Twenty years after the Wu-Tang Clan invaded and radically altered hip-hop, Shaolin’s finest are struggling to reunite for one more album. Here, a 10-part portrait of how the legendary group lives apart today.
Wu-Tang Clan live from Hultsfred Festival, Sweden. The year was 1997. The whole clan (except Ghostface Killah) was there. Streetlife and Cappadonna can be seen on stage as well. Some of the footage from this performance was used in the video "Reunited" from Wu-Tang Clan's "Forever" album.
Rock the Bells is a documentary on the preparation and realization of the original Wu-Tang Clan’s final live performance. The film focuses on hip-hop concert promoter Chang Weisberg, whose Guerrilla Union production company showcases live hip-hop of a noncommercial bent. Weisberg comes across as a mixture of fanboy and snake-oil salesman, but it is his attention to detail that allows him to undertake what no other promoter had managed to accomplish in a long time: the presentation of the complete original lineup of the Wu-Tang Clan in live performance.
Yesterday, an 93-page long FBI document recording the alleged criminal activity of Wu-Tang Clan member, the late Russell T. Jones bka Ol Dirty Bastard, was made public under the Freedom of Information Act. You can read the entire (although, profoundly redacted) thing, which includes accounts of shootings, car jackings and numerous other crimes below.
