@@seekerundue Indeed, but you get older, priorities change, you put em on the shelf (though I did see them live last yr), so now it's kind of like I'm getting to know them again, slightly more personally.
spainman2020 same man. Listening to all the best group and solo albums, watching the Hulu show and watching interviews here. Check out the drink champs episode with them.
yeh that's Ari Melber man he's a true hiphop fan. If you watch his news show, every now and then he just randomly incorporates known rap lyrics into his commentary and its hilarious!!!
I could listen to Masta Killa speak all day!! He doesn't say much, but when he talks he says A LOT and you HAVE to listen. Some people talk a lot and say NOTHING!!
Its so dope that the interviewer was like a kid in a candy store. Knew the verses, the songs, the history on a platform as big as this network is. It pleases me to no end to see hip hop, Wu in particular, go from the basement to the penthouse to the Manhattan rooftop garden interview on daytime TV. Sheesh!!! We all dreamed this art form could blossom but to SEE it...WOW!!!
This is the best hip-hop interview ever. From interviewer asking real questions AND letting them speak. To the content of what they were speaking about. To every member having their own voice and being respectful and respected. W
Thanks! Ari, for bringing these guys on to tell their story. Bless their souls. Thanks Wu-Tang, for sharing your story. This has meaning and will help many. Cant wait to see the film.
The way these guys instinctively know when to make space for each other conversationally is part of the magic, like a cypher with each emcee knowing when their bars are gonna hit hardest
Please curb the racist comments in this thread. Using words like thug is not cool. These men are helping people see their truth and helping others with their story.. Be kind.
@@gliza Yes. Their music reflects their life experiences. They have grown and so has their words. I worked as a producer of rap at a indy label. I heard some really raw stuff. Offensive as a women These guys are helping others with their music right now. Bless their souls. Stop racist comments.
I love the love they have for each other. You can tell that no matter what quarrels they may have had in the past, Wu-Tang will always be solidified by their bond through their experiences before and during their music. I love it all
Product of their environment. A lotta street smart knowledge to survive, strongest bond on the streets. Gotta have each other’s back in order to survive and one up out of the hood.
@@DrGetgood I disagree. It showed poor taste. It lacked any type of journalistic integrity. The entire interview is trash now because of that one indefensible slipup. The Wu-Tang deserved much more than that. They are legends.
'an unspotted life on the mic is old age'..gza already spoke about in older godz what rza mentions..getting older means you've done something right at least. It's a blessing.
How do you know he is a true fan of Hip Hop? He's a journalist, he's supposed to have an idea of what he's interviewing about. What's Fox News got to do with this interview?
im a wu tang fan. been for the past 23 years, but i disagree with your comments' reference to Fox News. Fox News doesn't have any journalists who do these types of interviews. MSNBC is more mainstream and has a different style than Fox News. this doesnt mean i like this guy Ari just because I'm a Wu fan. you don't know who @ Fox News was a Wu fan back in the day. It's all about relevance and context.
Great interview. Great questions. "White America tells the black mans story. Scared of the Black man. Ignorance. Love the talk about Stress. Stress kills us. We are expected to be Strong. We cant be weak. We cant cry. We cant release. Well im glad that is changing. I would hope that we can start speaking more, crying more, releasing anger in a positive way. WU!!!!!!!!!
I was born in 1980 and grew up on 90’s rap. The Wu were on a different level then everyone else from 94-98. They were the most coveted rappers. Especially Method Man.
WOW MYSTERY OF CHESSBOXIN IS MASTA KILLAS FIRSE VERSE EVERRR!!!!!!!!! Wow wow wow. And yes IMPOSSIBLE was lyrically brilliant!!!! “Fusion of the five elements......”
My favorite Wu joint...CHROME WHEELS...WOKE UP THIS MORNING SMOKE SOME STICKY GREEN TO GET ME STARTED CHOCOLATE TYE ALL IN MY EYE IM NEVA BROKEN HEARTED..💜.AHH MEMEORIES YO!!!
These Dudes Done It Bigger Than Any Artist Out There. These Dudes Took Hip Hop International. Now Looking At That Wu Emblem Is Like Looking At The Jordan Symbol Nike Symbol Gucci Symbol Etc Etc
The Hulu series got me on an all things Wu Tang on TH-cam bringe 😁
spainman2020 yea but u already knew about Wu before so it kinda isn't as good nawmsayin.

