This vibrant documentary follows concert promoter Chang Weisberg and his Guerilla Union promotion team as they work furiously to ensure that what would turn out to be the last performance of notorious no-shows the Wu-Tang Clan actually takes place. Weisberg puts everything on the line to achieve the seemingly impossible: reuniting the 10 members of the Grammy-winning Wu-Tang Clan, including Method Man (”Garden State,” TV’s “The Wire”), RZA (composer for “Blade: Trinity” and “Kil [Read More...]

At the end of a day, after the mayhem of the absolute craziness that goes into putting on this Wu-Tang Clan show — this is a film about human integrity and unbridled passion. I barely knew anything about Wu-Tang before I went to see this movie, and it didn’t matter because the heart and soul of all the characters in this doc explode from the screen and I was hooked for every single second. The concert promoter even has his mother help him at the ticket counter! I was smiling the whole time watching this. Guys, girls, Wu-Tang fans, non-Wu-tang fans — everyone should see this film to learn the power of getting anything done if you set your mind to it! Directors Denis Hennelly and Casey Suchan found an incredible human story amid the lunacy of a WuTang concert, and I admire them for that. This is one of my favorite docs I have seen! Enjoy!
I love the Wu and came the the screening at Tribeca. I got what I wanted from Wu, but moreover, I was exposed to the rough and tumble life of the promoter of ODB’s last ever concert. Boy, that guy had a LONG night.
I cant recommend RTB enough. If you love hip hop, you’ll learn about what goes into putting the show on (it’s frightening at times). If you’re new to hip hop, it will give you a glimpse of the lives of some of the most influential early greats in the genre, as well as interviews with a newer generation of rappers.
There are some tense moments, some hillarious moments (courtesy of RZA, of course!), but in the end, it’s a great watch.
I hope they release the soundtrack!
