Best of all it made me enjoy and appreciate hip-hop even more then I already did. Through inventing and living out their own mythic narrative, they attain through art a freedom that is otherwise — the freedom to name themselves. Other Editions 5. Een nieuw geluid, een eigen subuniversum. David E Weir rated it really liked it May 10, En wat had dit alles in vredesnaam te maken met deze negen zwarte jongens die voor hun 25ste allemaal al met justitie in aanraking waren gekomen en daar in versluierde vorm ook over rapten? Good Grief. Arguably one of the all time greatest albums broken down into microscopic detail. Other interesting parts were some of the broader musical history, the detailed looks into music sampling, and commentary on race, drugs, and criminal justice. There's an organic old-soul crackle to the incendiary trumpet-bursts on "Sound the Horns" or the slow-rolling bassline on "Ill Figures", but that warmth is the sort of warmth that the better East Coast producers can get out of old records. Gives great insight, not only into the making of the great debut-album of the Wu-Tang Clan, but also into the American society and the way non-whites percieve it. Welcome back. How We Met. See details. A decade on, it's oddly comforting that a label would aim for your Wu-Tang consumer dollar even when that dollar barely exists anymore. Books by Will Ashon. An easy, absorbing read. Some of it just becomes unintelligibly bizarre. It is a great mix of sociological, historical, anthropological and musical information. En hij had de negen groepsleden verzameld: familieleden, jeugdvrienden, kennissen, a Binnen de hiphopwereld is er geen groep zo mysterieus als de Wu- Tang Clan. A beautiful and intricate book that tempers a passionate dissection with whimsy and biography, ranging from the minutiae of sampling to universal truths. New York hip-hop legends the Wu-Tang Clan, whose seminal debut album is the subject of a new book. Zeker de ontstaansgeschiedenis van het inmiddels klassieke debuutalbum Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers is omgeven door rafelrandjes en vraagtekens, meer dan eens overigens door het rapcollectief zelf de wereld in geholpen.

Cormega remains one of the only rappers who can get away with a line about "lyrical elevation causes mental stimulation" because he throws that in the middle of a verse so jammed with internal rhymes and left turns "this is a lyrical aqueduct"?

Martial arts mayhem, Shaolin philosophy, a tribe of masked hip hop warriors emerging from the mist of Staten Island, a Funkadelic-Parliament collective sprawling through the music industry in the age of black mass incarceration : the Wu-Tang Clan were all these things, immediately. This might be one of my favorite takes on Wu-Tang and one of my favorite books on hip hop I have ever read. Zelfs de trouwste fans hebben nog niet alle lagen doorgrond. Waar stonden al die — vaak onbegrijpelijke — aliassen voor die de groepsleden aannamen?

The Wu-Tang, with their Thelonious Monk samples, supple and fragmented musical thinking, and a collective consciousness he equates tonight to the Mingus Big Band, offered partially familiar pleasures.

En hij had de negen groepsleden verzameld: familieleden, jeugdvrienden, kennissen, allemaal afkomstig uit dezelfde arme wijken in New York en vrijwel allemaal opzienbarend goede artiesten.

  • Mega Ran Virtual Artist Residency Music of the United States: Hip Hop Audience Guide
    Mega Ran Virtual Artist Residency Music of the United States: Hip Hop Audience Guide HISTORY AND KEY TERMS Hip hop originated in the Bronx borough of New York City, and many people attribute hip hop’s birthday to the date August 11, 1973. Just before school started, Clive Campbell (a.k.a. DJ Kool Herc) threw a back-to- school jam in the rec room of an apartment building. For many, DJ Kool Herc and this party represent the beginnings of the iconic American genre called hip hop. Hip Hop: Hip is the idea of being culturally aware Break and breakbeat: A break is a short segment of and knowing what’s going on in the community. If music that primarily features drums and bass. Breaks someone is hip, we can say they are “in the know” and can be sampled and looped, using turntables, to make “know what time it is.” Hop represents the dancing them into a much longer breakbeat—and to keep the and movement aspect of the genre. When the music party going. plays, B-boys and B-girls get up and dance! Hip hop brings the two words together and represents more Sampling and flip: Sampling is taking part of a song than just a music genre. Hip hop is a culture centered and using it to create a whole new song. When a around self-expression and art that emerged from the sampled song sounds very different from the original, African American community in the Bronx. it’s called a flip, because the DJ or producer flipped the sound.

