Wu-Tang Clan royalty GZA’s recent social media activity has been making fans do a double-take as of late, even with some calling for him to delete the posts.
On Friday (August 7), the 53-year old punny lyricist shared a short video clip to his Instagram, Twitter and Facebook accounts from an undisclosed oceanside view and posed the question: “Round or flat?” with a thinking emoji.
It didn’t take long before fans of the Liquid Swords mastermind to begin the question the overall motive — or the sanity of the revered MC.
“I thought you were GZA the Genius?” one fan wrote on Instagram. “Perfect reason to stop following you, thanks” another quipped on Facebook.
Other fans tried to read deeper into the posts and come up with more profound meaning. After all, this is the rapper who has personified record labels, celebrities and animals to curate his art.
Raekwon Announces 'Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 3' Album As Original Turns 25
GZA’s geography know-how isn’t the only one of his posts that have come under fire with fans as of late. On Thursday (August 6), he ruffled the feathers of his million-strong following by appearing to question the validity of the flu vaccine with a meme.
Many fans were quick to point out the constant mutation of the flu virus, making the yearly vaccinations necessary.
Although GZA hasn’t released a studio solo album in more than a decade, fans may get the opportunity to hear his expanded thoughts on the recently announced Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 3 or Method Man and Havoc collaborative album.
He’s an Anti-Beefer also…. no pun intended.
I’m not a flat earther but I think it’s hilarious how quick people are to write off and judge someone who has a different opinion. If we were taught in school the Earth is flat that’s what we’d believe. Who the fuck really knows, yall motherfuckers work at NASA?
You are right on opinions, but facts are not an opinion. The earth is not flat it’s common sense. A flat earth cannot have seasonal differences, a day/night cycle like we have, different constellations depending on your location, etc. It does not take working at Nasa to understand basic science. People are just so dumb.
PS I’m a real life geoscientist
Haha. Get em.
How would you know? All you were taught was all about the seasonal cycle, news flash schools lie lmao dumb ass
Umm because I’m the scientist that researches it dumbass. That’s how I would know.
Lmao. “Do you work at NASA”!? Dummy. You don’t have to work at NASA to know the earth is round.
The earth is flat. Fact.
This was a bait post and do far 6 dumb fucks took the bait
GZA is right! People only live and die by God’s will alone so who needs a vaccine!? It’s also true that the earth is flat. If it were otherwise, we the human race would be falling off the face of it on a daily basis but we don’t.
Wow this is the stupidest shit I ever heard , we don’t fall off the planet (ctfu)unfknreal because of the earth spins on its axis it’s called gravitational pull u dumb fuk,I lost all respect for u n u should ? change your fkn name cuz u ain’t no fkn genius!!!
LoL! I don’t have to entertain your mess. Go find someplace else to unload you drivel filled theories! Hahaha
Im tired of people’s opinions being valued as facts. For example, the esoteric teachings that we, humans, are the chosen race and that the universe bends to meet our needs and smiles upon us. Nonsense. Just like flat earth theory. If we dont start respecting science we will fall back to the dark ages. Sure, corrupt politicians will “select” science that supports their agenda, but that doesnt discredit REAL science. Stop being lazy and do the research.
Who gives a F. Let people live their lives. Question what they want and feel needs to be questioned. We are on this earth for a short time. Dont need science as much ss we.need faith, hope, love and kindess. Science is wrong as much as it is right. Keep Questioning everything. Never be a follower.
Man you’re as stupid as the @ss of a donkey. You SHEEP crack me up.
Your a peice of shit take your antichrist ass fuck out of here no religion yet you praise the devil go kill yourself
Real science? Scientists use to be witch doctors, you think scientists get to just come drop off any information they want it’s all cleared up top before the release of documents scientists are killed all the time for trying to expose truths of the world and some get the word out but thick headed people like you whom are just a protege of the system you are a true believer in them hey? Just like any other sheep your all blinded to the truth your porvley terrified of this virus you go ahead and listen to every word and thought they want to embed into your head you sheep will be the fall of all our rights freedoms and yet you say to do our own research? How about you do yours and mainstream ANYTHING is a lie when will you all realize this life we all love is a lie and fake as fuck materialism will kill us all
He’s trolling or trying to encourage critical thought in others. Have you been listening to this man’s bars? Have you heard him talk? Have you seen him live? If so, there is no way you’d take this seriously. The man studies the minutia of natural science. He’s more familiar with astronomy than any other emcee. He supports science scholarships and runs an organization to get more youth into the sciences. He hangs out with Neal Degrass Tyson, does TEDtalks, studies chess problems, and exposes idiots. Guess he’s doing that right now if he got anyone to question his understanding…he’s exposing the ignorant, both of his music and his character. His next project Dark Matter is going to function like a textbook to teach us about the science of the universe. Don’t question the intellect of a genius, because if they seem to present some sideways shit, it is simply them compelling you to think.
