The Abbot of the Wu Tang Clan is scheduled to educate the faithful at COEX Cultural Centre (?) on August 22nd. Cilvaringz (who is not too bad either) is supposed to open. Has anyone heard anything about this?

Yeah, I'm already looking forward to his solo efforts, 'Sunshower', from the Euro release of WTC Forever or maybe 'Samurai Showdown' off the Ghost Dog soundtrack. Though I think he sounds best when interjected between the other Clan members, he is still a world class MC by himself. Ears to ground, 4 sho sho.

RZA,

Amazingly dope on the mic, amazingly lackluster these days on the boards.

My man fell off harder than Rasham Salaam.

Sparkles*_* (drinkin' Hatorade)

That said, I'd still be interested in seeing him, if this is indeed true. Maybe ask him politely to help produce the ESL Cafe Gangstahz' first single "Kill My Wonjangnim" featuring denz, gang ah jee, et al. w/ Gord on the hook (he's like a white Nate Dogg, only better).

I dunno about RZA being such a great MC... Productionwise he was smooooooooth but he raps like his mouth is full of screws and his flows aren't exactly what i'd call tight. Great in smaller parts and interjections etc but I can't abide him solo for too long. Booby Digital say - I could only listen to that a couple of times (did that movie ever get made?) I haven't heard anything he's been doing for ages - my Wu knowledge is timewarped in '96.

favorite RZA flow -

explosive
diagnosis
it's fatal
like multiple
schlerosis

Agreed. But I'd still be well up for checking him out if he comes here. Can anyone confirm that this is actually on?

I am not for sure about the concert but I read about it on www.wutangworld.com. I will agree that RZA gets tiresome at album length and the Bobby Digital experiment was a bad one, but its his unorthodox timing, esoteric lyrics and screw-mouthed flow that I think makes him interesting. Different is yes, talented mic assassin is yes too.
As for the beats, he has fallen off but he isn't making bad records. But in comparison to the amazing albums he made when he was on top, his last couple have been lacking.
As for proof of skillz...from Twelve Jewelz by Gravediggaz.

[RZA]
Niggaz is caught up in the midst of six
You better grab ahold of your crucifix
And this is it, the black God exists
Can you understand this? Let me teach you a lesson, yo
The pre-existance of the mathematical biochemical equations
The manifestations of God, Earth Air Fire and Water
which are in it's basic formation, solid liquid and gases
that caused the land masses, and the space catalyst
and all matter that exists and is dense
Third dimension, that must be observed through physical comprehension
It takes a nerve to be struck, wisdom is the wise
poet spoken to wake up, the dumb who've been sleeping
The fourth dimension is time, it goes inside the mind
Run the channels energized up through the back of your spine
So observe as my G energy strikes a vital nerve
One swerve of the tongue it pierces like a sword through the lung
Have you not heard, that words kill as fast as bullets
when you load negative thoughts, to the chamber of your brain
And your mouth pulls the trigger that propels
wickedness straight from Hell
From the pits of your stomach where negativity dwell
I searched the East coast and West coast down and most found
the small towns is like ghost towns, everybody moves slowed down
From Uptown to Bucktown give a *beep* now Shaolin gots the crown
And cops'll still serve you from Jamaica Ave. to Myrtle
And cats carry more shells than turtles
Brooklyn Down Park Hill pussies unfertile
Buy wholesale never retail get females in deep spells
If you eat well, you sleep well
Send enemies to Hell
What makes hair skin epidermis fingernail
Regenerate, when everything else disintegrate
A teflon vest so bullets can't penetrate
On the corner of my block there stood this old man
A black immigrant from the land of Sudan
Who used to tell stories to the children in the building
But never had a dollar to keep his pocket filled in
He bombed he knew Deuteronomy the science of Astronomy
But didn't know the basic principles of economy
I say the wise man don't play the role of a fool
The first thing a man must obtain is Twelve Jewelz
Knowledge Wisdom Understanding to help you achieve
Freedom, Justice Equality Food Clothing and Shelter
After this, Love Peace and Happiness
He had the nappiest head, I told him total satisfaction
is to achieve one goal in the scheme of things
He who works like a slave, eats like a king
