It was a night of torch-passing and time-travel at the Moody Center as \u041a\u043b\u0430\u043d \u0412\u0443-\u0422\u0430\u043d<\/a> brought their \u201cFinal Chamber\u201d farewell tour to Austin, with Run the Jewels setting the stage for a show that felt like both a celebration and a send-off.<\/p>\n\n\n

Run The Jewels<\/h2>\n\n\n

Run the Jewels hit first with the energy of a group still in their prime. Killer Mike and El-P bounded across the stage like kids let loose in a cipher, trading sharp, surgical verses and big grins over fan-favorite cuts from across their catalog. Songs like “Legend has it,”\u201cooh la la,\u201d \u201cLie, Cheat, Steal,\u201d and \u201cClose Your Eyes (And Count to F***),\u201d drew massive sing-alongs, got the crowd hyped, and proved why RTJ has become the go-to standard-bearers for smart, confrontational \u0445\u0438\u043f-\u0445\u043e\u043f<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t even get me started on their overall stage chemistry; other bands will want to study these two for years. This concert may be a send-off to the legendary Wu-Tang clan, but it’s also pretty clear RTJ is still just getting started. Towards the end of their 40-minute setlist, the duo rounded out with \u201ca few words for the firing squad (radiation)\u201d\u2014a powerful moment dedicated by El\u2011P to his late father. Fitting for Father’s Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wu-Tang<\/h2>\n\n\n

Then came Wu-Tang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In what may be their final full-crew tour, the Clan made their presence known with a relentless, four-act journey through their legacy. The entire two-hour show was broken into Acts, telling a lifelong journey for our artists. Throughout the entire arena, and the whole night, hands were up in the form of W\u2019s to greet one of the greatest rap groups of all time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Act I saw the group reassemble track by track from Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)<\/em> \u2013 RZA leading off with \u201cBring Da Ruckus,\u201d followed by Ghostface, Raekwon, GZA, Deck, and so on, until the roar of the crowd reached full tilt with Method Man\u2019s explosive entrance. It was a masterclass in nostalgia and performance, each MC falling right back into step like they never left. I\u2019ve seen Method Man perform about four times now, and he\u2019s one artist who never fails to bring unmatched energy\u2014his presence alone has the power to electrify an entire crowd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Act II brought the solo cuts: Raekwon\u2019s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx\u2026<\/em>, Meth\u2019s Tical<\/em>, Inspectah Deck\u2019s nod to Gang Starr. Even in solo mode, the energy stayed collective \u2014 a reminder that Wu-Tang\u2019s strength has always been in its parts as much as its whole. Tracks featured in Act II included “Bring the Pain”, “Ice Cream”, and “Can It All Be So Simple”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Act III dove deeper into the catalog, featuring a deadly combo of GZA\u2019s Liquid Swords<\/em> tracks, including \u201c4th Chamber,\u201d Masta Killa\u2019s \u201cNo Said Date,\u201d and fan-favorite deep cuts that kept the energy simmering. The placement of each song throughout the set was no accident\u2014each act gave space for individual members to shine, like chapters in a living anthology. If you were to throw every member\u2019s greatest hits into one massive setlist, the Clan could\u2019ve easily played another two hours\u2014and no one would\u2019ve budged from their seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Act IV brought deeper cuts and long-time favorites \u2014 with a crowd-erupting version of \u201cShimmy Shimmy Ya\u201d with Young Dirty Bastard channeling his father, ODB, with uncanny swagger. \u201cC.R.E.A.M.\u201d and \u201cTriumph\u201d closed out the set, the latter introduced by RZA with a note of gratitude and finality. \u201cAll good things come to an end,\u201d he said. \u201cBut hip-hop lives on. Wu-Tang lives on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between sets, fans caught teasers for future solo projects: a RZA-directed film, a new Wu Tang video game, and a Cuban Linx documentary. If this really is the final time all nine surviving members will share a stage, they made sure to leave no doubt that the Wu brand \u2013 the legacy \u2013 will continue in every medium possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


I\u2019m hoping it\u2019s not true\u2014but if this truly is the last time we see the Wu-Tang as a whole on stage like this together, I\u2019m honored I got to witness it. Frankly, it was one of the best performances the Moody Center has seen in a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
