About Wu-Tang Clan

Founded in New York City's Staten Island in the early 1990s, the Wu-Tang Clan is comprised of members RZA, GZA, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, U-God, Masta Killa, Inspectah Deck, Cappadonna, and the deceased Ol' Dirty Bastard (ODB). Their name is a reference to a 1983 martial arts film.

Led by the production of RZA, samples from martial arts films have thematically appeared throughout the group's music, as have samples of classic funk and soul tracks from artists like Rick James, James Brown, and Syl Johnson. As a group, Wu-Tang Clan have three platinum albums among their eight LPs, and the group's complete anthology (including solo albums) has more than 85 full-length releases. More than just rappers, Wu-Tang Clan are entrepreneurs and successful cultural influencers, with an empire that features everything from clothing lines and video games to books and acting credits.

Considered by many to be the greatest hip-hop group of all time, Wu-Tang Clan have been touring as a unit since their debut record — Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) — came out in 1993. The now triple-platinum release vaulted the New York City group with songs like "C.R.E.A.M." (Cash Rules Everything Around Me) and "Protect Ya Neck" that are about as recognizable as anything in the rap canon.

Their live sets are a family affair, with every member of the crew representing their lyrical contributions to the Wu's eight studio albums, as well as notable cuts from the Wu-Tang solo discography. With the omnipresent Wu-Tang "W" flanking all angles of the stage, there's a familiarity to Wu-Tang Clan's music that gives their shows unique mass appeal.

Whether they're delivering the 36 Chambers record front to back on the album's 25th Anniversary Tour, or tracks from GZA's seminal Liquid Swords and Raekwon's mafioso-minded Only Built 4 Cuban Linx..., or honoring the legacy of their departed brother, Ol' Dirty Bastard, every Wu-Tang Clan show is a celebration of prolific careers as individuals and especially as the most storied group in hip-hop history.

Nas (Nasir Jones) first reached an international audience when his track “Halftime” was tapped by producer MC Serch as the opening cut on 1992’s Zebrahead movie soundtrack.  Signed to Columbia Records, the first full-length album by poet and rhyme-master Nas arrived in 1994, Illmatic.  The RIAA platinum hip-hop landmark featured “It Ain’t Hard To Tell,” “The World Is Yours,” and “One.”  1996 brought the breakthrough double-platinum It Was Written (#1 R&B for 7 weeks, #1 pop for 4 weeks), with his first major crossover singles “Street Dreams” and “If I Ruled the World (Imagine That).” Success continued with the double-platinum I Am in 1999 (again #1 pop and #1 R&B), with the chart singles “Nas Is Like,” “Hate Me Now” (featuring Puff Daddy), and “You Won’t See Me Tonight” (featuring Aaliyah).

Subsequent albums by Nas included: the RIAA platinum Nastradamus (1999, #2 R&B, #7 pop, with “Nastradamus” and “You Owe Me,” featuring Ginuwine); the platinum Stillmatic (2001, #1 R&B, #5 pop, with “Got Ur Self A…,” “ “One Mic,” and “Rule”); the platinum God’s Son (2002, #1 R&B, with huge R&B/pop crossover hits “Made You Look” and “I Can”); and the platinum double-CD Street’s Disciple (2004, #2 R&B, #5 pop, with “Bridging the Gap” and “Just a Moment”). And his 2012 album, Life Is Good earned him 4 Grammy nominations including Rap Album of the Year and is certified RIAA gold.

Over the years, Nas has also been the featured guest on a number of crossover hits by other artists, among them: Allure (“Head Over Heels,” 1997); Missy Elliott (the #1 “Hot Boyz,” 1999); fellow Queensbridge rapper Mobb Deep (“It’s Mine,” 1999); Jagged Edge (“I Got It 2,” 2002); J-Lo (“I’m Gonna Be Alright,” 2002); Kanye West (“Classic (Better Than I’ve Ever Been),” 2006); DJ Khaled (“Nas Album Done,” 2016); Swizz Beats (“Echo,” 2018); Jhene Aiko (“10K Hours,” 2020) and others.

