Every other site that I go—I see the same posts. Ha! And a lot of them are stocked with plenty of Wu-connected content lately. As a close witness to RZA’s masterplan powerfully penetrating the mainstream in the early 90’s, it’s with a heavy heart I try to remain as positive as I can about the state of Shaolin in 2009. But it’s so hard. The catalogue is so classic, anything released in the last few years fails badly in comparison. Oh well. Time will tell.

In the meantime, I’m waxing nostalgic admiring legacy over an article in Wax Poetics that Diggers Union discovered. GZA, The Clan’s Capo recalls his super second album and drops plenty of gems. Here’s one. Peace God!

“4th Chamber”—Crazy, crazy song. If I ever do a rock album, not saying I would, but if I did, it would have to be on that kind of vibe. It would musically have to sound like “Rock Box” from Run DMC. Making “4th Chamber” was crazy because I didn’t have a rhyme ready for that one. That’s why I went last on it [laughs]. Plus, Ghost killed it with his verse so I knew I had to come correct.

This is one of three songs that crowds always go crazy for when we do a Wu show. As soon as they hear the [imitates opening guitar sound] they just explode. It’s not even a GZA song to me—it’s a Wu-Tang song. And Ghost’s verse is [just] incredible to me. He delivered so well. I don’t know if you saw the video, I directed that too. This song, the guest verses, the video, the crowd response, all turned out perfect for this one.

A few lil birdies told me Kanye’s boo has been upgraded from Smooth magazine status to an upcoming Elle inside-the-book portfolio and a Complex cover. That’s right, my son NCB who slutted out Aubrey and got Cassie to flash her ass, is sure to soon deliver the goodness to get you geeks out of your post Tahiry doldrums. Get your cocoa butter, busters!

Jay-Z has a big concert at Arizona Stadium tonight and according to this report, he’s makin’ a pretty penny. What a shocker! Anyways, I told dude today was a slow news day, so he sent me these photos. Courtesy of the Big Homie’s blackberry, so don’t get your eyes blurry trying to make sense of the words written by the hand that don’t write. Ha!

I hope somebody in desi has a flip cam.

XXL’s first Managing Editor (Oh, you didn’t know?) posted some pics of Gucci Mane’s video shoot for “She Got A Friend.” According to Info, the clip was shot at someone’s pad in Klan land (No Wu-Tang). More pics after the jump.

Who knew you could do so much shit on an iPhone? In the clip, some genius developed an application that allows him to get his Grandwizard Theodore on. His vid is a response to this. Man, this is like that scene out of Juice—minus Pac’s trigger happy ass, of course.

At the 2:54 mark, DeAndre claims to have “ended a lot of niggas careers.”

 My thoughts exactly.

Well, this is different. Ha!
