Wu-Tang Clan
The
Wu-Tang Clan (pronounced /ˈwuːtæŋ/) is a highly influential hip-hop collective
from Staten Island, New York that consists of RZA, GZA, Method Man, Raekwon,
Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, U-God, Masta Killa, and the late Ol' Dirty
Bastard. They are frequently joined by fellow childhood friend Cappadonna, a
quasi-member of the group. They were formed in (and are associated with) the
New York City borough of Staten Island (U-God, Method Man, RZA, Ghostface
Killah and Raekwon) (referred to by members as "Shaolin"), though
some of their members are from Brooklyn (Ol Dirty Bastard, GZA and Masta Killa)
and one is from The Bronx (Inspectah Deck).
They
have introduced and launched the careers of affiliated artists and groups,
often collectively known as the Wu-Tang Killa Bees, and in 2008, About.com
ranked them the No. 1 greatest hip hop group of all time, and stated "No
weapon in hip-hop history can rival the chaotic cohesion of the Wu-Tang Clan.
The Clan had so many characters, each with his own eccentricities. They were
fearless in their approach. There's a good reason no group has been able to
successfully recreate their sound. The crew spawned countless loosely
associated acts. Their classic albums spawned classic albums." Kris Ex of
Rolling Stone called Wu-Tang Clan "the best rap group ever." In 2004,
NME hailed them as one of the most influential groups of the last ten years.
