I picked up the Wu-Tang Manual after checking it out on Amazon.com I think. The RZA can't play chess for a damn, but the book contains layers upon layers. Then I hear this interview conducted by Terry Gross. I remember an interview Kevin Powell conducted with Wynton Marsalis, and Powell gave Marsalis a softball that allowed Wynton to go off on one of his anti-rap tangents. Listening to the interview with the RZA it is clear that Wynton's problem is that he has a very different conception of disciple--again that word. And that he doesn't have the ear to hear what's going on with something like Enter the 36 Chambers. Now granted, it isn't necessarily like Ludacris has an ear for The Magic House either...but you know what I mean.
