The Legend Of The Wu-tang: The Videos
About an hour-and-a-half of video footage featuring the Wu-Tang Clan is collected on this DVD, the bulk of the program being devoted to 14 music videos for tracks from their first four albums (all but one appearing on the first three of those). Unsurprisingly, all seven of their chart singles from the era ("Method Man," "C.R.E.A.M.," "Can It All Be So Simple," "It's Yourz," "Gravel Pit," "Protect Ya Neck (The Jump Off)," and "Uzi (Pinki Ring)") are represented, though the video for "It's Yourz" also features "Older Gods." As you might expect (and particularly in the earlier videos), much of the imagery emphasizes the seamier side of life in the urban projects, the band dressed in heavy coats and woolly hats as if it's perpetually the coldest of winters. Unlike many of their peers from the projects, Wu-Tang Clan's success helped them experience something of life outside that milieu, and some of the segments do show them playing live before exuberant audiences and getting their eyeful of nubile young women.
