Official Wu-Tang Saga Movie Documentary Trailer & Info (Video & MP3)

Now you can be part of the Wu-Tang Clan! Or at least be that fly on the wall when the Clan is around. Ever wanted to know what went down behind the scenes when RZA was booted out of the 8 Diagrams tour? Well, now is your chance. The Official Wu-Tang Saga is being heralded as the official look at the behind the scenes doings of possibly one of the greatest hip hop groups in history. I’m always a sucker for “behind the scenes” type of documentaries and looks to be rather complete with all nine member (if you include Cappadonna) showing up. Lot’s of extras included as well. Sounds like a definite must for all the big-time Wu-heads out there….

New Dirty Bastard! (MP3)

Next week, Message To The Other Side- Osirus Part 1, will mark the return of ODB via 21 tracks produced by Wu-stalwarts and affiliates.  The project (presumably the first of a few) also comes with a 20-minute DVD.

For now, here’s a somewhat ironic first track that just leaked:  “Say No”, where ODB is telling kids to stay away from drugs. Wu IS kid friendly!

Listen to “Say No” by ODB off Message To The Other Side- Osirus Part 1, in stores November 17th.

The Tipping Point :: In Search Of Ol’ Dirty Bastard

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like the fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars …” – Jack Kerouac, On The Road (1957)

I went looking for Ol’ Dirty Bastard on Sunday afternoon. This is my story.

I head east, with two friends, on Wilshire Boulevard and begin, what is to be, an unforgettable day.

I suppose I have been looking for ODB since his untimely passing in 2004. Hip-hop has become achingly predictable since Dirt’s departure. In URB #157, I profiled Dances With White Girls, a lesser-known DJ whose …
