>>> TIME FOR A SPECIAL TAKEOVER EDITION OF FALLBACK.
JOINING ME NOW, SIX MEMBERS OF
THE LEGENDARY WU-TANG CLAN.
YOU’VE HEARD OF THEM BECAUSE
THEY’VE SOLD OVER 40 MILLION
ALBUMS WORLDWIDE, AND RECENTLY
HAD A DISTRICT NAMED AFTER THEM
IN THE HOME TOWN OF STATEN
ISLAND.
ISLAND. THE NEW PROJECT IS A DOCUMENTARY
OF MIKES AND MEN.
IT LOOKS AT THEIR OLD STOMPING
GROUND AROUND THE CITY.
♪ I GREW UP ON THE CRIME SIDE ♪
♪ THE BLACK, RED, YELLOW, BROWN,
WHITE ALL ROCKING WITH US ♪
>> THEY’RE ALSO BACK ON TOUR
RIGHT NOW CELEBRATING THE 25th
ANNIVERSARY OF THEIR DEBUT
ALBUM.
ALBUM. ONE OF MY FAVORITE ALBUMS OF ALL
TIME IN ANY GENRE.
ENTER THE WU-TANG 36 CHAMBERS.
WHICH OF COURSE WEN THEY CALLED
CLAN?
CLAN? >> THE NAME OF THE GROUP.
WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?
>> IT REPRESENTS A STYLE OF
RHYMING.
RHYMING. AND CLAN MEANS FAMILY.
>> LET ME SAY, I WILL SO EXCITED
TO WELCOME ALL OF YOU HERE.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE,
WU-TANG CLAN.
WU-TANG CLAN. WE’RE GOING TO GET TO SOME OF
YOUR FALLBACKS.
YOUR FALLBACKS. GLADYS KNIGHT.
GLADYS KNIGHT. LET’S TALK ABOUT THE GOOD OLD
DAYS.
DAYS. SHE SAID IT.
YOU SAID IT.
WHAT DOES THIS PROJECT MEAN TO
YOU AND YOUR COLLEAGUES?
>> TO LOOK BACK ON OUR PAST AND
SEE WHERE WE ARE TODAY.
THIS DOCUMENTARY IS VERY
NOSTALGIC, VERY REFLECTIVE.
I THINK IT IS A GREAT TRIBUTE.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DON’T GET A
CHANCE TO BE TALKED ABOUT,
DOCUMENTED UNTIL AFTER THEY DIE.
WE’RE LIVING AND WE GET A CHANCE
TO SEE IT AND OUR CHILDREN GET
TO LEARN ABOUT THE STRUGGLES WE
WENT THROUGH AND THE MUSIC WE
CREATED THAT TOOK US OUT OF THAT
STRUGGLE.
STRUGGLE. >> WHEN YOU LOOK AROUND, WHAT DO
THEY NEED TO FALL BACK ON?
>> IT IS THIS FOOD IS MESSED UP.
ALL THE GMO FOOD.
LIKE, THEY MAKING IT, LIKE
EVERYTHING IS CLONED NOWADAYS.
SO I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO EAT.
I’M LOOKING AT THE WATERMELONS.
DON’T EAT THE SEEDS.
NO BLACK SEEDS.
BANANA WAS LIKE THIS BIG.
I AIN’T NEVER SEEN BANANAS LIKE
THAT.
THAT. >> I LIKE TO FALLBACK IS THIS
GUN VIOLENCE STUFF.
THIS GUN STUFF IS OUT OF
CONTROL.
CONTROL. YOU KNOW, SENSELESS PEOPLE.
BLACK MEN IN THE HOOD, WE ARE
GETTING SHOT IN RECORD NUMBERS
RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT NOW. SO IF I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING
ABOUT THAT.
ABOUT THAT. >> TO THE ATF ON THAT.
>> PHARMACEUTICAL MARKETS.
WHICH DON’T SPECIALIZE IN HEALTH
AND HEALING PEOPLE.
