Gza, Cappadonna, Superb... I don't know who's responsible for writing for Ghost of late, if its anyone else so I can't speculate for sure. Also shit I just saw the new thread.

Another accerbation to the group dynamic was that in recognizing people would get deals off of the strength of tangible Wu-Tang affiliation, Rza and Divine both became very very greedy and paranoid. There were people who would often have business independent of Wu-Tang who were either just from...

Well the reality is Killa's career was aborted really quickly too because Gza couldn't administrate him. Their personalities quickly clashed once the initial success concluded and Gza would instead emphasize Dreddy Kruger (who was, let's face it, even more of a duplicate of Gza than Killa had...

It really boils down to the battle between the public and the Diggs clan determining value. Deck was someone who on those earliest singles should have been made into a star. He was ready, he was of the present. Him and Meth were ideal projects but while Meth's debut was tampered with by...

Ran late. Basically the fundamental problem with Wu-Tang was that they weren't supposed to exist as a group. This story has been told and informed in many incarnations but it essentially goes like this: When Wu-Tang was organized it was initially dependant on the idea that their group...

I'm gonna get lunch and I'll do a Wu-Tang diatribe when I return. Should I put it in this thread or elsewhere?

Can't believe I had to be the person to post this vid.

Let's not rose tint the glasses too much. After all, Kano was in this crew so boring rappers have always thrived in London.

Me and you both

It wouldn't take fucking much.

Narratives are imposed based on the cultural designation of notes and sounds having semiotic relationships to perception. So in the western world tyhe minor keys on a piano constantly internalized by children as 'the sad keys'. The "Blues" scale, etc.

It's the masked kid from 67, LD, more likely. He's got that Man In The Iron Mask face and the super deep voice even though he's 26 or so, constantly delivers every line like he's preaching something of more value than shooting people. Everyone else goes for menacing snarls or whatever and it's...

I haven't bumped into it yet but I'm sure it's there, somewhere. I usually avoid responsibility for it by dodging around and coming to things through links out of one period to another, tricking myself through various little comprehensions. My current partner once remarked that she considered...

I mean he did get in one.

Rap's biggest problem is its never actually had one singular moment, despite the changing of the history to suit such. Def Jam was ultimately a non-existent movement consisting of friends who weren't on their label (Run DMC) who were actually considered retroactive and lackluster by the larger...

IDK if it'll happen. In all seriousness my graduate thesis was going to be about studying adolescent rap and its relationship with internet technology as a method of underground networking and call it "The Futuristic Manifesto" as a cheeky nod to that text but also to Calvin Johnson's idea of...

Not to the tri-state and Road Rap

Also everyone's a GOAT but nobody's a GOAT by themselves. Except for Tekashi, who's just bad and will never be good because he's never done anything that hasn't been done better by others. I'm basically of two minds when it comes to Flocka. On the one hand what he did was in fact a gigantic...

Actually let me double bless jic

Hang on, first I have to purify the thread b/c version fucked everything up
