I couldn't agree more.

I was excited as all get out when I found out about the title, because The 8-TriGram, as it's originally called, is actually the original Wu-Tang Symbol. It's a Taoist symbol and The I-Ching is derived from these 8 symbols.

Clearly some homework needs to be done before you go off insulting something. That symbol is the foundation of Wu-Tang martial arts.

There can only be 8 tri-grams, because that's the way Fu-Hsi and King Wan created it. It has nothing to do with 8 Wu-Members instead of 9.

You can see for yourself here.....

Funny, you ask someone to tell you what The 8 Diagrams are, and then you can't deal with it??

A gimmick?? No, you're just mad because you shot your mouth off without having the foggiest idea as to what you were speaking about. What they believe in has nothing to do with this. These are the facts.

Incumbered by idjits, we pressed on.

8th diagram is one of many translation for "wu tang" but i would have picked another "the eight divine"

I think its dope that RZA is takin it old school with the title.

You obviously forgot the heavy influence Chinese Martial Arts has on the clan.

Now 3 of the 5 albums name have came from a martial arts flick
