Thirty years after their first album, the hip-hop legends are weighing in on why their music is still so relevant.
From the streets of Staten Island to the bright lights of Sin City, the Wu-Tang clan made history this month when they hit the stage at The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.It was a performance unlike anything they have done before. Wu-Tang gave Las Vegas their brand of gritty, unfiltered rhymes, fit for a historic music residency.
"This is serious for us, you know you think about what Wu-Tang means to hip-hop," RZA said. "And the footprints we're trying to leave for the next generation and even for our current generation.""I think we're taking this a little bit more serious," Masta Killa said. "You know, not that we don't take what we do serious, but this is truly special to us. And you know, we're not playing with it.
The group invited us behind the scenes as they sharpened their lyrical swords before the big performance."Yeah, this just goes with it, besides getting a star on the floor," he said. Thirty years after their first album, "36 Chambers," the legends are weighing in on why their music is still so relevant."Like to be a rapper is one thing, to have a record out is another thing, but then to be Wu-Tang Clan, part of this machine," said Inspectah Deck.
"Cause we do get love outside of the Clan, you know, as individuals, but when we're together, so much more," said Method Man."There's no other way that I could have come this far without my brothers," said Cappadonna."For a lot more hip hop acts to come through the door, that's why we want to set a standard, make everything run smoothly, because once they let one in the door - there will be more of us behind," said Method Man.
