Masta Killa’s Vegetarian Testimonial and Giveaway
by Patricia Trostle
The Wu-Tang Clan’s Masta Killa wants you to know why he and his son, Eternal, are vegetarians. That’s why they’re starring in peta2’s new vegetarian testimonial video. We’re giving you a chance to win a copy of The Wu-Tang Clan’s latest release, Soundtracks From the Shaolin Temple. So complete the form below to enter.
After skipping the turkey one Thanksgiving 13 years ago and realizing that he didn’t miss it, Masta Killa eliminated flesh from his diet and has never looked back. In fact, helping to put an end to cruelty to animals is something that The Wu-Tang Clan’s most mysterious MC feels very strongly about.
Over the past few years, Masta Killa has helped us spread the word by posing for a print ad urging his fans to “Go Veg … for Life” and by making sure that our leaflets were distributed at his shows. So when we contacted him about our vegetarian testimonial series, he and his adorable son, Eternal, were excited to be a part of it. Check it out!

While growing up, Masta Killa’s grandmother’s dog was always considered a part of the family, and he was taught to love and respect animals from an early age. He is now passing on that love for animals to Eternal. He says, “Now that I’m a parent, I’m teaching my son to love and respect all life too. We don’t think that any creature should have to suffer and die for our dinner when there are so many other foods for us to choose from.”
Masta Killa knows that being vegetarian isn’t just the best thing that you can do to help animals—it’s also good for your health and the planet too. He says that if you don’t want to take his word for it, you should watch the film Eating. Check out what else Masta Killa had to say in this new interview for peta2.

Go Veggie
WU-TANG CLAN rapper MASTA KILLA is encouraging fans to turn vegetarian after joining a campaign by the youth division of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). The star cut out all meat from his diet 13 years ago after he was taught by his grandmother about the importance of respecting animals.
And now he’s looking to inspire a new generation of teens to follow suit, by recording a new public service announcement (PSA) – introducing fans to his four-year-old son, Eternal, who has been vegetarian since birth, reports AllHipHop.com.
In the peta2 campaign, he says, “Growing up, I was taught to love and respect all life. Now that I’m a parent, I’m teaching my son to love and respect all life too. We don’t think that any creature should have to suffer or die for our dinner when there are so many other foods for us to choose from.”
Masta Killa Named Most Animal Friendly Rapper
Wu-Tang Clan member Masta Killa was recently awarded peta2’s Libby Award (short for liberation) for Best Animal-Friendly Hip-Hop Artist.
Peta2 is the world’s largest youth animal rights organization and is an offshoot of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).
Other rappers nominated for the award included dead prez, Sage Francis, K-OS and others. “I’ll do anything that’s going to save animals,” Masta Killa said. “Anytime I can encourage people to think twice before [doing] anything to animals … that’s a good thing.”
The Brooklyn native is also a vegetarian and was featured in a previous peta2 advertising campaign that encouraged people to become vegetarians.
“When it comes to fighting animal abuse, peta2 and Masta Killa are marching to the same beat,” added peta2 Assistant Director Dan Shannon. “Masta Killa is living proof that there’s strength in compassion and that the best thing that you can do for yourself—and for animals—is to go vegetarian.”
Winners will receive plaques and will be featured on the peta2.com website.

MK Thinks People Are Not Ready For 8D
Wu Tang Clan: Interview With Masta Killa
Jan. 09, 2008 The Power Of Perception
by: Patrick Slevin
Six years was the longest period fans had yet to wait for a reconvening of the Wu-Tang Clan, but following some festival plays in 2007, the group released 8 Diagrams last month to a warm reception. Its very anticipation was a breath of fresh air for the hip-hop community that they’ve been such an influential and integral part of, pervading all aspects of the business and art.
Strangely, though, coming out of production, it wasn’t the album Masta Killa thought he and his fellow swordsmen would be releasing. A more reflective listen than what many were expecting to hear, the grand return of the Wu is not the joyous record that might have been expected from the conquering masters of hip-hop.
Their first release without their beloved Ol’ Dirty Bastard, the direction taken on 8 Diagrams was expressly what has made the Wu-Tang Clan unique over the years—their power to create what no one else is. As MK describes, the swordsmen are simply conquering another chamber.

Masta Killa Still Distills Over Dirty
Wu-Tang Clan to invade Toad’s Place
Masta Killa and company release emotional fifth album, ‘8 Diagrams’
By David Friedman MUSIC WRITER
Even the hardest of rappers — members of the legendary Wu-Tang Clan — underwent a range of emotions when it came time to record songs for their fifth studio album, “8 Diagrams.”
For emcee Masta Killa, there was the joy of working with funk icon George Clinton on the track “Wolves,” which also includes verses from Clan members U-God and Method Man. Masta Killa called his mother to share the news that he’d be collaborating with Clinton, whose music his mother used to play at home when he was growing up.
Then came “Life Changes,” a tribute to late Wu-Tang Clan member Ol’ Dirty Bastard, who will be noticeably absent when the group headlines Jan. 13 at Toad’s Place in New Haven.
“That track (messed) me up,” Masta Killa said in a Jan. 3 interview from a Las Vegas hotel room. “It still kind of (messes) me up every time I hear it because I miss my brother, you know? I’m not even the type of dude that distills too much. When I say distills, I mean cry. I’m one for sucking it up and turning it into positive energy. But even when I was writing that, I had a shed a tear or two. It was hard. And I did it in the studio where he expired at. It was kind of tough.”

Some 8 Diagrams Facts
I got these from the wutangcorp forums. Venex there posted these bits of a RZA interview the dutch magazine called RIFRAF did. PRetty interesting stuff.
- Masta killa was always around when they recorded the album…sometimes he even slept there on the studiofloor. the RZA really thanks him for that.
- But the RZA says it’s raekwon who really takes the crown! since his single “state of grace” the man is a rhyming machine, sometimes i ask myself where he keeps getting it..he writes his lyrics very fast, ghost might have dropped a jewel on “my heart gently weeps”, but to me RAEKWON IS ALREADY MORE THEN A YEAR THE BEST MC IN THE BUSINESS (RZA)
- his fixed costs (don’t know if this is the right translation) amount 50 000 dollars EVERY MONTH
- the RZA was first planning REDMAN to replace ol’ dirty bastard, especially because ghostface took so long, he was planning to call Reggie. But redman got his own thing going on and that’s why he asked George Clinton. Him and dirty could get along very well.
Venex wants to be famous! So, venex, venex, venex KUDOS!

VDB Rewinds: Wu-Tang Plot The Future
By Matt Diehl
Rolling Stone 9/18/2003
Hip-hop heroes focus on solo work
IS WU-TANG CLAN OVER? “IT’s SON ice, really,” says Wu leader RZA. Despite breakup rumors, Wu may eventually come back someday. “When it’s time to rock, I think everybody’s down,” RZA says. In the meantime, bonds among the Staten Island, New York, rap crew are strong: Most of the Clan MCs are helping out with one another’s solo discs because, as Method Man puts it, they’re “Wu for life.”
What’s going on with Wu-Tang Cland
1. Masta Killa
He’s the only Wu-Tanger to never release a solo album-butthat’s aboutto change. Masta Killa will soon drop No Said Date, which RZA calls “a crazy classiccompletely raw. He’s the motherfucker right now.”
2. Raekwon
A new Raekwon effort — The Lex Diamond Story-is expected to come out later this year.
