Also, the allegorical episodes are right up Wu's alley. They talk about everything from pop culture, comic books, cartoons, Kung Fu flicks, science, religion, philosophy...they stretch creativity. Listen to how Ghost tells a story.

You have a Speed Racer video, Triumph, Cheesboxin, a Wally factory, Tragedy, Gravel Pit (and all of The W videos)...and tons of other videos. They've rarely done things in a conventional way, so why would their story be any different?

Eagle bracelet Ghost?! :gladbron: THIS IS NOT A DRILL! :damn:


Jerome :stopitslime:

The parallel of RZA going back to Guitar Center to cop the MPC 3000 as a star, when he had to boost the floor model 2000 to make the first album :wow:

Rae still trying to make American Cream Team happen :beli: I get wanting to put your people on, but :unimpressed:

As soon as I saw the mystery black car pull up with Delfonics playing in the background, I knew we were getting that classic fukkery :mjgrin:

Was Ghost coming home, getting into an argument with Shurrie, then bouncing a reference to the 'Cobra Clutch' vid? :leon:

'All That I Got Is You' coming out of all that energy is :mjcry: :wow: Ghost has said that he was going through some shyt while recording the album so it all tracks.

Power opting not to max out in Spain and do business with the Jews was :ohhh: given the episode title.

Ms. Diggs becoming the new owner of the Wu Mansion :wow:

'Assasination Day' vibes :banderas:

The fact that him buckin out the window with the Delfonics in the car is confirmed to be a true story makes it all the more classic lol

I don't remember exactly what happened with Wu Wear
I remember the stores, the big push in Macy's, and the reports of million dollar revenues
But by the time the "urban wear" explosion happened in the late 90s (Enyce, Esco, Mecca, PNB, FUBU, Sean John, Phat Farm, etc) Wu Wear was a has been in the same category as Karl Kani and Cross Colors
Did Power eventually sell to the tribe and there was some drama behind it with the Wu? Did they end up in Marshalls and shyt?

From Power interviews, it seems like he decided to close it before he ended up taking too much of a loss. By 98, Wu were done in mainstream America anyway, so unless he solely went overseas, I understand. He re-formed perhaps 10 years ago. Hell, other than Phat Farm, it lasted longer than those other brands.
