It’s not every day several killer bees swarm the Washington D.C. offices of NPR — but that’s precisely what happened earlier this week when Wu-Tang Clan entered the building.
In honor of the 25th anniversary of the legendary collective’s seminal album, Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers),Inspectah Deck, Cappadonna, U-God, RZA, and Masta Killa crammed into the studio for an episode of NPR’s Tiny Desk concert series.
Although Wu-Tang has roughly 60 projects in their storied catalog, they were able to condense as much of it as possible into an extended 20-minute set. Beginning with a few verses from 1997’s “Triumph,” the motley crew ran through several tracks such as “Glaciers of Ice,” “Winter Warz,” “You Don’t Want to Dance,” “Protect Ya Neck” and “C.R.E.A.M.”
Around the 13:15-minute mark, RZA censors one of his more explicit bars as a sign of respect to the #MeToo movement.
