Old News
1999
December 1st, 1999: "Born Again", the new LP from the late Notorious B.I.G. will be released next week and will feature Method Man and Redman on one track. I have a copy of the new joint and it is good, for what they had to work with. The song with Meth and Red is not really one of my favorites though. Also, Ghostface's LP "Supreme Clientele" has been pushed back to Jan 25, 2000. It features production from Mathematics, 4th July, Rza, and others. Hopefully Ghost will bless us with what we have been missing. It appears that Raekwon wants to release his "Cuban Linx 2" LP with Ghost in March. It will probably be pushed back, but if and when it comes lets hope that it fully represents Raekwon in the fashion that Cuban Linx did and not disappoint like "Immobilarity". Any ideas as to why Rae would rush back into the studio???? Maybe he doesn't like Immobilarity either. Finally, for all the video game fans out there. Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style has been released and seems to be getting goood ratings. Go check it out if you can. Rent it or something.
November 22nd: Small update to inform you comic book fans out there. The first issue of "The Nine Rings of Wu-Tang" is out now. It is an introduction to the story, basically telling about the different characters. Nice artwork... go check it out if you can.
November 21st: It appears that we can look forward to Wu-Tang album #3 to come out in June of 2000. The group is waiting for Ol' Dirty Bastard to finish his one year of rehab, which he has already successfully completed a few months of. Hopefully, Dirty will get out to record some sessions. We all know that the Wu take forever to release stuff, but maybe this coming Summer we'll have something new to look forward too. Also, they have said that it will have a number of producers... not much of a suprise.
November 16th: After a long wait Raekwon has finally released another solo LP. 'Immobilarity' is far from being what Cubin Linx was. Raekwon himself is very impressive with the lyrics and continues to improve. The problem with this album is the production. Some beats are nice, but many are just boring to listen to for 4 minutes. With appearances from Masta Killa, American Cream Team, and Method Man, some tracks are blessed with that Wu sound. I honestly dont understand why Rae could not even get one Rza produced track from the 21 track LP. I would give this joint a 3.5 out of 5. Check it out when you can. Peace... still waiting for Ghost!!!
November 2nd: It seems that I offended a few people by my comments about U-God's LP. After realizing that some people were actually feeling this... i figured I'd give U-God another chance. After listening to it a few more times... The LP is not a complete loss. I still believe that some of his vocals are very off and completly suck because he is talking about nothing, but as far as the album goes. It is a fair album if you want that Wu sound. I probably deservse a 3 out of 5, and no more than a 3.5. Also, anyone interested in getting the Wu-Tang comic and cannot find it in their home town, you may want to check out www.Ebay.com for someone auctioning the comic off.
peace.
October 26nd: The much talked about Wu-Tang Comic is now out. Titled, "Nine Rings of Wu-Tang." There seem to be some preview issues circulating. I am aware of 2. One has 2 swordsman on the cover and the other has a man on the cover holding a sword. I have read that the publications are 500 and 3500 copies respectively. I am also aware of the #0 comic which has a blue background and a Woman on the cover. Very nice. I am working on getting copies of these. I can tell you more later. Here are the Pictures:
October 23rd: Well, what can I say about U-God. He has got to be the worst member in the Wu. Lyrically, he just talks about bullshit through his entire LP. He could be put on a level with Cappadonna. Although, thanks to Mathematics and Rza his album is not complete trash. Beats on songs like "Turbulence" will probably be the only thing that make you keep playing this CD. I am extremely disappointed in U-God. I picked up a copy of the Source. They rated U-God's LP as a 3. But the big suprise was their rating of Ol' Dirty. They gave him a 4. Now see, I'm not the only one feeling that LP. Stick wit Dirty... don't play around with baby U. Speaking of Ol' Dirty, his web site, www.oldirtybastard.com, now includes a Real Audio interview and his new Video, "Got Your Money." I dont believe that Dirty is in the Video, but be sure to check it out. The biggest disapointment of the week is that Ghostface has been pushed back again, this time to Dec. 14. I dont care as long as he comes hard and shits on the competition. peace.