In August 2020, Nas released King’s Disease. King’s Disease marked Nas’ first new album in 2 years. The album was entirely produced by Hit-Boy, and Gabriel “G Code” Zardes serves as the albums co-executive producer. The album won “Best Rap Album” at the 2021 GRAMMYs, marking Nas’ first ever GRAMMY win.

In August of 2021, Nas released King’s Disease II, a sequel to the GRAMMY Award winning album. King’s Disease II was executive produced by Nas and Hit-Boy and features collaborations with Eminem, EPMD, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, YG, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Hit-Boy & more. The album earned a nomination for “Best Rap Album” at the upcoming 64th GRAMMY Awards. Most recently, Nas released a surprise album titled Magic featuring A$AP Rocky and DJ Premier.

In addition to his successful career in music, Nas has pursued a career in motion pictures that began with his co-starring role (alongside DMX) in 1998’s cult classic crime drama Belly, a film by director Hype Williams (with whom Nas has done several music videos). Most recently, he was the executive producer of the 2016 Netflix series The Get Down. Nas is also the co-founder of Mass Appeal Records.

Wu-Tang Clan and Nas: O2, London – Live Review

Wu-Tang Clan and Nas London, O2 June 12th 2023

Back in the UK for a co-headline show with fellow New York hip-hop legend Nas, the Wu-Tang Clan put on a relentlessly driving show on the last leg of their European tour which has everyone bouncing, including Tom Parry.

From the first thumping beat, the Wu-Tang Clan’s audience at The O2 was jumping feverishly. This shared headline gig with one of New York’s other hip-hop grand masters, Nas, was clearly eagerly anticipated by everyone in the cavernous arena inside the Millennium Dome.

There was no gentle build-up from the legendary rappers. They were straight into it, the flow and dexterity and interweaving rhymes in full effect from the moment they strutted casually onto the stage. Thirty years on from the release of their groundbreaking debut record Enter The Wu-Tang, the group that redefined hip-hop are not just going through the motions. They still sound aggressive, edgy and witty. Brags and cusses that would be cliched coming from other acts are tempered by the intelligence of the words.

While they might have become millionaire moguls since they started out, they have an unmistakable togetherness, which is not just for effect.  Hip-hop acts have sometimes struggled to keep the momentum for major headline shows like this one. But the staging for this NY State of Mind tour was compelling.

Behind the main stage was a full band, who made the Wu-Tang sound much fuller and more intricate, adding layers to the beats. Above were several huge screens on which films of New York street life and the band’s kung-fu favourites. These were complemented by smaller screens around the edge of the stage, and several more high above, giving the real sense that we were part of the city they and Nas portray in their many iconic numbers.

What kept it fresh throughout was the ever-rotating roster of rappers, who came and went freely throughout, ambling stage-right and leaving their microphones with a roadie for a few songs and then reappearing. Sometimes all nine Wu-Tang rappers were together, stepping forward for their part and then retreating for one of the others to take centre stage.

RZA, regarded as the de facto leader of the band, was most prominent, but they all had equal billing. Several of Raekwon and GZA’s solo songs were incorporated into the fluid set.

Another innovation was the way in which Nas’s two sets were slotted within the Wu-Tang’s three sets, thereby ensuring that the solo rapper was not perceived as the support act. Several members of the Wu-Tang Clan were on stage with him at various points. It was one glorious, loud, thrilling gig, which did not let up for a second. 

Sometimes arena gigs can be disappointingly clinical, and British politeness means those in seats feel awkward about standing up to dance. At this gig, every person around me was on their feet, hands in the air, dancing pretty much non-stop for the whole two and a half hours.

Gods of Rap tour: Wu-Tang Clan reign supreme as Public Enemy and De La Soul roll back the years

Over four unrelenting hours of hip-hop nostalgia ensured that this A-list show lived up to its almighty billing

Ever since it was announced earlier this year, the appeal of the Gods of Rap tour hasn’t waned in the slightest: a trio of the greatest-ever East Coast hip-hop acts – and Gang Starr’s DJ Premier on hosting duties, no less – all performing across four jam-packed hours in a venue that, for many, is a mere train ride away? You just had to be there.

