RZA, The Writer

Wu Tang's RZA continues to add to his creative palette. In addition to being a producer, actor, director among other things, he's also an author.

Although "The Tao of Wu" is not RZA'a first stab at writing, he should garner some attention with this collection of tales and wisdom. His first book was "The Wu Tang Manual" in 2005.

RZA was recently on National Public Radio's (NPR's) All Things Considered to talk about his book, his life and how he learned to score movie soundtracks.

Get out your reading glasses hip hoppers, there's going to be a test. kfox.

The Message is in the Movies

One of my fav hip hoppers is showing up more and more on the big screen. That would be Common. "Finding Forever" is a pretty good project, but in addition to droppin knowledge, Common is expanding his creative base.

Check out this interview on HipHopDx.com

I like the foray into acting for Common. He does what he does and he does it nicely - at least lyrically. But you know, people have to grow and challenge themselves. And what I really don't want to see is a rapper rappin at 65 years of age; no, they should not be doing that as a way of life, but acting ... yes, that is a respectable thing to be doing at 65,

Do you feel me hip hoppers? kfox
