Wu Tang on NPR

Just looking up some Wu Tang info, and found this interview with the RZA on NPR. Man. Just listening to the musical bump,"Cream" brings back that same feeling of awe I had when I first heard the track way back when. Quite an interesting story. RZA, for being such a musical genius, had such an inquisitive mind and an unique gift for making tracks. Amazing!

Peace!

Edit:

Just listening to the interview a bit more...they play a clip from the soundtrack to "Ghost Dog", one of the most underrated independent or gangster related or or Jim Jarmusch or Forrest Whittaker related movie ever made. Have you seen it? See it!



Man what is Forrest Whittaker up to these days? I saw him on the Twilight Zone a while back. For some reason, whatever he's doing, even if the rest of the project's not great, I find myself watching him work. Can we give him a life-time achievement Oscar or something?

Edit:

Now the interview is getting long. Meh. Listen to it if you must...

Forrest Whittaker last lit up the (small) screen as the creepy-yet-effective IAD lieutenant that tried to take down Vic Mackey's strike team on the last season of The Shield. He pretty much ruined everyone's life, including his own. I'm not sure if his character will return for the next season. Season 5, as with all seasons, is definitely worth checking out on DVD.