The line-up for this all-star tour of rap veterans has brought together the mouth-watering forces of the Wu-Tang Clan , Public Enemy and De La Soul  for a run of UK and European dates this month, which kicked off tonight (May 10) at London’s SSE Wembley Arena. It’s up to De La Soul to open proceedings with the venue sadly only two-thirds full, but their enthusiastic efforts to get the party started do eventually pay off. “Where’s hip-hop tonight?” they ask those of us who’ve managed to make it through the arena’s snail-paced airport security set-up and then shaken off the temptation of a pre-show drink, before the trio continue their charm offensive by describing the expectant crowd as “truly great musical lovers”. Aw, you guys.

The group’s innovative debut album ‘3 Feet High and Rising’ turned 30 earlier this year, but that record forms part of an ongoing and rather miserable tale  that has prevented De La Soul from benefiting from the digital boom which has revolutionised the music industry over the past 15 years. Licensing troubles, protracted label beefs and increasingly stricter legal issues surrounding sampling have dogged the digital release of much of their discography for many years, with the group telling fans back in March that they believe  they’d only stand to receive 10% of any royalties from potential streaming and download sales of their music.  There’s been plenty of support, though, for De La Soul’s plight, and when someone in the crowd tonight proudly waves their precious vinyl copy of ‘3 Feet High and Rising’ at DLS rappers Trugoy and Pos, they both break into a reassured smile. Maybe one day, you hope, they’ll catch a break: you can just imagine the kind of huge streaming numbers that the effervescent ‘Me, Myself and I’, the highlight of their short set this evening, would rack up alone.

After Premier breaks up the interlude between acts with a fist-pumping throwback set which honours the likes of Phife Dogg , Mobb Deep’s Prodigy and the late Nipsey Hussle , it’s then time for Public Enemy – or, should we say, Public Enemy Radio – to hit the stage. Sadly with no Flavor Flav in tow, this iteration of one of hip-hop’s most influential and proudly outspoken groups intends to go back to basics by, as Chuck D explained in March,  “bringing it back to the foundation of hip-hop. One DJ, and some microphones!”

• READ MORE:  Public Enemy’s Chuck D: “When we first came to the UK, we wanted to spill blood on the stage”

Given an hour to do just that, the Public Enemy Radio experience therefore opts to maintain an admirable intensity throughout. Chuck D may be nearing his 60th birthday, but his stage presence is as commanding as ever as the signature fuck-em-all ferocity of ‘Don’t Believe The Hype and ‘Rebel Without A Pause’ winds the clock all the way back to 1988. Not that Chuck is stuck in the past, though: before proclaiming “ 2019! ” at the very start of ‘Fight The Power’ (yes, it has been a full three decades since the original was released), he’s out here blasting Donald Trump and declaring “fuck the fuck out of Brexit”.

Backed by the dexterous DJ Lord and accompanied by two of the group’s auxiliary S1W dancers, Chuck and fellow MC Jahi continue to turn it up with the always-stirring ‘Bring The Noise’ and the brilliantly polemical ‘Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos’. Their now-customary closer ‘Harder Than You Think’, the 2007 track which brought Public Enemy into the streaming age when it was used by Channel 4 for their 2012 Paralympics coverage, then triumphantly unites the now-packed arena as one.

It can’t be too easy following a performance like that, but, if there’s one group of certified Rap Gods who could pull off such a feat, it’s surely the Wu-Tang Clan. Continuing to celebrate the recent 25th anniversary of their seminal ‘Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)’ album, most of the collective – including Young Dirty Bastard, the son of the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard – are present and correct tonight, but it’s a little disappointing when it becomes clear that Method Man hasn’t signed up to be a part of this tour (he hinted at a few reasons behind his no-show on Twitter earlier this week).

