- Dec. 5, 2018 | Abby O'Neill -- The Wu-Tang Clan gathered at the Tiny Desk to commemorate the 25 years since the release of the group's landmark album Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). With more than 60 albums between the various members, The Clan's combined discography left them spoiled for choice when it came to narrowing down the set list for their performance. The result was an extended, 20-minute medley of songs from across the group's iconic catalog.
The retrospective mashup of Wu classics started with the posse cut "Triumph." Backed by strings (The Green Project), the performance morphed into an old-school cipher as Raekwon, Inspectah Deck and Cappadonna traded verses with Masta Killa and U-God. Young Dirty Bastard, son of original member Ol' Dirty Bastard, provided a spark of energy reminiscent of his father.
At one moment in the performance, RZA - the mastermind behind the Clan's success - omits some explicit lyrics from earlier in his Wu journey, while alluding to the #MeToo movement mid-cadence. But it's the poetic interlude, read from his phone at the close of the set, that better reflects his current state of consciousness. "Wu-Tang is for the kids!" RZA proclaims. The core of the group began as childhood pals in Staten Island in the early '90s, when the crew's creative philosophy was influenced by everything from Saturday afternoon kung-fu flicks to the spiritual wisdom of the Five-Percent Nation. As they've matured, Raekwon still describes the Wu as "superfriends." They've allowed each other to grow and form various offshoots in recent years. But when the Wu-Tang Clan comes together, they still bring a love for the culture and for their brotherhood.

WU TANG FOREVER
Big up from germany
Beautiful GOD watching everything you do.
Blessings forever beautiful GOD and Jesus loves y'all forever. teach everyone you know and don't know.
There's something deeply charming about watching an elderly Wu-Tang Clan, sipping coffee and finding their collective rhythm together - no pressure, no pretense, just remerging who they all are together, with the addition of a violinist and cellist to make the whole experience fresh.
Cappa and Deck especially could be dudes in my neighborhood cigar shop, just chilling and enjoying their evening.
Irish coffee
How how old do you think elderly is? You're making me feel old over here hahaha
Elderly? My dude, elderly is like 80 yrs old. These ppl are middle aged
I dont think that coffee lol
This is a historical event! Don’t miss this!
Thank you NPR 🙏🏽 Respect
You're a dipshit! Wu tang fell off soooo bad that they now perform in book stores imbecile
OD's TwinBrother PABLO it’s cliche..but YOOOOO I CLICKED THIS LIKE A MFING NINJA GOD!

@@truthhurts79 Man shut your bitch ass up that shit was dope....
THAT violin lady really took it to another level.
She is out of control
swear i came down to comments to say just that.. goosebumps
And the bass though
Yeah I'd love to give her a half Puerto Rican beige baby!
What a name her?
It's cool how YDB embraced the persona of his father 💯
This moment is going to be remembered
Wu tang ! Omg
Suuuuuuuuu! Clan in da front!👐🏾
ditto Adri, well said
@@dozer30 Let your feet stomp!
Nah ghost aint there its. Not the same
@@Irregular_maintenance It was still good!
This is why NPR Tiny Desk concerts are awesome. Insanely good variety, always solid choices. Thank you.
How stoked is the violinist?! Unforgettable gig, so good.
One might even say she's "stroked" ...I'm sorry I'll just show my self out.
JoeEnigma I ❤️ corny jokes!
as soon as I had that thought I seen this fucking god is real
I would flex this video so hard lol
5 years late but just found this. RZAs freestyle set to music was amazing
Bruh...... i'm 5 YEARS LATE TOO...smh
This is the closest to a modern day MTV Unplugged. Wu Tang killed it!
There were 100 unplugs and there is already over 800 tiny desk but unplugged was a longer format. Many of us wish that tiny desk would allow more long form performances.
Holding back the tears. WU is for the kids. LEGENDS.
Wu tang a force to respect
For anyone who cares to read; I remember hearing the verse at 17:52 "working hard helps ya maintain, learning to overcome your heart-aches and pain" when I was around 14 (2010) and dealing with a suicide in the family and general confusion in life, it's crazy how that little piece of advice helped me out so much. In saying that, it's interesting how Inspektah Dek changed the lyrics at 18:06 : "to kick the truth to the worldwide youth" instead of "young black youth" because Wu Tang influenced me and I was a young Australian dropkick, going to show that they honestly did kick the truth to the worldwide youth, if ya feel me.
Anyway thought I'd write that down...
this is great mate, hope you’re doing well.
Hope all is well brother wu tang forever 💛
✊🏾
✊🤝👊🤲👏
I feel ya homie, Thanks for sharing ;)

You accidentally put "sometimes" where the period goes in that sentence.......

