RFI, C/D : U-God - "Rise of a Fallen Soldier" DVD

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

While I was checking out the Wu-Tang manual on Amazon, I saw this strange U-God DVD called "Rise of a Fallen Soldier," which purports to reveal the secrets of Wu-Tang and all the dirt that U-God has amassed. Anyone familiar with U-God knows that he had a big falling out with the Clan (he says other members neglected him and stole his money, I say he just sucks and so no one bought his albums). Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has seen this DVD and what they thought of it.

Well, there's that yellow fur-covered LL Cool J style Kangol he wore on the inside gate of "Wu Tang Clan Forever." That's good for a laugh at least.

Just 'cause I fucked you doesn't make me a fag - it makes you a pussy. If you're just mad cause I never called, let it go. Don't hate - a playa's gotta play.

u-god's my least favorite rapper in the clan, and i can sense that he's been a source of incredible tension in the group. he just sounds like a less-talented malcontent who wants to blame his failure on RZA rather than owning up to the fact that he, uh, sucks. nevertheless, i'm sort of interested in what he has to say.

p.s. u-god's not on CREAM.

U-God is the one Wu-Tang rapper I can never identify from his voice - Ghost, Raekwon, RZA, GZA, Deck, ODB, Method Man, Cappadonna I can spot instantly. I think that says something about his skillz, at least in comparison to his fellow members...

even Masta Killah's a bit more distinctive.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 11 February 2005 17:47 (twenty-one years ago)

hahahaha, u-god what a broke joke of an mc. pass me that grey poupon, i say!

King Kobra otfm obviously.

I love that one U-God track "Rumble" from the second Wu-Chronicles, but considering he's one of 4?5? rappers on there I'm not sure how much of my love of it is for him.

U-God is the one Wu-Tang rapper I can never identify from his voice

Actually, he has one-- well-- maybe two very distinctive signatures:

1) he has a gruff bass voice; it's lower than any of the other rappers
2) his pitch does not fluctuate when he raps, unlike the rest of the clan

yeah he does the last verse of Knuckleheadz on Cuban Linx, his flow is decent but his voice is blah.

anyone ever seen "The Show"? I remember U-God going on a pissy tirade at Method Man about him getting too much pub(or something along those lines, it was a long time ago). Wonder why it took so long for this type of shit to creep out.

what's "the show"?

The Show

― Austin (Austin), Saturday, 12 February 2005 15:37 (twenty-one years ago)

the show was pretty good actually. the wu tour scenes are interesting. the method man bit IIRC had one member, don't remember who, chiding method man for being a loudmouth or something, which he kinda is. the only other part i can remember is russell simmons visiting slick rick in prison.

two years pass...

U-god is a weak-ass rapper who has caused wu-tang a lot of internal tension. fuck u-god

― Richard Wood Johnson, Friday, 17 August 2007 16:47 (eighteen years ago)

i kinda want to see this DVD though... even though I know it's a money-making scheme since his shitty albums never sold. RZA rightly didn't produce anything on them-- oh, except track 1 on golden arms redemption, which is just a track of u-god bragging about his mad skillz while a crowd cheers in the background. one of RZA's high points as producer if only because he gave u-god the shaft.

― Richard Wood Johnson, Friday, 17 August 2007 16:49 (eighteen years ago)

I think there are actually a couple of tracks by RZA on the first U-God album (not that it matters, by 1999 RZA was far from flawless.) I really like "Rumble" (which isn't produced by RZA) but it's also on the second Wu-Chronicles and more of a showcase for other guys anyway.

fuck u-god

one month passes...

his voice is boring and unengaging. btw, you can watch "Rise of a Fallen Soldier" on Youtube, even though you can't get it on Netflix.
