| Real name: Elgin Turner Others: High Chief , Noodles, Jamal Arief Albums: None to date (Fall 2000) Record Label: Wu-Tang Records Offical Site: www.mastakilla.com Masta Killa is the most quiet and obseverative member in the clan. He doesn't do interviews, rarely speaks during Clan appearances, and just isn't very talkative or noticeable. When he's around some one new, one he has never met before, he doesn't speak- but he observes the person over and over. That is why the name of "Masta" fits him best. Of course the other part of his name, "Killa," suites him well... well because just listen to his rhymes. Very little is known about Masta Killa, and I get the feeling he isn't the one to have many friends, this is backed by the fact he doesn't seem like a very friendly person. But no matter what, he will always have the clan behind him. He became an official member of the clan in 1995-96, which was when people got to know him. He didn't appear that much on the first Wu album (like Cappadonna and U-God) because he was not available at the time they recorded it (however, he did have one verse on the album, read on--->). He did, appear on the song, "Da Mystery Of The Chessboxin," and showed true Wu-Tang Skill in it. He also proved the true work of a masta, such of himself. After that he contiuned to show his true work as a Masta. He was on Return To The 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version, Liquid Swordz, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx & Ironman. Then he was featured on Wu-Tang Forever, which was the first time people really got to see and hear him (and this time stood out the most because this was an album with the whole clan). He has also appeared on almost every single wu-related album since then (most of the work has been done inside with the actual Wu-Tang Clan, rather than other Fam. members); which means he still is in the Wu, even though he was no solo work released yet. He does have a track he did with Method Man called "Secret Rivials." He's not the kind of guy to turn down an offer of doing work with any of his fellow members on their solo albums. His style of rapping goes so well with the Wu-Tang. No other member in the Wu-Tang or anyone else in the hip-hop industry raps the same as he does, and at the same time no one can describe him--not even some of this best clansmen. The best possible way to get-to-know him is by listing to his rhymes. He raps slow, so he can get his point across, and let people hear what he has to say. Some people hate the way he raps and comes across with his lyrics. But I say, "What the F**k you think?!? He's a killa, a Masta Killa." He holds some of the "tightest" lyrics in the clan, some songs to look for him in: "Assaination Day," "Excute Them," "Wu Banga 101," and "Glaciers of Ice," just to name a few, but he holds the ture keys in these songs. Masta Killa is self-taught, and usually doesn't listen to what other people have to say. Bottom line is he doesn't care to what other people have to say. But this slow - wise man is very intellectual and is one of the best chess players in the Wu. I think his capability matchs no other emcee that I know of. Other than doing a lot of work with Wu-Tang and Wu-Family, I hear he is supposed to come out during the mid to late 2000 (Fall time) with his first solo album titled Bloody Swords or The Masta Piece. I'm pretty hopefull and certain this album will drop in the year 2'G'. Hopefully it will come out soon, because he is the last Wu-Tang member (out of the 10) to drop a solo album. On the updated track listing of his album , it features many apperaces by fellow members of the Wu, and will probably be more orignal, and should return all of us back to the '36. Hopefully this debut will make many people happy, ones such as myself. |
