@Oaktavia @Kasi
I watched the first couple seasons and loved it!! Looks like I have some catching up to do!!

[Kasi]

@Oaktavia

ODB is a funny fucker. Wants everything free. Even when he was famous was doing silly shit. Old habits don’t die
Lock up for this reason. R.I.P
Even his first album is the dog bollocks.

I can understand now why the 36 chambers is raw album.
Protect Ya Neck will always be my favourite song of all time.

@Mizmazzle better get watching.

[Oaktavia]

@Kasi yeah man remember what Ol' Dirty said...that show gave me goosebumps. Crazy about Raekwon's story was heavy too. Him and Ghost have a crazy dynamic to say the least.

[WhiskeySandwich]

Just learning about this show, i need to watch for sure. Huge Wu fan.

[Kasi]

@Oaktavia

Raekwon's is one my favourite too.
Heaven and Hell listen to that’s song
What a song. Featuring Ghost

This was wasn’t easy to find for being dope album. Made in Japan.
Talks about all his struggle.

Ghost is another killer, his first album is dope to

@WhiskeySandwich let us know what you think if you watch it. Pretty sure it only has three seasons, and the last one is a bit different.

We loved the first season! By 2, the actor who plays Bobby starts exaggerating the weird monotone thing with his voice which was challenging. Overall, a good watch—and of course the soundtrack is unmatched.

Yes I felt the same why, thinking why is he talking like that? Overkill for sure...did RZA really have that deep of a voice? Not when I have heard him.

Some of if is fiction

@Kasi yes, I am not surprised about that. At least RZA was there to make sure it didn't get too out of hands with the storytelling. What did you think otherwise? The show kind of turns at one point.

@Oaktavia

I will still give it 10 out of 10
Can’t go wrong with it.

I was listening to Wu-Tang back in 1993.

Nowadays Rap is dead.

Today times Rapper’s want to be drug dealers

As back then was the other way around.

Roots of reality was different.

You can see the Rawness Wu-Tang
Brings out. They are what you see.
They still haven’t gone soft.

Mids 90’s hip-hop was strong.

Along with 2Pac and Biggie beef going on.

3 best groups of all times.

NWA starting it all off Godfathers of Gangsta Rap

Wu-Tang bringing new shaken beats, next level of music.

G-Unit 50 Cent at time was the king of the world.

It’s end there for me.

Wait?! What kind of denim?

@Alex I think he's referring to the stupid automated eBay translation of "selvedge". On a brighter note, i'd probably not be offered a 10oz, but a 295ml shirt.

[Alex]

Oh, I just clocked what you meant...

Japanese has two alphabets, hiragana and katakana, then also uses Chinese characters, called Kanji. The Japanese language has also adopted many Western words, and deploys Katakana to sound these out.

Selvedge translated into Katakana is セルビッチ or se ru bi chi

@Alex Are you or have you been learning Japanese?

[Alex]

@cityofdelusion since late 2019

[goosehd]

@Alex Curious if you're learning to speak, read, or both? I can imagine trying to read Japanese would be pretty tricky.

Everything, and yes, it is!
