Being from the UK, the music gave these areas a mythical feel. Same with Queensbridge. But like you said these places are just regular neighbourhoods with regular people. Power of music I guess. Still fascinating though
As someone from Los Angeles and who knows really nothing about NYC it always tripped me out that the Wu-Tang were from Staten Island. From everything I've heard Staten Island is basically white suburbs with like one little tiny percentage of a black area. So for them to come from there and make such a huge impact is kind of mind-blowing to me
Staten native here let me just say the north shore of Staten was a different world- south shore is all white and north shore is predominantly black and Hispanic. Shout out to the Wu - early 2000’s they were still representing big in the borough. Shout out to Mariners Harbor- Forest Ave!
Jonathan Mannion (the photographer) made a slight error. He said that the Wu-Tang Clan cover photo for XXL (in which the Clan were holding Olympic gold medals) was a cover that he shot after ODB passed away. That is incorrect. That cover was in late 2001 for the upcoming Wu-Tang Clan album (Iron Flag) that December. ODB was still alive at that time. The reason he didn’t make the cover was because he was incarcerated at the time. ODB passed away in November 13, 2004.
I was raised on 36 Chambers and every solo project that came out from Wu !!! got even tattoo with the quote from C.R.E.A.M,each block house in my area had painted Wu Tang logo on their walls,All that happen in a small town of Poland more less 25 years ago !!! Im sure they didnt realize that back then they where world famous !!!
Will always love Staten Island no matter how much people try to put it down, was born and raised in the south beach area. Went to school in park hill which was 5 minutes away from where I lived, the Wu-Tang clan’s influence will never be forgotten not just in Staten Island but all of NYC.
Still don't understand how or why R* Games didn't put Staten Island in GTA IV, knowing Wu-Tang Clan history with the borough. Miss opportunity right there, Wu Tang Forever!
We don’t believe you, you need more people. Just kidding son. That’s a real classic. I gotta look it up on Apple Music and reminisce on when I really loved hip hop man
My uncle from sugar hill projects said most of ny knew Staten Island was soft lol I don’t believe but I been out there I saw a lot of whites everywhere
Wow Ralph McDaniels. Video music box I would get in ch 31 here in NJ. It’s how I got into hip hop. I saw Black Sheep Fever for the flavor and that was it. lol

Folks just remember that Wu Tang Clan is fantasy martial arts clan among Chinese Wuxia films. Something about cultural appropriation that the younger folks like to throw around these days....
Jesus christ they act like the Wu is new............... I actually enjoyed them back in the early 90's. now it's just too much. people act like they are the best rap group ever!!!
If you're from NYC this is just every day life, but it's crazy to think that 6 blocks, literally, have left such a huge impact on the world

Everyday life, ah no that's not true.
BK had a lot to do with the Wu too but other people was already reppin hard for BK

When Wu Tang cam out they had no love from the rest of the boroughs. They had to take it by force.

🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👐🏾
3:13 Cappadonna appeared on wu-tang projects before the Forever album. That's a little off there.
Wu is the best rap group of all time no doubt. But no NYers respect Staten Island……..
