WU LEGENDS at the ABC GLASGOW



"Wu Tang Motherfucker.......Wu Tang Motherfucker........Wu Tang Motherfucker...." that sound was blasting out of the speakers just before the Kasabian concert i went to last December , with lyrics like those and a deep thumping bassline who could help but fall in love, and to vow to catch these legends when they are next in town.
Well it took a while but to see them in a small venue was a wonderful experience.
When they came out on stage all the members have an incredible presence.But  they compliment each other in a harmonious enhancing way.

Here is an example of Wu-Tang in action:


Just like the Hippie culture come crashing to earth in the Manson murders , and rock gave way to corporate sponsorship it does seem hip-hop is more about lucre for promoters and not anymore about the voice of the streets.
As a sign of the times they seemed more interesting in directing the crowd to the sales merchandising stalls than appealing to the youths revolutionary free independent spirit.It seems even being a tearaway radical is a short attention span fad these days.