Father: Turn this off.
Me: why, dad ?
Father: we've got bigger speakers downstairs.
Cringe
Yeah nah Chief
Mint😭👌🏾👍🏾
Lol
i only want to get a kid now just to do this
Imagine getting the call, “Can you play violin for the Wu-Tang Clan?” *mind blown 🤯*
YOOO 😤😤😤 What's so crazy is that I just observed sis' w/the violin boppin' to 🎶 WU TANG THAT'S WHASSUP 🎶 and then read your comment right after 😂😂😂👐🏾👐🏾👐🏾 TOO iLL!!! 💯
Righttt😂
And then they say "yes, yes I can do that", and they nail it. Props to the bass player as well, I play bass and it looks easy but it is not.
That's Dr. Chelsea Green (violin) and The Green Project. Classical applications on modern soul/hip hop/r&b is their specialty
Well the next level of mind blowing is getting asked to play for a Rap using classical instrument in one try in front of the public for the first time.
She tried poking the guy that was sitting, but he didn't start the instrument. Eventually she took the lead, and then they nailed it. She is really really good
Damn I wish Meth was there. RIP ODB... YDB did him proud
thats all YDB does. Im waiting to hear a song form Barson ON HIS OWN, that doesn't involve ODB... is that too much for me to ask?????
I saw them in Boston last summer and he wasn’t there either... busy man lol
Please could you tell me the title of the instrumental on which RZA raps?
@@FelicityGemini YDB has put out his own albums of original stuff
@@maxh9579 mmk
U_God's voice is exactly like when he is recording. Underrated MC
Ya Imo i thought he sounded the best.
His voice is 😍👐🏾Buttah...
One of the most if not thee most recognizable voices in hiphop
@Christopher Burke 7:20 and 10:55
The Golden arms
I wish Meth was there.
Earl Rogers underrated reply
@Earl Rogers Lmao Yooooooo
MIKE P COLT facts bro. He was the first one I was looking to see if was there
Only meth was there was the meth in the all of the white people's pockets. But they all good, if they get caught with it they'll for sure get a lighter punishment than a black person being caught with crack. 😔
yeah me too man when RZA play bring the pain I was hoping Meth came outta nowhere to shock the crowd but didn't happen damn it lol
GZA always seems like he's marinating on some deep philosophical-scientific stuff in his mind while being ever present in the moment and of his surroundings.. truly one of a kind. WU Forever
Tiny Desk is literally the best music show of all time. I've always listened to a very broad range of music so getting Wu Tang from the same place that I get everything from Chris Stapleton to Natalia Lafourcade to anderson.paak is amazing. It let's me know that there are so many other people that simply enjoy good music as much as I do, no matter the genre. Keep doing what you're doing, you're beyond appreciated.
CL couldn’t say it any better man.🙌🏻
@JohnnyGotHisGun How? They're mostly well established acts. I'm actually a huge metal fan as well as EDM, but neither really fit the venue so I'm fine that they're not on here. Why do some people feel it necessary to go to a comment section just to complain?
CL e
well said man
Word
Odb’s son doin an amazing job. Almost like he’s still here😢
I know… it’s amazing how he just channeled his dad like that…
I find him hard to watch I think he just needs to be him and not try to be dirty
@@dwaynebeamon5105 yeah I agree.. He trying too hard
i said the same thing, it’s crazy
Yessir! ODB would be proud!
Man we'll never see a group of MC's like this again.
the closest in terms of a group that we have right now is brockhampton
I once saw BrockHampton at a festival and they kept screaming " we the coolest boyband in the world" so not really
Luke Thomas shut the fuck up man lol
An elite group of men right here indeed...WUUU TAAANG WUUU TANG!!!
Never say never.
Woke up and seen this like "Word!?!" Pressed play and been on my Shaolin shit since. NPR thank you for this more than anything. On rotate all day! Only DOOM would move me more...
SUPERVILLIAN!!!!!!!!
If Phife was still alive Tribe would be incredible
And Meth?
#respect brother! DOOOoooom!
@@THE_STRANGER116 absolutely berzerk wordplay. My favorite MC of all time.
my favorite part of this is how much the violinist was into every song played. either she was playing the song or vibing to it!
That violin lady is genius! So many great parts, and that last improv at the end was amazing!!!
Young dirty killed this! RIP ODB 🖤
Just doesn’t hit the same without him
@@tomalcolmPerhaps not but it’s SO MUCH better than it has any right to be. Nobody else could do it. He really kills it, filling his father’s shoes.
His rhymes weren't in time with the song.
@@Nebula37
Yes they were. Dunno what your ears are hearing. It’s really syncopated but it’s all in time.

