OLD Wu-Tang Clan Interview part 1

Yo, check this out. This the Wu-Tang Clan.
A very old Interview with the clan, Ghost isn't even mentioned for some reason and we got the RZA but he not in effect right now.
who is the first guy ODB points out? Users 'hey12358y' and 'capmoradah' say he is Oli Grant aka Power. 'Robert Acevedo' agrees saying, "it's "Big Pook" aka Power aka Oliver "Power" Grant, who is the president of Wu Wear/WuTang brand. He also starred in BELLY as "Knowledge" and in BLACK & WHITE as "Rich Bower". "

He sounds wise, but he was actually smart. I've learned the most from the lowest of men. O.D.B never really got out, he stayed in and spiraled. "The wise man learns from others mistakes, a smart man makes mistakes of his own." R.I.P.... had he been wise perhaps we would all be listening to new WU. Although through his sacrifice others might have changed their ways before it was too late. He was a major asset to the universe in my opinion, both good and bad at times im sure, but his actions carried wide spread weight regardless.

[@BlutUndEhre88]

GZA's use of metaphors is unmatched. Damn, he's sharp! No wonder he's the 'Spiritual head' of the Wu. Edit - I just noticed how blazed Meth is in the video 😂😂😂😂😂

[@stillgotyourmom]

Yep he said we watches Kung fu movies all day and their way is sharp 😂😂😂 Very wise...

[@KEVINNH603]

[@angelthecholo]

GZA has the most intelligent sounding voice lol Idk exactly how to put it but I was reading the Wu Manual and RZA said something like he can make the simplest rhyme sound amazing. its all in his voice.

[@shabbankjes1775]

His secret is his consiousness about everything. You can see that his third eye is wide open. Not many people nowadays talks like him. Because they are drowned in this world and won't see the real shit.

I love how ODB talks MAD game for his brothers, he really does, as do all of them, respect and openly show love for his brothers. Especially when he hyped RZA for buy and learning the recording equipment. It’s just nice to see and makes me a prouder Wu-Tang killah bee

Straight legends. They so goated they even talked lyrics. The lyrics their talking are better than the lyrics rappers today claim they freestyle. You know... the golden age of hip hop artist had pride in saying they wrote their lyrics. Nowadays everyone so caught up in tryna be the best freestyler that they all claim they "freestyle their lyrics in one punch".

[@liquidmetalslime9]

He was, but he lost his entire album in a flood Including all of the beats rza had for the album. They couldn't recover the discs for the beats/recording. He was supposed to be one of the first up, method man also lost a chunk of his solo album due to Rza's basement flooding and they had to hurry and remake a lot of Tical. Method man is not a fan of the version of Tical that we know, till this day for that very reason. I would have loved to know what Deck's first album really sounded like and how different his career would have been had that never happened to him.
