Not RZA.. The dude playing as him

Cover Story: Ashton Sanders in His Own Powerful Words

Oh hell naw! They was better off casting him as Ghost's son, Infinite in future seasons instead of Rza

Ok.. Last couple of comments kinda got me depressed.

I was hoping the meeting with just ice kinda was the jumping off point...rza gets knowledge of self and kinda morphs into the Abbot.

But yeah.. Your man is mad stiff.. Was hoping that was by design but it doesn't seem like it now

I doubt his acting will change but we'll see. You never know. Dope series so far regardless.

“WZA” damn good name for this kid

Yea, the height thing is noticeable but not a huge issue. It's the rigid acting. Breh just seems way too uncomfortable and shy to play RZA. There's several other actors on the show that don't really fit the physical description of the Wu members they are playing but they are doing a good job. The Shameik kid playing Rae for instance. He's acting like Rae to a tee. From the way he stands to even the way he makes his mouth. Everything the kid has been doing I can see Rae doing. This episode really displayed how off the RZA casting was because it's the first one that was focused mainly on him. He was on screen like 90% of the time in this episode.

I think the key for me is one thing:

I can't see this dude yelling "YO RAE AND GHOST WHATS UP nikka AAAAAAHHHHH" at all

Yea. If you not familiar with him, do your research. Just was a wild nikka. One of the first NY MCs who actually was a certified goon off the mic. How they showed him in this episode was a very accurate portrayal.

He come out before Kool G Rap?

 

[Don Jesus]

He come out before Kool G Rap?

yes and kool g rap was not a certified goon

 

[Ze Pequeno]

Was that the kid from the hoodies in the record store?

I am an old head so all this shyt is cool for me to see. I am just now watching the ep, but funny thing is I was listening to Just Ice this past weekend and didnt even know he was going to be on the ep. He came out around the time of BDP and was produced by (Kurtis) Mantronik. He had hits like Latoya, Cold Gettin Dumb, Going Way Back.

I am a ball head so the Kenny Smith reference was easy once he said Rockets and Queens.

 

[surv2syn]

the thing about this story that I fascinates me is...I was growing up and remember Prince Rakeem and the Genius and was rocking with them hard. I bought The Genius album when it came out. I remember when Wu came out and was like ok, thats Rakeem and Genius. What I didnt know was because it was such a big time gap that Wu was basically a clique during the Rakeem and Genius time. You are talkin about at least a 4 year gap which is like 8 years in rap years. Never knew he was even developing the Wu sound during the Rakeem run.