September 28th: So, If you dont know... Meth/Red LP is out. Much of the production is done by Erick Sermon, who is not my favorite. There are some RZA and Mathematics tracks. Ghostface also makes an apperance on the LP. From what I heard, it should be decent. I'll talk more about that later.
I am A little upset about all the disrespect given to Dirty's new LP. I think it has some fairly nice tracks. Although Sean D. over at THEDSC, states that there is hardly anything worth listening to on the LP, I think it is absolute DIRTY. The production is tight. With Neptunes, Rza and Buddah Monk. Dirty is Hilarious. If you take the album too seriously you may be disappointed, but if you want to hear Dirty. It's tight. If you haven't picked it up, be sure to get it. Finally, Ol' Dirty Will not be seen in the Gza's new video "Crash your Crew" because Elektra does not want him to appear since Dirty had problems showing up to his own video shoots. Go figure... peace.
September 11th: Well this week we get amazing rewards with the release of Ol' Dirty Bastard's and Inspectah Deck's new LPs this Tuesday, the 14th. Also, the 28th we can look for new Killah Priest and Method Man/Redman LPs. This is the Wu Month. It could be possible that we see Ghost come out, but i'm not sure about that. more to come... Peace.
August 22nd: September will be a Wu-month with 3 releases coming our way. On the 14th Inspectah Deck and Ol' Dirty Bastard will release their new LPs, 'Uncontrolled Substance' and 'Nigga Please', respectively. And of course, Method Man and Redman will come with their EP on the 28th of September. Also, check out the new Mobb Deep for a song with Raekwon called "Can't Fuck Wit."
August 10th: Updates have been slow, but i've been in school so I'm sorry. Well, It appears that Inspecktah Deck will be out in September, but chances are it will be a very long time. Also, look for Ol' Dirty's new LP "Nigga Please" out on August 24th, though that date might change since He has been put in jail. Everyone has adds and is working on albums, but you never know with the Wu. Also, it seems that they are ready to hit the studio again for the third LP. Redman and Method should have their LP, "America's Most Blunted" out September 24th.. THey are getting a good bit of air play out here. Genius is going on tour. HEre is the schedule:
August 14th... Washington, DC (9:30 Club)

Finally, for those of you who have not seen pics of the New Playstation game, Wu-Tang Fighting: Shaolin Style Click Here.
July 4th: Sorry about the delay in updates. Not too much going on. The Gza's LP is definitely hot but different from "Liquid Swords." Anyways... I've got a copy of Inspecktah Decks new LP "Uncontrolled Substance" and it is pretty nice. Takes you back to the old Wu-Tang Clan sound. Personally, I didn't like Deck so much, but after giving his new album a listen it's dope. Be sure to check it out whenever the hell it is released.
May 19th: Well if you are interested in the new Wu-Tang game for Playstation, it will be released in November and will feature 3 unreleased tracks. There are pictures of the game in various gaming magizines this month. Looks alright. I hope the game play is tight. Also, because Loud records still does not have a distributor, it looks like Mobb Deep and Inspecktah Deck will be delayed again.
April 20th: Alright, there seems to be a lot of good news today. First, Genius is in the studio working on his new LP titled, "Beneath the Surface." Look for Method Man, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Ghostface Killah,Masta Killah, Inspectah Deck, Killah Priest, and possibly Raekwon to apear on this album. The first video/single will come in May. It also seems that game developer Activision will be releasing a Wu-Tang fighting game called, Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style on Playstation. The game will also feature 3 new songs. That sounds like a killer combination. For those of you who picked up Wu-Syndicate today, you noticed an ad for a newe U-God album titled "Redemption", and a Shyheim LP titled "Man Child." The Wu-Syndicate stuff seems okay. I have only given it one listen, but I know the Mathematics tracks are tight. At least give it a listen if you haven't.
