Robert Diggs knew that there was something special about the way he and his friends from Staten Island and Brooklyn told stories; then they cut a song called "Protect Ya Neck" and the world hasn't been the same since.
When Wu-Tang Clan's underground rap single blows up, business moves quickly; despite their success, things were still going on back home in the projects that affected their friends and family; the Wu weren't immune to it, nor were they bulletproof.
The sweet smell of success was intoxicating but the death of a friend changed the way each member saw the world and the Wu; the members would all go on to have successful solo careers, and Wu-Tang's global footprint was massive.
Twenty-five years in, a family looks to cement a legacy; 'Ol Dirty is dead, everybody has gone solo and the "W" is fading; yet Wu-Tang Clan, their logo, their music and their message remain indelible fixtures in the history of music and America.
