I reckon he aint really all that comfortable with the level of fame they have achieved especially recently.....all this Good Morning America, Vanity Fair shyt. It has put him in a position where he is basically forced to acknowledge Rzas leadership on a daily basis.

Don't see that at all. Ghost and RZA have seemed like best buddies over the past few years. Like they really put to bed any issues they may have had in the past and rekindling that friendship they had when they were sharing a crib in Stapleton projects back in the day. Ghost was the only Clan member that was supporting RZA for A Better Tomorrow.

Matter fact, most of them has seemed in very good spirits during the promo run for this series. Even U-God. A few of the new interviews he's smiling and laughing with RZA while they're being interviewed (check the Ari interview they did for NBC). That Vlad tv interview was conducted last year, way before this series dropped and even before U-God's book dropped. It's possible that they may have ironed out whatever issues they may have had with each other, at least for now (we know how the Clan gets) since that interview.

This is the mark of a great documentary, I am a Wu-Tang stan and I still learned things about the group. Is it safe to say this is the best hip-hop documentary ever?

Also please Ralph McDaniels, digitize your achives PLEASE!!!!

I bet there's rappers that pay for it to be done or company that would do it for free. Shyt the government should pay, this is music Americana and history.

Just finished ep. 3

Police stayed fukking with ODB, shyt made my skin hot watching it.
As far as I'm concerned, ODB should've never been locked up. Bullet proof vest? Running away from his rehab or whatever it was? Man fukk outta here.
Damn when RZA showed up to sign the release papers the cac manager didn't even know who he was, "Oh I thought you were taller" Goofy ass fool.
The footage of them in Japan was dope as hell, mid 90's shyt, takes me back to my youth.

I'm holding off on the last ep. This doc been that damn good :mjcry:

Watching it now...and loving it...brings back a lot of memories.

Ralph McDaniels really needs to release that vault of VHS and studio session recordings.

Let's just come out and say it: those Wu affiliate releases kept the Wu on life support until Supreme Clientele dropped because lord knows that second wave of releases from the generals post-Forever weren't up to par.


This is how I see it. The Pillage was a damn good album, better than Heavy Mental and kept the W up until Bobby Digital and Tical2000 which seemed to split the vote before Supreme Clientele came and absolutely crushed the buildings. Immobilarity, U God & Deck all fell flat.

Deck album oddly has grown on me in in the last 5 years.

Never seen the Jay-Z one but I heard that one was fire. The one for the black album.

Everywhere...You never there.
I’ve wondered this also. Could be that he’s getting older but he doesn’t have anywhere near the energy on the mic he used to have. He’s in my top 5 all time but he’s definitely not the same

@TEKBEATZ

Yeah I’ve noticed that too ... something doesn’t seem quite right ... it is reminiscent of post stroke complications ... hope it’s nothing health related . He has battled diabetes .
