Wu-Tang: An American Saga - Da Mystery of Chessboxin’ Recording Session

[@Okkotsu86275]

I love U-God's booming low voice

[@Nathan-zd8ew]

Masta Killa verse here is a the best rendition of any of the Wutang covers in this show. Not only does he sound like him, but all the tonal changes and vowel pronounciations are so on point. Well done to that dude.

[@t0xy74]

I was really thinking about that, like, Dave East does a EXCELLENT job as Method Man, but sometimes he just don't get on point like the og song, this actor does this perfect

[@six7264]

Gza and Inspectah's actors are really dead on too. What's wild is that the actor for Ghostface sounds nothing like him talking, but gets into it when he's rapping.

[@beerdo]

@@six7264 I was super surprised/caught off guard when I seen the Inspectah tag in the hallway and it wasn't Joey Badass, but the new dude really took his opportunity and ran with it!

[@bombay3201]

His verse closed the song perfectly

[@elijahdavis2496]

When Dave east did shadow boxing was the best he sounded just like meth on that scene

[@Viaterarising]

That Masta Killa verse is LEGENDARY!!

[@designatedpiledriver8216]

The most stand out thing about this show is the display of BROTHERHOOD. I love it

[@jordanletoto1474]

I was so stoked when they highlighted masta killa’s verse in the show. Still my favorite Wu verse 👐🏼

Facts man Masta Killa don’t get a lot of love but I fucks wit him him and UGod mixtape together was dope

[@savageshawn10]

@@Scambityfactsteam I gotta say bro...the best Masta Killah verse for me was Assassination Day on Ghostface's Ironman album.

On that song or every verse ??

Still one of the illest verses on the album.

[@jbassey231]

@@darionjackson2599 stop what? I'm not hating, it's my honest opinion! I grew up listening to the Wu and know each members cadence, flow and style extremely well.. The cast of the show bar the dudes playing Ghost, GZA, ODB and maybe Dave East can't emulate these characters properly. The personalities in the Clan are big plus the heavy NYC influence is hard to portray if you're not familiar with it... Again it's an opinion you can take it or leave it..

[@retrocanadianlife7666]

So its safe to say UGods actor is the most acurate to the member of Wu Tang.. the man looks and sounds like UGod that's insanely fire. I want you to listen to this verse and listen to the track. Pitch for Pitch, Bar for Bar he matches it

[@keithturner7108]

ODB character was pretty close.

If only they showed what really happened when it was down to Masta Killa and Killah Priest and Priest was going to get the last verse and be the 9th member but he was so stoned that he fell asleep and RZA was saying that the verses were first come first serve so Masta Killa went in killed it and Killah Priest woke up hearing the verse.

Yoo. Sparked the the brain when i heard u god.. They czptured the nostalgia. Even dude finzlly stzrted sounding like rza xhen hyped. Sounded very kung fuish. Well done. Good acting. Even masta whose flow is calm but this was the track he screamed on but was still very articulate. Thats the first wu banga. One thing they need to showcase is how wu mastered their finishing line of their rhymes to complete their bard. Gza style. U hods verse was orobzbly cut. In this version it cuts iff with elpty dpace sounded incomplete
