Wu-News 2001

March 12th, 2003: Ghostface Killah will be in Def Jam's new wrestling game, Def Jam Vendetta. It is being released by EABig so it should be pretty good.


July 28th: Ghostface Killah has signed with Def Jam and along with the deal he will have his own record label. He will be releasing a greatest hits album on October 21, 2002. Also, look for Sunz of Man's "Savior's Day" on Sept 3 and Gza/Genius on October 1.


Feb 10th: The Source Magazine decided to go back and re-review some albums and give them 5 mics. On that list includes 'Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)' and 'Only Built for Cubin Linx'.


November 27th: Here's some tentative info on the new Wu-Tang Clan LP, tentatively titled 'Black Flag'. NO word on production, but if we are lucky RZA will do ALL of it. Here's the track listing:
1. Pinky Ring
2. Back In The Game
3. Black Jungle
4. Ya'll Niggas
5. Rules
6. Babies
7. Perverts
8. Ya'll Been Warned
9. The Real
10. Reason
11. In Da Hood


November 9th: After giving Ghostface's new LP a few listens, I must say it is pretty tight. As far as a Wu release, it doesnt really fulfill those of us who have been with the Wu since 1993, but compared to the garbage that is out now, it is one of the best albums this year. My only complaint is the large amount of R&B sounds on it. Hottest joints are: Maxine, The Watch, Strawberry, Street Chemistry, etc.


November 3rd second update: Below is the track listing for Ghostface Killah's album. Coming November 20th?
1. Detroit Heavenly (The Sun) (w/ Raekwon, RZA & Slick Rick)
2. Never Be The Same Again (w/ Carl Thomas & Raekwon)
3. The Forest
4. Maxine
5. Teddy (skit)
6. The Watch (w/ Raekwon)
7. Ghostshowers
8. Flowers (w/ Raekwon, Method Man & Superb)
9. Walking Through The Darkness (w/ Tekitha)
10. I'm Biting Off Of You (w/ Ginuwine)
11. The Jucks (w/ Trife & Superb)
12. I Need Ya Honey (w/ Raekwon)
13. Jealousy (w/ Raekwon, RZA & Slick Rick)
14. Walk On By (w/ Issac Hayes)
15. Theodore Unit (w/ Raekwon, Trife & Twiz)


November 3rd: The Wu now have a new album supposedly in the works. Their first song off the new LP is titled "Pinky Ring" and is already on the net. The set release date is December 18th, but dont be suprised if that changes. Also, Ghostface Killah's 3rd LP is coming November 13th. Very high anticipation for this one. This will make him the only member to have a 3rd solo LP. I can't wait...
Previews for "How High" have hit the theaters and the movie is set to release in December.


August 8th: There is a great deal of new on the www.wu-tang.com site. To sum up here is what it says, but I suggest you check it out. It says that Rza is working on an album called 'The World According to RZA' which will be produced by Rza but will feature artists from around the globe. U-God is trying to release himself from Wu-Tang Productions, and Gza has signed his papers for release but is supposedly still part of the Clan. Both are working on new LPs. Method Man's album will be released early 2002. Meth is filming the video for "Party and Bullshit"


July 31st: Too Poetic of Gravediggaz passed away. Now, Gravediggz is officially one person. As far as the new album, Rza and Prince Paul were not part of the project. Ghostface's first single will drop in August.


July 9th: Raekwon will have a track on Sony's Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec for PS2. Rza has stated that he would like to do another Wu-Tang Clan album before the end of the year. Method Man states that it wont happen until the Wu can take care of some issues within the clan itself. Wu-Chronicles Vol. 2 is out now.


May 3rd: Remedy is now here. I must say I'm impressed with what I have heard from this boy. One track that stands out is "Education" f/ Rza. You should all check it out. Ghostface July 24th. Where is Killarmy!!?


April 9th: Ghostface's 3rd album has been pushed back to June 30, 2001.
The website WuWearStore is having a big clearence. All items are 40% off. Good time to get a nice Wu-Wear T-Shirt for a decent price. Check it out.
Remedy's album, 'The Genuine Article', is set to drop on April 17th.


March 27th: I have heard Cappadonna's LP and its pretty nice, although the first track is completely WACK. Other than that it's tight. Be sure to check it out. Comes next week.
Rza's "Digital Bullet" should be coming this summer, around July 3rd. Should be interesting. Also.. Tommy Boy will be re-releasing "Ooh I Love You Rakeem" on a compilation coming out on April 24th.


January 25th: Cappadonna has completed his next LP. Look for it on March 20, 2001. You can sample it at http://www.cappadonnafans.com/.


January 12: There is a date set for 'Cubin Linx 2: Bullet Proof Wallet'. It has been set for April 3rd. I've been hearing things about a possible end to the Wu-Tang Comic, but I dunno yet.
The 'Oz' Soundtrack is out, which features a track from the Wu. Also, look for some members to appear on the new Dj Clue 'The Professional: Part 2' album.
