Has anyone googled "wu tang is for the children" yet?
imma let you finish but......Everyone knows henrik is wu tang obsessed, so it's no surprise that the quote was a legit reference. At the 1998 grammys old dirty bastard jumped on stage to cut off the winners for song of the year's acceptance speech to say that wu tang's nominated song should have won. in his quick rant ODB said wu tang's songs " [are] for the children"... which i'd assume was more or less a 'we didn't win but our work is for future generations' kind of statement. (idk the ins and outs of wu so correct I'm if I'm way off on what he meant)
I wonder if dollo planed to say this if his score wasn't good enough medal, which is damn similar to wu tangs situation here. Beyond being a super specific wu tang reference, if it went along with ODB's message, i wonder what other parallels from himself/being at the olympics to the grammy rant dollo might have implied??
spark notes: wu tang had a kanye-like acceptance speech cut-off rant where they said " 'Cause I figured that Wu-Tang was gonna win. I don't know how you all see it, but when it comes to the children, Wu-Tang is for the children. We teach the children. You know what I mean?"