Everybody is Talking About the Good Ole Days: RZA on the Soul of Music by Ericka Blount Danois If hip-hop tours, white appropriation, anniversary celebrations, books and hip-hop documentaries aren’t an indication that hip-hop has reached the status of Beatles-style nostalgia and reverence, then releasing a Wu-Tang Clan 20th anniversary reunion album, A BetterTomorrow, is solid proof that the genre has officially arrived. RZA, always the heart of the operation, worked tirelessly to round up the troops and dissolve beefs for the reunion album that dropped Dec. 2, 2014. “I wanted to make a record that pays homage to soul music and hip-hop,” he said about the making of this album. “I went to the past to make something for the future.” RZA came out of his own pockets to fund the album to the tune of half a million dollars. Some of the best in the industry are featured on the album—Rick Rubin, Adrian Younge, David Porter, Kenny Gamble and Rob Cavallo, all had their hands in the pot. Wu-Tang has always done things big and with vision. RZA led the 9-member group to an unprecedented label deal where each member was able to launch solo records. The deal allowed them to become the most revolutionary rap group of the mid-’90s releasing five group and 19 compilation albums totaling over 6 platinum records and over 40 million sold.

  • “My Logo Is Branded on Your Skin”: the Wu-Tang Clan, Authenticity, Black Masculinity, and the Rap Music Industry
    “MY LOGO IS BRANDED ON YOUR SKIN”: THE WU-TANG CLAN, AUTHENTICITY, BLACK MASCULINITY, AND THE RAP MUSIC INDUSTRY By Ryan Alexander Huey A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of History – Master of Arts 2014 ABSTRACT “MY LOGO IS BRANDED ON YOUR SKIN”: THE WU-TANG CLAN, AUTHENTICITY, BLACK MASCULINITY, AND THE RAP MUSIC INDUSTRY By Ryan Alexander Huey The rap group, the Wu-Tang Clan came out of a turbulent period of time in both the rap music industry and American society in the early 1990s. Lawsuits over sampling in rap music forced producers to rethink the ways they made music while crack cocaine and the War on Drugs wreaked havoc in urban communities across the nation, as it did in the Clan’s home borough of Staten Island, New York. Before the formation of the group, Gary “GZA” Grice, had managed to land a recording contract as a solo artist, but his marketing was mismanaged and his career stagnated. He returned in 1992 as one of the nine member collective, who billed themselves as kung fu movie buffs melding low-fi, eerie productions with realistic raps about ghetto life. Drawing from the vibrant underground rap scene of New York City in the 1970s and 1980s, Brooklyn’s rich African American chess tradition, the teachings of the Five Percenters, and the cult following for Hong Kong action cinema, the Clan became a huge hit across the country. Each member fashioned a unique masculine identity for himself, bolstering their hardcore underground image while pushing the boundaries of acceptable expressions of manhood in rap music.

Active from 1986 to 1991, the group endured controversy due to the explicit, violent, and often misogynistic nature of their lyrics. They were subsequently banned from many mainstream U.S. radio stations and even at times prevented from touring - yet the group still sold over 9 million units in the U.S.

  • Lamont "U-God" Hawkins, a Founding Member of the Wu
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Marlena Brown Senior Publicist [email protected] // (646) 307-5633 LAMONT “U-GOD” HAWKINS, A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE WU-TANG CLAN, TO WRITE A MEMOIR Picador to Publish in March 2018 NEW YORK, September 25, 2017 – Lamont “U-God” Hawkins, a founding member of the Wu- Tang Clan, will write a memoir detailing his difficult childhood and revealing the untold story of the rise of the Wu-Tang Clan. North American rights to RAW: My Journey into the Wu-Tang Clan were acquired by Stephen Morrison and Pronoy Sarkar, who will edit the book, from Marc Gerald and Kim Koba of UTA, on behalf of U-God’s long-time collaborator and manager Domingo Neris of DNES Marketing. Publication is planned for March 2018, coinciding with the 25th anniversary tour of the Clan and a new solo album from U-God entitled VENOM, released by Babygrande Records. Meredith Miller of UTA sold UK rights to Faber & Faber UK—publisher of Quentin Tarantino, Junot Diaz, Billy Bragg, and Moby, who will publish simultaneously—and will sell worldwide rights. The Wu-Tang Clan are considered hip-hop royalty. Rolling Stone called them the “best rap group ever,” and their debut album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), is considered one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time. Since 1992, the group has released seven gold and platinum studio albums, with global sales of more than 40 million copies. In addition, nearly all the original members have gone on to have their own solo careers.
