The Wu-Tang Clan reunion is now official according to front man The RZA who has confirmed the title of the project and set a tentative date for its release. According to Billboard.com, the new LP will be titled 8 Diagrams and will be released sometime this summer on Steve Rifkind’s SRC Records. Rifkind’s relationship with Wu dates back to their 1993 debut Enter the 36 Chambers, which was released on his Loud Records. The SRC principal initially announced the reunion in a Youtube video posted on his blog in late December, however, at the time no title or release date had been agreed upon.

I hope they come with some cool beats for a change. Them niggas always had flow, but they had some of the weirdest ass beats, some old space age, off tempo type samplin and shit. I personally want to her what Meth and Ghostface gon bring to the table.

Fuck all that, the story was better on Allhiphop, they get the news quicker and more in depth. oh well tho, I like it here.
They’re stoked about this (Wu), so I think its gonna be a great project. And they said theres gonna be unreleased ODB on the album too, so there ya go.
You’re right ATL, this isnt the mid 90’s and maybe thats why HipHop has sucked big donkey nutts lately (No Deadlee). They’re comin back with that raw Wu style to make this rap game grimy again, just like they did the first time they dropped when everything was all radio commercial and R&B. Now its like that again and Wu is seeing a perfect opportunity to give everyone who’s bitchin what they want.
I agree, I think this is great timing, and Im fuckin HYPE about this album.
I just hope its more 36 Chambers than Iron Flag, lol.
1 hunned.

Im wishing and praying for the best. But judging by some of their sub-par work since their double album, I have doubts. I hope im wrong. I hope their “Hip-hop will rock and shock the nation” once again!

all these young cants out here know nothing about wu. mid 90 was the illest time for a nigga, and the wu stamped that whole era. these little punk ass cats are fresh nowadays. they dont know real hip hop, and have never been through a revolution in the game like wu created. respect is due, and earned. but you weak ass bitches were still playin in the sandbox, while me and my niggas were on the block. the fact is the lyrics are too deep, and the flow too thought provoking. you cant follow what you cant understand, and so you put it down. strength is in knowledge, and the wu not only throw darts, but feed that strength to the masses. open your eyes. open your minds.

Yo I’m glad to see there are still some real heads out there. Whenever I throw on the Wu..you know the fakers get nervous. Besides others from the underground such as PRock & CL , NAS, Gang Star no one is schoolin these kids smoking the booms in the stair cases. To the Wu..you produce and we keep bangin heads. on the ferilo!
