I was catching up on my DVR recently and I almost missed this performance of Raekwon ft Ghostface Killah and The Roots. Raekwon’s Shaolin vs Wu Tang is in stores now. Also, you can get the Wu Tang bath mat pictured above here.

A few observations: A) I’m not sure why Snoop Dogg can’t consistently come up with bars like he does on “Gangsta’s Life”, but its good […]
