Wu-tang: An American Saga | Season 3 | Official Thread

So it's safe to say the "Mad Rappers" are Ghostface and Rae

I thought the Mad Rapper skit was a shot at Ghostface specifically from the first time I heard that shyt

I loved this episode. Who really wants a beat for beat generic making of type sequence that fills the episode? I love the allegorical episodes that break down the mindset behind the albums. There were so many Easter eggs. And if you're paying attention, the album was the score to the episodes - tracks giving the mood and plot points of the scenes.

Hell, it's the Wu. The sprinkled science, religion, pop culture, comic books, 60s & 70s music, cartoons and Kung Fu flicks in building their mythology. Why would the show be run-of-the-mill?

Yep. RZA and Wu have never done anything conventionally so doing these kinds of the wall episodes is right up their alley.

The story could have been done better though. What about a five families(borough) struggle for NYC supremacy since you already introduced Nas, Big, L and Fat Joe?

But then again, that’s not a one episode story.

It was also about Jeru and the Roots. Big was such a gentleman with the way he addressed blatant disrespect. He took so many arrows, but never really took it that personal. He just addressed that shyt on wax nonchalantly….“This goes out to you, and you and you”.

Right, we already got a peek at the recording process in the first and second seasons, ain't too many ways to make that interesting without treading old ground, so why not get conceptual with it?

This album was just a tsunami that hit the streets and changed the game.
shyt just spread like a virus everywhere.

Dope episode

 

[BrothaZay]

This shyt is terrible
Mainly because the actors.
But then again Wu had so many characters and strong personalities it’s probably hard to accurately portray them
Still. It’s still ass

 

[Bryan Danielson]

I’m sorry…. I don’t think that was Kim….

 

[Conscious Pilot]

Yeah this episode was fire. Dude from Dope n the Get Down of course has transformed into The Chef but nikka who plays Ghost is nice as hell too. Love how they incorporated Nas, Big L, Fat Joe and Biggie into the episode.

i wonder why they are allowed to use some songs, but not others

[Morose Polymath]

Escobar, Corleone, Joey Crack and Frank White all had a part to play in this recent ep.

Love how Ghost was still suspicious of Biggie even after they met up with him

 

[Atsym Sknyfs]

I couldve swore Ghost said he never met biggie. I remember an interview back when that 3 bricks song with biggie drop
