People that follow me on Twitter (shameless plug) might already know how I caught myself singing Big’s hook to Puffy’s ‘Been Around The World’ when I heard Lisa Stansfield on the radio a few days ago. This got me suddenly reminiscing about the ‘No Way Out‘ album and the stupid reason I sold it years ago when I hadn’t yet become the level-headed fellow I now am. History is written down to let humanity learn from past mistakes so follow me after the jump for the top 5 stupid things I did as an adolescent HipHop head. Read the rest of this entry »

Ghost is literally ghost in the 2nd version of the “New Wu” video, but who needs Tony Starks when you can have Teyana Taylor in your video? If you’re like me and you dug the first “New Wu” video, proceed for an encore.

Apparently, some people don’t know the definition of the word “forever”, as in the phrase “Wu-tang forever”. And as it would turn out, Ludacris is not familiar with the idea that the Wu-tang Clan Ain’t Nothin’ to F with as evidenced by one of his song entitled Let’s Stay Together. Meth decided to speak up this week to straighten out some of the latest rumors.

“Even Ludacris, who I respect a lot, kind of upset me with a song he had where he mentioned Wu-Tang broke up. No, we didn’t break up! There has never been an official statement that said, ‘We’re done’ or ‘I’m out’. (Before a new group album), there’s things we’ve got to take care of first before anybody even starts to discuss that.” [Contact Music]

A moment of hilarity from Coffee & Cigarettes, featuring GZA, RZA, and the great Bill Murray.

Ever wondered what Wu-Tang Clan members would look like as NBA players? In this post, we’ll imagine various Wu clansmen as NBA ballers. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the starting lineup. (Warning: Please wait for the gifs to load to experience the full transformation.) Read the rest of this entry »

14 Deadly Secrets by RZA (Hosted by Tre the Boy Wonder and Derezon )
DJ Derezon & Tre the Boy Wonder, the duo behind DJ Premier’s 14 Deadly Secrets, chased down the RZA and convinced him to stop playing chess long enough to talk about music. As you probably know, 14 Deadly Secrets is a special session where legendary producers break down the stories behind 14 of their hits.

Method Man crashed Comic-Con 2008 the other day. Who knew he could be such a geek? In case you’re just returning from a trip overseas, Meth just released his own comic book titled Peerless Poe.

Naturally, there’s a good guy (Peerless Poe), a bad guy (Lilith), a love interest (Jeanne), and a super group of allies (the Method Men). I’d rather see a comic with all the Clansmen prominently featured, if you ask me, but this will do for now.

You may want to read about Method Man’s comic book over at Smoking Section. While you’re there, peep their dope interview with Meth.

Makes me want to bust out my copy of Liquid Swords.
Is there even any doubts that Liquid Swords was the illest rap album of 95?

Or should I say RZA feat. Wu-Tang - Heart Gently Weeps

Why didn’t they drop this 6 months ago when people still cared?

Wu-Tang weed carriers come in all shades and forms. Wu Latino is the latin hip-hop arm of the Clan. They’ll release their debut album, Wu Latino Presenta La Familia, on April 29.

Peep the tracklist:
