I was lame and didn’t contribute to Metal Lungie’s Beat Drop this month. Damn baby mama drama kept me distracted (just kidding, Lena) but I’ll be on the next one, I promise Buhizzle. Got some dope RZA selections and celebrity guest writers: Statik Selektah, Marco Polo, and 88 Keys. Stop by the Metal Lungies and leave your opinion.
So… RZA is saying that he is unsure that they will ever make an album together again. He says Wu-Tang is forever but business with his clanmates is done. So, much like G at Grandgood, I ask “if they never record again, are they still a group?” Are there other groups that never make a record again but still a group? Fugees? Gangstarr? I don’t know…. Swiped from GG via ProHH. Full interview after the jump…
**UPDATE: Metal Lungies surprised me with a dope interview with Meth (lucky bastards). Meth claims “Wu is still tight” but didn’t even know that RZA dropped a new album. Go there for the interview.

*** Update: NY Times writes about RZA and WuChess. (Thanks, J.Gilla)
“You Can’t Stop Me Now,” from the RZA’s upcoming Bobby Digital release, Digi Snax, describes how the beat mastermind moved from street crime to sampling, finally becoming famous alongside the Wu-Tang Clan in 1993. What fifteen year old accomplishments have to do with our ability to stop him today is left unclear.
**Update: Nah Right just posted the Behind the Scenes of the video.
You can stream rza’s new song, “You Can’t Stop Us Now” on his myspace page now. Or you could just download it here. This song was listed as a track on his leaked new album, but never actually appeared on the leaked album. HUH? Well here it is now.
Its a good listen, don’t let this pass you by.
If you don’t have The Roots, “Birthday Girl” in mp3 format, get it here. Fall out boy is terrible thought.
