The Tao of Wu
The Tao of Wu | The RZA
3 posts | 4 read | 2 to read
From the founder of the Wu-Tang Clan—celebrating their 25th anniversary this year—an inspirational book for the hip hop fan. The RZA, founder of the Wu-Tang Clan, imparts the lessons he's learned on his journey from the Staten Island projects to international superstardom. A devout student of knowledge in every form in which he's found it, he distills here the wisdom he's acquired into seven "pillars," each based on a formative event in his life-from the moment he first heard the call of hip-hop to the death of his cousin and Clan- mate, Russell Jones, aka ODB. Delivered in RZA's unmistakable style, at once surprising, profound, and provocative, The Tao of Wu is a spiritual memoir the world has never seen before, and will never see again. A nonfiction Siddhartha for the hip-hop generation from the author of The Wu-Tang Manual, it will enlighten, entertain, and inspire.

This book is great. It is good for anyone not just people who like the wu-tang clan. It is by the founder RZA and is basically his philosophy which is a combination of several other religions/philosophers. He also gives lots of comparisons of modern day life to these different philosophical ideas. Overall a good book that will make you think and maybe even give you a new way of thinking.

MissYaremcio Oh this sounds interesting!! I would have liked the theme and how it is established, but overall nicely done. 4/6 2y

I knew this book would be good when my sister read it in a couple of days (she isn't much of a reader or a fan of Wu Tang.) The RZA draws from various different religions and philosophies and basically compiles them into a single belief system and it makes for an engaging read (coming from someone who isn't even remotely religious.) He also peppers these ideas with the history of the group and how they came to be such a strong cultural phenomenon.

Right now I‘m taking responsibility for my own happiness. I‘m chillin‘ at the bookstore. This is my favorite section because it‘s where my two loves (music and books) meet.
