OLD Wu-Tang Clan Interview part 1

[@lp983]

gza is an absolute genius

[@harlem6365]

Genius isnt the proper word to describe how great he is

[@sneakospeaks4047]

The way he describes the mystery of chessboxin is crazy

[@fouadelguebeily6251]

its literally his name

[@anthonyfrederick2188]

Look into it he is also a professor and teaches at a college he is very smart

[@Escobaz96]

Knowledge, wisdom and understanding complete

[@H1TMAN9]

As much as ODB was high and drunk he was still a wise person who spoke the absolute truth

[@lowkeylegendaryn8v844]

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.

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

[@Tracks2Jam2]

Odb is very articulate and clear headed. In juxtaposition to how ppl ignorantly think of him.

[@manoneal1724]

Wow..the difference between hip-hop then and now. Even in just the way that they talk and express themselves...completely different culture.

Dirty's energy was always different to the others, that's why it's appropriate that he was standing to one side and notice how the others weren't reacting to him or playing off anything he said. They knew he was a talent but I think on one level they weren't completely rolling with him

[@FigurativeDreams]

He was addicted to crack

[@HybOj]

yes, rest of the group made hip hop more according to the rules, ODB broke all rules all the time, so he made em sometimes a bit uncomfortable... but in this video, all is good... they just sometimes scared what he will say or do, because nobody can predict that...

This is gold. I was reborn three and I have a new gift and the exact same flow as one of these guys but I can’t tell by the music who’s who.

That "Big Po" dude is Oli Grant, one of their business managers, as the one guy already said I see. Great interview, appreciated seeing Dirty(RIP) looking sane and healthy and how he described his "tiger style." Interesting to hear him say "Gza taught Rakeem.." , I assume he means how to rap. I always thought they sounds like two sides to the same coin. I know Masta Killa keeps it mysterious, and no wu-fan cares about U-God, but woulda been nice to hear from Deck.

[@latoyadavis2648]

Look at the science of things and then we apply it...gza yessss

[@uhmnope3795]

Notice how ODB off to the side and how certain members kinda shrug him off when he starts talking. Then you think about how things were towards the end of his life. How they didn't have his back in jail, how he struggled to make ends meet while his brothers eating good, how his own cousin didn't want to let him out of the contract. I'm sorry I love Wu, but you can see the cracks in the foundation. They knew they needed his style, but they didn't really care for him being extra or speaking on his philosophies. I wish I would have never known about the history of Wu and ODB then maybe in ignorance I could've enjoyed this interview.

my theory is that Ghost just committed a crime and was trying to lay low for a minute. He told the clan to not mention him.
