What’s the hardest thing to do in rap? A hit record? Please, it seems that anyone with a cute gimmick can get one of those. Get a platinum album? Nope. Even with the decline in album sales, every year someone is bound to sell a million records. Get 5 Mics or win a Grammy? No [cont.]

While GZA has apparently been working on a behind-the-scenes documentary about the Wu-Tang Clan for several years now, aspiring indie filmmaker Jeremy Mack gets up close and personal with members of the group and it’s closest affiliates with his own film, Wu-Tang Saga. While the film seems to focus more on the second string members [cont.]

Yeah, this takes the cake for the freshest piece of hip-hop memorabilia we’ve ever seen. We’re not sure if we are supposed to believe that RZA painted this himself, but each print carries his handprints and signature. There are two versions of the print – the Legacy Series (30 x 40, limited to 300 pieces) [cont.]

Then, upon closer examination, you realize it’s not a new release from said artist, but something along the lines of A Bluegrass Jazz Tribute to Redman, with the word “Redman” in huge letters. [cont.]

The prospect of a new Wu-Tang album in 2007 doesn’t seem very exciting. Hip-Hop has changed so drastically over the years, and after a pair of disappointing, back-to-back releases (Iron Flag & The W), the Wu-Tang Clan have struggled to remain relevant in the constantly changing climate of hip-hop music. It’s safe to say that at [cont.]

Wu-Tang’s first effort from The W takes things back to the original 36 chambers with the curiously titled “Protect Ya Neck: The Jump Off”. Pretty simple formula here, using a “Tramp” bassline, along with some Cuban Link style guitars, while the clan runs it down the line. This should be an easy favorite for longtime [cont.]