Guess he found the flaw/lies in science or how full of shit scientists are, as this is god’s land and we are his creation not some big bang bullshit that they cant even explain
He ain t “trolling” shit! He’s right. People are just too fuckin’ stupid to challenge the compulsory “educational” system they ve been indoctrinated with!!! Who GAF what you sheep think when yiu are not smart enough to think for yourself!!!
Lol Its funny when the same who refuse to be open-minded about race, sexuality, or religious beliefs can be totally open minded when they’re presented with ridiculous notions, like the earth being flat and Obama being a clone. Listen, I love a good conspiracy theory, and I believe in some controversial things like aliens and supernatural stuff, but I still also have common sense and respect facts. You can do both. The other thing is, stop getting your information from rappers and actually believing it. Listen to rap for fun. Read books for knowledge, credible ones, not blogs. Peace.
You have common sense and believe in facts, huh. Ok then stop lumping groups of people together and claim you know how they think, act and what they believe. There’s a lot of people out there that are pro-vaccine but anti government mandated ones like this new BS Coronavirus vaccine. People ‘can do both’ as you would claim. They can be both open minded about religion and sexual identity but question big pharma. It doesn’t make them anti-science.
Anybody who is surprised by that hasn’t been paying attention.
Most vaccinations are a scam and evolution theory is a hoax
Truly amazing to see these human beings that were dropped on their heads numerous times as infants still able to handle making a post on the internet!
Everyone knows the earth is a triangle. Stop being dumb. We also know vaccines are just emotions injected into the body, and they’re needed because when we were born they clipped the umbilical cord, and that cord houses half our souls, and the half we’re left with isn’t filled with enough emotion to cry, and crying gives the earth power when our tears hit the fertile soil. We need to moisturize the earth, because the earth provides lotion to moisturize our bodies, from the same sun that houses the Mayan empire that blasted off of earth in search of birria tacos. Salute all my real goons and gods.
C’mon really? The Triangular Earth Theory was categorically disproven during the Apalachin meeting in 1957 – The earth is a Rectangular Prism.
I used to love GZA. But the show we saw last summer; everyone in the WU was on fire except him. He sat there with his hands in his pockets. Lazily reciting his verses. Acting as if he didn’t want to be there. Sitting in the corner. Looking old. It was almost like the other members were avoiding his negative energy. While everyone else was spilling heart and soul. Very disappointing. Show as a while was legit tho. Just put a WU sticker on my new truck too. Damn. All good. WU tang is forever. Take the good with the bad in everything. Peace.
Lol people are so quick to jump into conclusions and write bullshit headlines. He probably was messing with people who can’t think critically and believe any conspiracy theory they are provided on the internet, even if its against common sense. He’s the GZA, you should know he not a dumb mothafucka.
trent clark sounds like he had to google who gza was to write this article. this must be a fisher price my first article type thing. sounds like the intern and they threw him a bone.
TRENT CLARK….AND WHAT IF HE IS A FLAT EARTHER OR QUESTIONS A VACCINE?????…SO WHAT…THATS HIS BUSINESS AND CHOICE TO THINK AND SAY WHAT HE WANTS….THE DAYS OF FOLLOWING THE SHEEPLE MENTALLITY ARE OVER U MORON…LAST I CHECKED THIS WAS A FREE THINKING SOCIETY…HOW IS THIS NEWS????
