A weekday bagel. Dependable, satisfying, no fuss.
Summary
Comedian Adam Friedland interviews RZA and challenges him to recall obscure Wu-Tang Clan affiliates from the group's vast extended network, and to create a beat using Christopher Cross's "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)." The article discusses the legendary scope of Wu-Tang's affiliate roster, which included hundreds of peripheral artists beyond the core nine members.
Key quotes
· 5 pulledPart of the myth of the Wu-Tang Clan, especially back in the day, was that the group had this vast, mysterious extended family.
The core crew was nine members, which was already a lot, but then there were literal hundreds of Wu-Tang affiliates running around out there.
Some of them would turn up with verses on group members' solo albums, or they'd come together in peripheral groups like Wu-Tang Killa Beez or Sunz Of Man.
Now, Adam Friedland has done what many of us always wanted to do.
He sat RZA down, and he asked about a bunch of these far-flung Wu-Tang affiliates who can't possibly be real.
