As we reported earlier this year, the Wu-Tang Clan will soon be releasing a comeback album through the recently launched music wing of Internet gambling powerhouse BoDog.com. In this 20-plus minute video from Bodog TV, seven of the eight surviving members (that would be the RZA, the GZA, Inspectah Deck, Raekwon, U-God and Method Man -- sadly, no Ghostface) of the group talk about their working relationships, the loss of Ol' Dity Bastard and The 8 Diagrams.
Intentional spoiler of awesomeness: what follows may contain the line "ODB was super-rare. You know what I mean? And to lose something like that, that's like if the world ran out of diamonds."
The Clan in the Front is currently on the road co-headling The Rock the Bells Tour with Rage Against the Machine. Here are the remaining dates:
Aug 2 Hi-Fi Buys Amphitheatre - Atlanta, GA
Aug 4 Bayfront Park Ampitheatre - Miami, FL
Aug 7 Smirnoff Music Center - Dallas, TX
Aug 8 Reliant Park - Houston, TX
Aug 11 Glen Helen Pavilion - San Bernardino, CA
Aug 12 Coors Amphitheatre (Parking Lot) - San Diego, CA
Aug 18 McCovey Cove Parking Lot - San Francisco, CA
Aug 21 USANA Amphitheatre - Salt Lake City, UT
Aug 22 Red Rocks Amphitheatre - Denver, CO
Aug 25 Metrodome (Parking Lot) - Minneapolis, MN
Aug 26 Charter One Pavilion - Chicago, IL
Aug 29 DTE Energy Music Theatre - Detroit, MI
Aug 30 Venue TBD - Toronto, Ontario
And this is what the New York Times had to say about the tour's opening weekend in New York yesterday.
So what's the verdict? Is anyone out there stoked for a Wu-Tang album in 2007?
