Wu Goes There
The Wu-Tang Clan was one of the ground-breaking rap groups of the 1990’s. The RZA (born Robert Diggs) talks about how his interests in music, martial arts and mysticism have taken him from Staten Island to a Shaolin temple to composing movie scores for Quentin Tarantino. After a decade of albums, the group has a manual to go with their hip-hop infused philosophy.
