    LOL he literally made an artform out of bad sound quality. I'm pretty sure wutang soundcheck = arriving to the show 2 hrs late and yelling "fix the fucking mics" during Criminology. I don't get the point of that entire scene. They just kinda had it and dropped it.

    I think the kid playing him is schitz. His interpretation of Rza is cool cause it's consistent but I really wonder where the hell it came from. He hasn't looked anyone in the face all season lol. Textbook asperger behavior. He also has the charisma of a wet pube but I think that's a 'new generation' thing. Though the guy playing Divine plays Divine better than Divine


    I don't think rappers should be involved in their biopics. Or any musician. Wutang has done the best job so far other than Eminem with 8 Mile, but they're not going to include smoking crack and dust, Rza catching a body (which was literally a pivotal moment for him). etc. Also didn't method man get shot in the leg? Wouldn't that be a better explanation for the cane than 'the only person here that has shown exceptional physical ability pulls a muscle and can't work'? lol Maybe Dave East's limits as an actor and Meth's being private got in the way. Idk.

    just got HULU and went two episodes in, i'm actually pleasantly surprised about how well made the series is so far

    I think my only annoyance is the actor that plays RZA. Any other actor I can visualize the Wu member being in that position except him. Especially his voice tone/ lack of a speech impediment. He doesn't strike me as RZA-esque at all

    I got used to that within a few episodes, its more of an interpretation of the character in the writing instead of what the other actors are doing to various different degrees, impersonations.

    For me the hack who plays Ghostface is the guy who brings the show down. I don't find him believable as a thug/street guy, let alone as Ghostface himself. He would be more convincing playing Drake or Craig David in a biopic.

    yeah I get that a bit from the GFK actor too.

    Also - the RZA actor I saw on a radio show before I saw him act, might've ruined it a bit for me too

    overall though, for a streaming hulu show, it's pretty well done

    I honestlydont believe they brought up the ohio shit for no reason.

    Ohio stuff happened after rza was dropped. We coming up on it now if anything.

    Idk if this will have a season 2 but i sure do hope so.

    Yooooo

    My guess this ends with ghost shot in neck and rza attenoted murder. Idk the true details but obviousky they blending stories due to restrictions

    But... atleast we getting a season 2 hopefully because this shit really getting good now. The 1 track shots last episode with the ode to mcs who came up with them was dope.

    The early formation of the clan having rza rae meth and odb this episode, as well as an escalation in the violence. Ive seen people say that parts unoriginal or whatever but its a important part of their arc growing up.

    Great show for a wu fan for sure. The rns callback lol. Hope we see gravediggaz, sunz of man and shit jext season (fingers crossed).

    I agree that the Ghost guy is doing too much. I get doing your own version of a character but this personality isn't going to make sense when factoring the rest of ghost's life, like wearing a Sherlock Holmes hat or flipping pancakes on his album cover lol. How is he going to justify any of the skits, dude's slang is off.

    I REALLY wish these kids could rap. They make wu sound wack as all fuck lol.

    So U-God has nothing to do with this but they crowbarred his son iNTeLL into the last episode. He was the one rapping at the party when Rae and Power showed up.
