Wu-Tang Clan delivered a thunderous 35-song performance at State Farm Arena in Atlanta on Wednesday night as part of Wu-Tang Forever: The Final Chamber, the hip-hop pioneers’ farewell tour.
Run the Jewels opened the show, led by Atlanta hometown hero Killer Mike and longtime collaborator El-P. From the bombastic “Legend Has It” to the politically charged “JU$T”, the duo set the tone with a mix of ferocity and finesse, warming the crowd for Wu-Tang’s multigenerational celebration.
Wu‑Tang Clan wasted no time after hitting the stage, opening with the primal rallying cry of “Bring da Ruckus” and ricocheting through early‑’90s favorites like “Wu‑Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthing ta F’ Wit” and “Protect Ya Neck”. Vocalist Blue Raspberry joined in on Gladys Knight & the Pips‘ “The Way We Were” and reprised her hooks on “Can It Be All So Simple” and “Rainy Dayz”. Special guest Redman also spit verses on “Da Rockwilder”, “Da Goodness”, and “How High” before Blue Raspberry returned for Method Man‘s “All I Need”.
Young Dirty Bastard, son of Ol’ Dirty Bastard, embodied his late father’s irrepressible energy on “Shimmy Shimmy Ya” and “Got Your Money”, and after a reverent “C.R.E.A.M.” singalong, the collective appropriately crowned the hip-hop marathon with “Triumph”.
