I've read and seen interviews saying that some of beats on 36 Chambers and some other early Wu solos were made in 1990/91 era. I wouldn't be surprised if some of GZAs rhymes were written in the late 80s.
I think dude is speaking stylistically and aesthetically tho. Back when most rappers were trying to get a glossier, cleaner sound here comes Wu with barely mastered basement recordings.

As far the time period, I'm just assuming based on the stories they told in their songs in songs like "Cream" and "Can It Be All So Simple". Combine that with the kung fu landscape and the album puts you in a late 80's smoked out project hallway. That's how I felt listening to it when it first came out.
which is interesting considering that Cuban Linx sounds like Rae is going through all that shyt as he's recording the album. Much more immediate. Like he just finished snorting coke, and now he's gotta tell you about how real shyt is right now (Knowledge God)

The theme of Cuban Linx is clear. They are cats trying to escape the game after seeing a ton of sh*t go down. They made a lot of money, partied, smashed hoes, caught bodies, and got shot at. It's theatrical in nature (influenced by experiences of Rae & Ghost).
36 Chambers is more real life.

I heard Iron man in its entirety a few months ago. Got ob4cl because i hadnt heard it in forever. Then i got all the wu shyt. Ironman is probably one my fav rap albums if all time. Got high af and heard Rae on faster blade and lost my mind.
It was a movie, like every RZA executive produced album.
If you really pay attention, the kung fu interludes are used to illustrate each album's theme and move the story along (and in some cases, end the story).