April 4th: Well, it seems that Loud records is no longer part of RCA and BMG is no longer their distributor. So, guess what... expect Inspectah Deck and Mobb Deep to be delayed again. Probably til May. Ain't that a bitch. As of now we can look for a new Raekwon LP titled "Immobiliarity State Of Grace, Vol. 1" and should be released in August. The Genius is back with his song titled "Publicity" which is a track produced by Mathematics that talks about Magizines. Very similar to "Labels." Look for his LP this fall. WIth other things, Rza has said that he is ready to make a new Wu-Tang Clan album. Wonder when his solo will come... never????
Mar 21st: This Tuesday be on the look out for "Wu-Chronicals" in your local music store. This appears to a best hits kind of thing with a few new tracks. Be sure to check it out.
Feb. 20th:Recently on MTV Inspectah Deck appeared and stated that his albume will be released on April 27th. That basically sucks for all of us who are waiting.... Along with other things, Ol Dirty was arrested again in California for wearing a bulletproof vest. He has paid bail and is once again
roaming the streets. Fans of the game Unreal can be on the look out for a downloadable Bobby Digital character that Atomic Pop, a modifing company of the game will have. This will be a free download. If you haven't heard it, be on hte look out for KRS-One's '5 Boroughs' which features Killah Priest and ohther
Jan 28th: Well now that GHost is in jail it seems that his album will be delayed until May 11th. I have read that the Wu are working on a sitcom similar to South Park or something like that. Also, Method Man will be on Jay-Z's Hard Knock Life tour.
Jan 19th: I read in the latest issue of VIBE that the Wu members are temporarily doing their own thing. Rza stated that they agreed to do their own projects because they are more mature now then they were when they started. THe plan for them is to get back together in 2000. HOpefully that wil bring a very good full length Wu-Tang Clan LP. Also Rza has stated that Wu-Tang Records is official with John "Mook" Gibbons as the president. Look for eleven LPs from Wu members this year. Rza feels that if Master P can do it so can he. Watch out for Rza "The Cure" which features Rage Against the Machine and other Wu members of course, Raekwon, Ghostface (which is pushed back due to Ghost being in jail), Ol Dirty, Wu-Syndicate, Inspectah Deck, and solo LPs from members of Killarmy and Sunz of Man.
Jan. 10th: Well for the new year there are hopes of many solo projects. From Ghost, Rae, Dirt, Rza, maybe Gza, INS, and some members of Killarmy. Hopefully this year will be much better than last. I think that if the wu continues as they are and Rza doesn't produce the LPs then the Wu will be gone by 2000. Lets face it, Wu-Tang is in Rza and now Rza is pursuing other things and isn't working souly on Wu projects. Rza even has about 3 film appearances this year. ANyways... Ghost face killah now has a web site at www.ghostfacekillah.com . Be sure to check it out. When something interesting happens... I'll let you all know! Peace.
1998
December 7th, 1998: Method Man should be prowd after selling 410,000 copies of Tical 2000 in its first week. Which means I'm sure its gone Gold and is probably not too far from Platinum. MTV reports that Method Man will be touring around the country with Redman to record stores. You can look for them in the following citys over the next month.: Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York, Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Francisco, Richmond, Atlanta, and Washington, D.C. I believe that Meth will be having a release party soon in Baltimore, though i'm not sure where.. sorry.
November 25th: Finally, after so many years Rza has hit us with a notable Wu album. I really feel that Bobby Digital is a classic Wu LP. It is definitly better than Meth... but I am unsure about Meth. Sometimes it's annoying others its butter. I dunno.... Bobby will keep me holding on. But remember.. When "The Cure" comes out... I think Wu-TAng will be OVER. Rza said that is the end of his mission. Think about it.
November 23rd: ALright... it seems that Dirty's people have contacted Madonna about doing a song, but no confirmation has been made. Also, Dirty has changed the title to his LP once again. IT is now: "God Made Dirt and Dirt Don't Hurt." Peace.
November 17th: Finally after 4 years, Method Man comes back with a very strong follow up to the classic Tical. No doubt Meth has matured. His rhymes flow like no other. After listening to Tical 2000, I think it is a very nice LP, but i does have its weak stops. Some tracks such as Retro Godfather and Spazzola don't sound like they fit well with the rest of the album tracks. I may feel differently after hearing it a few times but right now that's my feeling. Meth is definitly something to run out and get. He's got a 4 out of 5 on my scale. Look out for Bobby Digital next week.
