\n\tSeveral times throughout the evening, the Wu-Tang Clan<\/a>\u2019s longtime leader and producer RZA<\/a> told the crowd that this show was not just a celebration of the Staten Island pioneering hip-hop group \u2014 nearing the end of its final tour, playing its last-ever show in New York City at Madison Square Garden Wednesday night (July 16) \u2014 but that it was a celebration of hip-hop as a whole, in all its half-century-old glory.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tWu-Tang Clan Drop Epic Trailer For Final Chamber Tour: \u2018They Have Conquered, Endured & Remained\u2026\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\n\tAnd throughout the night, 32 years after the release of the group\u2019s iconic debut album Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers<\/em>, the eight surviving members and related affiliates made that repeated declaration a reality, with a star-studded list of guest performers that were a testament to long-running friendships, classic songs and the sheer amount of genius that has emerged from the Five Boroughs as the hip-hop genre and culture has grown and evolved over the years.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter a first segment (of four on the night) in which the Wu-Tang Clan emerged one by one to perform the majority of the tracks off Enter the Wu-Tang<\/em>, the group \u2014 RZA, GZA<\/a>, Inspectah Deck<\/a>, Raekwon<\/a>, U-God<\/a>, Ghostface Killah<\/a>, Masta Killa and, finally, Method Man<\/a>, with an assist from the late Ol\u2019 Dirty Bastard<\/a>\u2019s son Young Dirty Bastard \u2014 began inviting New York hip-hop royalty to the stage. The LOX<\/a> (Jadakiss<\/a>, Styles P<\/a> and Sheek Louch<\/a>) and Havoc<\/a> of Mobb Deep<\/a> joined Ghostface and Raekwon during their own dedicated segment; Method Man brought out Redman<\/a>, then Lil Cease to perform Meth\u2019s duet with The Notorious B.I.G.<\/a>, \u201cThe What\u201d; and Lil Kim<\/a>, Big Daddy Kane<\/a>, Slick Rick<\/a> \u2014 who emerged from a trap door in the floor \u2014 and SWV<\/a> all came out, with the collected guests performing hits and street anthems such as \u201cMoney Power Respect,\u201d \u201cShook Ones Pt. II,\u201d \u201cChildren\u2019s Story,\u201d \u201cQuiet Storm (Remix),\u201d \u201cDa Rockwilder,\u201d \u201cWarm It Up Kane,\u201d \u201cAnything\u201d and more.<\/p>\n

\n\tKicking off with \u201cBring da Ruckus,\u201d the crew kept the party going for two hours, going through tracks from its group albums and solo projects, several of which are classics on their own \u2014 \u201cIncarcerated Scarfaces,\u201d \u201cIce Cream,\u201d \u201cBring the Pain,\u201d \u201cYou\u2019re All I Need to Get By,\u201d \u201cLiquid Swords\u201d and more. RZA also took time to honor several hip-hop icons who had passed away, including Nate Dogg<\/a>, Nipsey Hussle<\/a>, Guru<\/a> of Gang Starr<\/a>, Phife Dawg of A Tribe Called Quest<\/a>, Biz Markie<\/a> (singing \u201cJust a Friend\u201d with the crowd) and, toward the end, the late ODB, who died in 2004, with a tribute that included YDB leading the crowd through \u201cShimmy Shimmy Ya\u201d and \u201cGot Your Money.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tOver the years it had been at times difficult to get all eight remaining members, plus honorary inductee Cappadonna<\/a>, together on one stage, with conflicting schedules and interpersonal difficulties sometimes coming to the fore. But in recent times, the unity of the Clan has shown through more clearly, and that was on full display at the Garden, with camaraderie and love the themes, both explicitly from RZA\u2019s interjections and implicitly from the support each member showed each other. Now, on the Final Chamber farewell tour with Run the Jewels<\/a> opening, there are only two more shows left, with the purported last-ever Wu-Tang Clan performance set for Friday (July 18) in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter Method Man, Raekwon and Inspectah Deck brought everything to a climax with \u201cC.R.E.A.M.,\u201d RZA once again took the mic. \u201cHip-hop has been inspiring the entire f\u2013king world for over 50 years, y\u2019all!\u201d he yelled, before leading the crowd in a \u201cWu-Tang Forever\u201d chant. Fittingly, the final song of the evening was off that same-titled sophomore group album, released in 1997: \u201cTriumph.\u201d That\u2019s one of many words that could be used to sum up such a memorable night.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
