Wu-Tang: An American Saga

Its happened, Hulu finally gave us something precious. I haven’t been this happy since Netflix’s The Get Down (That sadly ended after 2 parts) and Love Craft Country ( THEY FUCKIN CHEATED US) but I digress. The Wu-Tang series is so fucking good. The cast is on point. They came correct!! Featuring the handsome and truly talented, Ashton Sanders, Shameik Moore (The Get Down), Siddiq Saunderson (Boomerang), Dave East (Rapper) and Bokeem Woodbine (Crooklyn, Juice). They also have the one and only Erika Alexander (Maxine from Living Single) who plays RZA’s mom.

This Hulu series has us follow Bobby (RZA). A young man that doesn’t realize he’s about to change the game forever. Bobby is that awkward Black kid who doesn’t necessarily give a shit about running no block. He lives and breathes music. Or at least that’s what it feels like. That’s what he wants to do. But sometimes, you don’t get to do the things you want.

Bobby is searching for something bigger. He’s been in the music scene and he understands how quickly it can fuck you. Homie is trying to do it better, and not just for him but his whole fucking crew. Generational fucking wealth, ya dig? This means gaining trust, creating a path and getting his friends to leave the streets alone. (Easier said than done when you’re the main provider.)

It’s a beautiful story about a group of friends fighting against all the system on all fronts. We know how it ends, but to see what Wu-Tang had to go through and experience to be the Wu-Tang they are just makes you appreciate the hustle even more. The series has been approved for their final season which I’m excited to see the characters react to a game we already know will last forever.

👐 FOREVER
