Wu-Tang Clan "guru" Popa Wu dies

Longtime Wu-Tang Clan affiliate and spiritual mentor to the group, Popa Wu has died aged 63. Popa Wu was the older cousin of Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA and also related to GZA and Ol’ Dirty Bastard. He played a crucial role in the group’s formation and would go on to serve as a spiritual advisor of sorts, preaching the philosophy of the Five Percent Nation on songs by the Wu-Tang Clan and its members, as Rolling Stone reports.