November 10th: It seems that Ol' Dirty is in trouble again. MTV reports that he was arrested last Thursday for threatening his ex-girlfriend. Here is what MTVs report says:
Ol' Dirty Bastard Arrested On Threat Charges Again
Ol' Dirty Bastard has been arrested yet again for making
terrorist threats.
The Wu-Tang Clan rapper, who also goes by the names Big
Baby Jesus and Russell Jones, was arrested and booked on
Thursday at 1 p.m. in Carson, California. Sheriff's deputies
apprehended Dirty after his 27-year-old ex-girlfriend and
mother of his one-year old child reported on Monday that he
had allegedly threatened to kill her. On Thursday afternoon,
she called police once again to tell them that he was en route to
her job location. According to police reports, Dirty was
apprehended while attempting to climb over the security gate
to enter her job site.
After being booked, the rapper was then transferred to the
Twin Towers Correctional Facility because of his notoriety and
increased bail, which is set at $500,000 instead of the standard
$50,000. As previously reported by MTV News, Dirty has
another on-going case involving a previous terrorist threat
charge. He is expected to appear in Beverly Hills Municipal
Court on November 17 for allegedly threatening to shoot the
West Hollywood House of Blues security staff after being
ejected from the club in September (see "Ol' Dirty Bastard
Out On Bail After Hollywood Club Arrest" ). He also
faces shoplifting charges in Virginia Beach, Virginia over a $50
pair of Nike sneakers.
A spokesperson at Twin Towers says that Dirty's bail has been
posted, but that he has not yet been released as of Friday
afternoon. The spokesperson adds that he could be held for up
to 72 hours before being released.
A spokesperson at Dirty's label, Elektra Records, had no
comment at press time.
November 4th: For those of you that still have not run out to the stores to pick up La The Darkman, you are missing a bombing addition to the WU-Saga. With Wu-Veterans such as Ghostface, Raekwon, U-God, and Masta Killa, and others like Killa Sin, Tekitha, and DJ Rogers, this LP has some strong highlights. La comes very strong on every track. My favorite right now is "Shine." I think this could be one of the best Wu affiliated LPs this year. I think La is worth a 4 out of 5, so go out and peep it. Also, be sure to check out Method Man in 'Belly.' Hype Williams gives many visual effects to mess with your head as you get into the minds of Tommy (DMX) and Nas' character. So, check all that out.
October 26th: Here are the track listings for Meth's new album and Rza's Bobby Digital in Stereo:
'T2000: Judgement Day'
Torture

Rza's Bobby Digital will also feature Sunz, Meth, Dirty, Killarmy, Ghost, and Masta Killa. Also, be sure to check out the 'Belly' soundtrack next week which will feature 3 Wu joints.
October 25th: Now you can look for 2 releases on NOv 24th from Geestreet Records. Looks like Bobby Digital and a Gravediggaz release will both come out on the 24th.
October 22nd: MTV has reported that Method Man was arrested in Memphis at their Sport's and Music festival. Apparently Method Man was signing autographs and ended up in the street signing autographs for the cars passing by. When the police arrived they pepper sprayed him in the face and charged Meth with obstructing traffic and resisting arrest. I guess it's too bad for Meth.
October 12th: Sean D. at the DSC has reported that Deadly Venoms have released a 4 track promo to several music stores. The current date for a release is OCtober 20th. That would make 3 Wu-related releases NEXT WEEK. La the Darkman, Buddha Monk, and Deadly Venoms. Also.... there is a rumor going around that Rza will NOT be producing his own solo project. This could be a real disappointment in my oppinion. I hope it is not true. Playstation Magizine has stated that Mobb Deep and Wu-Tang Clan will be a part of EAs NBA Live '99.
October 8th: This small update is about Method Man's new album... which has been pushed back yet another week to November 17th. You can look for Chris Rock to appear on the LP and there will be a track produced by Erick Sermon. Meth will also appear on the new Heltah Skeltah LP "Magnum Force." Also, be sure to check the latest Wu appearences on Kurupt's and Shaq's new LPs. Peace.
