RZA Too Much Of A Businessman To Consider Another Wu-Tang Album


Even though I know that he's giving an honest and realistic response following the clumsy release of 8 Diagrams, it's vaguely depressing to hear RZA say that attempting another Wu-Tang Clan album would be "bad business." Its members' varying degrees of solo success (and RZA's own control-freak tendencies) have made it extremely hard for the group to come together, and it's no surprise that collective enthusiasm is at a new low. But to hear it from the RZA himself guarantees the group is basically done for: "I don't know, really, to tell you the truth. Wu-Tang is forever, I think, and we'll be making the same sounds, whether we make it together or separately. But as far as making an album together, I don't know." More »

Latest by GeorgeLang: 8 Diagrams was pretty great, no matter how much the non-RZA members bitched about it. Too bad the slipshod release meant that few people even knew it existed.[blog.newsok.com] more »

Time For You To Uncover The Mystery Of Chessboxin'


WuChess opened today, and in addition to a (welcome, to me) return to Wu-branded merchandise it offers a new business model from the RZA, who's charging $48 a year for chess instruction, online play, tournaments, and social networking. The site's launch even gave the Web 2.0 chattering classes an opportunity to squabble with each other about the site's viability! Personally, I'll stick to online Dr. Mario for my game-related social-networking needs, even if the music isn't quite as good. [WuChess blog]

You Can't Stop The RZA From Recalling Past Glories Now


"You Can't Stop Me Now," from the RZA's upcoming Bobby Digital release, Digi Snax, describes how the beat mastermind moved from street crime to sampling, finally becoming famous alongside the Wu-Tang Clan in 1993. What fifteen year old accomplishments have to do with our ability to stop him today is left unclear. More »

Comment

On the one hand, having a contest co-sponsored by Pitchfork and Guitar Center lends support to Jim DeRogatis' "they're the new Rolling Stone!" argument. On the other hand, if you win, you get a lesson in sampler use from the RZA. (You also get a contact high at no additional charge.) While you're forbidden from entering if you work for Roland or Guitar Center, actual Wu-Tang Clan members are free to try, so this could be U-God's chance. [Pitchfork]
