Tonight’s episode of @WuTangOnHulu is called “Criminology” wrote by me & directed by Matthew Ross (@lolafilm). It’s an “allegorical movie” episode inspired by Rae’s classic solo album, “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx” aka The Purple Tape featuring Lex Diamond and Tony Starks. 
Rae & Ghost went to Barbados, but they weren’t feeling the vibe, noting the black workers at the resort were treated poorly. So they bounced to Miami where they wrote a majority of the tracks before returning to NYC to record the classic gangster/mafioso inspired album.
If it feels confusing or clunky when you’re dropped into Lex’s world, missing a little backstory & details, that could be because the first 10 pages (helping to set the stage) were cut from the episode.

The beat you hear Rza composing throughout the opening scene is the bones of what becomes "Da Mystery of Chessboxin'" -- one of my favorite tracks off their debut album.
Divine tells Ghostface to use the Gavin Report to call all the local radio stations and push their new single. The Gavin Report was a radio-industry magazine that tracked Top 40 songs and trends across all genres of music.
