    This show gives life to the lifeless and sight to the blind. Let's pray it stays on for 10 seasons and goes thru the making of all the group and iconic solo albums, I don't want it to ever end. This show saved Hulu service and made it viable.

      If you copped that at NSU in ‘94 you gonna love Episode 7. Divine mentions that he got Gary down in Virginia(Norfolk) who I believe that it’s Power’s brotha. It’s another Gary from Norfolk that I’m not gonna put out his full name out but he was really close and affiliated with them but I know he wasn’t in with them that early. So this is why I say it’s Power’s brotha. If you look at the back of the 36 Chambers album in big yellow letter they give a S/O to Born and Crew in Norfolk Va. who is Daddy O. On the album if you listen to the first 1:19 seconds of Clan in da Front you would hear the RZA say to my niggas in Va. Daddy O and Popa Ron. Daddy O is the RZA cousin and also in Episode 7 the GZA mentioned about a street team he got in Va.. The Wu was deep and big in Va with two Wu Wear stores,studio’s and also on the independent label Wu Tang Records the Wu Syndicate who Myalansky is from Portsmouth Va. but that is much later much more later

    Their conversation about Inspectah Deck really made me remember and took me back to my teenage years. When I first got introduced to Wu Tang before I knew about their history and impact. For me as a kid listening to their music, Inspectah Deck was my favorite. As an adult I low ball forgot that Deck used to be my favorite.
    That's a great thing about The Wu. They have so many dope rappers that as time goes on you start to appreciate different aspects of each one and your favorite can change.

    I grew up in a strict West Indian household in the 80s, not allowed to listen to hip hop. As I got older, I got more exposed to some gems but still wasn't a fan of true hip hop (too many b**ch and h*e references, violence and drug dealing).
    I knew Wu Tang was very important to hip hop (they literally put Staten Island on the map), I just didn't know how important.
    This show opened my eyes completely to the real struggle Wu Yang went through. I have a whole new respect for them now, it unbelievable. As far, as RZA, he was like a father to the fatherless in way in the crew. It had to be difficult to make all your brothers trust you and believe that you have their back, while all of them barely had food on their tables at the time.
    Shout out to the 5% nation (I am a proud 🌎) for giving them that foundation to believe in themselves and each other, to keep the unified and squash old beefs.
    The episode when they were building the studio in RZA's apartment and Raekwon re-built the baby crib for Ghostface and the episode where RZA set them straight on the ferry.
