Once again the Rap Society was about people telling storys with the clear lyrics of the times: And this group they brought it and it was not just the beat the story was there with understanding of the times:All in Together Now was never signed to a record label. See, me, GZA, and ODB had a crew called FOI: Force of the Imperial Master, nah mean? We made a song, called All in Together Now, which became famous on tapes throughout Brooklyn, Downtown Staten Island, New York, all the way down to Miami. I remember Biz Markie, when he was famous and I wasnt famous, and he was like: Yo! I heard that shit! Your song with Anson Guthrie a Unique and Specialist rapper. I was the Scientist. So we never got signed as a group back then. We never had a serious record deal under that title. —RZA The Wu-Tang Clan was assembled in the early 1990s with RZA as the de facto leader and the groups producer. RZA and Ol Dirty Bastard adopted the name for the group after the film Shaolin and Wu Tang.The groups debut album loosely adopted a Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang theme, dividing the album into Shaolin and Wu-Tang sections. The group developed backronyms for the name (as hip hop pioneers such as KRS-One and Big Daddy Kane did with their names), including We Usually Take All Niggas Garments, Witty Unpredictable Talent And Natural Game, and Wisdom of the Universe, and the Truth of Allah for the Nation of the Gods.
