<DIV>The RZA, founder of the Wu-Tang Clan, imparts the lessons he's learned on his journey from the Staten Island projects to international superstardom. A devout student of knowledge in every form in which he's found it, he distills here the wisdom he's acquired into seven "pillars," each based on a formative event in his life-from the moment he first heard the call of hip-hop to the death of his cousin and Clan- mate, Russell Jones, aka ODB. Delivered in RZA's unmistakable style, at once surprising, profound, and provocative, <I>The Tao of Wu</I> is a spiritual memoir the world has never seen before, and will never see again. A nonfiction <I>Siddhartha</I> for the hip-hop generation, it will enlighten, entertain, and inspire.<BR><BR></DIV>
