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. Image 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. ImageImageImage

#WuTangOnHulu Reference Guide for Episode 9 - I Declare War.

I knew that DAT from last episode would make another appearance. But when do we get to hear what they recorded on it?! 😂 The movie that Dennis watches throughout the episode is the classic 1983 film Shaolin and Wu-Tang (imdb.com/title/tt008306…) directed by and starring Gordon Liu. #WuTangOnHulu

#WuTangOnHulu Guide for Episode 8 - Labels.

This ep was written to shoot each Act as a "oner" -- one single continuous take. Shout out to Tara (director), Niels (DP), Jon (Steadicam) & whole cast/crew for pulling it off w/ limited resources & abbreviated shooting schedule. 🙏 Bobby meets a player from the Houston Rockets (#FreeHK) who's originally from LeFrak City, Queens and was in the Dunk Contest (on another team) the previous year.
Who that is? 👀😂