I want to give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he’s trolling. It’s not like he’s known for his sense of humor, but he’s been involved with science for years now, it’s tough to believe he’s suddenly dismissing it. In order to believe the earth is flat or vaccines are a hoax, you’d have to believe the whole scientific community, and anybody with a passing knowledge of science is also in on the hoax. There are also a bunch of simple tests that anybody can do to prove these things. Some people just want something to believe in, whether it’s religion, nationality, or a conspiracy theory. But whatever you believe it doesn’t change the world around you, and at some point you need to prove these things to be real.
Do you guys remember? GZA (and the entire Wu) is 5 percenter. It means he really believes there was no white people on earth before one black evil genius scientist create them for some evil purpose. That’s somewhat interesting science fiction narrative compares to flat earth or anti vaxxing though.
What he did was “Genius” he wasn’t saying he was one way or the other, he was just challenging us to look at life from different perspectives
Liberals think if you show any skepticism about what a general consensus of scientists claim, it means you are anti-science and therefore stupid. I mean, I think questioning that the earth is round is moronic because I can’t think of any possible reason they would go to so much trouble to lie about it, but the vaccinations seems like a valid question to me. Like you said, not taking one side or the other, but it’s worth discussing.
that is because Liberals do not want to discuss anything, it’s either their way or the highway
He is right about the flu shot. Every year people run to get one and still get sick. If you ever have any doubts about its validity, just look at how the staff at places like Kaiser Permanente hunt you done and bug the shit outta you to get the flu shot. You can’t walk five feet within the building before they’re all over you. It’s like those vultures that constantly bug you about your cable/internet bundle when you’re trying to shop. Or those Obama phone people that hang out in front of low rent stores. Same shit, different products.
There are different kinds of flu. I mean there’s 18 other covids for a start. They mutate, dummy.
You’re right about the flu but when it comes to coronavirus it’s called covid-19 because it appeared in 2019 not because there are 18 previously and this is 19th.
They target the kids in the schools to wont let you leave the school until you had your shot ( I skipped those days)
If the earth was flat theb where is the edge at? Wouldnt you just be looking into space? There wouldn’t be anymore earth to stand on at one point. Where is that at? Lol
The horizon is proof that the earth is flat. Done.
You obviously didn’t research anything otherwise you’d know but instead just spread ignorance, it’s ok most of these lames do just that, captain cook set out on a voyage in 1700s to the edge to discover a massive ice wall towering 300ft in areas to then try to breach the wall and find an inlet, to discover that was no inlet just a massive ice wall that stretched 60000kms (around the globe). Pages of written document, guess this means nothing must be chasing clout in the 1700s too
Please tell me where you did this research. Did you ask captain Cook, yourself? 60,000 km of ice around a flat earth? What stops the ice from just falling of into nothing? How does something like lava stay underneath a flat earth without just oozing into the space around our flat earth?
Oh I guess because you haven’t read anything on the subject because your ignorant you wouldnt know right! I read it that’s how I know ya stupid fuck, funny most of you are 16 years old brats, go find out for yourself millions believe flat earth from doing there own research, if you actually care to know if.not shit the fuck up and keep wondering why the greatest astronomers cant even explain what/where gravity comes from or what it is. Why the moon emmit’s its own light so they can tell us the earth is flat, taking there word on it as none of us will ever see that… but they cant explain something as simple as the moon and gravity? Oh the cgi astronauts going.into space ya thats false to ever hear of the hollow earth theory
Hahahahaha what a fucking idiot
Lmao I’m an idiot ok you keep getting your info from the same ones that commit genocide, put shackles on your people and enslave us all but you’ll believe anything they have to tell you, no imagination having mutha fuckas to bad you cant use the.poweful.brain we were all given
Lol, society funny as shit.
Gza still one of the Elders in US Rap to me.
I ain’t concerned with his cosmological or vaccine views,
I just want a new album from him.
He’s still spending 1993 money. I’m sure he doesn’t give a shit what people thinks of his post. Probably sippin’ on a fruity drink,buzzin’ n questioning deep shit.
You really think that? 1993 was 27 years ago fam. That 36 Chambers money ain’t stretching that far. He’s probably living ok, but not rich. Rappers don’t make as much money as they’d have the fans think. Especially back then.
Go listen to The Spark……And never question The Genius!!
I he is just trying to get people to think out side the box and discuss it
