GZA and his son Karrem Justice eat pizza in New York restaurant

Wu-Tang’s GZA and Son Talk His Music/Eat Pizza in Pitchfork TV’s Daytripping

A single song lifted from GZA’s catalog, let’s say.. “Cold World”.. could supply an album worth of material for many of today’s hip-hop artists. With hook and fluff dominating the airwaves, and Wu Tang’s popular influence diminished years ago, GZA is still in the game and grooming the next generation.

In a hip-hop game interview GZA spoke about that next generation mic controller.. his son, Kareem Justice.

“My son, he was born an MC. He was rhyming before he could even put words together. He loves to watch people battle and analyze and judge it. When somebody drops something he’ll buy it, give it his ear and give me his opinion. There is no rush. I’m not trying to force my son or he would have an album already.”

That was 2005. Three years later, father and son are three years better.

A Pitchfork TV segment called Daytripping featured GZA and Kareem as they hung out in New York City.

Kareem Speaks..

“As I got older and I was understanding his lyrics, I would ask him where he got his ideas from. Why did you say that? Why did you say this? One of my father’s favorite lines .. ‘Reunited, double LP, world excited. Struck a match to the underground, industry ignited from metaphorical parables to fertilize the Earth, wicked niggaz come try to burglarize my turf.’”

If nothing else, watch it for the scene in the pizza spot. Guaranteed to have you fiendin’ for a pepperoni & extra cheese slice.
