My Favorite rap group growing up was Wutang.  And my Favorite wutang members were ODB, RZA, and the Genius.  Who coincidentally were cousins.  The Rza made the beats, and had a razor sharp lyrical style.  The Genius style was more pensive, with beats to match the lyrical depth.  And then, there was ODB, who moved with a style that was not seen before.    Wutang  albums sample from old kung fu films.  And one of the most riveting samples is the intro track on Liquid Swords.  This song features samples from the Movie Shogun assassins.  Thus the name and the photos.  

The movie Shoguns Assassin is a story about a loyal ninja, Ogami, who was involved with something evil.  His role was the top Henchman for the Evil Shogun who thrives on unnecessary brutality and intimidation.   And when he chooses to walk away, the omnipotent King, or Shogun decides to kill him.  Its a great movie, full of symbolism that is relevant to society.
