The RZA, the GZA, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, Method Man, Inspectah Deck, U-God, Masta Killa and Cappadonna represent hip-hop\u2019s greatest squad and one of the last standing from the genre\u2019s golden era in the 1990s. Each is a respected solo artist. The RZA and Method Man are also movie stars.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>What I remember most clearly about \u201cThe Final Chamber\u201d tour\u2019s Seattle stop was the way the performance\u2019s construction mimicked a back-in-the-day movie marathon. There were built-in intermissions, during which advertisements for fine Wu-Tang products played on large screens. The featured trailer promoted \u201c<\/span><span>One Spoon of Chocolate<\/span><span>,\u201d the RZA\u2019s recently released blaxploitation-style revenge thriller, but the show also pushed other official Wu-Tang merchandise, including a video game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Art and commerce are necessary bedfellows, a truth the Wu-Tang Clan not only knows, but uses to their advantage. <\/span><span>Billboard Boxscore\u2019s August 2025 <\/span><span>estimate places \u201cThe Final Chamber\u201d tour\u2019s gross from the 27 shows scheduled between June and July at $30.6 million, with a $1.2 million average gross per show.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><span>You\u2019ll be excused for viewing that shameless promotion with cynicism as long as you also leave room to appreciate it as an indicator of how far the group has pulled popular culture. Fans love clocking their samples from kung fu movies, shouting out \u201cTiger style!\u201d from \u201cExecutioners from Shaolin,\u201d or the definitive quote about Shaolin shadowboxing teaming up with the Wu-Tang sword style: It could be dangerous! And profitable!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>But consider where The RZA and his late cousin, Ol\u2019 Dirty Bastard, along with other members, were first exposed to these flicks. When they were kids, the Staten Island, N.Y.-based crew sought them out in theaters on 42nd Street in Manhattan, the low-culture hub immortalized as The Deuce. Today, the spirit and dialogue of those movies take center stage at some of the world\u2019s biggest venues. \u201cThe Final Chamber\u201d tour recently completed its European and Australian legs. Japan got its turn on Sunday, May 24, after the RZA\u2019s scheduled appearance at Crunchyroll\u2019s Anime Awards<\/span><span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-198\" height=\"691\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dcfdd2bde1072c5b587632a2ad2eec77-1024x691.jpg\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dcfdd2bde1072c5b587632a2ad2eec77-1024x691.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dcfdd2bde1072c5b587632a2ad2eec77-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dcfdd2bde1072c5b587632a2ad2eec77-768x518.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dcfdd2bde1072c5b587632a2ad2eec77-1536x1037.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dcfdd2bde1072c5b587632a2ad2eec77.jpg 1692w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<span>(Crunchyroll)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>\u201cOur tongue is like a sword,\u201d RZA once told <\/span><span>Vanity Fair<\/span><span>. \u201cIf you think you\u2019re the best lyricist, you must be using the Wu-Tang sword, and so we\u2019re the Wu-Tang Clan.

Today, you can find exhaustive lists of Asian martial arts classics that are either sampled on their albums or referenced within their lyrics. YouTube has playlists dedicated to that task that could keep you couch-bound for days.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>But even if you never attended any Asian film festivals or other events, you have likely benefited from the larger market exposure the group helped to inspire.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>\u201cI maintain that RZA was single-handedly responsible for the world\u2019s renewed interest in kung fu movies,\u201d writes \u201cThe Baddest Bitch in the Room\u201d author Sophia Chang <\/span><span>in a 2012 essay <\/span><span>for the Asian American Writers\u2019 Workshop. \u201cWithout Wu-Tang, \u2018Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon\u2019 and \u2018Hero\u2019 would not have met with the success they did.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>We take it for granted that these films hold prized placement in American popular culture, along with hip-hop\u2019s influence across Asia. But that wasn\u2019t always true. Long before RZA and the GZA became musical legends \u2013 when their friends called them Robert Diggs and Gary Grice\u00a0 \u2013 martial arts cinema was relegated to cinematic margins.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>Jeff Chang, author of \u201cCan\u2019t Stop Won\u2019t Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation\u201d (and of no relation to Sophia), puts it more bluntly in <\/span><span>a 2023 podcast episode for KEXP-FM.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>The reason the RZA or any non-white American fans of these movies were exposed to them was because of racism, he said. Films from the Shaw Brothers\u2019 catalog and other Hong Kong-based studios were segregated into run-down theaters, often in the inner city, where tickets cost around a buck and anyone could hang out and enjoy some air conditioning.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>\u201cSo the folks who are fans of Black exploitation movies go to the kung fu movies, and they see the same types of connections between . . . these Confucian, Taoist and Zen-like principles and values, and these ideas of loyalty and brotherhood,\u201d he explained.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Thus, in the discriminatory early marketing of a cinematic genre, we eventually reap the benefits of two non-white cultures meeting and mixing concepts. Hip-hop prowess is established and honed through lyrical battles. Martial arts films portray competition as a means of pushing your opponent to do better, to go further. Then the Wu-Tang Clan\u2019s first album, \u201cEnter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)\u201d comes out, and as Jeff Chang describes it, \u201ccompetition gets turned into this beautiful cultural building type of thing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Megan Thee Stallion\" class=\"wp-image-199\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/792840e829f1752aff4d5c55f4b34068-768x576.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/792840e829f1752aff4d5c55f4b34068-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/792840e829f1752aff4d5c55f4b34068-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/792840e829f1752aff4d5c55f4b34068.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><span>(Kevin Winter\/Getty Images for Live Nation)<\/span> Megan Thee Stallion performs onstage during the Hot Girl Summer Tour at Crypto.com Arena on June 21, 2024 in Los Angeles, California.<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>Part of that building inspired the next generation of rappers to incorporate their love of other aspects of Asian pop culture, such as anime, into their prose and performance style. Hip-hop\u2019s biggest anime ambassador these days may be Megan Thee Stallion, who built a whole alter ego, Todoroki Tina, around her\u00a0 favorite character from \u201cMy Hero Academia.\u201d And her explanation of why she loves anime is very similar to the philosophies that drew RZA to kung fu movies and, eventually, Asian philosophies and martial arts.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>\u201cI like how you grow with the character, and you see all the trials and tribulations he\u2019s got to go through, and then you see him meet new people along the line that\u2019s really helping him become the hero that he\u2019s meant to be,\u201d <\/span><span>she told Crunchyroll<\/span><span>. \u201cSo, I feel like I apply that to my life a lot.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>These connections made anime and martial arts cinema\u2019s incorporation into hip-hop, an art form built on collaboration and sonic collage, somewhat inevitable.
