...hint at this dilemma when they ask nostalgically, “Can It Be All So Simple”, eventually breaking down “fly clichés” and easy street/smart dichotomies in favor of an epic, all-American mythos that draws on everything from pulp comic books and cheap kung-fu movies. Any static visual display of artifacts and commentary will be hard-pressed to uncover the symbolic web of even one Wu-Tang album, let alone the genre as a whole.
