Here is what I was waiting for. The Heart Gently Weeps Video. Was it worth the wait? Can we read the family feuds form it? Did it come to late? Could this have saved 8 Diagrams? IS Ghost happy with it or was the geisha’s forehead too big? Is that RZA on the editing? Are we getting more video’s? Is this how you introduce Wu-Tang to a new generation? Where was Meth, Ghost & Rae at? Does it need more Wu? Where does the dancing geisha remind me of?
Looks like both BDR & 8D went kind of flat line. Maybe, just maybe they should have cooperated in re-establishing the Wu-Tang brand. Instead one shot down the left of the chair under the other not knowing they were dangling from the same rope. The helpless cries we witnessed. It was out of our hands once they shifted the focus. Kanye & 50 knew how to push sales. They didn’t with their tremendous track record. What did go wrong?
All well. A lot of new stuff is coming. I am not following that any more. Too many disappointments, last weeks Red & Meth show in Amsterdam not being one of them though. Strike the iron when its hot. It is not that difficult. On that note I’m calling it EPIC FAIL.
Thanks for the video though. It still has a bit of cheap feeling to it. Maybe that’s just GZA’s acting. But finally we got something. You do care. Yet we grew up and drifted away to our own destinies.
JetSet, Good to see your back!! I couldnt agree with you more. But I havn’t given up hope yet, I think that some kind of miracle is going to happen to fix all this shit and solidify the wu legacy.
Hope to see more posts from you JETSET, PEACE!
hmmmm…… for some reason I knew that you would post this video, well actually I thought VDB King would…but anyways…fuck just posting every now and then, the legacy will never die. who cares that they aren’t all in the video..they’re fucking wu-tang fucking clan. The wu-tang ride is far from over!! Just don’t get caught up in all of the record sales bullshit or the haters at wu corp and we’ll all be good!
just think of all the great music we’ve received just over the past year
MOS DEF SILO, PEOPLE TEND TO FORGET ABOUT THAT. AFTER ALL , ITS ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC RIGHT???
good to seee jet set back.
The HGW video is poor. 🙁
Silo has a strong point.
I really doubt there will be a united Wu-Tang effort. It certainly will help all of them as a group, and why not take advantage because working together will not hurt their careers.
Either way it doesn’t matter, I’m just checking for good music. I’m sure many fans will write them off but if they continue to put out good music as a group or individuals, I will check it out.
The video says a lot of things, the absense of the members speaks volumes. The overall treatment for the video is tired.
Many people have written Public Enemy off and do not know that they’re still recording. They’re still touring and have been very successful well after their departure from Def Jam.
hey,man.thanks for sharing this new wu video,after checking,..
i feel the production was kind of weak,
i’m not saying RZA & GZA wasn’t go enough,
but this is a wu tang clan video,
i want Meth,ghost,rae,rza,gza,deck,cap,ugod..
(R.I.P-ODB)
i hope they can get themself back together as Wu Tang Clan…
keep it real.
PEACE,
Well I’m just saying we need to stay positive as wu-tang fans and as hip-hop fans because times are changing. The fact that all the members are not in this video and that it came out months later does not mean that the wu is dying off. Just look at the state of hip-hop right now, people aren’t selling records, and the few that are selling a little (i.e. Rick Ross) are not selling because they are making good music, but rather because they are easily marketed through bullshit gimmicks that will die sooner than later. Def Jam spent a good little bit of money on the “Celebrate” video and how many plays did it get on BET and MTV?? For the state of the hip-hop industry it would not be a smart decision for SRC to pay for a HGW video that is not going to get played on TV when they have artists like AKON on the label to push. I would say that it’s just as likely that Rza and Gza made this video just because they thought it would be kinda fun and Rza probably paid for the whole thing just because he’s into film.
why are my comments not working???

The fact that 8 diagrams and Big Doe didn’t rip the charts and sell 50 gold 60 platinum also does not mean that the Wu is dead or that they fell off because you have to remember that good rap no longer gets promoted and people don’t buy records.
What I’m trying to get at is that at this particular point in time it is up to the fans and word of mouth sell artists. I don’t think the Wu will ever “be on top” again like ’97 but I do know that they are going to keep making good music with a few bad apples every now and then and I know I’m going to keep telling my friends how dope the new DIGI track is and tell them to cop this new wu and that new wu for along time to come.
I hope everyone else will continue to do the same and I hope Jet Set continues with the great site!!
WORD SILO
Man, fuck Wu-Tang
*clenches fists*
I WANNA MAKE LOVE IN THIS CLUB
Pronay is a flimsy faggot