The pbs exec talks about throwing people in concentration camps on video and you think its crazy because this is the soft soothing voice waterfall sound station and you probably think gates couldn't hurt a fly because he always wears a pink sweater and think its absolutely crazy to think otherwise They got you right where tgey want you
The last RZA verse brought tear to my eyes! Almost 30 years later and its the same essence!
I aint smiled so hard in years as when young Dirty jumped on the desk !!!!
You can tell Raekwon and GZA love Young Dirty
the end was insane, never heard anything like it.
magical!
It was great. It reminded me of when i got only built for cuban linx and listened to the whole album front to back. I got to the last track and thought it was just a papa wu skit, but there was that last dart that was the icing on the cake.
I see your point I think the stings go really well with it. RZA is probably my favourite though with Ghost and Meth so I might be bias
Brolick Scholar you’re smokin
Y u watch it then .. it wasn’t like he did anything different from the past 20yrs so y watch if ur not a fan .. ooooooo cuz ur a hater got it ur bias opinion is wrong and go kick rocks .. RZA. IS A GOD MC U GOOFY
Maybe I've gotten soft, but RZA pulled tears from my face on that last joint. Respect. Wu-Tang Forever!!
nothing wrong with crying bro... crying is a therapeutic release that your body must do once a while if not often, never bottle up emotion because when the bottle begins to over flow... nothing good comes out of that. You crying shows that your subconsciously getting even more comfortable with who you are as a person and that's a glorious thing!
Iron Fists can have tears
It felt like ODB was alive and back in the group again. Great job YDB!
Damn RZA should make one whole concert only with the strings and base, this was tight af. I´m feelin it!!!
Raekwan's energy cuts through. He's got the gift.
raekwon has such a powerful presence when he spits its crazy. missing ghost and method in this session, but still an absolute treat!
I was thinking where's method 🤔
I was shocked they went for glaciers of ice without ghost
Fun fact. I used to live right next to Raekwon back when I was in high school. Was a really cool guy. I’ll never forget walking down the hallway and him asking me “what’s my name?” And me replying “Raekwon the chef” 😂 good times man
Could you do everyone a favor and list off who is rapping from what time to when?
RZA is behind the table. Raekwon w the green jacket & coffee. U god w sunglasses. Cappadonna in white n blue. GZA sitting behind a lot in black. Baby Jesus is Ol dirty s son w the weaves. Camouflage jacket is Masta Killa.
YDB gives me the chills, his father really lives through him!!
"Npr in the description"
Setlist :
Classic
Apt description😂😂
Thank you for not sensoring! Love you guys!!
19:12 - For those musicians to improvise an instrumental one that actually sounded good and find his timing all at once... yoooo props to y'all... that shit would of been hella difficult especially how he started his written
They are older but still can flow just like in the years gone back and doing it live like on record! And Young Dirty just doing what the late ODB did when he was alive.
Love that all the underrated Wu-Tang dudes are here. U-God, Masta, Inspectah and Capp don't get the respect they deserve. GZA is in the same boat too sometimes. Also YDB kills it obviously.
I feel like wu is one of those groups folks can’t compare who better tho they give each other flowers cause they brothers but each member style so different that it’s hard to say who better cause each member rap like they part of a machine but still hold they own I always thought capp and U-god was dope cause u god voice alone is dope but also he got bars that sound like hydrogen bombs and then capp flow is just crispy I know he must’ve crushed mad MCs In his hay day
Cappadonna Black boy!!!
Deck is known for being arguably the best to open a track in the history of hip hop. He gets that respect. Gza is known for being one of the strongest lyricists of all time. He gets that respect. No argument on the rest. Masta was always a personal favorite of mine. Loved his off-kilter rhyme schemes, great lyrics (Gza disciple) and awesome voice.
Inspectah really has some of the most timeless verses... Triumph and CREAM are legendary.
Constantly amazed how well hip-hop holds up to this format
That's the foundation.
hip hop does for sure .. rap not really
If you speaking on Tiny Desk i agree...all genres have had their moments...but i changed my mind in Tyler based on his concert basically ignored him he has some nice cuts admittedly
Terry Manning I’m not, Hip-Hop is just like any other genre/art form. I’ve seen artists adding live musicians to shows for years.
djaywrek Live music of any genre is always the best. Just surprised how well it works in the Tiny Desk format.
Man, in retrospect, U-God added so much to the Clan. His flow is kind of a signature, unique flow of the crew.
Psychopathic thinker
His performance on Forever is flawless. He spit some of the hardest verses
Check his book too. Good read
His flow also aged really well
@@Olhado256 his voice just really stood out. Its not like i was checking for his verses but every time he came on, he stood out.
Legends. These guys have more flows than Niagara Falls. Never forget seeing them at the o2 Academy Brixton. One of the illest concerts I ever been to.
I love how everyone knows each other's punch lines
Well they've only been performing these songs for 30 years 😁
Wu Tang vibe so strong , it immediately takes you back to that Era every single time.
rap like this doesn't exist no more. pure and raw.
I’m a 40 year old white guy. I’m a CNA (Care taker) and one patient I have is an older black man - military vet- he was hard to get him to trust me or to accept me- we bonded over some wu tang clan today- he was surprised I knew every Lyric! his Eyes went wide and smiled as we both went back and fourth ( I’m a nerdy white guy - but that’s just my style cover - rocked Fila and cross colors in my youth! Wu tang - bringing people together! It was a great moment !
so you're not only appropriating black culture, you think it's ok to openly brag about it? also, easy on the white saviour sauce

