Oct 15, 2016 http://www.vice.com/read/a-close-look-at-the-fbis-file-on-wu-tang-clan-foia-v23n07 For decades, the FBI has been investigating the connections between hip hop/rock group and the violence that is often associated with the two genres. They felt as though hip hop/rock groups had more of an impact on crime than solo artists did. Some of the groups that the FBI claims to have had case files on are N.W.A, Slaughterhouse, Army of the Pharaohs, Blink-182, and Radiohead. The one group that stood out however was the Wu Tang Clan. "Between 1999 and ODB's death in 2004, the FBI worked alongside the New York Police Department to investigate Wu-Tang Clan for a wide range of alleged federal crimes. They never filed any charges, but the FBI devoted substantial resources to the inquiry in an effort to take the Wu down. In 2012, in response to FOIA requests, the FBI released a 95-page file on ODB and "WTC," which is how the agency referred to the group. The inflammatory allegations leveled in the file (d--- dealing, g--- ties, murder) have been written about in the past, but little attention has been given to the scope of the FBI's investigation and how it began." They ended up not finding any significant in their searchs. And as the concluding paragraph put it: "And with that, RZA, Raekwon, and Wu-Tang Clan were cleared. The lesson here for the FBI, NYPD, Christian, and his attorney? Wu-Tang Clan ain't nothing ta f--- wit."
Oct 15, 2016 If this was posted to RG it would've blew up lol. Interesting read, I was surprised Slaughterhouse was mentioned, I know you're a Royce fan, what do you think about that?
Oct 15, 2016 The whole file has been online for a while i think basically the Wu Tang core group were using the killa beez as traffickers and to commit robberies etc they basically signed ppl to killa beez for doing hits, robbing rappers etc thats why they have a racketeering charges in there
Oct 15, 2016 This s--- been released since like 2012 and prior to that the fact they had been under the FBI's scope for running guns had been on Wikipedia for a good couple of years