October 6th: I have just read some interesting news which happily reports that there are 7 solo releases planned from the Wu from now to Feb. 1999. The only solo joints that you won't be able to look for are from Masta Killa and Genius/Gza. With all of these records to be released, Rza has said that he will not contribute to the records as he had in the past, stating that he felt everyone in the clan has matured. He does not want to continue to work on the style he invented, but he wants to invent a new style. This new style will be brought out in Bobby Digital. I have heard "Now I See Everything" f/ Method Man and if it is any indication what Bobby Digital is going to bring us the s--- is gonna be TIGHT. Some other news.... On October 20th a company called Xenon will release the following Wu-Tang films:
Faster Blades Poisonous
Godz Of Wu-Tang
Hell'z Windstaff
Invincible Armor
Iron Man
Killer Priest
Ol' Dirty Kung Fu
Shaolin & Wu-Tang 2
Son Of Wu-Tang
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Swordsmen
Just thought some might want to know.....
September 16th: Rza is repotedly in the studio working on his solo album, which is now said to be called The Cure.
September 15th: Nothing much to say today.... for those of you who missed the MTV Music Video awards, you missed a very drunk Ol' Dirty on stage singing Ghetto Superstar. He came on stage with a beer in one hand and a mic on the other, and towards the end Pras had to pull him away from the front of the stage because the explosives and spark effects were ready to go off. Then, as everyone left stage Dirty just sat stood there drunk off his ass. Really a pathetic site. But we all love DIRTY!!!! Also today the Rush Hour soundtrack is released which features a song from Wu-Tang Clan. I will give my review of the song later this week. that's all.
August 31st: Today's topic is Rza. He is currently working on his movie 'Bobby Digital' which he wrote, stars in, and directs. He is basically like a superhero in the movie and that is really all i can tell you at this point. The movie is due out in stores Jan 1999, and the soundtrack 'Bobby Digital In Stereo' will be released in December. Also, 'Bobby Digital In Stereo' will not be his solo release. He still has plans to release the long awaited solo LP in 1999. Masta Killa's LP is finished so be on the look out for a date. Anyone that has any info please e-mail me. I haven't heard any of his music, but his web site www.mastakilla.com is selling his first single. I ordered the single back in June and i still have not recieved it so I do not advise sending too much money to them at this time. That's all i have to say for today. Peace.
August 25th: Xzibit's new album "40 Dayz & 40 Nightz" was released today featuring the song with Method Man called 'Pussy Pop.' A fairly nice song... the CD is good and it is enhanced so i suggest you check it out.
August 22nd: Small update about the Rza's solo album. It will be called 'Bobby Digital in Stereo' and is supposed to be the soundtrack to a movie he has written called none other then... Bobby Digital. That is all I know for now...
August 11th: Today I picked up the New Killarmy "Dirty Weaponary" at my local music store. My first thoughts about listening to it were would it be better then the first... cuz the first had some downsides. This time it's all good. I have listened to most of it and it is a real improvement. Many uptempo tracks and the opening track "Galactics" produced by Allah Mathematics really sets the mood for the CD. I am interested in hearing more production from him. As always, you really need to pick up your own copy and listen to is. I also got Funkmaster Flex Vol. 3, the song from Wu-Tang Clan on there is just banging. "Put Your Hammer Down" features Gza, Method Man, U-God, Ghostface, and some other Wu members. If you got the $$ pick up both.
August 6th: Small update... It seems that Ol Dirty Bastard is trying to start his own record label called, Osirus Entertainment. His first release will be from a group called Dirty Rotten Underground Grimmies (DRUG). The grup consist of 4 members: Ol' Dirty, 12 O' clock, Masta Foul, and Papa Cheif. In other news... be sure to check out the New Funkmaster Flex Mixtape release out next week.. August 11th. It will feature some new members to the Wu family and some old, such as Raekwon.
