This is a really dope, shot-for-shot rendition of the classic Wu cut. Down bottom you can see the exact shot-for shot with the actual Wu-Tang video, as well as the “7th Chamber” interlude. Props to 33jones and OhWord’s Share Items.
When I first heard Wu-Tang I was really impressed with the production. RZA's soundscapes were these spare,bleak,and cinematic collages that kinda reminded me of Blade Runner. He's gone on to bring that flavor to many motion pictures, where it seems to fit perfectly. I guess it is even more of a testament to RZA's Kung Fu on the decks that the futuristic sounds he creates are made with a huge g...

The display was for vinyl, and it looks like for the first time I can remember Bes...

Its early for a post on hip-hop night, but I have soccer tonight so I will not be around. I will chose to post my video now, as a means to get the party started right. I chose a video from VH1 Hip Hop Honors night. I feel it is one show that actually gets it right when they choose the artists they want to honor. What makes this clip even better is that is had one of my favorite actors introduci...
What could be simply put as raps first super group, the Wu-Tang Clan plans on reuniting in 2007 to record a new album. SRC Records CEO Steve Rifkind recently announced the group would be reuniting for the first time since 2001. Minus ODB, they will return with a full line-up, and hopefully the same chemistry that made them so popular on Enter The Wu-Tang. My only question is what names the grou...

RZA, the executive producer of this album, has made it clear that Chamber Music isn't a Wu Tang Clan album, as it doesn't feature all of the members of the clan. Instead the album's sound is clearly "inspired" by Wu's early sound trademarked in Enter The Wu Tang: 36 Chambers, without using samples in the production. All of the beats are live music beds by a band called The Revelations.The fact ...
Earlier this year we (MonsterFresh.com) did an interview with The Grouch from the Living Legends crew. We asked him about some limited edition Living Legends shoes that were temporarily produced by Reebok and if there were any plans to do anything like that in the future. He responded by saying the following, "Tennis Shoe culture is way played out to me. I'll probably get bombarded with hate ...

He also discusses how it felt this time around, recording without Ol Dirty Bastard.It's a pretty fantastic interview......
