OK enough about the Oscars, there are much bigger and better things to be concerned about.

Ghostface Killah - The Sun (feat. Raekwon, Slick Rick, & The RZA)
Bulletproof Wallets
2001
Allow me to introduce you to my favorite Wu-Tang (related) track of all time. First of, it’s a song….about THE SUN. Yea, really. It’s a rap song devoted to THE SUN and how awesome it is and how it radiates energy and gives life and “can never be pussy, always come out, [and] sits right there even if you pull your gun out”.
In fact, it just might be one of my favorite songs, in general.
Secondly, Slick Rick’s verse kills everything. His flow in this song hasn’t aged a bit and his lyrics are nothing short of poetry. The way he says “it’s haaard to go back to work when your lunch break’s finished” is perfection.
Third, come on it’s a song about THE SUN!!! Maybe RZA was in the studio one day listening to The Velvet Underground’s Loaded and was like “yo I got it!!!…we need to do a song about the sun! …doodoodooodooot”. One can only imagine how the genius mind operates. The only bummer is that RZA couldn’t get this sample cleared so it never made Ghostface’s album. But thanks to the internet it’s here, and it’s been one of my favorites since I first heard it.
ED. NOTE: Based on “I wish we had three more of you”, I suspect Rae does not believe in global warming.

Can we please get a RAAAAAAAANDY x Wu-Tang collab already? BTW, I am still gonna roll with my RZA = Mel Brooks analogy.

No offense Matt Payton, but I vehemently disagree with this analogy. I mean if there’s ever an ensemble movie cast to compare the Wu to (lolz wu to?) it would be a Mel Brooks film wherein the RZA is Mel Brooks. Maybe Ghostface would be Gene Wilder (Young Frankenstein his Supreme Clientele) and Ol’ Dirty Bastard is Rick Moranis in Spaceballs. Obviously 36 Chambers is Blazing Saddles. Hmm I haven’t really thought out this analogy all the way but I AM ROLLING WITH IT nonetheless.

So I guess RZA went and commissioned an artist to recreate Washington Crossing The Delaware only with him and his cousins Ol’ Dirty and GZA instead. Oh and of course, NINJAS. Oh holy shit do I need this. My birthday is at the end of the month and this would be the greatest gift of all times.

Somebody please make a Wu-Tang chessboard set. I mean check out that chainsaw-wielding Knight (I guess?) on the motorcycle. Better yet, any nerds out there remember those CHESSMASTER games on PC? Someone should make a Wu-Tang chess videogame so all these characters can animate and fight each other in 3D. Plus an instrumental soundtrack from the RZA? GOLDMINE.
RZA, Wu-Tang, if you are reading this, I’ll be wanting my royalties.

Wu-Tang Clan - Gravel Pit
2000
And there’s those cases when the stars align. Time-travelling elevators, Wu-Tang meets The Flintstones, rock quarry puns, Jurassic Park references, ninja swordsmen, mid-air wire fighting with Bokeem Woodbine (The Big Hit, people!). This all to a menacing RZA beat sampling bits of Enter The Dragon, James Brown, and obscure French TV show theme songs. Genius.
