Wu-Tang Clan - Gravel Pit

This came up on the shuffle today. The song itself, while far from their best, isn't that bad. It's got a good rhythm; and Meth and em do the thing over the track. The video though...it's just bad.

• The corny elevator scene and dialogue.
  
• The idea of Wu-Tang time traveling to -- of all places -- some sort of Jurassic Era.
  
• Dinosaurs!?
  
• The re-worked nicknames (Bobby Boulders, Lex Rockhead)
  
• Rappers walking around with Bam Bam clubs.
  

The swordplay at the end was fun, but who ok'd this?

Has a highly respected group ever dropped a video as corny as this before? I may have to table this at the T.R.O.Y. forum.

J-Zone's been diggin through his VHS tapes, and he recently found and posted a 1991 video of GZA, ODB and RZA appearing on the public access show, Rhythm & Soul. Write up, and video can be found here.



I miss Russell Jones.

My Tweets Will Rock And Shock The Nation...

YES!

Being serious for a second, I don't believe U-God was as wack as people made him out to be. I've said this before, and will say it again, I think he's just a victim of music 101 nerds, who need an easy way to start or enter a conversation.

"Yeah, I love all of them...except for U-God, he's the wack one"

*Yawn*

That said, I don't know if there's been a worse song, released from a legendary group, than this one...

Wu-Tang Revealed (GZA, 2010)

I'm not expecting any sort of revelatory footage or information to come out of this doc. The trailer seems pretty telling -- a bunch of rappers bitching at each other about money and creativity.

Still want to see it though.

Also, I miss Russell Jones, "muthafucka"