Still, the chance to see the likes of RZA, GZA and Ghostface Killah on stage is always a privilege, and bearing witness to the Wu rattling through the essential likes of ‘Bring da Ruckus’, ‘Clan in da Front’ and ‘Da Mystery of Chessboxin’ never fails to disappoint. Along with a healthy supply of ’36 Chambers’ material, their 30-song setlist is strewn with Wu-related classics: we’re talking ‘Duel Of The Iron Mic’, ‘Reunited’, the glorious set-closer ‘Gravel Pit’ and, before that, a frenetic late burst of energy from Young Dirty Bastard as he dives into the crowd during a frantic rendition of his father’s ‘Shimmy Shimmy Ya’ and ‘Got Your Money’. The others look on, all grinning – maybe a full Sons of Wu-Tang band might be a good idea in the future after all?

“You’re looking at classic hip-hop right here,” RZA, who acts as chief conductor and bottle-sprayer throughout, tells us during one of the few brief pauses in the set. Hip-hop and rap may often feel like it’s hurtling further and further away from its roots, but special occasions like tonight give credence to the maxim that, sometimes, the old ones really are the best.

About Wu-Tang Clan

Founded in New York City’s Staten Island in the early 1990s, the Wu-Tang Clan is comprised of members RZA, GZA, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, U-God, Masta Killa, Inspectah Deck, Cappadonna, and the deceased Ol’ Dirty Bastard (ODB). Their name is a reference to a 1983 martial arts film. 

Led by the production of RZA, samples from martial arts films have thematically appeared throughout the group’s music, as have samples of classic funk and soul tracks from artists like Rick James, James Brown, and Syl Johnson. As a group, Wu-Tang Clan have three platinum albums among their eight LPs, and the group’s complete anthology (including solo albums) has more than 85 full-length releases. More than just rappers, Wu-Tang Clan are entrepreneurs and successful cultural influencers, with an empire that features everything from clothing lines and video games to books and acting credits.

Wu-Tang Clan on Tour Considered by many to be the greatest hip-hop group of all time, Wu-Tang Clan have been touring as a unit since their debut record — Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) — came out in 1993. The now triple-platinum release vaulted the New York City group with songs like “C.R.E.A.M.” (Cash Rules Everything Around Me) and “Protect Ya Neck” that are about as recognizable as anything in the rap canon. 

Their live sets are a family affair, with every member of the crew representing their lyrical contributions to the Wu’s eight studio albums, as well as notable cuts from the Wu-Tang solo discography. With the omnipresent Wu-Tang “W” flanking all angles of the stage, there’s a familiarity to Wu-Tang Clan’s music that gives their shows unique mass appeal. 

Whether they’re delivering the 36 Chambers record front to back on the album’s 25th Anniversary Tour, or tracks from GZA’s seminal Liquid Swords and Raekwon’s mafioso-minded Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…, or honoring the legacy of their departed brother, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, every Wu-Tang Clan show is a celebration of prolific careers as individuals and especially as the most storied group in hip-hop history.

About Nas Nas (Nasir Jones) first reached an international audience when his track “Halftime” was tapped by producer MC Serch as the opening cut on 1992’s  Zebrahead  movie soundtrack.  Signed to Columbia Records, the first full-length album by poet and rhyme-master Nas arrived in 1994,  Illmatic .  The RIAA platinum hip-hop landmark featured “It Ain’t Hard To Tell,” “The World Is Yours,” and “One.”  1996 brought the breakthrough double-platinum  It Was Written  (#1 R&B for 7 weeks, #1 pop for 4 weeks), with his first major crossover singles “Street Dreams” and “If I Ruled the World (Imagine That).” Success continued with the double-platinum  I Am  in 1999 (again #1 pop and #1 R&B), with the chart singles “Nas Is Like,” “Hate Me Now” (featuring Puff Daddy), and “You Won’t See Me Tonight” (featuring Aaliyah).

