"Mercury is the Inspectah Deck of planets, writes @ryanfmandelbaum"


  

          

Headline that just came across the timeline for an Atlantic article.
Do 30-50 year old white men just love Wu Tang that much in 2017?
Color me dumb, but I couldn't point out Deck if he walked into the bar tonight.
It's like everyone wants to be Bill Simmons
And the damndest thing is, I probably would've checked the article without that headline
Neil Degrasse Tyson would've have written that title

If they are 40+ then i'll be more inclined to buy it. A lot of the white cats I came up with would have Wu in constant rotation right along with Nirvana

If they are 35 & under then i'm less likely to.....

35-40 is a gray area for me though.....

Pretty sure a bunch of exposure is due to Chapelle Show.

TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

Wu Tang. The most disappointing thing in my young adult life was when they dropped out of the co-headlining tour with Rage. My buddy and I had tickets and didn't even go once Wu dropped off the bill.
