dunno abt the drum production, strikes me as a little plinky, but i haven't listened on a good system yet

best music related article i've read in a minute:

http://grantland.com/features/wu-tang-clan-20th-anniversary-reunion-rza-gza-ghostface/

cool, will read

;_;

I ask Icelene for a memory of her husband, one that comes to mind more than any other. She answers quickly.

“I think back to when we were young. We had to walk past this building, Building 5, and that’s where all the Gods and Earths were. They were men and women that were studying in the Nation of Islam, that knew their lessons. And when we walked past them, he made sure he knew his — how much the planet weighs, how far we are from the moon — and it made him feel great. Because you had to be a positive person — you couldn’t smoke, drink, nothing like that — to walk past them with your head up high. He taught me from a young girl how to respect myself. And he didn’t speak like no other guy that I knew. So I just fell in love with him.”

He would eventually come back to the Wu. On Ghostface’s excellent reunification cut “9 Milli Bros,” Capp steals the show with a nod to the bad old days: “Diggler, a.k.a. the cab driver / Drop you off in the middle of fire.”

:)

It’s impossible not to wonder what could have been. But that thought should be trumped by what was — that this even happened at all.

new and now and not bad at all on first listen!

The chorus is a little shit but yeah that's not bad!

Grantland article was excellent.

^^^

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!
