Reading the headline with a wuxia background and not knowing that there's a hiphop group that took the literal same name as the classic martials art clan, I was quite confused.
Listen to their stuff. It's relevant
Relevant to what? according to wikipedia they are credited for revitalizing "east coast" hiphop, so not even american, but a section of the US, and I'm not even from that continent. It would surprise me that what they say is relevant to my local history, and there's tons of music media that criticise the current society, I'm not going to listen to a media type I won't enjoy.
Sorry if I came brusque but so did you.
My guy, you don't have to go so hard. All I was trying to say is if you listen to their music you'll find that their whole shtick and major inspiration is kung fu movies. Many of the samples in their songs are from old kung fu movies.
It's Wu-Tang. Wu-Tang is for the children. If you don't know, then don't worry about it. Bill Murray!
Hilarious that someone is more willing to read a wiki than just listen to a song. 🤣
Maybe they're just aware that the Wu-Tang Clan ain't nuthin' to fuck with...
Well, the first thing that pops up on google is a wikipedia page so.... I did listen to the tip two songs in tidal, not to my liking at all.
