Wu-Tang Clan ain’t nothing to f*** with.
This post was written by Marc Wiltshire.
The snow was polar white in the Montreal winter of 1994. I was eleven years old, sitting on the school bus when a kid hands the driver a mixtape. What I heard next would turn my freezing butt on fire: Wu-Tang Clan’s Ain’t Nothin’ To F**k With! I knew instantly that what I was hearing was special.
I also recognized that my mother would disapprove of me listening to it. Too late. I became hooked on the sounds coming from a faraway land named Shaolin.
Cut to thirty years later when I landed my dream job editing the third and final season of Wu-Tang: An American Saga, a biopic TV show co-created by Wu-Tang founding member RZA about the rise of one of the most popular musical groups in history.
How does one live up to the vision and hype of a celebrated TV series based on real people? You do your homework.
