The Wu-Tang Guessing Game and “Executions in Autumn” | May 17, 2013 |
Nothing incites crisis quite like the favorite group of your teenage years slumping into middle-aged stasis. Have I ever mentioned that I love Wu-Tang? Maybe once or twice. I have learned more from Tony Starks than all teachers. Rae taught me to politick until I dittoed. GZA once explained the importance of water to me. […]
Homeless Swordsmen: The Wrecking Crew Presents: Wu Tang Pulp | September 4, 2012 |
When Zilla first told me about the concept behind Wu-Tang Pulp, I thought it was a terrible idea. The Wu canon is inviolate. There is no way to improve a song like “Bring the Pain” when Method Man raps as smooth and stellar as nutella. A banger like “Fish” is better than even pot-encrusted Branzino. […]
RZA & Boy Jones – Just Can’t Get Right | August 23, 2012 |
The RZARecteur: The Man with the Iron Fists | July 2, 2012 |
Chris Daly rents the Digi-Mobile when he’s on vacation. The real question isn’t “Did RZA actually make a kung fu movie starring himself, Lucy Liu and a pudgier than normal Russell Crowe?” The real question is “How did it take this long for the RZA to make a kung-fu movie?,” followed closely by “Why am […]
Pain brought and antidotes bandied about by Has-Lo, Curly Castro, and Ethel Cee, who is the greatest rapper to ever share a name with an I Love Lucy character. Word to Fab Five Freddy Mertz. Truthfully, I would prefer doses from Castro and Has too, who respectively lurk in the background and flip the classic […]
Fat Tape: April | May 2, 2012 |
Abe Beame takes on the conservative war on women. FAT TAPE: APRIL http://www.mediafire.com/?60fcsbxyw6gr2w2 Full disclosure: The majority of my month was spent listening to Pluto incessantly. Jeff would not let me post 15 Youtube links, so listen to Pluto. These are the nine songs I’ve cobbled together but have more or less skimmed in between […]
Castro, outside the window, selling la to the Darkman. Kung fu flicks. Brooklyn, you know. South Philly, you know. Monty Hall in the gallery. Zilla, stylish with bullet-proof confidence. Bad bitches and bad attitudes means mathematics has been studied. Vodka in the freezer. Todd Koppel looking nervous. Moms rocking Ghostface, not the Chef. Respect tape […]
Pelican briefs, Craig Ehlo, Lil Mac, the beat for Wu Banga, the ghosts of master killers, all channeled on the latest leak from the Wu Tang Pulp project. Some more strictly fam members only shit from the Wrecking Crew (Has-Lo, Zilla Rocca, Curly Castro), plus Boogieman Dela and David Little. Small Pro slices and dices […]
Red Dice Roll Triple Sixes: The Formation of Wu Block | August 4, 2011 |
The Wu Block single is notable for Starksologists because it validates the upbeat tone that Tony showcased two months ago in Soho. Admittedly, everyone in Lox is painting by inmate numbers here, but this is the most electrified that Ghost has sounded in years. No more Def Jam contractual obligation mode for now. I’m not […]
