I figured it would be a nice gesture to share with y`all this lil` documentary on the Wu-Tang Clan surprisingly titled "Wu: The Story Of The Wu-Tang Clan". I believe that it was released in 2008, it`s backed by B.E.T. & narrated by director Gerald “Gee Bee” Barclay. Barclay actually directed some of Wu-Tang Clan`s earlier music videos, so he kind of has a bond with them which also allows him to tell a much better story about the group as a whole. He does this using candid interviews with the group`s childhood homies like Popa Wu, Sheldon Lewis & Gano Grills. He also includes concert clips, as well as some original footage of the Wu from the local TV show "New York Party Scene" hosted by Darrell “Lefty” Glover. Barclay also allows some time for a few Industry kats like A&R Bonz Malone & DJ Bobbito (to name a few) to give props to the Wu. There`s also a lil` segment that serves as a tribute to the Wu`s fallen soldier Ol` Dirty Bastard, it`s about 15 minutes or so, but it`s still long enough to celebrate his Life. Overall I would say that this is probably one of the better documentaries that you will see about the Wu-Tang Clan, Barclay does a good job keepin` things entertaining so check it out...
