TRP as Wu-Tang Warrior

[Paul Murphy]

Greg Tate on the Wu-Tang Clan, from the latest issue of the Village Voice:

"Like P-Funk, Public Enemy, Ishmael Reed, and Thomas Pynchon, the Wu aren't
just a band but a context, a self-referencing encyclopedic narrative. Every
particle of noise invites reading as oblique commentary on the whole
program. Whatever the Wu quotes, the Wu consumes and colonizes. You hip to
John Woo or kung fu? Step back, son--that's now the cultural property of
the Wu."

Cheers,
Paul
