Wu: The Story of the Wu-Tang Clan (DVD)

The Wu-Tang Clan arose in 1993 to change Hip-Hop forever, with complex rhymes, dissonant soundscapes, and a personal mythology inspired by martial arts flicks. The nine person rap crew from Staten Island was an A-Team of verbal warfare with GZA, Method Man, Ghostface Killah, and others contributing a unique flavor to the mix. And while some rappers become embarrassing by their second album, Wu-Tang continued to produce shockingly original music for a period unrivaled by other artists. Narrated by Gerald "Gee-Bee" Barclay, this documentary examines the history of the Wu, their rise and fall, and what the future may hold for one of the greatest teams in Hip-Hop.
