I hope all is going fantastic for you, and your world is filled with joy,
so as many of you know, should know or will know after this post the Hip Hop group known as the Wu-Tang Clan is my favourite band of all time in all music. They have been since they first came out in 1993. Wu tang is a ground breaking band for many reasons, they are the first Hip Hop group with so many members, and different styles. Wu tang also made history by signing a ground breaking contract were they could all sign solo deals with another record company if they liked (looking back that was a dumb move by loud records) Wu has and always will be my favourite group, however being a fan of the Wu is frustrating for a few simple reasons that are annoying, and in my view is what kept them from being greater than what they are.
Reason Number One
it takes them forever to come out with new albums. Here is what I mean the first Wu Tang album came out in the year of 1993, so they been out for 20 years next year in 2013, so how many group albums do you think they have? ten? fifteen? nope try five, five freaking albums in 20 years. am not genius at maths, but I think that is an album every four years I mean I know bands who have five albums in five years.
Reason Number Two
Oh it does not just end with band albums besides Ghostface Killah, and Raekwon it also takes them forever to make solo albums. Method man has been coming out with his "final" (in music final means not for long" for like 3 years.
Reason Number Three
the reason they can never come out with albums fast enough all breaks down to the fact the members of the Wu-Tang are not on the same page, hell am not even sure they are even in the same book. you might think they all chill with each other, but nope only once in a while. It's pretty much like they are only a band by name, but after the joe budden thing (joe was talking shit about Method man, so raekwon punched him in the eye) I guess they are still a "family" in a way.
Over the years The Wu's music has not been as good as it was when they first came out, and there last album 8 diagrams can be considered their Chinese Democracy (any chance I get to point out how shitty that album is Axl am going to take until the whole world knows you fucked up GnR), however the only difference is 8 diagrams is at least an ok album, and once in a great while worth listening to were Chinese Democracy is just pure rubbish, but hear is what I mean this is a song from their album the W
and this is from their last album
but I guess tyhey just got older, or as the other 8 members would put it the Rza is just nuts these days as the other eight members hated the album, and am not sure, but I think they never perform any songs at concerts from the album
that is all for now,
I love you all deeply,
your friend,
VPK