Subsequent albums by Nas included: the RIAA platinum  Nastradamus  (1999, #2 R&B, #7 pop, with “Nastradamus” and “You Owe Me,” featuring Ginuwine); the platinum  Stillmatic  (2001, #1 R&B, #5 pop, with “Got Ur Self A…,” “ “One Mic,” and “Rule”); the platinum  God’s Son  (2002, #1 R&B, with huge R&B/pop crossover hits “Made You Look” and “I Can”); and the platinum double-CD  Street’s Disciple  (2004, #2 R&B, #5 pop, with “Bridging the Gap” and “Just a Moment”).

The album earned a nomination for “Best Rap Album” at the upcoming 64th GRAMMY Awards. Most recently, Nas released a surprise album titled Magic featuring A$AP Rocky and DJ Premier.

In addition to his successful career in music, Nas has pursued a career in motion pictures that began with his co-starring role (alongside DMX) in 1998’s cult classic crime drama  Belly , a film by director Hype Williams (with whom Nas has done several music videos). Most recently, he was the executive producer of the 2016 Netflix series  The Get Down .

Nas is also the co-founder of Mass Appeal Records.

One of the most revolutionary hip-hop acts, Wu-Tang Clan helped prove rap to be an art form, establishing a hip-hop enterprise in the process whilst delivering their uncompromising, dark sound and hard-hitting, intelligent wordplay.

Wu-Tang Clan were the antidote to Dr. Dre's G-funk domination, offering a distinctly grimy, hardcore alternative to the West Coast sound with their 1993 debut, "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)." Formed in Staten Island, New York, US, the Clan developed into a sprawling collection of artists, rooted by RZA's musical direction and vision. Made up of roughly nine members, each artist delivered their own persona and style, with the crew being started by GZA and Ol' Dirty Bastard, soon expanding to include Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, U-God, Masta Killa, and Inspectah Deck.

Their debut release forged a new sound in hip-hop, through darkly funky soundscapes full of a sense of eerie, urban-dystopian menace which grounded their seamless, gritty vocal attack loaded with violent martial arts imagery. Achieving widespread critical acclaim and commercial success, Wu-Tang's sound became instantly recognizable which would go on to influence countless artists across genres subsequently.

Following their debut, the various artists embarked on a host of solo ventures, with five of the crew landing solo contracts on the strength of the single "C.R.E.A.M" alone. The may artists of Wu-Tang became household names, collaborating with many others in the industry and finding their new projects receiving the same success as their collective recordings.

In 1997, Wu-Tang Clan reunited together to work on their second album, the double-disc "Wu-Tang Forever," finding huge anticipation for the release. The album went straight to number one in the charts and sold over 600,000 copies in its first week. Wu-Tang Clan became a branded franchise, expanding its roster of artists to include new members and to aid young protégés gain their first exposure. The collective became a huge business, dominating the airwaves. Meanwhile, Ol'Dirty Bastard's behavior began to become erratic and a series of incidents in 1998 left the rapper incarcerated and in and out of rehab for drug addiction.

Following "Wu-Tang Forever," the many artists released further solo albums and projects, although they were unable to maintain such high levels of fervor around these releases, although they were still widely critically acclaimed. The Wu-Tang Clan project was perhaps spread too thin, with the vast number of ventures causing inconsistency and over-dilution. In 2000, the Clan returned with a new effort, "The W," which was a more focused offering, a release marred by Ol'Dirty Bastard's continuing erratic behavior that was quickly spiraling out of control.

It was only a year later that a new Wu-Tang release arrived, with their fourth record, "Iron Flag." Solo projects continued subsequently, with the next release for the collective only being the 2004 live album, "Disciples of the 36 Chambers." Sadly that same year, Ol' Dirty Bastard suffered a fatal heart attack, with this release being his last.

In 2007, new Clan material surfaced, with "8 Diagrams," which suffered from criticism from GZA and Raekwon about RZA's chosen direction. Another bout of solo albums followed before the 2011 compilation, "Legendary Weapons" was released. To huge anticipation, in 2013, a new studio album was announced, planned for 2013 to commemorate their 20th anniversary. However, the album did not appear until 2014, when it was finally released on Warner Bros., titled "A Better Tomorrow." Alongside this album, Wu-Tang Clan also made music history, after announcing their creation of "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin," a secret album that was only to have one copy pressed, to be sold to the highest bidder, likely to be housed in a museum, with RZA suggesting the music would not be available for another seven years. An artistic statement never before created in popular music.