ONLY KEEPING YOU SEDATED AND
DRUGGED UP.
DRUGGED UP. WHICH LEADS TO YOUR DEMISE IN
THE END ANYWAY.
>> I PERSONALLY THAT, THERE IS A
LITTLE WAR GOING ON IN THE HIP
HOP CULTURE.
HOP CULTURE. LIKE A YOUNG HEAD, OLD HEAD TYPE
OF THING.
OF THING. I THINK THE YOUNG HEADS SHOULD
FALL BACK WITH THE OLD HEAD
BUSINESS.
BUSINESS. ONE DAY YOU’RE GOING TO BE RIGHT
HERE, BRO.
HERE, BRO. >> IF YOU’RE LUCKY, YOU GET TO
BE AN OLD HEAD.
>> YOU MIGHT BE AN OLD HEAD.
WE’VE GOT TO COIN THAT TERM AND
MAKE MORE, IT GOT TO MEAN MORE
NOW.
NOW. LIKE OLD HEAD IS AN OBJECTIVE TO
MAKE IT TO NOW.
>> DO YOU THINK WHAT YOU ARE
CALLING YOUR YOUNG HEADS, DO YOU
THINK THEY’RE COMING INTO
SUCCESS TOO QUICK?
AND THEY DON’T NECESSARILY HAVE
ALL THE LEG WORK AND TIME
REFLECT THAT MAYBE YOU HAD
COMING UP?
COMING UP? >> SORT OF.
>> WE DON’T KNOW THE ROAD THEY
TOOK TO GET THERE.
I THINK RIGHT NOW --
>> THEY’RE COMING IN 16 AND 17.
THEY’RE COMING IN WHEN THE MONEY
WAS CREATED.
WAS CREATED. >> YES.
>> YES. THEY HAVE THE EASY PLATFORM.
WE WAS IN 15 PASSENGER VANS.
DOING THE LEG WORK.
GOING TO THE RADIO, DOING
COLLEGES.
COLLEGES. REALLY, REALLY ON IT.
THEN IT WAS LIKE, YOU CAN SAY
WHATEVER.
WHATEVER. >> I THINK THAT ISLAM PHOBIA,
BETTER FALL BACK ON THAT.
PEOPLE, IF YOU PAY ATTENTION,
THE WORD ISLAM MEANS PEACE.
HOW DO YOU HAVE A PHOBIA AGAINST
PEACE?
PEACE? IF YOU GO BACK AND YOU LOOK AT
THE SYNAGOGUES.
THE SYNAGOGUES. THAT’S WHERE THE PEOPLE COME TO
PRAY AND WORSHIP.
HOW DO YOU SHOOT UP A PLACE LIKE
THAT WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE MOST
VULNERABLE?
VULNERABLE? YOU LOOK AT THESE CHURCHES DOWN
IN SRI LANKA.
THIS IS A PLACE WHERE A TSUNAMI
HIT AND MANY PEOPLE, FROM ALL
FORMS OF LIFE, NOW THIS IS A
PLACE OF WORSHIP.
I DON’T CARE IF YOU BUILD
YOURSELF, YOU KNOW, A
THEN DESTROY THAT AND DESTROY
THE PEOPLE INSIDE.
YOU NEED TO FALL BACK ON THAT.
>> LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT
SOMETHING YOU SAID ON ELECTION
DAY 2016.
DAY 2016. >> I’M NOT GOING TO, YOU KNOW,
HIRE A PAINTER TO COOK MY
DINNER.
DINNER. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
I’M GOING TO HIRE A CHEF.
EVEN THOUGH HE KNOWS -- TO ME,
HILLARY IS THE CHEF FOR OUR
COUNTRY.
COUNTRY. >> WE HAD ABOUT TWO YEARS OF THE
DONALD TRUMP PRESIDENCY.
WERE YOU RIGHT?
