    Guys.

    This is awesome.

    It would never replace Wu-tang shaolin style though.

    In my heart.

    RZA is the chess geek of the group. Heard that he is pretty excellent.

    So if Wu Tang wants to use the vehicle of its music and cultural expression to direct a group of people who otherwise might not consider chess to expand their horizons a little bit, I salute them.

    Doesn't mean I am joining the site though.

    I believe the RZA and the GZA acquired Grandmaster status in chess. I'm not from the USA but I believe Chess is played in some ghettos, too bad it's not free.

    Yep. They dropped back under the ELO 2600, but got their GM titles in 2005 and 2007 (IIRC).

    Smart guys. Can't judge a book by its cover.

    One of the GZAs pseudonyms is The Genius. Maybe not the cover, but I guess the book title might give one a clue as to it's contents.


    Although I'm not sure the RZA can actually resurrect people. Maybe a burnt-out cigar.

    Well, if he could, we'd have Ol' Dirty back and we'd have a new era of Wu-Tang to enjoy :)

    You shut your whore mouth. Shaolin Style was a good game, and it's as close to Thrill Kill as we'll ever get, legally.

    Seriously. 36 Chambers is a great album and Ghostface Killah's Ironman album was pretty good to.

    Oh, and Gravedigaz were one part WuTang and their first album was super. I still have all three of them on my iPhone.

    And wow, the dumb over the last page is astounding. This is very damned weird, but yeesh.

    Hah. Apparently so, yes. 1-800 Suicide is on their first album. It was a concept group set up by Prince Paul from De La Soul and Stetasonic, Frukwan from Stetasonic, producer Too Poetic and RZA (Where he uses his pseudonym The Rzarector)