Live reviews

With a breakthrough from the streets as rugged as their styles, New York City's Wu-Tang Clan emerged as the most revolutionary hip-hop group to enforce their eccentric prominence and establish the group's everlasting legacy. Brought together during the early 1990's, the Wu-Tang Clan adopted its name from the martial arts film 'Shaolin and Wu Tang'. The initial founder, member and producer of the group, referred to as RZA, describes the character's sword wielding technique as incredible and exquisite. Quickly inspired, RZA made the analogy between the sword and the tongue. Like the sword, the tongue speaks words as equally powerful and severe as the slice of a sword's blade. Thus brought the creation of the widely acknowledged Wu-Tang sword style. The assembly of the nine MCs known as RZA, GZA, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Inspectah Deck, Raekwon the Chef, U-God, Ghostface Killah and the Method Man, brought forth a team of fearless personas each as phenomenal and distinguished as the next. With a congregation of fearsome, lyrical warriors with distinct and eccentric rapping styles and techniques every member brought something new to the table.

With an accumulated group hungry with ambition, the album 'Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)' was produced and released in 1993. Regarded as one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time, it can truly live up to its status. Unlike many other hip-hop albums, '36 Chambers' surfaced as a magnificent masterpiece expressing the influence and creative force for which the Wu-Tang Clan is known and established for. With such an impressive development in producing '36 Chambers', the menacing and fierce approach taken into expressing Wu-Tang's fervor is widely evident in their stage performances. In the past, underground fanatics as well as devoted fans can be seen cheering, screaming, and going berserk in coherence with the groups live appearance and liveliness. Up to recent date Wu-Tang's performances resurfaces the vivid nostalgia to the hardcore enthusiasm felt when the initial impact of '36 Chambers' was made. Upon attending a present day performance, those present radiate a prideful gusto determined to pay homage to the legendary legacy that is immortalized as the Wu-Tang Clan.

Report as inappropriate

As a true Wu Tang fanatic since the age of 12, it was inevitable that I would eventually make it to a Wu Tang concert. Albeit wouldn't be until 2018 for their 25th year anniversary of 36 chambers tour, but alas, I made it! It was in Washington DC and it was an older crowd but the energy was alive and it was there. The whole clan was there, Young Dirty Bastard, ODB's son is now touring in his late father's place but delivers the same hype energy that only the Ole dirt dog could bring. Redman was an opening act, which was amazing. Although they had told us all while in the line that there would be no weed smoking or the perpetrators would be removed, as soon as "How to Roll a Blunt" came on all you could smell was that sweet cheeba cheeba. Security threw their hands up and said it's too many people smoking and just let us partake in the bonding that only Mary Jane can induce. The rest of the night was a smash. The group preformed the album in order and you could feel the nostalgia in the air as the audience rapped along to every word. Including me a white girl from Maryland who was finally living one of her teenage dreams and FINALLY seeing her favorite rap group of all time perform live. There was no disappointment, only pure unfiltered joy and love. Now if only I could have my dream of smoking a blunt with Method Man. Then I could die happy. That's always been something I've wanted to do since 13. I am now 40. Meth, what's the math? I am praying that I can go see this concert when they will play with another living legend, Nas. Yasss....I want those vip tickets and I NEED to be as close to the stage as possible, so my Boyz will see this chicken rap along to every single word. And I am hoping they will see my wutang tat that immortalized them as well as my bestfriend/brothafromanothamotha, who was an EVEN bigger WuTang fanatic than me!!!! If yall want a good show go see this!! And feel free to take me with you!!!!!

Wu-Tang Clan are an act that possess perhaps more confidence than any other performer I've seen live. Striding onto the Bestival stage under the summer sun, the R & B legends had drawn a massive crowd to the mainstage to catch their set.

