Exactly why Pac's whole story should've been a 5 season series. No way you can tell his story in two hours and it be worth a damn. I think they should still do it. We still will show up for Pac like that.

I been saying this. PAC’s story can’t be a movie. It gotta be a series. Dating back to his moms as a Black Panther.

Till next season nikkas:wow:



The scene where they bring up Dirty signing with either DJ or Elektra they made it seem like RZA was on:demonic: time. In the 20-30 years post deal was it really worth it?????



That scene wit Rae and Ghost on the roof:mjcry:


I never really noticed the "undone" ness of Protect Ya Neck video but i always wondered why RZA and UGod parts was in color while everyone else was B&W


Ghost was such a family man:pachaha:




The Flood:mjcry:




Hope we get that Gravediggaz storyline next season

Finale was fukking DOPE!

the flood man :mjcry: I knew that was coming when he wrote untitled on decks floppy disc :sadcam:

Dirty being wreckless in the bar letting the fame go to his head foreshadowing how he spirals in the future, was sad to watch

season 1 was great

season 2 was fukking phenomenal.

surely we get a season 3 announcement but maybe it’s too soon. Realistically we should get another 5 or 6 seasons or so. There’s just so many stories and things they could delve into.

GraveDiggaz would be dope.

I hopped in the dude who plays GZA IG live a couple weeks ago & he was asking what people thought on the show I brought up that I hope we get to see Rae & Ghost record with Mobb & Nas & then seeing GZA record liquid swords and he was all “oh y’all want that? I can’t say nothing” hush hush on that second part. So I got a hunch we’re gonna get a season three and see at least the recording of liquid swords

How did you get the 36 Chambers assignment?

Daniel Hastings: At that point I had [done] a couple of album covers. I didn’t have that many. I shot KRS-One’s Return of the Boom Bap. I shot this group, The Rumplestilskinz. I was becoming friends with some rappers, so I was going to a lot of rap functions. And [RCA Records art director] Jackie Murphy had already hired me for my first album cover, which was Rumplestilskinz, and they were signed to RCA. I was in Atlanta at the Jack the Rapper convention when I got the phone call from Jackie saying, “I got this really exciting group, Danny. They’re crazy. They’re crazier than the Rumplestilskinz. This is all you. I need you to do this.” I don’t think they knew yet how creative I was. I think they were just sending me the most dangerous work that other photographers wouldn’t do. [laughs] I was like, “Sure, sure. What’s the deal?” She’s like, “It’s this crazy group called Wu-Tang Clan.” And I was like, “Oh yeah, I’ve heard of them.” They had “Protect Ya Neck” out and you could hear it at some hip-hop shows. By coincidence, they were going to perform that day at Jack the Rapper. So I was like, “Maybe I can step to them and talk to them and introduce myself.” And she was like, “Yeah, go ahead. Good luck.” [laughs]

[As it turned out], these dudes were fukking crazy, bro. I'm at Jack the Rapper and I’m waiting, and I can’t remember who it was, but an old school group was performing. At that point, the new school didn’t have the respect for the old school the way they do now. You know what I’m saying? Back then, the old school [was seen] as kind of corny, and the new school was coming with their new ways of rapping. So at that point I don’t think they cared too much for old school shyt. Maybe I’m wrong. But what I witnessed definitely led me to believe that. 'Cause there was some old school guys rapping, and I’m not gonna say any names. But all of a sudden you seen a man standing [on stage] in the middle of their set, with a stocking mask [on his face], right? And he’s just staring at them. And this group is just going back and forth on the mic, and then [they see] this dude standing there with this stocking mask on in their middle of their set. They’re like, “What the fukk, son? We’re doing a set over here.” Yo, the man in the stocking mask goes and just snatches the microphone from this dude and pushes him to the side. And then all these dudes with masks just come on stage. And they push everybody out. They fukkin’ take the sound man off and get in the booth, and do whatever they got to do. And then they fukkin’ start going, “WU-TANG CLAN AIN’T NUTHIN’ TO fukk WIT’! WU-TANG CLAN AIN’T NUTHIN’ TO fukk WIT’! WU-TANG CLAN AIN’T NUTHIN’ TO fukk WIT’!” Yo, everyone was like, “What the fukk is that?!” [laughs] This shyt was in 1993. This [sort of thing] didn’t happen. These dudes just rushed the stage and just fukkin’ cleared everybody out. And that place went bananas, bro. Everybody just started jumping around, man, screaming “Wu-Tang!” I was jumping around. I mean, it was the best of the best shyt I’d seen. They had that “Protect Ya Neck” single, so dudes were checking for them, you know. Yo, man, it was fight music. They were like, “fukk that. We’re opening this shyt up.” No disrespect, but a lot these young rappers out now would not survive in the '90s, bro.

Ownership of your product is ALWAYS worth it. Especially since RZA was producing the bulk, if not all of those first wave of solo albums. If Dirty gets ownership in 20 years then so does RZA as the producer.


RZA was right in the decision but probably wrong in the execution. Dirty saw it as a betrayal because he always wanted to sign to Def Jam and he saw Meth being signed as RZA picking Meth over Dirty but really RZA WAS picking Dirty over Meth. Meth’s deal explicitly involved NO ownership rights. So RZA was in a sense, putting Meth on a label where he’d get a larger up front deal but “lose” on the backend whereas Dirty stood to gain in both the front AND back end

Whose set did they bum rush?

According to U, might have been Luke/2 Live Crew unless this is another year he's mentioning:

On rare occasions, it wasn’t just the hooligans at the shows or the cops outside the shows. Sometimes we’d get into it with other rappers. Jack the Rapper was this huge rap festival during the early nineties. Every year, rappers from all over would flock to Atlanta to “network” with both established and aspiring artists and label executives.

One of the times we were down there, maybe our first time, Luke from 2 Live Crew would not give up the mic. He wouldn’t let us on. 2 Live Crew was mad deep down there, and supposedly had been getting rowdy during the whole convention. Maybe Luke was trying to protect his market because we were down south. Whatever his reasoning, we were up next and he was keep- ing us from going onstage. We tried to be patient for a few moments, but you know how that goes when you’re hungry for recognition. So after a few moments, the Clan had to rush the stage to ensure we did what we came to do. In the fracas that ensued, Luke’s DJ got knocked out.

We didn’t care, though. We had to get up there ’cause that’s what we were there for. Unfortunately, after rushing the stage and finally getting it rocking, we only had time to do two songs. Just as well. Rushing the stage did as much for us as performing would have in terms of recognition.

fukk what yall be saying bout dude that plays RZA.

He kills it and puts alot of emotion into it. It really feels like the intensity RZA would have at that age.

The last shot of him staring into the water all teary eyed was great. He had a legit look of defeat on his face.
