The tour will bring members RZA, GZA, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Method Man, Inspectah Deck, U-God, and Masta Killa to the world stage one last time. As RZA put it in an interview with the Times, 'we may come to your city, you'll see all of us together and that may be the last time you see us all together in the physical. You might watch us on TV, but we're not coming to your city again. We want you to come break bread with us.'

Sacha Jenkins, Filmmaker Who Mined the Black Experience, Dies at 53
Sacha Jenkins, a fiery journalist and documentary filmmaker who strove to tell the story of Black American culture from within, whether in incisive prose explorations of rap and graffiti art or in screen meditations on Louis Armstrong, the Wu-Tang Clan or Rick James, died on May 23 at his home in the Inwood section of Manhattan. He was 53. The death was confirmed by his wife, the journalist and filmmaker Raquel Cepeda-Jenkins, who said the cause was complications of multiple system atrophy, a neurodegenerative disorder. Whatever the medium — zines, documentaries, satirical television shows — Mr. Jenkins was unflinching on the topic of race as he sought to reflect the depths and nuances of the Black experience as only Black Americans understood it. He was 'an embodiment of 'for us, by us,'' the journalist Stereo Williams wrote in a recent appreciation on Okayplayer, a music and culture site. 'He was one of hip-hop's greatest journalistic voices because he didn't just write about the art: He lived it.' And he lived it from early on. Mr. Jenkins, raised primarily in the Astoria section of Queens, was a graffiti artist as a youth, and sought to bring an insider's perspective to the culture surrounding it with his zine Graphic Scenes X-Plicit Language, which he started at 16. He later co-founded Beat-Down newspaper, which covered hip-hop; and the feisty and irreverent magazine Ego Trip, which billed itself as 'the arrogant voice of musical truth.' Want all of The Times?

Wu-Tang Clan Bringing Time Capsule on Tour & Dave Chappelle Already Added His Own Wu Memorabilia
Wu-Tang really is forever. The legendary Staten Island crew is set to embark on their final tour this summer, and the Wu-Tang Clan will be bringing a time capsule on the road. One lucky fan at each tour stop will be able to donate one rare piece of Wu memorabilia to the Wu-Tang Forever Time Capsule. Fans will be able to check out the epic collection of Wu artifacts at the Shaolin Temple VIP Experience, which will turn a lifetime of memories into a timeless treasure. More from Billboard Wu-Tang Clan's RZA Gets His Own Bobby Digital Action Figure Reneé Rapp Says Her Name Was Designed for Pop Stardom John Butler Returns With New Solo Album 'PRISM' 'From the basements of Staten Island, we created something timeless,' RZA said in a statement. 'And now we invite you to be part of that inspiration. In every city, we will be putting something new inside this time capsule.' The Wu-Tang frontman continued: 'Something from your city to connect with all the Wu cities and Wu fans around the world. This Wu-Tang Forever Time Capsule will only be seen in the Shaolin Temple VIP. We invite you to be part of this legacy.' Dave Chappelle had the honor of being the first to donate to the time capsule, and he gave a signed vinyl from the group. The Wu-Tang Clan surprised a recent Chappelle Soundcheck Series show with a performance at the comic's YS Firehouse in Yellow Springs, Ohio, last Friday (May 23). 'Thanks to the Wu for showing Ohio love,' Chappelle said. 'They brought the time capsule with them. Each city has a chance to put something in it in the Shaolin Temple VIP experience. I repped for YS.' The 27-date Wu-Tang Forever: The Final Chapter Tour is set to kick off on June 6 in Baltimore and will make stops in Tampa Bay, Houston, Phoenix, San Francisco, Sacramento, Portland, Chicago, Detroit, Boston, New York City and Toronto, and will wrap up in Philadelphia on July 18.