💯
Dope interview. The interviewer was clearly a WU fan growing up.
Or he just studies all hip hop as part of his 'job'? To keep in touch with the culture so he can play his evil Mockingbird Media games on The People.
Yes he listens to hip hop.
yeh that's Ari Melber man he's a true hiphop fan. If you watch his news show, every now and then he just randomly incorporates known rap lyrics into his commentary and its hilarious!!!
@@9thchamber499 they never do their homework properly enough
@@9thchamber499 no imbecile, he knows hip-hop! You are the evil one!
I love how masta killa nods his head and goes “mhhmmm” anytime someone drops some wisdom. 😂😂 love these guys
I could listen to Masta Killa speak all day!! He doesn't say much, but when he talks he says A LOT and you HAVE to listen. Some people talk a lot and say NOTHING!!
Word up
Dare I compare to Silent Bob of Wu-Tang
Hugo Sandoval that’s a good one
True

Yet he ruined it at the end. "Anybody got a crime they want to confess?" He lost all respect after that....
@@bake30 Late reply, but I think he was saying that's what some folks do in his interviews. He didn't seem to be asking them to.
@@bearchild4459 oh okay. Great insight by you.
Your very positive, and correct I suppose. Good for them .peace
Ari is a noted WU fan
The knowledge of this group is why I love all of them. Wu tang is for the children. Wu tang clan forever.
Ghost’s hoodie is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
How can hip hop be dead if Wu Tang is forever!👐
Well Said Brotha! No doubt I'm loving this Sh!t right here The Wu kicking some knowledge.
Indeed
It is dead...but wu tang is still here only a few will understand...people are zombies for the most part
st3chilly maccabee Royce da 5’9, NF, Hopsin, Joyner lucas, Joell Ortiz, Immortal technique, Logic, Tech N9Ne, it’s not dead.
Brandon Diaz Dead Prez still puts out records. Hip hop is doing just fine.
This is the best hip-hop interview ever. From interviewer asking real questions AND letting them speak. To the content of what they were speaking about. To every member having their own voice and being respectful and respected. W
He said there names with so much soul
Blessed ears bro! I caught that! 💯
Ari knows his hip hop!
...."The truth about life is if your not gettin' older ...your dead." ...that's wisdom...Peace Rza
Deck's verse on Triumph is probably one of the most well known verses in hip hop history.
Thanks! Ari, for bringing these guys on to tell their story. Bless their souls. Thanks Wu-Tang, for sharing your story. This has meaning and will help many. Cant wait to see the film.
The conversation in this interview is SO important

Thanks Ari for bringing WuTang to the roof, this was awesome to see and hear
I just felt like odb was going 2 say ooooooooohhhh at the intro....man I miss odb
Kush X
R.I.P.
😢
They turned their backs on odb when he got in trouble , never even visited him in prison and played him with his contract .
I know, he was very smart as well, like quirky.
@@mikeanderson3762 oh I remember that. Why? That must of been a very dark time for him. RIP ODB
15:25 J. Cole segment
'Every 20 years there'll be an artist [J.Cole] that gets it [old/new hiphop] both'
i need this bruh!!
"Impossibe" is one of my favorite Wu-bangas
"Fusion of the five elements to search for higher intelligence"
My favorite Wu track ever.. Ghostthagoat his verse is Legend
Wu-Banga is one of my favorite Wu Bangas🤣🤣🤣
Rza picking "Impossible" as his favorite made my night 👐🏾
RZA always gives me that inspiration that I need!
Much needed positivity, thank you! 💙💙💙
30 years later - these legends are now like grey wolves - older, but still dangerous in a collective.
R.I.P. ODB!!!🎵🎵🎵🎧🎧🎧🎤🎤🎤💗💗💗🙏🙏🙏
These dudes got me through so Rough times deadass
Where is Gza the genius? The human dictionary.
Where is he? GZA The GENIUS IS A REAL DICTIONARY AND A TRUE SCIENTIST OF THE WORDS
He’s always busy teaching now, mainly in colleges. Jester Valentine, peace!
Rza also says he’s on tour this time
He's probably teaching a class at some University back east! Prof. GZA
Not just the Gza, but Where's meth? I noticed that once it showed the whole group. I was like "that ain't all of 'em."
What a great interview the interviewer knew mad WU tunes, so dope
Yet he ruined it at the end. "Anybody got a crime they want to confess?" He lost all respect after that....
@@bake30 it was a joke lol
Learn some social skills
@@DrGetgood I disagree. It showed poor taste. It lacked any type of journalistic integrity. The entire interview is trash now because of that one indefensible slipup. The Wu-Tang deserved much more than that. They are legends.
Rza defo achieved his goal of making a movie outta every album every song is a movie of real raw life unfiltered!
'an unspotted life on the mic is old age'..gza already spoke about in older godz what rza mentions..getting older means you've done something right at least. It's a blessing.
Who would thumps down a legendary group in an engaging conversation with substance.
Ari is a true fan of hip hop and wu tang clan and this is one reason I can watch his show. I also watch others and stay away from fox news.
How do you know he is a true fan of Hip Hop? He's a journalist, he's supposed to have an idea of what he's interviewing about. What's Fox News got to do with this interview?
Great interview. I wish Cappadonna was given the opportunity to speak more. Great interview.
I instantly loved the karate theme in wu tang. It's a mystical vibe.
Been a fan since early 90's.
Wu tang forever.
Kung Fu...not Karate.
Not even TBC could get these legends together! Epic work team Melber!
Lol I love this interview. Interviewer was vibin with the Wu! Lmao.. Ghost was laughin when he said “Bring the Effin Ruckus!”🤣🤣🤣
Ghost was super high!!! 😂
@@mauricemartin7026 lol yeah he was😂
I remembered everybody in 1993 would say "rap is not music ,its just talking " . This was a big thing. I got in allot of fights because i liked rap.
When I see and hear all the pop hop from today's music I just dig into my Wu- Playlist hip hop is not death because Wu-Tang is forever 👍🏽
I'm obsessed with the new wave generation being put on tracks with the old school. Nas, Gang Starr, Wu Tang... Much respect.
Such a beautiful interview 🙏🏾
i know this has to be a pet project for Ari to bring hip-hop and wu-tang interviews out into a light and god bless him for it
Wu-Tang has DEPTH and have always been unapologetically themselves. That’s why they so interesting.
Grateful for this interview! kudos Ari Melber!! Melber--you are a HIP HOP HEAD...I hear it in your voice....haha
Rza is so right about Impossible , one of the greatest Wu tracks ... one of the best Ghost lyrics ever
love ghost so humble and aware and knows when to and when not to speak
Lmao at U-God hatin on chess after Masta Killah gave you his heartfelt story on why he loves it... 😁 😁 😁 09:06
Imagine if Fox News had interviewed The Wu 😂

