Hulu's....Wu Tang: An American Saga Official Thread 9/8

[Mtt]

never really got into the gravediggaz bc I wasn't feeling RZA as a MC and didn't know the rest of those rappers, that being said the first time listening to this song and that beat is beautiful, would've been nice to see the clan use prince paul's beats on either the wu album's or solo joints

Gravedigaz consisted of legendary Producer Prince Paul. He produced DeLaSoul first album and other projects he has worked on albums by Boogie Down Productions, MC Lyte, Big Daddy Kane and 3rd Bass, among others. Major recognition for Prince Paul came when he produced De La Soul's debut album 3 Feet High and Rising (1989), in which he pioneered new approaches to hip hop production, mixing and sampling, as well as by adding comedy sketches etc...
Fruitkwan was part of the group Stesasonic known in the late 80's as a hip hop band and their head rapper was Daddy O.
Daddy O has a new single out with Smith & Wessun.
Too Poetic, underground rapper who died due to colon cancer 2001

Knowledge God..most of them were snorting and smoking cocaine..

i always assumed that was cap...I think RZA or Rae even said so in a 'making of' article. But in the show, the Rae and Ghost characters were touching their noses a lot.

just digging around my collection...

Good time to revisit then. Gravediggaz are the truth.

The wax single for this is heavy as hell. All the Rza verses on the Pic Sickle Shovel has to be The Cure verses. Rza was spazzing on that Lp.

The other members were the nikkas from Stetsasonic (Fruwkan and Prince Paul) and Too Poetic (rest in paradise).

First couple eps were slow IMO, but once it got rolling, it got good. Waiting for season 2.

I’m on episode 2 and about to bail. The casting is terrible. I can’t stand this dude playing rza. Odb is great tho

Yeah RZA guy is a good actor but miscast. Give it two more, then decide.

I'd say give it 3-4 episodes. RZA is off, but Shameik as Rae, dude playing Divine are spot on. They really embody the way the guys act/talk.

Rae is on point, stick with it.

I just finished this in like 2 days i thought it was dope. I agree that tbey probably couldve got a more accurate rza but rza himself chose him and the kid got all his mannerisms, down to the way he walks. Raekwon, meth and ghost are all great casting choices imo, although rae and ghost should probably put more weight on lol

I was wondering where was UGOD but the season ended with them making their first track together. Im sure next season he comes in and we watch them create 36 chambers

They were recording 7th Chamber in the final episode of season 1.
