Staten Island Historians Piece Together Genealogy Of Wu-Tang Clan

In what many are calling the most comprehensive study of its kind, Staten Island historians Robert Wilburn and Charles Tinsley have successfully traced the lines of the infamous Wu-Tang Clan all the way back to 1993 A.D.

While they have definitely faded in recent years, there is no way to argue with their 90's dominance.

Emerging from the slums of Shaolin—located near Wudang Mountain in Park Hill, Staten Island—the Wu-Tang Clan went on to form the largest contiguous rap empire of the late 20th century. The Clan flourished under the rule of RZA, who led his lyrical assassins into a number of heated freestyle battles, and introduced them to a string of new influences, including Kung Fu films and silver-age Iron Man comics.

"During its height, the Wu-Tang Clan acquired a great deal of wealth and notoriety," Wilburn said. "One need only look at Ol' Dirty Bastard's dental records to get a sense of the incredible treasures they possessed."

They played two free concerts in LA last week.

Marky Mark talks to Animals

Sorry, I don't know how to trim the video from Hulu, damn widescreen.

Here's to Friday and falling asleep to a DVD this weekend.

Problem is, I cannot fall asleep while watching a movie, it's a curse. But for all those who don't have that problem, this view sets up a familiar scene. Click the image to get the full effect of "You Fell Asleep Watching a DVD." If I had to choose based on this alone, I think I'd choose Reservoir Dogs, because at that point it's as much about waking up as it is falling asleep and that's just a good bit to get out off the couch to.

The Debates

Too good not to repost this one, the best 10 minutes of my day.

Hipster Rap?

I agree with my man here. But also recently purchased a pair of skinny jeans, so I'm stuck sharing some of the confusion voiced by Jay Smooth. By surrounding myself with something from hipsterville, is it cool? ironic? anything at all? Does it depend on how I rock them and the music I play while listening? Strictly hip hop, maybe. Hipster Rap? I don't think so.

Ending Politics Thursday

I've written about politics a lot today, mainly the RNC, thus it has been a rough day. While the daily show saved quite a bit of it, there is still a little something hanging around. Like weird tasting tap water at a new restaurant, there's something left from today's political frustrations that just won't leave. There's only one way to wash it down - a video featuring one of man's best friends. Someone I would gladly choose over anyone that was on stage or in the audience of that RNC to lead our country. Without further adieu, I give you the barking trampoline dog.

p.s. the first 30 seconds are by far the best.

Bad tattoos

My buddy just got a tattoo, it was actually the first time I went and sat in on a tattoo session, its pretty interesting. There's a full community of artists and supporters (people cleaning, people hanging, etc). Thankfully his turned out well (as did my sisters) but that is not always the case as this pretty priceless photo gallery poignantly demonstrates.

Can't say I like his music (mainly cause I haven't heard too much of it), but I know he's a good guitar player and this video is totally worthwile.
