The first question for any Wu-Tang show: Who’s going to be there? Photos from recent stops on the N.Y. State of Mind tour indicate RZA, GZA, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, Inspectah Deck, Cappadonna, U-God, and Masta Killa are on the bus – an impressive set of the Staten Island collective, though notably missing Method Man. Their 1993 album Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) only spent six months contending for the decade’s best hip-hop offering before Nas’ lyrical triumph Illmatic hit. Fellow iconic New Yorker Busta Rhymes opens.
