rza is a geek

"yo, we geeks man, we geeks!"

this is for my people out there that enjoy the wu, especially the fellas over @ dumbdrum.com who posted a rza/colbert interview recently.



wu tang clan ain't nuthin to geek with!

i did think his quote about how he would rather raise nerds than gangsters was interesting. they've come a long way from the 36 chambers and talking about banging somebody's genitals with a spiked bat, or sowing someone's anus shut and feedin 'em and feedin 'em (two hilarious lines, btw). i'm fine with this. actually, i'm glad that he's grown up as a person. now, if the wu were to put out a new album talking about how they still were gangsta and were doing dirt right now, i might call out the cognitive dissonance. but i'm fine with him saying, 'hey, i'm a producer, i'm into all this nerdy electronic stuff, i love video games.' i'd even be fine with him saying that he liked guns, too. just as long as he doesn't try and come all hard core today/i make movies about road trips with kids tomorrow.

wu tang's new song

the wu is back! check out wu tang's new song over here (fader magazine). well, that is, if you ever liked wu tang clan.

sounds like they've got the whole clan together here. i dig the music, very reminiscent of their first album. let's hope the whole album delivers. that is, if you like the wu tang clan.

cause of death

ah shoot, this made me almost laugh out loud, which would have been a terrible thing to do while t.a.'ing a class.

cause, you know, the wu tang clan ain't nothin to...

btw, no, you can't have a cheezburger.

rage against the machine

so, i've been a huge fan of rage for a long time now. i was extremely excited that they were reuniting to play coachella, but as always, i wasn't going to be able to go to the show due to track commitments.

well, God bless their little hearts, they've announced some more dates they'll be playing. there's a show on saturday, august 11. i think i may be picking up tickets in the next few days. well, maybe. the ticket levels are $76 and $151 + fees. yikes! so, the "cheaper" tix are $90. hmmm, i've got to mull this decision over.

Lineup: Rage Against the Machine, Wu-tang Clan, Cypress Hill, The Roots, Mos Def, Nas, EPMD, Pharoahe Monch, Mf Doom, Felt, Immortal Technique, Jedi Mind Tricks, Sage Francis, Brother Ali, Living Legends, The Grouch & Eligh, Cage, Hangar 18, Blueprint, Mike Realm, plus very special guest Public Enemy. Hosted by Supernatural, Rahzel and Hi-Tek Vip includes: Official Rock The Bells backpack, official concert tee, poster, souvenir laminate, 2 drink tickets, access to the VIP lounge area and amenities.

(although i think all that vip stuff comes only @ the 151 level.)
