RZA’s “Victory or Death” Trailer (Video)

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_T6h_XWMLGU[/youtube]

Coming out on New Year’s Day is this long-time project from RZA. Not many details available on what exactly he’s doing, but it will be a limited edition of 360 canvases inspired by the idea of art imitating life. He says, “… you look at a picture of something that had nothing to do with you, but yet, it describes everything you [are] about–that’s when you see a true revolution.” Nothing wrong with starting the new year off with some soul-searching philosophizing. I’d like to see how he connects the “Victory or Death” trailer with the actual art, which is billed as “When Art Imitates Life.”

Friday the 13th: A Night with The Cool Kids and Mos Def (Video)

Creative Control presents us with a sneak peak into director Michael Eaton Sterling’s upcoming film project, set in Dame Dash’s Manhattan art gallery/studio space, DD172. The video features The Cool Kids and Mos Def, among others, alerting us to more great collabs emerging from within Dash’s studio space, which was home to the BlakRoc Project. That particular venture brought us music from The Black Keys, joined by the likes of Mos Def, RZA, Raekwon, Jim Jones, Pharoahe Monche, and Q-Tip. A total of 11 artists got together to record the album in 11 days, producing one of the more interesting projects to come along recently. No doubt, this is sure to be just as enticing:

Ghostface Killah & Method Man look back at a time when the WU almost killed Meth on tour (Video)

247HH Wild Tour Story: Method Man and Ghostface from MCM on Vimeo.

Interviews like this highlight the comradery of the WU, no matter how big each member became the brotherhood never changed.  I don’t know if we will ever see another hip-hop group like this, in my opinion to many rappers have enormous egos which hinder them from being able to work in a group.
