Wu Tang An American Saga Episode 8 Recap

Wu-Tang: An American Saga Season 3 Episode 8 marks the third allegorical movie of the season. It aired on March 22, 2023, on Hulu.

The episode follows GZA, who attains the persona of The Genius as he goes through an alternate reality of NYC to unify people using the music from his debut solo album titled Liquid Swords.

And GZA did exactly what he needed to do to bring people together to make that music. He was like on a mission and cared about no other artists though Divine was trying to get other people to be on the album.

But GZA said he needs his brothers in the album and that way the music could sound more organic.

He made it clear he need no other groups or artists on the album besides the Wu-Tang members.

As you watch the episode, you will see him doing the same. Considering the last week’s episode, Divine was supposed to get the album out there to him.

But GZA wanted to wait for that perfect opportunity to do it. He used music to get what he wanted to go against his enemies, as we see throughout the series, and to save his people from violence.

And yes, he was right that the music industry was definitely changing and was watering down the product.

Talking more, viewers finally get to see Method Man, portrayed by David “Dave East” Brewster, in this episode. Viewers have hardly seen him this season and hope to see him in the upcoming episodes.

Season 3 is the final season of the series and has 10 episodes. Episode 9 (titled -After the Smoke is Clear) will air on March 29 and the final episode will air on April 5, 2023.
