I have a faint recollection of Rza mentioning a new Killa Beez compilation in some interview recently. Either that or I’m just trippin’. Anyone out there can shed light? via V-D-B

As one of the godfathers of the golden age beat, Muggs’ catalog displays unusual diversity and openmindedness, unlike [...]

What happens when a movie studio has no money to promote a crappy movie? I’m in Colorado right now on the beginning leg of my 28 Days of Film adventure, but back home in San Francisco, the sidewalks around the city have been vandalized, apparently by 20th Century Fox. Curbed took a photo of one [...]

If you don’t know, kiddies, in the late ‘90s a few rappers—and even a country singer— dropped albums using alter egos they created. Noreaga was Melvin Flint (And it wack album, whoever you wanna credit it to), RZA became Bobby Digital (He had a few dope cuts on the album, but it wasn’t all [...]

This video is what happens when you put RZA, chess and 3 dorky geeks who like to rap into one giant mixing bowl! The legendary rapper and award winning chess-master decided to start wuchess.com — a website and give part of the proceeds to scholarships for needy kids. To promote the website, Wuchess and RZA [...]

Okay. So, who braved the shallow waters today and paid to see Babylon A.D., a Vin Diesel comeback movie repeatedly wedgied by its director, or Disaster Movie, a national disgrace released on the friggin’ anniversary of Hurricane Katrina that has the power to shutdown Slashfilm if it grosses over $20 million? Don’t worry readers, we will [...]

Billboard — Even in this post-Wu-glory-days era, GZA remains easily and unfairly overshadowed. He doesn’t have the odd indie appeal of Ghostface, the smoked-up rasp of Method Man or the RZA’s Hollywood résumé. But he does have five solo records to his credit now, and a purpose: “All I need is a beat,” he opens [...]

via URB It’s insightful to see RZA give his piece on politics yesterday in Denver. Nothing as refreshing to self as hearing such genuine answers in regards to something that affects us all. No candidate bashing, just an honest opinion on what he feels is necessary for the next few years of Presidential term(s). Access to [...]

Readers have welcomed my decision to eschew the NYT op-ed page in favor of RZA’s commentary on the election, but it turns out that the Wu-Tang Clan is a cabinet of all the wits. MTV reports that Raekwon has also been in Denver, although technically for a show rather than punditry… but wait: He wants Barack [...]

In kind of obvious but not really news, Muggs is/was sorely underrated. Retrospectively, and at the moment of first bong rip, the production on those first three Cypress Hill albums is black lights-out great. Also, I had completely forgotten that Rza and U-God pop up on “Killa Hill Niggas,” the latter turning in one his [...]
