The Wu-Tang Clan is a pioneering hip hop group, originally from Staten Island, New York, USA (Staten Island is referred to as "Shaolin" in their lyrics).

The crew is composed of nine MCs (now reduced to eight with the death of Ol' Dirty Bastard in 2004). All of the nine members have released solo albums, and the group has spawned many affiliate groups. This was the plan from the group's inception: Wu-Tang was designed to become an empire, to take over the hip hop community through saturation of like minded artists.
