It was a performance unlike anything they have done before. Wu-Tang delivered Las Vegas its style of gritty, unfiltered lyricism, suited for a landmark music residency.
“This is serious for us; you know what Wu-Tang means to hip-hop,” RZA stated. “And the footprints we’re trying to leave for the next generation and even for our current generation.” RZA claimed that even though hip-hop is 50 years old, it’s merely the base of the mountain.
“I think we’re taking this a little bit more seriously,” Masta Killa stated. “You know, not that we don’t take what we do seriously, but this is very unique to us. And you know, we’re not fooling with it.”
The ensemble allowed us to see behind the scenes as they sharpened their poetic swords before the big performance. Ghostface Killah said they have been around for 30 years, and it seems like the next step. “Yeah, this just goes with it, besides getting a star on the floor,” he replied.
Thirty years after their first album, “36 Chambers,” the legends are weighing in on why their music is still so relevant “When people see Wu-Tang, they see themselves, and they see it in their children,” Raekwon added.
“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,” stated Method Man. And they are proving above all that they are a family. “There’s no other way that I could have come this far without my brothers,” stated Cappadonna.
Ultimately, the group intends to leave a legacy that allows others to follow in their footsteps.
“For a lot more hip-hop acts to come through the door, that’s why we want to set a standard and make everything run smoothly, because once they let one in the door, there will be more of us behind,” said Method Man. They will be loyal to Wu-Tang forever.
“And that’s something that we strive to live by, to make sure that our art, our legacy, and the energy that we bring to hip-hop culture and to music culture are taken seriously; we want them to last beyond our years,” RZA stated.
