Wu Tang 1st Interview (rare)

[@JQUE94]

ODB was talking about helping the babies from the jump. And his mission and message never changed

[@matchingfingerprints]

"wu-tang is for the children"

[@anthonysalcedo3740]

Nothing will ever beat this energy in rap ever again

[@abrahampalmer8761]

Agreed the energy of rap these days feels so dry bland and off you can feel it

[@pitegaillard]

TRUE

[@jamesd1590]

RZA really was a motivator - impressive how he got these guys organized and on the same page to believe

[@the-engneer]

Definitely a genius on so many levels. His production skills are amazing!

Wu proved to everyone that you can still make it even with a RAW sound.

[@ghostshipone]

That’s why they made it.. and they were real. Everyone was scared of them.. they also ran 100 deep in poise when turning up to shows with stick up kids in the pack.

[@WelcomeToThe92503]

Kinda what griselda did. Those two to this day are going to be the most coveted groups of my lifetime from the east coast They took that raw grimy new York sound and stayed original and made everyone else pay attention.. as opposed to now everyone else does it and makes music that's trendy hoping to get put on

Wu tang had a real meaning in their rap music,the truth about life in America. The real struggle.

[@mowerfoo7935]

U right.

[@jeffbelfi]

What u know about that?

[@scienz]

Wu is soul music

[@cool_cat6698]

"We bring the struggle from the streets to the beats", RZA. Damn the guy just pulled a crazy punchline right here! One of the best formations in history of music, back in the day when hip hop was more about the brotherhood and how to get on with the struggle than about b**ches and guns!

[@HAYDS510]

The real RZA has that charisma. I don't know why he's got his mini-me in American Saga sounding like DMX and standing around all serious likes he’s going through a breakup. The real one has high-energy cocky older brother vibes. American Saga RZA is a little bro who just lost his turn on the Nintendo.

[@bennyshambles]

I know, right? He does sound like DMX. He needs to rock a lisp to sound more like RZA (Wizzuh).
