Everybody loves the Wu Tang Clan. People who despise hip hop are always like "Yea, but I love Wu-Tang Clan. M-E-T-H-O-D Man! Protect Ya Neck. Heh Heh." Their crossover appeal is large and in charge, which is why every so often, when the wallets get a little skinny, they rent a bus and a huge entourage and go on tour.
Another one is planned for August. I guess the wallets have been decreasing in size a bit faster than usual, so this is their second tour this year. Peronally, I'd rather see Ghostface on another extensive solo outing, but what can you do. I'm sure hearing "C.R.E.A.M." in person is exciting enough. Or maybe not, as reviews of the last tour were disappointing at best.
Hopefully the Clan has their shit together this time. RZA, whip those boys into shape! Otherwise you're in store for a long month.

Yeah I got my tix already, getting the whole Wu to a show has proven to be a very elusive propostion.
But I figured if they do actually show and I didn't go, I'd be way pissed.
I have seen both RZA and Ghostface recently and they put on an amazing show.
yeah, fuckin' a. Houston is the 4th largest city in the nation and one of the biggest black communities anywhere with the addition of Katrina evacuees....not to mention us whitey's that love the shit, too. Shame on a nigga, indeed.