Yeah, Rza made some brilliant points. Gotta learn how to manage that energy in a peaceful/positive/productive way!
True that's one good thing that will come from this
Ari got the best interview.
The way Ghostface looks at Masta when politics is mentioned is like “ you gonna school em” or what?”
U god said he thought the whole kung fu gimmick was wack in another interview! 😂
I was born in 1980 and grew up on 90’s rap. The Wu were on a different level then everyone else from 94-98. They were the most coveted rappers. Especially Method Man.
Great interview. Thanks Ari for bringing the Wu to 30 Roc.
What a great interview. All things Wu.
That was great, comic book nostalgia and everything. Love these people, excellent artists.
Rza dropping so many jewels lord
“I got like 16 names man” lmao🤣
Great interview 🔥
They did a show in Philly with rage back in the 90s .
Best show ever !
WOW MYSTERY OF CHESSBOXIN IS MASTA KILLAS FIRSE VERSE EVERRR!!!!!!!!! Wow wow wow. And yes IMPOSSIBLE was lyrically brilliant!!!! “Fusion of the five elements......”

U-God: "I hate ignorance." *Spends the entire interview mistaking kung fu for karate* Haha. Wu Tang Forever.
@Keith Branch ......??? What lol

I love how U-God and Inspectah deck are reminiscing on the old days lol @17:30
All I can think about is ODB. 😢
I wish they interviewed more rap artists like this. Take the art more seriously!! Explore the minds behind the culture
Rza gives off the best vibes bro.
Great interview. #WUTANG4EVA

Impossible with Ghost, Rza and U God
Put the documentary on Netflix I don't wanna get ShowTime just to watch it
It's on Showbox
I like this interviewer.

MSNBC is life, you can even drop the F bomb lol
Wu-Tang Forever
Nice job Ari in interviewing legends 👍🏾
Great interview. Wu Tang forever!
Just realize ghostface has wu-tang beard

These Dudes Took Hip Hop International. Now Looking At That Wu Emblem Is Like Looking At The Jordan Symbol Nike Symbol Gucci Symbol Etc Etc
Word.. glad they still doing it
@@jestervalentine1036 Amen Brother When They Said Wu-Tang Forever. Guess They Really Meant It
@@CarlosGonzalez-wz8dl Haha I wanna see these dudes rapping in their 60's like rockstars
@@jestervalentine1036 😂😂 Word! Can You Imagine Them 70 Yrs Old Performing "Protect Ya Neck"
Ok, Ari you win. No other member of the pundit class is anywhere near cool enough to bring out the Wu in full force.
Well...4members shy of "full force"
I love this but I really love a man who is full of knowledge and can teach me new things
"The thing about evolution is that any other man sees another man fly we all would fly" rza 🔥🔥🔥
16:35 masta Killa says it best involving the W! Peace to the god!
Good interview Ari
