Wu Tang Clan: C/D?

That said, when I did listen to early Wu-related stuff all the time, my first and biggest love was Only Built 4 Cuban Lynx.

man fuck those things. thought this would at least be abt Wu-Massacre or something.

i feel some vague bond with you because you use the same link portals as me.

I'd really be surprised if anybody would ever put "36 Chambers" in the "dud" category. The meat of the debate on ilx is the debate over whether Iron Flag is any good or not, as well as Forever. and it looks like this thread is missing that.

To thread: two people with differing opinions on Iron Flag.

.gif is funnier due to people getting irrationally worked up over it, tbh.

not really -- it's just a not even funny example of an internet meme that's like 3 years old

wow, you're so smart and current.

don't get mad because you posted a lame .jpg on the internet

I like Iron Flag. That album is badass. Well, half of it is anyway. Listen to "Good Thing We Brought the Glock" and tell me that beat doesn't kick ass all over the place.

xp

lol not mad, still genuinely LOLing at your jerk reaction

i can haz liquid swords

Raw, J0rdan S. gives it to ya, with no trivia.....

lol jordan ilu

oh god wasn't this a 'thing' back when MIMS was hot

this was why he was hot iirc

classic since dusty watson toured with them once

good god, you guys will fight about anything

36 Chambers is great. Forever is great. Iron Flag is great. The W is mostly great. 8 Diagrams is mostly crap.

call me crazy, but i like wu tang clan a lot

36 Chambers is great. Forever is great. Iron Flag is great. The W is mostly great. 8 Diagrams is mostly crap great.

They are all great. Even 8 Diagrams (although it is the least great.)

I like to pretend 8 Diagrams doesn't exist.

personally, I like to listen to it

8 Diagrams is great if you need music to play while you discuss something illegal that you want nobody else to hear but not to actually listen to.

so i'm having fun listening to wu massacre. annoying lack of ghostface, who seems to have just grudgingly dropped of a leftover solo track and a few verses, but the production is nice enough, decidedly upbeat throughout. the rza produced track is the most blatanly dilla-aping beat he's ever made (and is very good), and the rest is good but i suppose too familiar to really excite.

haha love j0rdan's graph

ghostface: my mouth stay hot like chinese mustard wasabi with spicy lentils

method man: i'm a hard one to swallow, here's another hard one to gargle *ahh*

raekwon: wild like indians, al caponians

Fact: Although he is recognized as a world-class martial arts expert, Chuck Norris is not a member of the Wu-Tang Clan.

"Wolves" on 8-Diagrams is fucking HOT

so who's heard Wu Massacre

besides samosa apparently

still haven't got it.

whiney reviewed it http://twitter.com/1000TimesYes/statuses/11656049226

twitter crit depresses me

(no offense Whiney)

longer than most posts on ilx

ilx poster killah priest & rev are also up on this rolling stupid fruity crazy swag thread

re: Grantland, i mean

no Ghost interview wtf

The writer explains in the article that despite his best efforts he didn't managed to get an interview with him.

The U-God one was a bit sad, with his efforts to do a record with Ghost and his acting dreams and all... Kinda like a rap version The Story of Anvil or something.

I'm a little worried about Cappadonna...

“I have yet to understand the value of Arizona,” Cappadonna says, with a heavy heart. “I have yet to understand why God brought me here.”

the whole cappadonna section is wonderful

“I have yet to understand the value of Arizona,” Cappadonna says, with a heavy heart. “I have yet to understand why God brought me here.”

probably a lot of people feel this way

great read

no ghost interview is the perfect capstone to the thing, it is what jon lewis is talking abt in another thread--

is there a name for the kind of completion that only occurs when something is omitted?

--the Lack. the ghost. face. anyway, jell of that piece.

the phrase you are seeking is "structuring absence"

https://faculty.washington.edu/mlg/courses/definitions/structuringabsence.htm

oh word, when zizek talks about this he calls it Lack like it's an energy source in a fantasy novel the old ham

i think there is a difference b/t lack and structuring absence but in any event the latter phrase is clearer i think

wu-tang killer bees on attack / ghostface's absence might be called "the lack"

this lack is like ziti

i eat ziti, I'm slavoj zizek / tell jacques lacan to protect ya neck

ok I'm done

ugh that sounds like a fucking das rascist line

dlh took the joke as far as it needed to go

agreed

So they're doing this: http://www.spin.com/articles/wu-tang-clan-one-copy-secret-album-norules-shaolin/

love this Rza interview, could listen to him talk all day

Who dares to wear this shirt? Who dares to get punched in the sternum over and over and over?

hey Shkreli paid $15 million in bitcoins for that shirt

this is p good

http://www.pitchfork.com/news/rza-announces-new-album-wu-tang-the-saga-continues/

that article has some interesting phrasing

yeah, lot of marketing word salad

According to a press release, the album is executive produced by RZA and “crafted by” DJ Mathematics. As the title suggests, it also features Wu-Tang Clanmembers. 

like it's cool that the members of Wu Tang Clan have some features on their new album. def seems like RZA somehow owns"Wu Tang" the business and is holding over everyone's head

I'd really love an in depth piece on all the bad blood in the Clan over the past 15 years

36 Chambers is 25 years old today

anyone seen the new 4 part documentary?

First three parts so far, it’s ok . really wish ODB was around to tell his side of the story since he was there from the start and a lot of shit went down there between him and Rza

really wish ODB was around to tell his side of the story

this could certainly add nothing but clarity and coherence to any documentary

lol

Shame on you!
