Wu-Tang Clan kicked off their final tour this weekend with a career-spanning set in Baltimore – check out footage and setlist below.
The legendary hip-hop crew announced the ‘Wu-Tang Forever: The Final Chapter’ North American tour earlier this year, with support coming from Run The Jewels, and the opening night went down at the CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore on Friday (June 6).
All surviving members – RZA, GZA, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Method Man, Inspectah Deck, U-God and Masta Killa – were on hand at the show and they each took their turns in playing tracks from their solo careers alongside Wu-Tang classics.
Among standout moments were the introduction of the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s son Young Dirty Bastard for a run through his hits ‘Shimmy Shimmy Ya’, ‘Brooklyn Zoo’ and ‘Got Your Money’, and RZA rapping a medley of ‘Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)’ tracks over The O’Jays’ ‘Family Reunion’.
