Hip-hop legends Wu-Tang Clan announced today, Nov. 7, they will be releasing a new documentary, For The Children: 25 Years of Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) this Friday, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their groundbreaking debut album, Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers).

Coming this Friday on YouTube, check out a short film we did with @CRTFDClassics called “For The Children: 25 Years of Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)” #WuTang25 #36Chambers #WuWednesday #asapmob #WuTang pic.twitter.com/4sE0ezIS3o

The influential group has released several other documentaries over the years, yet, as Spin points out, this one "differentiates itself as a celebration of the group's legendary debut," released Nov. 9, 1993. The film's title is a reference to Wu-Tang's Ol' Dirty Bastard infamously taking the stage during Shawn Colvin's Song Of The Year win for "Sunny Came Home" at the 40th GRAMMY Awards to announce "Wu-Tang is for the children...Puffy is good, but Wu-Tang is the best!" Wu-Tang Forever was nominated for Best Rap Album but lost to Diddy's No Way Out.

Wu-Tang Clan has not only launched the careers of many other rappers with their Killa Bees, but has also paved the way the for other rap collectives, including ASAP Mob, whose members include ASAP Ferg and ASAP Rocky. "If you don't plant seeds it won't be forever," says Ferg in the documentary's trailer.

As Spin reported last month, Hulu announced they would be launching a new show, "Wu-Tang: An American Saga" about the group's origin story, to be co-written and directed by the group's leader RZA. 

Update: For The Children: 25 Years of Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) is now streaming on YouTube.

"I just wanna leave the whole world inspired. I just wanna leave a trail of inspiration," the hip-hop powerhouse says in the trailer, which you can watch above. The full-length feature is now streaming on Netflix.

Scott and his partner, Kylie Jenner, along with their adorable daughter Stormi, attended the Santa Monica, Calif. premiere last night, making for the one-year-old's red carpet debut. The film also had special "fan premieres" across the country yesterday, as well as a throwback Blockbuster-inspired pop-up in Houston last week, where the rapper surprised his hometown fans by signing VHS copies of the film.

If seeing the trailer has you ready to catch the "Sicko Mode" artist in-person A.S.A.P., you're in luck.

NYC Approves Wu-Tang Clan, Biggie Smalls Streets nyc-council-approves-wu-tang-clan-and-notorious-big-street-names

NYC Council Approves Wu-Tang Clan And Notorious B.I.G. Street Names

NYC is honoring rap history by voting to rename two streets after the iconic rappers

Notorious B.I.G. and the Wu-Tang Clan are steps closer to becoming a permanent part of New York City, their hometown and one of the birthplaces of hip-hop.

The New York City council has unanimously voted to have a Booklyn street become Christopher Wallace Way (after Biggie) and a Staten Island street become Wu-Tang Clan District. The measures are still pending Mayor Bill de Blasio's signature.

"As soon as you put a name on a street sign, you say something about the public importance of that individual," University of Tenn. Geography Professor Derek Alderman told NPR. "Hip-hop deserves that respect."

Brooklyn Community Board 2 first approved the re-naming petition 33-1 in November.

NYC resident LeRoy McCarthy, who led the naming initiatives for both streets, thinks naming a street after Biggie symbolizes something greater than the rapper. "It symbolizes a culture. It symbolizes a borough. It symbolizes a people, and hip-hop is worldwide,” he told Rolling Stone.

The council also voted to name a street after Woody Guthrie in Coney Island, where the iconic folk singer lived in the 1940s.

​

The block expected to become Christopher Wallace Way is on St. James Place between Fulton Street and Gates Avenue where B.I.G. actually grew up. Wu-Tang Clan District will be centered on the intersection of Vanderbilt Avenue and Targee Street, the location of Sobel Court Park, according to Rolling Stone.

The news of the council passing the measures came shortly after Chuck D was announced as chairman of the celebrity board for the Universal Hip-Hop Museum to open in Brooklyn in 2022.

Bandsintown, the concert discovery platform, released their 2018 Year in Live Music report, revealing trending artists from their over 50 million global users, featuring the artists who were RSVP'd (GRAMMY winners Twenty One Pilots top the list), as well as their top five "fastest growing new artists," led by Bhad Bhabie and JPEGMAFIA.

To close out a banner year for live music, Bandsintown reflects on the milestones and trends that defined 2018. https://t.co/C7F5Rj6PtZ pic.twitter.com/XLyQ4HqYOX

— Bandsintown (@Bandsintown) December 19, 2018

In addition to the more than 50 million fans who use Bandsintown, the company reports that over 500,000 artists are registered on the platform. The "Artist With The Most RSVP's" list comes from the numbers of users who said they planned on going to an artist's show (regardless of if they actually bought tickets).

The highest number of users wanted to catch Twenty One Pilots on their 2018 Bandito Tour, followed by GRAMMY nominees Panic! At The Disco and Shawn Mendes. Number four on the list is The 1975, with GRAMMY nominee Ariana Grande the No. 5 most RSVP'd artist, with fans preparing for her 2019 Sweetener World Tour.

Bandsintown’s "Fastest Growing New Artists" list is led by Bhad Bhabie, the rap moniker of 15-year-old internet personality Danielle Bregolli, followed by L.A.-based socially conscious rapper JPEGMAFIA, who was recently announced as support for Vince Staples' 2019 tour. No. 3 on the list is hip-hop/spoken-word artist Hobo Johnson, followed by rapper Lil Skies and psych rock group Blac Rabbit.
