Also the definition of a asshole according to almost all Wu members.

I'm a 61 year old white man from Bonnie Scotland (a Glasgow Irishman)I wasn't into hip hop, I was & still am into 60's music especially, Dylan & Pink floyd & in the 90's I heard Enter the 36 chambers! I was absolutely blown away by it & then it opened me up to then, Liquid swords & again my mind was blown. I then looked into the Rza & the rest of the Wu & their insight toward life opened my mind. The Rza & the rest of the Wu are responsible for me getting my life in order & to start treating even the people I disliked with respect & offering my love too them. Thank you Rza, you are one of the most humble men I've ever come across. Also, my love too Father Solomon ( Catholic priest who came to our house to give my wee Da Communion as he had Dementia. R.I.P. Da )who had to leave the U.K. to go back to Nigeria due to work commitments. I had not been going to mass regularly & failing in my commitment to our Lord & God Jesus. Since getting on my knees every night & thinking of our Lord not just suffering on the cross but, in the weeks leading up to the Crucifixion when he was being beaten & abused & asked his Father to " forgive them as they know not what they do." Made me stop whining about the pain I'm in due too rheumatoid arthritis, spondylitis & Sciatica! Thank you Rza, you opened my eyes & ears. God bless you & the Wu. God bless Father Solomon, I love you with all my heart. M.F.McCorriston U.K. 🍀🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙏🙏🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪🍀 Father Solomon had been in England. for 11 years & never been to a football ( soccer) match. I took him up too Glasgow to watch "The Celtic" play in the UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE & we won. Father Solomn fell in love with the club & fans. God bless the greatest club on the planet.

As you listen, know what this man has done is deeper than the music itself.. He literally brought different tribes in New York together and began to form an identity of their own… United as The Wu Tang Clan and it stems of this tree that will never be forgotten and lives on till this day!

My son Dub would have loved to submit his 16 to this #BustYourVerse challenge for RZA and Wu. Unfortunately he was senselessly murdered on Feb. 28th back home in Baltimore. May he continue to rest in peace. As his father and namesake I am going to continue his musical legacy by releasing a posthumous album titled EXIT 9 (there is a layered meaning behind this). He loved Wu-Tang and was a student of hip hop. His born day is upcoming on 4.9.23 (Easter Sunday). He would be 30 so it was a very important milestone. This is such a painful situation but I know that he is viewing this and smiling. Salute to RZA, Heather B, Sway and Wu for continuing to shine light on hip hop culture. I love you son 🧡🙏🏿🤲🏿 --- WISDOM BEATS

Rza is so wise unbelievable . I could sit there for months and listen to the abbot wisdom.

I went to the New York State of Mind Tour when they went to Raleigh, NC. Man, that was a bucket list and an environment that fulfilled my soul. I was just in the moment and I wish they would come back again. It was a bummer Method Man and Busta Rhymes couldn’t show up, but I still had a great time. Don’t miss out on that experience!

RZA has a great point about Black trauma being continually highlighted and even used as entertainment. I’ve been feeling the same thing for some time now and I think we’re all sick of slave movies at this point but it also comes as a result of modern and current news reports about police shootings and rapper murders.

When I realized that my son didn't know anything about our history when he was around 10 I ordered the Roots and Shaka Zulu box sets and at the end of both he asked if this stuff was true. The younger generation is too far removed from the truth. Him and his friends had no idea. With the next kid I started teaching her much earlier and intensive.

What’s crazy is… I was a super 90s-early 2000s hardcore East Coast music kid coming up, Nas, Mobb Deep, CNN, JayZ, 50, EVERYTHING East… but never really liked WuTang except for u know, the big hits & maybe few songs here & there & maybe Purple Tape… never really liked the whole kung fu style or the swag or lingo… kinda just felt like they were from the “other side” so to speak.. EVEN THO… some of their songs like CREAM… to me, is one of the greatest HipHop records of ALL TIME… That all being said… Ever since the WuTang series… I realized how Important they were to HipHop.. The Big things they’ve done, history they’ve made ect ect…. I APPRECIATE THEM MORE NOW THAN I EVER HAD! EVEN WENT BACK & TRIED GOING THRU THE ALBUMS & EVERYTHING… I EVEN REALIZED HOW SPECIAL ODB WAS!!!!…. NOBODY HAD TALENT LIKE THAT DUDE BRUH!!!!! HE WAS A ONE OF ONE!!! I ACTUALLY REMEMBER SEEING HIM DOING THE FOODSTAMP THING ON TV… LIKE… HE WAS GENIUS… PROB THE MOST UNIQUE SOUND EVER… & THE WU IS THE MOST UNIQUE HIPHOP CREW EVER! & THEY WERE ONE OF THE FIRST WITH THE WU-WEAR!! Crazy looking back how much they’ve done I HAVE NOTHING BUT UPMOST RESPECT FOR THEM NOW… FLOWERS 💐 🌷🌺💐🌹💐 FOR THE WHOLE WU TANG.. WELL DESERVED 🫡

I agree with Rza, my man dropping wisdom on us. We are all in this together. From different struggles and backgrounds and cultures. We should all be honest with ourselves. And there has been some dark times in our “American history.” History is there to be a reminder so that we don’t make those same mistakes or let mfers lead us down them paths. I believe the system is crumbling. And the wisdom that Wu brings contributes to that. Excited for the future and to see what rza is bringing Wu tang FOREVER

One hell of an introduction.❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

Straight up seamless concert i witnessed….not one intermission! Shit was epic
