Raekwon x Ghostface Killah Perform At Coachella 2015 (Video)

Last week, repping the Wu-Tang hard, Raekwon and Ghostface Killah took the stage and did the damn damage at the 2015 Coachella Festival! The crowd had the W’s up before the show even started. And when it did, even the DJ (Scram Jones) had to take a phone pic. Heads are almost guaranteed to lose their sh!t by the time “Incarcerated Scarfaces” comes up. And you might get a little misty when they do “Shimmy Shimmy Ya” for the late bro ODB.

Raekwon With A Wu-Tang Memory: A Push-Up Competition With ODB… After Smoking Dust (Video)

You know how blogs try to jazz up the titles and bylines to get readers to come read posts. Well, there was not much “jazzing” to do on this one. It’s Raek, talking Wu-Tang, specifically ODB… remembering when he, Dirty B and a gang ‘o ninjas got down with some “dust” then got down on the floor and knocked out thousands of pushups. Fitness plan for your a$$ to be certain! Wow.

Wu-Tang Clan – “A Better Tomorrow” (Video)

Black lives matter. Hip-Hop matters, especially when it is bringing truth to light like this. Great flip of the “Wake Up Everybody” music by Teddy Pendergrass for today’s cause. Respect to Wu-Tang for putting this out; especially now.

This visual was created by Wu-Tang Clan in the hopes of inspiring change and promoting unity throughout the world.

Raekwon Speaks On His Career, Next Album And More (Video)

Ascending alongside his Wu-Tang Clan Chef Raekwon, architect of the Golden Era classic “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx”… all that. Face it: Folks are interested in what Raek is doing NEXT; not last. Well, trust that the Chef was built to last. And bet money that his upcoming LP “Fly International Luxurious Art” (due out November 4, 2014) will be, too.

Raekwon – ‘Close To You’


Raekwon continues his ‘Throwback Thursday’ assault over classic R&B joints from back in the day. This time around the Wu-Tang lyricist decides to take it back to the 80s & get ‘Close To You’ on this Gwen Guthrie joint. It’s an interesting choice for ‘the Chef’ to flip his lyrical finesse over, but I think Rae should have utilized her 1986 ‘get off your ass’ controversial classic “Ain’t Nothing Going On But The Rent”. It’s all good…. just another appetizer before Raekwon’s upcoming ‘F.I.L.A.’ project on the way.

Rae continues to hit us with all these musical appetizers before his next album ‘F.I.L.A.’ drops.

It’s all in the ingredients, Chef. We hear ya. Gotta wonder what a tasty track will result when Raekwon (of Wu-Tang Clan) starts with a throwback classic like Fantasia’s already dope “When I See You.” Well, wonder no more. Stream it below.

RAEKWON – WHEN I SEE YOU

Well, when you’re onto something… keep it up! This is like… the sixth… R&B throwback jawn jumped on by Wu-Tang’s Raekwon. This time he touches on Sylvia Striplin… um… her classic song. Check out his “Give Me Your Love” (Remix).

RAEKWON – GIVE ME YOUR LOVE (REMIX)

Raekwon – “Ooh La La La”

artworks-000084758661-1cyr33-t500x500

That airy track is almost singing “Ooh La La La” on it’s own… but then Teena Marie takes it over. Listen closely. This is the latest Throwback Thursday track from the Wu chef Raekwon… another flip of some classic R&B; approaching the Teena track with them words!

RAEKWON – OOH LA LA LA

Raekwon – “Footsteps In The Dark”
