I know you spend a lot of time in the studio Dre, but what’s up?  By your appearance at Fenway on Sunday to peddle your headphones with Jimmy, I’m pretty sure you didn’t think yesterday was April 1st did you?  We’ve all come to grips in our own way about whether Detox is fact or fiction, so don’t play with man.  Say Detox is coming soon all you want, but don’t give us titles & dates with no intention of following up.  We’ll welcome your music with open arms, but until then we’ll find other ways to keep ourselves entertained.  Daddy Fat Sacks filled the void pretty nicely this week.

Let’s face it: there will never be another Wu-Tang Clan. The legacy, impact and influence the populous collective from Staten Island have engraved in the culture’s skin has hardened and scabbed over, leaving an eternal brand.

Our favorite Wu-Gambinos are back as they ramp up preparations for their upcoming Wu-Massacre release.  Much like the trailer which came out a few months back, the video for “Our Dreams” leaves you with as many questions as it does answers.  Despite the wringer they’re trying to put us through, you can do lot worse than Starks, Tical & Chef spitting with the visuals provided by Rik & the 3/21 gang.  Perhaps in due time, they’ll let us in on the surprise.

Plus that sample, along with the way RZA flips it between the verses and chorus, is a thing of beauty.  Damn near gave chills the first time I played it.

Bonus — Method Man, Ghostface Killah & Raekwon – “Dangerous”

Ms. Miranda follows in the promiscuous footsteps of Camay, Yolanda and Maxine of shorty doo-wops that have been blazed by the Almighty Wu. For their next trick (get it?), Meth, Ghost & Rae will pass your kid sister around like sour diesel for the street single to Wu-Massacre. Read the rest of this entry »

Meth joins Starks and Shallah, as “Criminology 2” gets revamped into “Criminology 2.5.” Wu-Massacre hits stores on 3.30 and, admittedly, I’ll probably slip the cashier a Jackson for it. Rae lit a fire under these dudes that hasn’t stopped burning yet. Read the rest of this entry »

While they still need a supergroup name, you could them Shaolin Noodle Soup and it wouldn’t affect the quality. The hierarchy of the Wu-Tang Clan politic/ditto’s in Yolanda’s House to do what they do best: spit poisonous darts on rap tracks, this time over a soulful Mike Jack sample.* Read the rest of this entry »

Even though Wu Massacre has been pushed back to next year, 2/3′s of the team are at it.  Ghost is, for the lack of a better word, ghost as Meth & Chef duel it out once again in their personal chamber.  So on this day as families gather around the table to massacre turkeys & hams, let this be part of your soundtrack for the day.
