Wu-Tang Clan – Execution in Autumn (“Pay what you like” 7-inch)
Received an e-mail from Soul Temple earlier tonight regarding the shipping issues they’ve been having lately which explains the delay on my instrumental copy of Twelve Reasons To Die that I ordered a few weeks ago. In response to this issue they have released an exclusive/unreleased track from RZA’s vault titled Execution in Autumn which features RZA, U-God, Raekwon, and Inspectah Deck and production from Frank Dukes which you can hear above. What’s really awesome though is that they are releasing the track and instrumental on a “pay what you feel basis” 7-inch record which can be purchased until May 31st. Nice track and awesome deal on the 7-inch, definitely makes up for the slow shipping in my opinion. You can download the song and purchase the 7-inch over here.

Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai
I wrote about Le Samurai last night and wanted to post a little bit about this movie too. As I mentioned in the previous post, Ghost Dog was essentially a remake of Le Samurai but was told in a way that was relevant to the time that it was filmed. Francois de Roubaix’s score for Le Samurai played a big role in setting the tone for the original movie and this idea was carried over perfectly with the decision to have RZA work on the music for this film.
Both films tell the story of a man following the way of a samurai in a modern setting, with the score of each movie really setting the mood for how we are to experience this as we watch. While Le Samurai’s soundtrack featured an excellent selection of jazz numbers that fit the more noir type setting perfectly, RZA’s work on Ghost Dog really helped the film have a darker atmosphere and display a more gritty or harsh reality than that of the original movie. As I mentioned last night, both movies are good in their own ways and I feel the same way about the soundtracks as well. Francois de Roubaix and RZA really deliver what I would consider perfect film scores that really reflect on the mood and theme being presented in each one.
Above is a great scene from the movie. In a nod to Wu Tang, Ghost Dog and a character played by RZA greet each other with the following: Power Equality Always C Everything or P.E.A.C.E. This part probably goes over a lot of people’s heads, but I imagine a lot of Wu fans got it!
Below is one of the main songs from the film, really fits the theme of the movie well.

Turntable.fm – Hip Hop : Shaolin Temple
Click the image above to check out the room!
I’ve been a Turntable user since around the time the site started up earlier last year and over the last week or two I’ve started to get back into the site after a short hiatus. Used to spend hours sitting in the various hip hop rooms, chatting with some cool folks while discovering some new music at the same time. Coming back to the site after a few months, it looks like a lot of the hip hop community is a little more split up now, but there are still some great places to hang out in if you want to hear some good music and talk to some nice people. I will try to feature some of my favorite rooms here on my site.
The first room I would like to share is Hip Hop : Shaolin Temple. I’ve noticed a lot of the old members I used to hang out with frequent this room often and I can see why. Lots of awesome plays over here, especially if you are a big Wu-Tang fan (and who isn’t???). I’ve seen Wu rounds before on TT, but I don’t think I have ever seen a group play nonstop for almost an hour like we did tonight! There’s certainly more music in the room than just the Wu-Tang Clan, but it’s nice to chill with some people who don’t mind a round or two of their material. The room also has an excellent bot that keeps everything running smoothly and there’s always a decent sized group to play with. Drop in sometime if you want to listen to some good stuff.
