UPDATE: Wu-Tang Partners With White Castle & Impossible Burger on Vegan Slider
“I stopped eating pork in the 70s and then beef in ‘89-’90 when I heard a record called “Beef” from KRS-One. It explained a lot of things about animals in cages being distressed and eating meat from animals under the same distress,” the “Liquid Swords” emcee proclaimed. “ [Next] I stopped eating fish, chicken, and turkey in ‘96-’97, so it was a gradual process. I [also stopped drinking] milk and [eating] sugar. I was eating tofu [veggie burgers and veggie bacon] so I thought I was eating healthy foods, but when I started learning about [all of the] additives and preservatives required for shelf life, I realized I was still eating things that weren’t healthy. [So] I focused on eating plant-based foods without all the additives.”
Last week, White Castle announced that its Impossible Burger slider will be available at all 377 locations nationwide. And the full roll-out of the Wu-Tang promotion happens on October 1.

In this installment, Ghost and Gza answer more burning questions before returning to Earth. Check it out below. And for more Wu-Tang knowledge, see GZA’s appearance on Pitchfork’s Over/Under, which also dropped this week.

Watch ‘TUANY’ Skate Video Featuring Sebastien Cao and Theo Meas
Watch Sebastien Cao and Theo Meas as they shred in the streets of South America.
The video was filmed during three months of backpacking from Mexico to Costa Rica, crossing Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua.
Making it even more impressive (and a reason needs to come calling), “TUANY” was entirely filmed, edited, and animated using an iPhone with Theo and Sebastien doing the editing themselves (and some of the filming too).
