Wu-Tang Clan: Of Mics and Men

Very good. Great for us that has been with Wu-Tang since day 1. And great for the children, for the future, for all those who don't understand the impact of The Wu-Tang Clan

I loved this documentary just wished it was longer. I think they should have made this 11 episodes, 1 focusing on each member & 1 on the group. Their story is so much deeper then 4 hours can present. Look forward to more info. Wu-Tang Forever

I loved every second of this. I wish there was an in-depth interview about each member. Maybe that can be RZA's next project haha

EXCELLENT!!!!!!! Seriously, this documentary series FAR exceeded my expectations. Their impact and business sense - OMG - so impressive. The music, of course, masterful. Their message and branding of unity outreaches beyond just music. An artful expression, a body of work, of humanity! Beautifully laid out, wonderfully crafted (ie editing, production, direction). Even if you are not a hip-hop fan (or even better) this is a must see for a great understanding. For real. TOP NOTCH! Very well done. Showtime needs to give it an Emmy push in the Non-Fiction cats.

The amount of old footage from the glory days of the early 90s, and even the 80s, plus interviews with the Clan themselves, as well as close associates, makes this series worth the price of entry. Especially the OBD footage, much of which I'd never seen before.

Sacha Jenkins does an excellent job of making this series feel very personal to The Wu, and capturing the raw, grimy, very, VERY silly, yet deadly goddam serious vibe, which made 'Enter The Wu Tang' and '36 Chambers' (and many solo albums) so magical, back in the day.

There's been other docos about Wu Tang Clan, made by outsiders. But this series is different- Here, we get previously unreleased home videos, family photos, interviews with the whole Clan, plus family and friends (Rza's brother/Wu manager Devine Diggs, ODB's mother, and widow, etc), reminiscing as they wander around Park Hill projects, and visit old haunts, from when the Wu were coming up.

So personal, that it honestly borders on cringey, at times (which is a good thing, considering the fake, manicured front that most rappers show the the world), 'Of Mics...' tells the story of The Wu, more authentically than anything else I've seen.
