When I was little, my father was famous He was the greatest samurai in the empire And he was the Shogun's decapitator He cut off the heads of a hundred and thirty-one lords It was a bad time for the empire The Shogun just stayed inside his castle and he never came out People said his brain was infected by devils My father would come home, he would forget about the killings He wasn't scared of the Shogun, but the Shogun was scared of him Maybe that was the problem Then, one night, the Shogun sent his ninja spies to our house They were supposed to kill my father but they didn't That was the night everything changed...

GZA seems like the most normal and mellow dude in the world. He doesn't care about weird sex stuff, thinks killing animals is cruel and unnecessary, cares about the enviroment and actually knows what bees do for global plant life, plus he enjoys the music of fellow 90's icon Björk. Hell, when other rappers and musicians do sleazy reality shows, he creates a Netflix show about science and lectures at colleges.

[@ssai__]

whats the name of that netflix show?

[@Dhakadice]

of all the guys in the wu tang clan, i feel like I could just sit down with GZA and have a really great conversation and it wouldn't even be awkward or anything. What a chill dude! Wish dirt had lived long enough to see what he aged into!

[@donatobozzuto5185]

We all NEED more people like him, he is an amazing person. Wu Tang in general was nothing short of a miracle, I'm so glad I've witnessed Wu Tang making history when I was young. White people (like me) can't even grasp their importance in the game, when they say "Wu Tang is for the children" they did really mean it, people like GZA (and many other urban artists) are still (trying to) educating people to these days.

that's just what sheltered idiots say. if you're poor and need healthcare there's a big difference between the two

[@MaSoisSoful]

carlos bones You are right. You are absolutely right. However, in the grand scheme of things, both parties mostly consist of white people. Even Democrats can vote against health care for everyone, which as you said, should absolutely be accessible and very affordable to the poor. I consider myself a progressive leftist.

[@semiskimmedbeats]

@@MaSoisSoful and they'll probably consist of mainly white people for at least the next 30/40 years. saying they're all the same and being apathetic does a disservice to the politicians who are actually in it for the right reasons, and if you're a progressive leftist those people are in the democratic party. i'm a massive advocate of voting for the lesser of two evils
