WU-TANG CLAN

8 DIAGRAMS TOUR COMES TO LONDON

It's been 14 years since the Wu-Tang Clan took hip hop by the scruff of it's neck and kicked new life into a stagnating genre.

They arrived just as the first flush of gangsta superstars helped shift rap's centre of gravity from its New York birthplace to the barbecues , swap meets and low-rider cars of sun-kissed Los Angeles, a city on the opposite coast with it's own distinct style.

Today, the rap game is on the cusp of a similarly uncertain future. People agonize about rap and it's intergrity and beliefs, record sales are down, panic is setting in, and the audience is confused. Where can a genre in turmoil turn to bring some light to chase away the darkness ?

Enter the rap group that changed everything so completely that the record industry had to tear up it's rulebook and rethink the way it operated. A nine strong, hydra-headed flurry of sparring egos, clashing styles, and ever increasing self belief; a band who wrote their own mythology, and came with an army of acolytes and a surplus of alter egos.

They represented their rap band as superheroes and today, who else but the Wu-Tang Clan can resuscitate a genre that some feel is breathing it's last breath?

The 8 diagrams tour rolls into London this summer with the full crew, in attendance will be original members, Rza, Methodman, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, U-God, Inspectah Deck, Masta Killa, Gza The Genius and Street Life.
