The Joe Rogan Experience because there's a whole another level of training to Wu-Tang like if you specifically put Wu-Tang on to train yeah like I kind of get your mentality in that that internal yeah you know feeling that you get because yeah that's one of my not my last fight but the fight before I walked out to protect your neck yes and like that just that mentality like yeah the beat and the drums yeah you just feel like this this I don't know it's like a badass martial arts so we're like a street martial artist well we drive to shows like when we leave the hotel and then we go to the arena when whenever I'm doing comedy we listen to protection act that's the first thing we listen to we get in the car either gravel pit or protect your neck a gravel Pit's crazy right yeah it's just I get it man that era of hip-hop to me is just like I mean obviously I'm old so like that era was when I was young and it was like when I was really getting into hip-hop but there's something about that era of hip-hop because it was hip-hop was only a couple of decades old then yep you know really didn't I mean Sugarhill Gang was like what 1979 78 like when when was um Rapper's Delight who I mean way before my time I was born 90. so like I think it was like 78 or 79. it could have been remember it could have been do you know okay so yeah so that's that's when rap was essentially modern rap was essentially born and then you know 10 years later 15 years later you know you got cool G Rap and DJ Polo you got all those 90s hip-hop guys yep you know correct that's officially released on September 16th 1975. there you go did you get to see the uh Wu-Tang Saga at all on Hulu no Joe okay you gotta watch it oh my God yeah okay I hadn't been excited about a show in a long time and I saw the Wu-Tang Saga and some people have certain you know whatever their opinions on it but I think to be able to see the background of every single member of Wu-Tang right so it follows the like each character individually and how they all came together and um Ashton Sanders Saunders who plays the the Rizza and just there's a scene in season two where he's sampling the music and
it takes him into this like all black room where the I can't even remember the uh the group that it that that he was sampling but they pop up and they're each playing their instruments and then like as he turns it down on the keyboard or on you know as he turns it down on the board then like the guy's still singing But like you can't hear him anymore apparently he was on set for for a lot of the like scenes and stuff just kind of overseeing everything or giving his input on like you know this is how it is but yeah being someone who loves to make music and produce beats and stuff it when I saw that scene like I had to rewind it I had to replay it because I'm like yeah exactly you when you're listening when you're trying to create music and maybe if you're sampling you might just hear the guitar and you don't want the drums or you don't want this thing so you like turn that down and you're like Ah that's the feeling that I want to sample so when I saw that I mean that was season two but I was already sold on the show before you know how many seasons are there I think only two and the third is coming yeah the third one's coming out the interesting thing about hip-hop is that it was the first musical genre at least a popular musical genre that sampled stuff like in that they and they it what you know it made the songs more interesting because you heard a little bit of an old song in there and you're like oh I remember that beat but then it's all these new lyrics over that beat that changes what that beat is and it's like there was this you know there was like a lot of debate in the early days of sampling like is this stealing like what is this it's like no because the other song still exists and it's obvious that this is a piece of that other song but it you know like but it enhances new music yeah exactly it's a totally different thing like taking little pieces of stuff and combining it together personally as as a it's a uh it's an appreciation yes right it's like someone created this masterpiece already and I took my favorite part from it and maybe just looped it or sped it up yeah and then kind of made a version of it not to like compete with yeah this other song
but it's like an appreciation like thank you you've just made this amazing you know piece of music that I can now listen to on repeat or listen to in a way that you know translates to me in a certain way and to Millions more I don't know I don't see any problem with it I think it's cool yeah it's not like they're pretending they didn't do that you know what I mean like stealing is like there's there's there's been bands that have gotten in trouble because they have a rift that sounds exactly like an old riff that's on a record and they don't give the other band credit it's not a sample they're just trying to copy it and then they wind up losing all the royalties well you know that's the business of the business yeah you got to get your cut too though right you can't be mad at the other guy that music business is a weird business you know like guys who are in a band together the band can be massive but two guys are like the head guys in the band and they make all the money yeah and then the other guys get pissed you know yeah I mean kind of going back to Wu-Tang I feel like that there was a little a little bit of that wasn't you know yeah there were any members in Wu-Tang at one point in time right yeah absolutely but I think one of the things was um the guys didn't really understand the music business Rizza was like the brains behind it he was the one who like you know had all of the kind of like business decisions and like hey I need you guys to sign this I need you guys to sign these contracts so we can get this money to make this music and um you know they kind of try trusted him and and did it and uh I guess it just it didn't end up really being like a good deal for everybody um they go over it a little bit in the show but I think there's another documentary that kind of goes a little bit more in depth you know with all that stuff but yeah man this is dirty yeah business is dirty it's a dirty game business uh yes it is with so many people and so many different you know yeah man we all got to get paid yeah that's just the fact that they brought those dudes together though is so interesting that the Wu-Tang Clan Has existed at all and it's so iconic you know like Wu-Tang is probably the most iconic hip-hop band of all time
yeah I mean off the top of my head I really can't think of someone else to that to compare that doesn't No One Compares it's a different thing yeah like Wu-Tang is like a mindset yeah like like when Dave Chappelle says Wutang is a punchline sometimes Michael says [Laughter] you can't use any other band yeah you really can't yeah you really can't and they're I mean they're they're they're there's logo their symbol they're known everywhere you can go to you know Jakarta Indonesia and it's like they know who Wu-Tang is or they've seen the symbol or something and the people in it vary so while you got Old Dirty Bastard who was just [ __ ] crazy yep and then you got the Giza who's like he's an elite chess player yeah and I think he's done like TED talks and [ __ ] no the guys is a genius yeah like a legitimate genius is a genius yeah I think he actually he studied and has a degree in something like very yeah something physics yeah I think he has like a Physics degree or something like that yeah the guy the guys what was his Ted Talk see if you can find out what the jizz's Ted Talk is but because I guarantee he did a TED Talk yeah look at that the genius of science the Giza and the science genius at tedx teen yeah I mean what the [ __ ] man it's incredible yeah I mean when you listen to some of his bars you're like wow exactly how do you yeah put those things together that's the other thing about 90s hip-hop and like that era and Wu-Tang Clan in particular like the lyrics were so good there was you would hear lyrics and you would just go oh [ __ ] like how did you put those together yeah to make that yeah you know scenario happened and yeah lyrics to me are everything I mean the beat is everything too I mean it's all together obviously but it's like man just something about like sharp lyrics it's it's exciting