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> AMERICA IS A COUNTRY THAT’S
ABOUT FREEDOM, JUSTICE, EQUALITY
FOR THE PEOPLE.
IF THERE WAS A COUNTRY THAT
WANTS US TO GROW AND TO BE THE
BEST THAT WE CAN AND EVERY MAN
TO HAVE AND WE PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE
TO THE FLAG -- IF THIS IS THAT
KI OF COUNTRY, RIGHT?
HILLARY CLINTON WOULD HAVE BEEN
A PRESIDENT FOR US DURING THAT
TIME, DURING THAT ELECTION.
IF AMERICA IS A CORPORATION AND
JUST A BIG COMPANY, YEAH, THEN
DONALD TRUMP IS A GOOD GUY TO
RUN IT.
RUN IT. >> EXACTLY.
>> EXACTLY. HE’S A BUSINESS MAN.
>> DO WE WANT OUR SOCIETY TO BE
WRONG LIKE A FOR PROFIT
CORPORATION OR SOMETHING THAT
INCLUDES EVERYONE.
INCLUDES EVERYONE. >> FOR THE LONG TIME IT’S BETTER
THATTED WHICH ARE EDIT INCLUDES
WHEN FOOD IS GENETICALLY
MODIFIED, THERE IS NO CHANCE
FOR -- NO CHANCE FOR THAT WILD
FLOWER TO GROW SOMETHING NEW.
THAT BECOMES EVEN MORE PROSPER
PROSPEROUS
PROSPEROUS PROSPEROUS.
PROSPEROUS. IT’S COOKIE CUT.
IT’S NOW EVERY DAY.
IT’S SO CONTROLLED, RIGHT?
IT’S SO CONTROLLED THAT THE
OPTION OF RANDOMISM DOESN’T
HAPPEN.
HAPPEN. IF YOU DON’T HAVE A RANDOM, WHY
FOCUS ON YOURSELF AS A RANDOM?
THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A MINUTE.
>> YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT THE Y
CHROMOSOME IS.
CHROMOSOME IS. THE POINT IS THAT WE, IT’S A
REAL COUNTRY FOR THE PEOPLE.
I TOOK A PLEDGE WHEN I WAS A
KID.
KID. YOU TOOK IT AND HE TOOK IT, HE
TOOK IT.
TOOK IT. OUR PRESIDENT HAD TO TAKE IT.
IT WAS PART OF OUR SCHOOLING.
IT SAID THAT THIS IS ONE NATION
UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE.
THAT MEANS WE CAN’T BE DIVIDED.
YOU CAN’T CALL HIM LATIN
AMERICAN OR ASIAN AMERICAN.
IT’S INDIVISIBLE.
IT’S INDIVISIBLE. IF YOU ARE DEALING WAY COMPANY
AND CORPORATION, WE HAVE
DEPARTMENTS AND EVERYTHING THAT
DIVIDES EVERYBODY.
DIVIDES EVERYBODY. THAT’S THE HUSTLE.
I DON’T CARE WHO IS THE
PRESIDENT.
PRESIDENT. MY COMMUNITY HAS NOT CHANGED
MUCH.
MUCH. >> THAT’S RIGHT.
>> CHICAGO HAS NOT CHANGED MUCH
IN OUR COMMUNITIES.
NO MATTER WHO IS THE PRESIDENT,
BRO.
BRO. THERE IS STILL VIOLENCE AND
DRUGS AND POVERTY.
IT’S STILL THE SAME PROMISE THAT
IT’S GOING TO BE SOMETHING
DIFFERENT AND IT HAS NOT
CHANGED.
CHANGED. >> EXACTLY.
>> EXACTLY. >> FOR US, WE HAVE TO DO WHAT WE
HAVE TO DO ON OUR OWN.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
THESE WERE EXCELLENT FALL BACKS.
I’M NOT JUST SAYING THAT AS A
FAN.
FAN. I WANT TO GIVE TANKS TO WU-TANG