Although their material is not as well known in the UK as it is in the States, the audience remained enthusiastic throughout. The group is a great festival act as they are fantastic at hyping up a crowd and building up the party atmosphere that is what the revellers have come for. Performing onstage rap battles with each and initiating everyone into the 'clan', they perform throughout.

The highlight is their biggest international hit 'Gravel Pit' which evokes cheers from the British crowd as they dance along with the hip hop heavyweights. As RZA and co command everyone to form 'W''s with their hands and wave along, the concert was never too serious but still a fantastic experience for a sunny Saturday afternoon. It fitted the Bestival mentality perfectly.

So, I don't usually purchase festival tickets.

Reason being that I'm fussy with music and paying a ridiculous amount for one or two acts I wanna see. But this year, Parklife, Wu Tang was one of the groups I wanted to see.

However, the beautiful faceless creatures at Songkick alerted me to the Afterlife event where I could catch the clan for a snipped of the price, so I went for it.

My oh my was it a night to remember.

Yes there were a couple of missing faces from the original lineup however the vibe was electric. These guys know just how to work a crowd. The air was quickly filled with suspicious smelling smoke, have-a-go rappers singing along and of course, like a Bat symbol above Gotham, the many hands of all colours, united in the symbolic W symbol. Respect was paid.

They tore through the classics like it was still the 90s, proving (as if more proof were needed), that Wu Tamg Clan ain't nuttin ta f**k wit!

As always Wu-Tang came out and dod their thing! Despite people complaining Meth wasn't there they still rock and I will still go to see them everytime they tour the UK! How ever, I will never go to Glasgow Apollo again the atmosphere was dull the sound system was awful and even Wu-tang had to keep stopping to tell them to deal with the speakers and the blinding lights with regulary glared in our direction. Some twisted fool stole my coat from the back of my wheelchair but even that didn't dampen my spirits! Wu-Tang forever but will skip Glasgow!

Seen Wu-Tang at Primavera in 2013. Wow, do they know how to get a crowd hyped. The crowd was cold, tired, and worn out but Wu-Tang turned that all around. They weren't about to keep playing until the crowd showed they really wanted it. They played every song you wanted to hear from Wu-Tang and made it better live. Rza even almost hit me with a champagne bottle he kicked off stage. Definitely an entertaining show, even if you only know the hits.

At the C-Halle we was scared because we was late and the concert changed the show to Arena Halle, in Berlin. But when we get the Arena the concert was not started yet. Everything was so beatifull, kick with the classics hit, even so underground like Slang Editorial, of Cappadonna. I just wish be there Method Man, Raekwon and RZA, buth the rest of the Clan made us fellin everything was ok and surrounding us.

It took forever for them to get on stage even after the 'warm up band'. It was very challenging to wait that long! (more than 2,5 hours overall!) The sound was a little too much for the small place and the security was very impatient with us to leave. They urged us immediately as the concert finished. I mean 5 more minutes wouldn't hurt anyone?!

The concert was alright but the rest? Not really!

I’ve been vibin’ with Wu-Tang since 1993 and it has been a dream of mine to see them live. Last night I finally had the chance and let me tell you, they did not disappoint! Sad to have missed Method Man, but I understand he has a project he is working on and couldn’t make it. ODBs son did a great job representing his father. It was an amazing show!

Vancouver show was disappointing would have liked to see inspectah deck and method man show was good but it could have been better not mad that they no showed but just disappointed don't really feel like i saw wu tang just got to see raekwon ghostface cappadonna u-god GZA RZA idk was pretty lack luster without method man and inspectah deck.

The single 'Scar Tissue', featuring Nas and lifted from the forthcoming album, has already been released. Despite being heavyweights in New York hip-hop for decades, both rappers have only collaborated on two songs previously before. 

They both featured on Raekwon’s 1995 album ‘Only Built 4 Cuban Linx...’ on the song ‘Verbal Intercourse.’ In October 2020, they both had verses on the track ‘The Mecca.’
