August 3, 2006It is impossible to convey in a review what the experience of this show was and, for those in attendance, still is. Let me paint the picture: It was a cold night, but inside the venue, it was hot and sticky as Atlanta in the Summer. This was the first ever Rock the Bells shows and the line up promised a reunion of the entire Wu-Tang for the first time in 10 years. The place was filled to capacity, standing room only almost as big as a football field. I was up front and it felt like I was at a metal show the way the crowd was swaying. Supernatural did his thing, Nu-Mark and Chali Tuna handled theirs, Eyedea, with a broken arm, & Abilities ripped it , Sage Francis basically got booed off the stage, Dilated took a long time to get to their hit song and Redman nearly caused a fire with his performance. Then the wait began. Over an hour we stood their with background music, swaying like ripples in an ocean. Sway took the stage, attempting to quell the crowds doubts about the Wu even showing up. For a half an hour, poor Sway stood in front of the lions. People started shouting, " F--k Sway, f--k MTV." Sway snapped and disappeared. Then he came back and finally announced who we all came to see. The tail end of his address can be heard at the beginning of the disc. The lights shut out and there they stood: the Rza, the Gza, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Inspectah Deck, Raekwon the Chef, U-God, Ghostface Killah and the Method Man. Whomever complained about these guys finishing each other's lines is a toy. You could see the mutual respect and admiration in the eyes of these cats as they looked at each other. It wasn't some anonymous Wu side-project cat finishing someone's line, it was Meth, it was Ghostface, it was all of them. The DVD and CD are consolation prizes for those of you who could not be there, be grateful they were released. You know these songs, you already own them. But I was there, in a sea of heads who knew all the words like me, who had been down since '92 when kids made fun of me in 6th grade because I listened to what they thought was Chinese rap. If you're thinking of getting this as an introduction or a "greatest hits", don't get it. This is for the heads that know the Wu-Tang Clan and it was the last time, and for many the only time, for anyone to experience them as a whole.
November 30, 2005Now when i got this cd i didn't notice it was a live cd. When i got home i gave it a chance and it was really, really good. They have a alot of my favorites like "shame on a *****" and "c.r.e.a.m." and thats just naming a couple. Wu-tang did a really good job live. They rap well on this one definetly get this one for your collection. Wu-tang forever RIP Russell jones(ol' dirty bastard).
June 28, 2005The simple fact is this: if your brain is currently melting, then you should get a refrigerator. Honestly. Otherwise, buy this CD and it will keep your brain from melting; that is to say it has the same effect as a refrigerator, but hopefully you hid your fate yer not gonna comprehend what I say. Does that fill you with dismay? It may. So go out and play and don't delay before I turn into a horse and eat some hay, or turn into a donkey and bray and ask to bask in the sun's rays, because some day I shall pay, but first I must rehearse and jump into the fray, okay? Because it has to be that way. And I'll stay, trust me because I may, and there was a rebellion caused by Shay, Kilimanjaro starts with "k," or kay, and Elton John is gay.
HoyhoyhoyhoyhoyHEY! And now the colors fade to grey. Yep. And Avril is THE PIMP. That is to say, if there was a female version of a pimp, then she would be that. a pimpess. or a pimpette. or a pimpa (Mexican style).
