Rza rocking a white shirt sitting on a cream white couch while Paul in all black on a black couch - You get the picture

[@vexshoemaker3941]

No we don’t understand. Please explain to us...

[@lilensik]

True: Paul is dark and mysterious, RZA is cheerful and funny

[@koreypaul6698]

@@vexshoemaker3941 Think is a yin yang thing coming together...

[@vexshoemaker3941]

Korey Paul Word...

[@thewirah1]

Chess reference?

[@reneeb6411]

My God! Paul has to be the sexiest man on this earth right now!

[@eastbaywyadh]

I meet RZA A few years ago working backstage at a rock the bells concert. Of all the celebrities I have met in 10 years event bartending he is hands-down one of my top five favorite people. He was very personable, respectful, held an interesting and intelligent conversation . This West Coast girl is now a Wu fan.

[@pooppoo8379]

Paul is truly a golden nugget. So precious

[@ChreezyGee]

such an unlikely bromance, but that makes it good!

[@alandickerson9779]

As a huge Interpol fan, this is growing on me. I definitely like the camaraderie in a divided world.

[@sweetiepie1110]

Only reason I’m watching this vid is to watch Paul Banks beauty

[@Vrunge90]

"Bwothas shooting off tha wooftop".😂😂😂

[@manimazinani8331]

"Foundated" Thank you RZA for a great new word.

[@alandickerson9779]

They definitely need to make a video for Wild Season.

[@mariabelokhonova6864]

Paul Banks ❤

[@LaazrGaming]

Being from London, I NEED TO HEAR THIS BEAST OUT OF WATER Track asap!...Hook it up Noisey!

[@0000x0000referenced]

Earl Sweatshirt trying to be RZA with his hairline

[@rondelllee8936]

Nigel Okello 😂😭😭😭

[@jasoncsr.9778]

Nigel Okello LOLOLOLOL!!!!😭😭😭😭!!!!

[@vexshoemaker3941]

Earl Sweatshirt is trash.

[@dunadan1995]

I already love those guys as a group. All of the singles were terrific.

[@glodbuddha4691]

*terrible

[@dunadan1995]

GLOD BUDDHA come on man, at the very least Giant was fucking awesome.

[@glodbuddha4691]

Дмитрий Сусов meh...

[@SleepFan771]

I just got the Banks & Steelz album. It's pretty cool.

[@novenaprayer7487]

RZA is such a love. Bless him. ❤

[@UnderTheMillkyWay]

The best and the worst of this is knowing I still haven't heard beast out of water and knowing they have plenty of tracks for other albums. Why tell us this? We the people need this. I also know that there are other songs that were written early on that never saw the light from the 2001 Interpol the b sides that need to be released. We need this badly.

[@SomebodyPerfectly]

Damn I laughed so fucking hard at the one with the stash box in the Wu Hummer xD

[@VEGAN-X]

RZA SHOULD DEFINITELY DO A WHOLE ALBUM THAT SOUNDS LIKE GOOD NIGHT AND NO REGRETS OF DIGI SNACKS

[@MarknoblesAcidhouseparty]

new yorkers are like Londoners in my opinion .... the two best cities in the world for music and style

[@TRey-ly4vx]

Paul Banks is English aswell.

[@miramirakalomira9044]

Paul looks so sleepy. Cute

[@ANPHKI]

Banks is like a moody girlfriend. Your making RZA do all the work fam.

[@christopherneville706]

Rza does love to chat though.

[@fcdaley]

RZA is a legend

[@uche2564]

RZA the genius behind wu tang

[@vexshoemaker3941]

Thanks for the info, Captain obvious...

[@patypus555]

Red Hook is pretty safe and bourgie now, RZA is right lmao

[@3peaceearth]

Peace. What a great title for the album. Thanks for teachin peace...we need it! 1music

[@KitchenRoach]

Haven't heard but anything with the RZA will not disappoint

[@Fattydeposit]

Not to hate, but be careful with those expectations.

[@glodbuddha4691]

the singles are terrible

[@mariedm5159]

HI MY DARLING I LIKE YOUR INTERVIEW THANKS FOR EVERYTHING YOU SAY ABOUT US ONE MONTH TODAY FOR THIS INTERVIEW I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MY DARLING 😍😍

[@mariedm5159]

WE ARE COUPLE ARTISTS

[@Crystalcloudzz]

Banks and Norman reedus are twins

[@FlawlessBegetz]

Anything but words sounds Flames

[@alexwelts2553]

I lost my license from a paperwork error on behalf of the state that "forgot" to dismiss in the computer that my showing proof of insurance in court dismissed the offense. Lost my driving job, my home, pretty much everything tbh. And I absolutely refuse to go apply for permission to drive when I found out they lack the authority to withhold. I got so pissed when I felt legit unsafe but was afraid to relocate and commit a crime driving. But contract with them is what would bind. I still be driving because I can't afford a driver.

[@danasweeklypicks5033]

Paul 😻

[@joseywales7829]

bobby digital on the track you know that shit is fire, peace god

[@loudbill]

Great convo

[@Trazynn]

Finishing the interview by speculating about a video of a song that's not even going to be released is just evil.

[@mariedm5159]

I LIKE WHEN YOU SAY WE ARE COUPLE ARTIST

[@KREEPYKRAWLLY]

where can I get their songs from?

[@nunyabiz6054]

buy the album lol

[@GPSCIENCE]

Dope

[@warnutztheloser]

rza Blew Da Fuck up

[@lilcaesa]

rza a smith with that hairline

[@vexshoemaker3941]

What’s wrong with his hairline? It’s pretty nice for being 50 years old. You are gunna be bald when you grow up, so quit playin’.

[@潘瑞-t2x]

more chi more power wutang world wide

[@khalilmason]

WOW.

[@Lakeside-lj3qw]

If only Paul Banks knew Rza used to smoke dust

[@Lifxzvb]

Who gives a fuck

[@DUMBOYCASTLE]

Who's to say he doesn't know?

[@diegooliveirabenjamin]

And who's to know what Paul smokes

[@LittleDinkens]

Real talk

[@vexshoemaker3941]

Suck it, Jose.

[@Creemetierraloestoyevaluando]

Paul just mary me 🙂

[@Enigma2300]

I love that Joe Walsh song!!!

[@mariedm5159]

You are everything for me MY DARLING

[@sansara7640]

[@Smokesterr]

Gang

[@TeeTrizzy]

Rzarector, YA

[@sirflexington2435]

I don't know If this was back & forth. rza talked a lot about himself. I don't even who hell Paul Banks is

[@maximelaneville854]

Check out Interpol, the dudes a legend.

[@cool64378]

Saiamrad Williams he contributes a lot more in the hot ones interview, go check it out

[@_e-e]

Paul doesn’t like interviews, he’s always been like this even on his own interviews he’s not so exited

[@denmun9722]

I absolutely love both of these guys, and rza/Wu was soundtrack of my youth... but in a mutual exclusive kind of way. The "fusion" thing of always trying to incorporate hip hop is corny and horrible. No one did it well except Rage

[@mariedm5159]

MY RZA I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MY DARLING 😍😍

[@mariedm5159]

HI MY DARLING MY BEST UNIQUE ILOVEYOU SO MUCH MY DARLING FOREVER😍😍

[@mariedm5159]

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MY DARLING MY RZA, MY EYES WATCHING ONLY YOU MY BABY AND FOREVER 😍😍

[@picchu10]

man, Paul is old af

[@vexshoemaker3941]

Nah. You are just a young buck that grew up in a shitty, saturated spoiled generation.

[@celiasarron]

GIVE US MORE BANKS AND STEELZ!
