"No one thinks that a Hebrew-speaking country has anything to do with hip-hop"

For some reason this Cappadonna quote gives me the laughs.

Oh. My. God. Best. Headline. Evah.

WU-TANG CLAN, one of the world's biggest rap groups

You'd never guess this was an NME article, huh?

Well there are about a dozen members, Dom!

"No one thinks that a Hebrew-speaking country has anything to do with hip-hop, but hip-hop is alive in Israel and we are going there to foster the new generations’ way of communicating."

Hip - hop prophets off to preach to the masses? Hmm, do I begin to dust off their Nobel Peace prize now, or wait til hell has truly frozen over? I applaud their initative, but something tells me the warm reception (from the Israeli government) may not be forthcoming.

Actually, have the Beasties every played Israel?

Notice that neither Cappadonna nor Remedy are members of the Wu-Tang Clan.

― JoB (JoB), Saturday, 29 March 2003 12:46 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, other bands might be afraid to tour europe or Israel for fear of anti-American sentiment, but honestly, the Wu Tang would just kick anybody's ass.

― David Allen, Saturday, 29 March 2003 15:04 (twenty-three years ago)

I think there was a time when it was an open question whether he was a member. Then it was clear that he was not?

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Saturday, 29 March 2003 15:06 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't know about Remedy, but surely Cappadonna has been in the Wu-Tang Clan from the beginning?

Ooooooooh! What a tangled web we weave
When first we practice to decieve
Guns be clickin, runnin with my clan we be stickin
Whatever, my street family stays together
Represent what I invent, killa hill
Resident, rest in peace to my n--a Two Cent
The street life is the only life I know
I live by the code style it's mad P.L.O...

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Friday, 11 April 2003 15:56 (twenty-three years ago)

My repertoire is USSR -
PLO style got thrown out the car -
and run over, by the Method Man jeep -
Divine can't define my style is so deep

explode like a suicide bomb
out of the nation of the uncle tom
as they droppin Saddam
across the pond
land down in Tel Aviv
nation of 5% in the holy land gettin received
as Yasser Arafat plead for his life
the IDF cuttin like a knife
through the butter of the Gaza
sisters and mamas
gettin crushed impropah
by bulldozers
lookin' for underground jihad soldiers
human shields ain't doin nothin to yield
the momentum behind turning Palestine to a field
illegal settlements
in lieu of humanitarian betterments
weapons killing off all chances of hope
two nations dangling from the same hangman's rope
