Dr. Dre's G- funk had overtaken the hip- hop world, the Staten Island, New York- based Wu- Tang Clan proved to be the most revolutionary rap group of the mid- '9. Turning the standard concept of a hip- hop crew inside out, the Wu- Tang Clan were assembled as a loose congregation of nine MCs, almost as a support group. Instead of releasing one album after another, the Clan were designed to overtake the record industry in as profitable a fashion as possible - - the idea was to establish the Wu- Tang as a force with their debut album and then spin off into as many side projects as possible. In the process, the members would all become individual stars as well as receive individual royalty checks. Surprisingly, the plan worked. All of the various Wu- Tang solo projects elaborated on the theme the group laid out on its 1. Enter the Wu- Tang (3. Chambers). The collective's name was taken from a powerful, mythical kung fu sword wielded by an invincible congregation of warriors, and all nine members have worked under a number of pseudonyms, but they are best known as RZA (formerly Prince Rakeem; aka RZArecta, Chief Abbot, and Bobby Steels; born Robert Diggs), GZA (aka the Genius, Justice, and Maxi Million; born Gary Grice), Ol' Dirty Bastard (aka Unique Ason, Joe Bannanas, Dirt Mc. Girt, Dirt Dog, and Osirus; born Russell Jones), Method Man (aka Johnny Blaze, Ticallion Stallion, Shakwon, Methical, and MZA; born Clifford Smith), Raekwon the Chef (aka Shallah Raekwon and Lou Diamonds; born Corey Woods), Ghostface Killah (aka Tony Starks and Sun God; born Dennis Coles), U- God (aka Golden Arms, Lucky Hands, Baby U, and 4- Bar Killer; born Lamont Hawkins), Inspectah Deck (aka Rebel INS and Rollie Fingers; born Jason Hunter), and Masta Killa (aka Noodles; born Elgin Turner). Although RZA wasn't one of the two founding members - - GZA and Ol' Dirty Bastard were the first - - the vision of the Wu- Tang Clan undoubtedly arises from his musical skills. Under his direction, the group - - through its own efforts and the solo projects, all of which he produced or co- produced - - created a hazy, surreal, and menacing soundscape out of hardcore beats, eerie piano riffs, and minimal samples. Over these surrealistic backing tracks, the MCs rapped hard, updating the old- school attack with vicious violence, martial arts imagery, and a welcome warped humor. By 1. 99. 5, the sound was one of the most instantly recognizable in hip- hop. It wasn't always that way. Like most rappers, they began their careers trying to get ahead whatever way they could. For RZA, that meant releasing a silly single, "Ooh, I Love You Rakeem," on Tommy Boy Records in 1. On the advice of his label and producers, he cut the humorous lover- man single, which went absolutely nowhere. Neither did the follow- up single, "My Deadly Venom." The experience strengthened his resolve to subvert and attack record industry conventions. He found partners in GZA and Ol' Dirty Bastard. GZA had also released a record in 1. Words from the Genius on Cold Chillin', which was preceded by the single "Come Do Me." Both records were unsuccessful. After the failure of his album, GZA teamed with an old friend, Ol' Dirty Bastard, to form the crew that would evolve into the Wu- Tang Clan within a year. RZA quickly became part of the crew, as did several other local MCs, including Method Man, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, U- God, Inspectah Deck, and Masta Killa. The nine rappers made a pact to a form an artistic and financial community - - the Wu- Tang Clan wouldn't merely be a group, it would be its own industry. In order to do this, they decided to establish themselves through a group effort and then begin to spread the word through solo projects, picking up additional collaborators along the way and, in the process, becoming stronger and more influential. The first Wu- Tang Clan single, the hard- hitting "Protect Ya Neck," appeared on their own independent label and became an underground hit. Soon, record labels were offering them lucrative contracts. The group held out until it landed a deal that would allow each member to record solo albums for whatever label he chose - - in essence, each rapper was a free agent. Loud/RCA agreed to the deal, and the band's debut album, Enter the Wu- Tang (3. Chambers), appeared in November 1. Enter the Wu- Tang (3. Chambers) was both critically acclaimed and commercially successful; although its financial success wasn't immediate, it was the result of a slow build. C. R. E. A. M.," released in early 1. The group wasted no time in pursuing other projects, as a total of five of the members - - GZA, RZA, Raekwon, Method Man, and Ol' Dirty Bastard - - landed solo contracts as a result of the success of "C. R. E. A. M." RZA was the first to reenter the studio, this time as a member of the Gravediggaz, a group he founded; in addition to RZA, who was rechristened RZArecta, the group included De La Soul producer Prince Paul, Stetsasonic's Frukwan, and Brothers Grimm's Poetic. The Gravediggaz's album 6 Feet Deep appeared in August 1. Labeled "horrorcore" by the group, it was an ultra- violent but comical tour de force that demonstrated RZA's production prowess. Shortly after its release, Raekwon released his first single, "Heaven and Hell," on the Fresh soundtrack; the song was produced by RZA and featured Ghostface Killah. The first Wu- Tang member to become a major solo star was Method Man. In November 1. 