Wu-Tang Clan on Tour
Considered by many to be the greatest hip-hop group of all time, Wu-Tang Clan have been touring as a unit since their debut record — Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) — came out in 1993. The now triple-platinum release vaulted the New York City group with songs like "C.R.E.A.M." (Cash Rules Everything Around Me) and "Protect Ya Neck" that are about as recognizable as anything in the rap canon.
Their live sets are a family affair, with every member of the crew representing their lyrical contributions to the Wu´s eight studio albums, as well as notable cuts from the Wu-Tang solo discography. With the omnipresent Wu-Tang "W" flanking all angles of the stage, there´s a familiarity to Wu-Tang Clan´s music that gives their shows unique mass appeal.
Whether they´re delivering the 36 Chambers record front to back on the album´s 25th Anniversary Tour, or tracks from GZA´s seminal Liquid Swords and Raekwon´s mafioso-minded Only Built 4 Cuban Linx..., or honoring the legacy of their departed brother, Old Dirty Bastard, every Wu-Tang Clan show is a celebration of prolific careers as individuals and especially as the most storied group in hip-hop history.
Wu-Tang Clan Background
Founded in New York City of Staten Island in the early 1990s, the Wu-Tang Clan is comprised of members RZA, GZA, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, U-God, Masta Killa, Inspectah Deck, Cappadonna, and the deceased Old Dirty Bastard (ODB). Their name is a reference to a 1983 martial arts film. Led by the production of RZA, samples from martial arts films have thematically appeared throughout the groups music, as have samples of classic funk and soul tracks from artists like Rick James, James Brown, and Syl Johnson. As a group, Wu-Tang Clan have three platinum albums among their eight LPs, and the groups complete anthology (including solo albums) has more than 85 full-length releases. More than just rappers, Wu- Tang Clan are entrepreneurs and successful cultural influencers, with an empire that features everything from clothing lines and video games to books and acting credits.
