Wu-Tang Clan "7th Chamber" Freestyle (Video, 1994)


Taking it back to '94, here we have footage taken from the French film, "Culture Hip-Hop a New York" (according to the YouTube description). Over the "7th Chamber" instrumental, the Wu-Tang Clan kick rhymes at their rest. It features the RZA, U-God and Method Man and also appearances from Raekwon, GZA, and Ghostface Killah in the background, along with a glimpse of Ol' Dirty Bastard (R.I.P.). RZA was in a special zone back then, and their overall energy was magnetic. I hope they form like Voltron once again; hip-hop needs the Wu! Anyhow, it's a short clip - just over a minute - but these rare glimpses of behind the scenes moments of the Wu-Tang Clan should be treasured, shared and re-shared ad infinitum. Watch the video below and I'll share more random clips later...
