Back in 1992, the WU-TANG CLAN were dropping their first single "Protect Ya Neck" and in the midst of recording their first album "Enter The Wu-Tang (36 CHAMBERS)", which took the hip hop world by storm. 20 years and dozens-upon-dozens of successful group and solo albums later, the WU-TANG are still packing em in at live shows across all the country. I saw the WU back in 2010, which I previously posted about (link), but Method Man and the RZA missed that appearance. Would they make it this time around?
The group was missing a couple of members on stage, just like the last time I saw the WU, but when everybody knows everybody else's verses, it doesn't matter much. The show was exactly what you expect a WU-TANG CLAN show to be--a MOTHERFUCKING RUCKUS!! Personally, I'm glad I finally got to see the RZA and Method Man live on stage; to be honest they brought a helluva lot to the performance. There's no question that this show was better than the previous one. Now I'm really looking forward to the new WU-TANG album, which is supposed to drop sometime this year (let's hope).