I'm mad that MF DOOM Tiny Desk Concert didn't happen :(
Didn't know I needed that in my life till I read this. Yeah... really sad. RIP to the Supervillain
@@marcusburrell1906 Bro I was looking for it and waiting before I heard the news, but I guess we caught NPR lacking
He was kicked out of the usa so it would’ve only happened if they went to him
Doom was banned entry from the US. I don't think he was legally living in the US when he was in the US.
You know he aint coming then, he will hire a look a like
I remember when these guys were not famous at all and performed at this club in NYC I was at with my boys. Only hard core NY hip-hop heads knew about them at the time. After their performance everyone in the club was like "Who ARE these guys? They crazy, but kinda ill.". A fight eventually broke out in the club and the party was done. If I recall, rapper Akinyele was there too. NYC original home of hip-hop. The 80's and 90's in NY were special for rap music.
It was the Golden era. Best era of hip-hop if you ask me.
@@Girlforaction Yup. The Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito tapes I still have help me flash back to them good ol days. But I'm not hatin' on the young cats. All music evolves. Do your thing youngins.
That's funny they been throwin wild shows so long. Someone got carried out at the show I went to before they even hit the stage
Crazy to think they were doing shows with RATM back in the day. They were really transcendent as a hip-hop act. There's some old MTV footage of them together somewhere on youtube.
Wish I were there that night...
I named my nephew, Raekwon and he is SUCH a lil' gentleman.... Absolutely the BEST AND FOREVER WILL BE THE #1 RAP GROUP OF ALL TIME.
8:28 you can see even Raekwon was amazed by YDB’s bit there. Can’t stop watching this. Super legends
He has his dads body language for sure
He reached out to get a feel of energy.
I love that almost every person likes YDB, and he DOES have his fathers swagger, but he's more positive/flamboyant. Which is great, i dont want 2 exact copies
@@mackavelly what is the name of the song
he kilt it man he was in tune #100
This is hip hop in its purest form. Beats and lyrics. No catchy hooks, no autotune, no R&B. Just bars.
And we know what they're saying.
Real talk...
Wu tang forever ya herdme
Thank you!!! Just got done commenting on some whack Migos wanna be cipher...
Leonardo Raymundo no r&b lol r&b has been part of rap since the beginning. Rappers starting off with funk music beats in the beginning
now just get MF Doom on and y'all can retire.
That would be insane 👍🏾
Thats what dreams are made of
M.O.P. would be krazy too!
He probably just send a doombot
Facts up inna de place fam
Its 2023 and I am still coming back to watch the WU ❤🔥🔥❤🔥🔥
Just seeing all these boys together again, smilin' an havin' fun like that,
Dang, dude
Made me smile, too

