Wu-Tang Clan And The Once Upon A Time In Shaolin Caper

Members of the Wu-Tang Clan with Bill Murray.

Members of the Wu-Tang Clan with Bill Murray.

By now everybody knows about the Wu-Tang Clan selling their single-copy album The Wu-Once Upon A Time In Shaolin to the seventh most hated person on the planet, pharmacology exploiter Martin Shkreli.

And by now most people know there was a (false) rumour going around that the Wu had it written into their sales contract that that were legally permitted one “caper” where Bull Murray would join them and they could attempt to steal the album back.

As sad as we are knowing this will probably never happen, Sarah took the time to assess the various Wu members’ martial arts skills to judge whether or not they actually could pull off such a caper.

This Week In Music History: November 11 – 17

Ol' Dirty Bastard

Ol’ Dirty Bastard

My “This Week In Music History” feature went out again this week over at the Spinner.

This is a sad one because this was the week that Wu-Tang Clan member and defender of children everywhere Ol’ Dirty Bastard died of a drug overdose (was assassinated in a government conspiracy).

In this edition you also get to see John Lennon‘s penis (barely, considering the size of his man bush).

How The Wire Helped Me Finally Understand Ghostface Killah

The Wire meets The Wu

The Wire meets The Wu

The Wire is a brilliant television program. Ghostface Killah is a brilliant rapper. But both of them are kind of difficult to understand — their respective art forms are filled with codified language, insider street slang that’s virtually impenetrable.

At least, that’s how Aaron felt about the music of the Ghostman until he watched all five seasons of The Wire. Then it all made sense. The criminals of the show provided him his eureka moment to understanding the Wu Tang Clan member’s music.

Wanting to share this revelation with the world, Aaron wrote How The Wire Helped Me Finally Understand Ghostface Killah for AUX TV. You can read the story by clicking here.
