00:00I gotta ask, what's y'all's favorite song to perform live, you know, when you got your
00:06brothers on stage?
00:07Like, what song, you know, makes you feel like, you know, it was worth getting out of
00:11bed that day?
00:13Yeah, for me, I say Triumph, man, because, you know, we kind of do Triumph towards the
00:19end of the night, and, you know, after all of that hype and adrenaline rush is hitting
00:24you for that hour and change, you know, everybody's out on stage at one time, you know, that's
00:29a song that everybody's on, so we get a chance to take them back to when, you know, the sport
00:34was the real blood sport.
00:35That's right.
00:36I second that emotion, man, because, you know, especially the fact that I was able to make
00:42that song was a blessing anyway, me being the last member and all, but when it's just
00:47me and Dec on stage, heaven sakes, baby.
00:50You already know it.
00:53I mean, when I be bouncing around, it's on Triumph, but, I mean, we got so many songs
01:00that hit different, you know what I mean?
01:03It's like you asked me, what's your best record that I ever made or whatever, it's like, it's,
01:09you know, it's too much, like, you know what I mean, so you can't really, really just narrow
01:13it down.
01:14Right.
01:15Like I said, everything just hit different.
01:18We said the same shit.
01:19They do.
01:20Triumph.
01:21Yeah.
01:22You got to get the list.
01:23And then a lot of times you got to see what feels better.
01:24All right.
01:25So, you know what this, like you try to get, you try to dust them off, like in the first,
01:29like 10, 12, 15 songs, like straight, just straight bangers, just like, oh my God, oh
01:35my God, oh my God.
01:36Like, yo, yo, yo.
01:37Then you could get ahead.
01:38So we're in the middle, try to slow them down a little bit, but then after you get that
01:42little slow down and, or me and Ray might go, me, Ray and Kat might go and do whatever,
01:46then it's back to the, back to the, you know what I mean?
01:49It's a balance.
01:50It's a balance.
01:51You know what I'm saying?
01:52Mm-hmm.
01:53Word up.
01:54How do you guys decide what, um, which, which songs are going on the residency?
02:01You know, you guys got a huge catalog.
02:04Everybody is not on each song, so how do you pick, you know, which ones to deliver?
02:10Usually, you know, RZA orchestrates that and, you know, we've been through various lists,
02:17but it change and alternate according to the energy and atmosphere, you know, and a
02:23lot of times, you know, even after lists are made, he run them by us to see if it's something
02:29that we agree with, and if not, he make, you know, the appropriate adjustments to, to make
02:36it happen for the satisfactory of the whole, you know, 20, 25 songs.
02:40Yeah.
02:41You guys got the catalog.
02:42Y'all can do it.
02:43Yeah.
02:44It fluctuates, man.
02:45You know, it's, it's a thing.
02:46It's like, when you see it, it's, it's a show going on in the background, you know, it's
02:51like a light show, there's some visuals, dope visuals going on in the back, you know, dances
02:56here and there, some of the skits get acted out.
02:58So, you know, trying to bring it to y'all as a, as a, you know, an item and not just,
03:05you know, us rapping on stage.
03:06Yeah.
03:07It's a movie.
03:08What's going on with the Wu's album front?
03:10I know you guys aren't going to let, like, Once Upon a Time and Shallon, like, just hover
03:15over y'all's legacy.
03:16Oh, yeah, no doubt.
03:17No doubt.
03:18No doubt.
03:19I think, I think soon, you know what I mean?
03:22You know, I know everybody wants to get, wants to get in, you know what I mean, to go get,
03:26go conquer this whole thing again.
03:28And I believe we could do it too.
03:29You know what I mean?
03:30I just got, it just takes for all of us just to, you know, come together, get our minds
03:33right.
03:34And, and it's going to be easy.
03:35It's going to be easy because this is what we do.
03:37You know what I'm saying?
03:38So, um, you know, you know, the, the music, the soul, everything, hip hop never left us.
03:43So we, we still right here, as soon as we hit that studio, it's, it's, it's, it's magic
03:48all over again.
03:49Love to hear it.
03:50Love to hear it.
03:51You know what I mean?
03:52But you know, as you know, we got to remember though, it's a lot of us.
03:54So a lot of us be doing a lot of other different things.
03:56It ain't like the beginning when we was babies.
03:58You know what I'm saying?
04:00So babies added on, you know what I mean?
04:02So everybody making moves, making moves.
04:04But once we under the umbrella, where it's like, okay, yo, this is it.
04:07It's go time.
04:08And I, and I, and I really think that if not this year, right here, the beginning of the
04:12next year, I think we're going to set that fire.
