Tonite I went to see Shaolins Finest WU TANG CLAN blow it up at Shepherds Bush Empire in London. In true fashion they were well late and kept us waiting anxiously, once they came out on stage it was half the clan, RZA kicked it off with Meth and Raekwon. Meth seemed vexed because the rest of his band mates were not comin on…I figured some family beef was going on cause he was right pissed, kickin shit and pacing around. The crowd was amped up, it was off the hook I thought my balcony was gonna drop thats how jumpin it was. Finally the rest of the Clan walked on but you can tell by the body chemistry that something wasnt right. RZA, Inspecta Deck,Meth and Raekwon kept it live and got the rest to finally fall in line then it just went ballistic, I mean WU Tang 36 Chambers ballistic!!! I have to say I was impressed that after 15 years WU Tang Clan is still nothin to fuk wit!!! Meth was surfin on the crowd and at one point walking on top of them. They did an ODB set which set it off something lovely, the crowd was rawkus and loud as fuk. Each member had a solo moment and delivered, Meth flipped it as he always does. It was well worth the wait and trip to see these brothers perform their classics especially C.R.E.A.M which Rae switched up to P.R.E.A.M for Pounds Rule Everything Around Me.

hmm..i saw thw wu tang two times.in germany.the first time,only 4 members on stage-but hte last time in berlin complete..BUT:both times it was so fuckin lame!i’m serious.i dont think that there are any “family"problems.they arenÄt a “family.they just make money and the way they act on stage shows it every time again that they are not a crew or somethin.i was always dissapointed by there bored behaviour..even if every one of them has his part..thats my impression of the wutang concerts..

Carlos Mare 139 Rodriguez is an internationally acclaimed artist/sculptor and pioneer in the art and culture of Hip Hop.

Throughout his career as a sculpter, Mare 139 has consistently brought innovation to the genre’s aesthetic and vocabulary. Mare 139 earned the prestigeous 2006 Webby Award for his launch of the Hip Hop documentary Style Wars website. Style Wars has also garnered the COMMARTS/Communication Arts Award, Horizon Interactive Award, as well as SXSW/South by Southwest Interactive. Not only an award winner but an award designer, Mare 139 designed and created the award for the annual BET/Black Entertainment Award show, which is given annually to entertainers, athletes and actors.

In 2006-07 Mare 139 worked closely with Director/Actor Robert DeNiro on the film The Good Shepherd as a documenter of ‘the making of the movie’ and as member of Mr. DeNiro’s editing team. His writing has been published in Martha Coopers brilliant photo book Street Play that documents the imaginative ‘play’ of children in the streets of NYC in the late 1970’s. His writings capture the creative play and dangers of his youth in the South Bronx.
