Growing Up Wu-Tang



Behold! The Wu-Tang Clan.
It honestly makes my heart swell with pride that the Clan was formed on "Shaolin"(or Staten Island, New York) How many people can say that Ghostface Killah grew up next to them!? Not that many! Staten Island isn't THAT big. And most people who live here probably haven't even heard of The Wu-Tang Clan because they're all very Italian and listen to Frank Sinatra and their kids listen to whatever's on Z100 or any album sold in Hot Topic. And further more, most Staten Island natives never leave the few square miles where they were born, let alone go near the housing developements that many of the Wu-Tang Clan members grew up in. End rant.

Although I'm the first to admit that I don't live the "thug life" I do really love the Wu-Tang Clan as a whole and their music and the fact that something prolific was created in a place that most people forget about when thinking of New York City.