99. Tical, the first official Wu- Tang solo album. Again, RZA produced the album, creating a dense, dirty sonic collage. Tical became a big hit in early 1. Meth's duet with Mary J. Blige, "I'll Be There for You/You're All I Need to Get By." Ol' Dirty Bastard followed Method Man's breakthrough success with Return to the 3. Chambers, which appeared in March 1. Elektra Records. Thanks to the hits "Brooklyn Zoo" and "Shimmy Shimmy Ya," the record became a gold success. Out of all the solo albums, it was the one that sounded the most like Enter the Wu- Tang, although it did have a more pronounced comic bent, due to Ol' Dirty's maniacal vocals. Tales from the Hood, a movie soundtrack featuring Inspectah Deck's first solo track, appeared in May. Later in 1. 99. 5, the two most critically acclaimed Wu- Tang records appeared: Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx and GZA's Liquid Swords. Raekwon released his album on Loud/RCA in August 1. Ghostface Killah, his greatest exposure yet. GZA's solo album was released by Geffen Records in November 1. In February 1. 99. Ghostface Killah's first solo track, "Winter Warz," appeared on the Don't Be a Menace to South Central While You're Drinking Your Juice in the Hood soundtrack. Later that October, he released his own solo debut, the critically acclaimed, '7. Ironman; the record was the first released on RZA's new Epic subsidiary, Razor Sharp Records. The Wu- Tang Clan finally reconvened and returned with their second album, the double CD Wu- Tang Forever, in June of 1. Hugely anticipated, the album entered the charts at number one - - selling over 6. Triumph." There were several contributions from guest associate Cappadonna (born Darryl Hill), who'd appeared on Only Built 4 Cuban Linx and Ironman, and would later become the tenth member of the Wu- Tang Clan. The group toured extensively in support of the album, getting into a few minor scuffles with the law along the way. In the meantime, the next phase of the Wu- Tang plan started to take shape: unearthing new associates and spinning the resulting stable of talent into a brand- name franchise. A group of Wu protégés dubbed Killarmy released their debut album, Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars, on Priority Records in August 1. Clan's martial imagery. However, the real year for Wu- related side projects proved to be 1. In March, Cappadonna released his solo debut, The Pillage, on Columbia. The same month, Killah Priest - - not an official part of the Clan, but a frequent guest and a member of another protégé group, the Sunz of Man - - made his solo debut on Geffen Records with Heavy Mental, an acclaimed album filled with spiritual imagery that established him as one of the more distinctive solo artists in the Wu- Tang orbit. In July the Sunz of Man released their own debut album, The Last Shall Be First, on Red Ant, and yet another group of up- and- comers dubbed the Wu- Tang Killa Bees released their first album, The Swarm, Vol. Priority, featuring a number of guest appearances by Wu members and associates. In August, Killarmy issued their second album, Dirty Weaponry. Also in 1. 99. 8, Ol' Dirty Bastard began a long and bizarre saga of erratic behavior and run- ins with police that found him making headlines with alarming (and ridiculous) regularity. In February he interrupted Shawn Colvin's acceptance speech at the Grammy Awards to protest the Clan's loss in the Best Rap Album category; shortly thereafter, he announced he was changing his name to Big Baby Jesus, an idea that never picked up steam. This was only the beginning - - over the next year and a half, ODB would be arrested for a litany of offenses that included assault, shoplifting, making terrorist threats, wearing body armor after being convicted of a felony, possessing cocaine, and missing countless court dates. Plus, in early 1. Clan fell under suspicion of masterminding a gun- running operation between Staten Island and Steubenville, Ohio - - charges that were never proven to have any validity. In the midst of this legal sideshow, the Clan kicked off a second round of solo projects in late 1. This time around, RZA curtailed his activities somewhat, making appearances but often leaving the majority of the production duties to his protégés. Still, he released his own solo debut, the soundtrack- styled RZA as Bobby Digital in Stereo, in November 1. V2; the same month, Method Man's second album, Tical 2. Judgement Day, debuted at number two on the charts.