Nearly 4 years late for me, and same. Best ever.
Not sure if you’ve seen the new Scarface tiny desk? Banging
That boy look just his daddy. RIP ODB🕊️🕊️🕊️
U-God is criminally underrated.
🙌 Mr Xcitement
U God is dope
always has been
he has his moments, but to collect his entire body of work on wutang alone he has few memorable verses. I want to like him more but he released that Black shampoo song..
Lover,and Raekwon was the coldest💯
I always had a deep and profound respect for Wu-Tang and have always gravitated toward GZA. He's just so quiet and methodical. Not pushing himself to the front. Just watching what's going on around him and feeling the vibes. Wu-Tang forever.
♥️💯
Recently saw him live, and just learned he's also an astro-physicist 😮 the man is impressive in many ways
Liquid Swords is still one of my favorite solo albums
Ghostface is my guy, but really...I dont think there's an incorrect answer. Concerning all 9...
MY cousin is brilliant
U-God has such a cool tone. It's like he has mid EQ boost plugin built into his throat.
WuTang Clan FOREVER🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥met them 30 years in Paris !!!! I will never forget this night!!!!
👐🏾👐🏾👐🏾 wish Meth n Ghost were there..
FLYxHighDJs Entertainment
Absence felt for sure ✌🏼
Ghost
Probably was filming that Teyana Taylor video
@@gundm_9845 possibly.. good point. That song (both versions) and that video is dope
FLYxHighDJs Entertainment i figured also because raekwon was supposed to be in that video too but wasn't lol
Finally, a combination of my two great loves: Wu-tang, and NPR
NPR = fake news
RZA kills it at the end 🔥 🔥 and the green project drop some heavy beat to rock with it 👐 For the children
Fantastic show! I love watching Cappadonna just smiling the whole time, Raekwon is having fun... the guys are just having a good time. Inspectah Deck and U-God sound great.
RZA's final freestyle with the string backup was haunting.
If his solo album was nothing but that, it would still be greater than 99% of the garbage that's released today.
So happy I grew up in the 90's.
We Need PT. 2, Thank you NPR 🙏🏽 Respect, WU-TANG IS FOR THE CHILDREN!! REAL HIP HOP !!!!
The strings putting on the perfect melody for rza at the end is evidence of the vibe wu tang creates
These cats changed my life when I first heard them in the early 90’s. It’s so good to see them still making music. RIP ODB.
Me too.
Tch, damn lucky, I'm from the 20th century, so I only found them (Wu-Tang Clan) on accident through high school... when checking out japanese themed raps or video...
I'm saying I'm Jealous. ~Grey
Yooooooo... Master Killa has always been so enlightened.
"The track renders helpless.. Suffers multiple stab wounds, leaking sounds that's heard 93 million miles away from came one to represent the nation... Light is provided through sparks of energy from the mind that travels in rhyme form; giving sight to the blind. The dumb are mostly intrigued by the drum..." That verse was just as ill as Deck's opening statement (which is also BANANAS!!!)
His very first line ever written was light years ahead and better than most (even the woke MCs) in the history of the trade.
"Homicide's illegal and death is a penalty. (so) What justifies the homicide when he dies in his own iniquity?
yea he's super underrated and gets overlooked because his style is not very exciting, but lyrically he is dope.

A lot of people never really knew how nice U-god was on the mic.
He got lost in the shuffle when Wu dropped their debut bcuz he got locked up during recording.
He admitted he had to step up his own skills when he got out bcuz during his lockdown the other members had stepped up theirs.
impossible was the best song on the record and he came off wild nice
I come back to this when I am having a rough time. Wu is for the children!
How can Hip Hop be dead if Wu Tang is forever ♥

The look on Raekwon’s face to the GZA when Young ODB goes off is priceless...so proud from 8:22 to 8:43
That was a dope moment
Good eyes mann...i never saw that. Probably cause they remember when he was a just a kid and now they see him on stage repping his pops. That made their day
That violin just cutting through the middle and simultaneously holding it all together
Amazing

They need to record this C.R.E.A.M. version!! Sounds more dark and oriental somehow with the instruments on top. Really really good!!!
No Method so not OG to me
LOTTA CHILLS FROM THE BEGINING OF THIS SET. watching these OG's rock together so hard is something special.
Imagine If ODB was here🤯🤯
RIP 😔
ydb done good though his dad would be proud at how far hes come off his own back has never used him to get famous eva!
He was “resurrected GOD through birth”
he would try and steal the stage
HIs son paid homage to his pops Respect fool

Remember when I would listen to NPR as a teen for jazz and news info, a young emcee from my hood heavily influenced by hip-hop never thought things would make it this far and further to come. God bless the Wu-Tang