July 21st: Okay... after listening to both Sunz of Man and The Swarm... i feel that both are very nice editions to the Wu Discography. The long awaited Sunz of Man album is very pleasing... I am not disappointed at all. the Swarm brings in some new groups to the Wu family and has some very nice tracks all produced by the RZA!!!! So basically check them both out... you will not be disappointed.
July 5th: Okay.... Ol Dirty has checked out of the hospital after being shot twice. It has been rumored that a new Killarmy album will be released on August 11th. Be on the look out... I do believe that this date will change though. The new Rza compilation should be dropping on July 21st. The whole compilation will be produced by the Rza which is definitly what all us Wu fans want... am I right? Anyways... here is the track listing:

The suspects ran in an stole his money and his jewlery. There are no suspects at this time. In other news... it is reported that Shyheim's third LP "Me Vida Loca" will be released in August.

July 23...Seattle, Washington
July 24...Portland, Oregon
July 26...San Francisco, California
July 28...West Hollywood, California

One Last thing that I have to tell all the Wu fans out there. You can look for the new Redman/Method Man song called "How High Part II" on the Survival Of the Illest Vol. 3 which will be packed in with the first 50,000 Def Squad CDs. I may get that album just for the Method MAn/ Redman song... we'll see.
June 20th: The Sunz of Man album has been pushed back once again because the have changed distributors. The origional distributor was only going to release the new album in the US but now that they have another distributor, the album will be released world wide. So there is a small advantage to having the date pushed back 3 weeks to July 21st.
June 13: It has been announced that the Wu will be going on a summer tour which will start later this season. The Rza reportedly has his own site at www.bobbydigital.com . Also there is word of a new Cappadonna album circulating around the street, but i don't have that many details. I'll get more details later.
May 29: First of all I'd like to say sorry for how long it took me to update. My computer crashed so it takes me a while to get to update my page. Aways.. to the news. Inspectah Deck is expected to release a his long awaited solo album in August. The title has been changed to 'Uncontrolled Substance.' It is said to be a retro type album in hip-hop. Also, the Sunz of Man album can be expected out on June 30th and should be a tight joint. the title is 'Sunz of Man: The Last Shall Be the First.' Here's a tentative track listing:
1. Intro
2. Cold
3. Natural High

May 17: Well the Wu are in trouble with the law once again. More details on that later. Also.. you can look for OLB to appear on R Kelly's next album "VIP." I've heard Jayo Felony's new song w/ Method Man and DMX, and the ssong is tight. Be sure to check it out. More releases have been showing up, such as a single from the group Venom, a single from Shabazz the Disiple, and an Undergroud track from Killer Priest. Stay posted.
April 29: To finalize things for the month there isn't really too much news except for Ol' Dirty's appearence on Vibe earlier this week. He was on with Wyclef performing "Ghetto Superstar when after his performance he announced his new name. Ol' Dirty said his new name was 'Big Baby Jesus.' Who knows what Dirty has been smoking, but he said he was serious... we'll see what happens next.
April 27: Not much news to report today except that Cappadonna was on a local radio show today and I thought i'd inform you to what he had to say. He basically talked a little about his album. He stated that the music he usually listens to is Wu, Earth, Wind, & Fire, The Spinners, and Marvin Gaye. HE described his album The Pillage as being his "Greatest contribution." He said that The Pillage represents the things you do before you get where youre going. "The crawl before you walk," and studying before a test." To end things he basically said "Proper Education Always Corrects Errors (P.E.A.C.E.)."
April 20: Well, there isn't much news to report but this is what i have. Everyone should look for the official release of Sunz Of Man in June. After 2 years of waiting we can finally hear what they have... Also, I was watching BET the other day and saw a video which featured Cappadonna and the group was called (Deadly) Venom. It seems that they may have some Wu-Tang affiliation but at this time i do not know. The group consist of 4 females, who seem to have decent rapping skills. Another thing was that the group is on Protect Ya Neck Records, so if anyone has any info on the group called Venom, let me know.
