Rza, Gza, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, U-God, Masta Killa, Cappadonna, Method Man, and Young Dirty Bastard, (son of the late Old Dirty Bastard) are gearing up to give loyal fans one last glimpse of greatness from arguably one of the best groups in hip-hop history.
Wu-Tang Clan has taken us on a journey as solo artists and a collective. Each member is a master of their craft and style. They also spark one of the biggest questions asked in a barbershop setting. Which member is the best? For me, all of them have bars, and any one of them can spit with the best of them.
From their inception in 1992 to the release of their first album “36 Chambers”, Wu-Tang Clan has delivered hard-hitting rhymes. Rza’s gritty and raw tracks created a soundwave in New York and made its way around the globe.
After 33 years as a group, Wu-Tang Clan decided to do one last album and tour. The highly anticipated album will be titled “Black Samson, The Bastard Swordsman: Wu-Tang, The Saga Continues Collection”. Produced by Rza and Mathematics, the album is set for release on April 12th. It will contain features from Kurupt, Kool G. Rap, Benny the Butcher, Redman, and more.
Wu-Tang Clan members are not only successful as recording artists, but in television and business as well. Personally, this is one of my favorite hip-hop groups of all time, so it is bittersweet to see them bringing their greatness to an end as a group.
They say all good things must come to an end, so I want to say thank you Wu-Tang Clan for all the years of dope music, fashion, slang, and what you contributed to the hip-hop culture. You brought enlightenment to the 5 Percent Nation in your rhymes and educated a lot of misguided youth with your music to that movement.
Wu-Tang Clan coined the phrase “Chamber,” and explained that a chamber is something you go through to come out right and exact. Well, it is only fitting they are calling their tour the “Final Chamber”. They
They are letting fans know this is the last time you’ll get to see them as a group.
The only comfort I get is knowing I still get to listen to their timeless classics like “Cream” and “Protect Ya Neck,” as well as enjoy their solo careers.
Either way, the group has accumulated accolades, awards, and lifetime achievements to cement them as one of the best groups to ever do this thing we love called Hip-Hop. They will forever be a part of the fabric of rap music and I have a strong feeling they will be greatly missed as a group. Salute to you Wu-Tang Clan, it will always be Wu-Tang forever for me.
