Wu Tang Clan

Im going to the Wu Tang 'ODB memorial' show in Baltimore Feb12...8 living members and a couple opning acts (Cappadonna and Street Life&Mathematics).

 

Anyone here know what to expect from an evening of entertainment such as this?

[Cran Da Maniac 0]

I thought Cappadonna and the Wu had some beef going on. Guess they patched things up.

 

 

You got anymore info about this show?

[snuffbox 0]

http://www.sonarlounge.com has a poster for the show. I dont have any info to add...

I'm so tempted to go the show in D.C. It's either the night before or after the one at Sonar. I don't know that I can justify $50 on them, though.

You are going to pass up on the opportunity to run around screaming either "WU~!" or "WU TANG~!"?

[Edwin MacPhisto 0]

I do that in my living room for free, though.

But this time you will be part of a group. Socialize.

I saw the tsonglist for the dvd of their SanDiego show a few years ago had like 35 tracks...will they play about this much on the upcoming tour?

Sonar really sucks. I wen to a Talin Kwali concert there last year. It was like a scene from 8 Mile.

Angsty white rap?

Talin Kwali?

Was Mas Dif there too?

 

Seriously though, you should go. I've been to some Wu-tang concerts before, they're usually dope. Plus they have so many bangers in their catalogue (Solo and group) that you're guaranteed atleast 5 classics a night, at the bare minimum.

How much is the Sonar show? If it's reasonable I might go. I fuck with Wu Tang. I'm just a little leery of Sonar. that place is a hole in the ground.

...or going to D.C. Seriously, if Killa Cam isn't safe there, who is?!

One of the best things about going to the 9:30 Club (when you're coming into D.C. from the south) is that, as you head west down 7th Street, the neighborhood gets exponentially more threatening with each block. Totally fun, and there's the biggest Popeye's I've ever seen there, too.

Unfortunately, ODB was the most entertaining aspect.

Yeah I was in that neightborhood during a DC vacation, I was going to a Wizards game and I was looking for somewhere to eat and each street got more and more shifty looking. I was like "Hmm I should head back now..."

Do they do any songs from the various solo projects live?

[Jorge Gorgeous 0]

I was hoping there would be only one post in this thread, and that it would say "Aint nothin' to fuck with."

Oh I completely agree, that's why "The W" and "Iron Flag" were ass, little to no ODB.

[nl5xsk1 0]

ODB's solo stuff was pretty painful to sit through, though. Brooklyn Zoo wasn't too bad, but N**ga Please? Ugh, just painful.

 

I liked ODB as part of the whole, when he could drop a few lines and then disappear again ... not as the entirety of the project.

[Black Lushus 0]

oh definently...Brooklyn Zoo was strong because it wasn't exactly a solo effort...the thing is, whenever you listen to a Wu Tang album and say "I dunno, I can't put my finger on it but this seems to be missing something", ODB is what it's missing.

[Edwin MacPhisto 0]

Do they do any songs from the various solo projects live?

Lots. My understanding is that they basically just roll through tons of their verses, often not doing a whole song. That's how the Disciples of the 36 Chambers live album ended up with something like 30 tracks. If they all show up, that is.

[Black Lushus 0]

I saw them here (all of them, except for ODB or course), a few years back...you described it perfectly, edwin...what I found strange is that during all the advertising on both posters and radio spots, they kept making it a point to let us know that Method Man would be there as well...was there something going on with him?

[Edwin MacPhisto 0]

I dunno. He's always been the most commercially successful/visible guy in the group, so maybe the promoters were just trying to reel in a few more people. Or maybe people were worried he'd be off shilling deodorant with Redman.

They are holding a show in Philly at the Electric Factory that I'm debating on going to or not. Depends if I can get some more damn spending money together.

[Nighthawk 0]

"Gravel Pit" was one of my favorite Wu songs, though. And is in fact my favorite Wu video.

[snuffbox 0]

CREAM is my fave WU Tang song...but I prefer solo Ghostface stuff, personally.

[SpikeFayeJettEdBebop 0]

I'm thinking about going to the show in Baltimore or D.C. Not positive if I'll go, but it sounds good, so I'm seriously considering it.

[AboveAverage484 0]

I'm gonna hit up the GZA show when he comes to Asheville next month. 15 bucks is a steal.

 

Anybody heard his new album with DJ Muggs? A friend's gonna burn it for me, just wanted to hear some opinions on it from you other Wu-fans.