April 7: It seems that many Wu members will be appearing on other peoples albums. To start off, Inspectah Deck will be appearing on Big Punishers album and is currently on Gang Starrs new album, 'Moment of Truth.' Raekwon has recorded a song for Fat Joe's new album called "John Blaze." MAsta Killah will be doing a song with Public Enemy for their new album dur for release on April 24. Rza will be doing the title track for Rass Kass's new album, so look out for that! Finally, you can start to look for a new Sunz of Man album to start appearing on music stations. The video is called "Shining Star" and will feature Earth, Wind, & Fire and Ol' Dirty.
Mar 30: On a non Wu note, you may want to check out Canibus's album which comes out this week. Soon to come out will be the Bulworth Soundtrack, which will feature songs by Rza, Cappadonna, and apperences from Ol' Dirty and Method Man. The Masta Killa website is up and running now. Not much on there at the current time, but it seems like it will be a nice site. It uses the same kind of setup as the Cappadonna website. Soon there will be a Meth site, Ghost site, and Raekwon site, so be on the look out. Also, i've heard that Wu-Tang may be working with Earth, Wind & Fire. Ol' Dirty also stated that he was starting his own line of clothing called My Dirty Wear. Just something extra for you to know.
Mar 3: Once again Ol' Dirty Bastard is in the news after his appearence on the Grammy Awards. He ran on stage and said that "Puff Daddy is okay, but Wu-Tang is the greatest." He also talked about how Wu-Tang was for the children and how he was mad that he went out and bought a suit becuz he thought Wu would win best rap album. Ol' Dirty was also in the news for saving a little girls life. The young girl was hit by a car and he came and helped her by lifting the car off of her. Remember to look for Killah Priest next Tuesday.
Feb 25: Ol' Dirty has been quoted as saying that he will have an album out later this year(in 3-6 months) along with Raekwon, Rza, Mehtod Man(sometime in June), Inspectah deck, and also that the Blunted Soul compilation is expected this year. Ol' Dirty also said that he wanted to do an album different from his last with an alternative style.
Feb 21: Ol' Dirty will be doing a song with Mack 10 for Mack 10's new album called "The Recipe." Also, Killer Priest has been getting a lot of air play and been on some UK radio. I think his album will be a tight addition to the Wu saga. Should be out March 10th. Also, Gravediggaz have released an Enhanced CD single of 'Unexplained.' the CD contains two videos on it.
Jan. 11: Well... Ghostface Killer is out of Jail finally. He spent about 3 weeks in jail because of his charges. He is set to go to court, but now he is out of jail and getting ready to work on a new album. Look for Cappadonna to drop his album on Feb. 17, and Killer Priest is supposed to drop his album the following week. So, watch out for the both of them. I personally think Cappadonna is gonna be a tight album. I guess if you liked Raekwon's and Ghost's albums you'll like it.
December 11: Sorry about the long wait. To start off, Wu-Tang Clan was named best group by the Source Magizine!!! On another note, Ghostface Killah has been arrested on gun charges and for wearing a bullet proof vest. The police found a 357 magnum. My source of this info is The DSC - wu-tang.simplenet.com ---. Cappadonna's new album, titled The Pillage, should be out in very early January. I was able to obtain a copy of the O.D.B.E.P. and it's pretty nice. Nothing new, but the re-mixes and instumentals are bangin. Also, Method Man will be appearing on a Def Jam show on BET Sat. December 13. It should be phat. Don't miss it.
Nov. 16: Method Man is facing assult charges. On a good note, there is an add in the December issue of The Source Magizine which says that Tical 2: Judgement Day will be out on Dec. 16. That date will probably change. Also, the Wu-Tang Forever album has gone Triple Platinum.
Oct. 5: The Wu-Tang Clan are getting ready to start a new tour with some other artist and will make an apperence in Maryland. Also the new Gravediggas album is expected later this month!
Sept. 21: The Wu-Tang Website(www.wu-tang.com) is now about to start up again, so be prepared.
Sept. 10: The Wu have left the concert because of a difficulty getting everyone at the concerts at the same time. MTV has also reported that they have gotten into some problems with their promoter at Loud records and that some Wu affiliated members beat him up.
