Wu-Tang Vs. UFC Fighters?

by reign on September 16th, 2008

http://media.defsounds.com/uploads/assets/418/442/10310/asset.jpgNext month on October 11th, hip-hop veterans The Rza and The Gza, of Wu-Tang Clan fame, will be competing in a chess match against 2 UFC Fighters. Rich Franklin and Jeff Monson will be facing off against the rappers in this charity event that will be held at at the historic San Francisco Cow Palace.

The 2nd Annual "Chess Kings Invitational", which is brought to us by The Hip Hop Chess Federation, is an event to promote education through Hip Hop and chess for today's at-risk youth.

Adisa Banjoko, who is the CEO said, "We are enthusiastic and grateful to all the celebrities, kids and educators coming together for the Chess Kings Invitational...This invitational is going to be an incredible event. These are tough times for many of America's youth. Nevertheless the HHCF remains unflinching in our goal to share the countless educational and artistic life options for them in this world. People are flying in from all over the country to participate. We're are grateful for all the rappers, chess masters and martial artists who have donated their time to teaching kids healthy alternatives to violence on the streets."

yea jerz its not like that.. i mean its for a good cause and they have been talking about chess forever.. they were the first dudes to talk about rap like a chess game. i mean liquid swords had a damn chess board in the background lol. for real though, i would really expect gza to win.. his name is genius, ya know..
whatever though, at the end of the day, all im saying is its for a good cause, and i always can fuck with that

FUCK EVERYONE HATIN ON THIS SHIT!!! fuck is yall problem? its not like theres gonna b cameras n play by play commentary. fuck off stop hatin on 2 legends tryna give back. n its like the best lyrical, smart rappers vs the best fighters n they all use strategy in there respective careers. chess is a game of strategy for intellectuals n if yall cant laugh or at least smile that rappers r doin this instead of smokin blunts all day at they house then fuck off. this is a great look for not only rza n gza 2 of my personal favorites but for the hip hop community altogether

they have already participated in this event before, and if Im not mistaken, RZA won the last event.

These two dudes are very very good at Chess, and i feel bad for you ignorant motherfuckers who dont know your ass from a hole in the ground.

When somebody does something beyond your intelligence levels, your guys just come out to hate……

Anybody here actually play Chess? Or better yet, KNOW HOW to play chess?

SMH….Go pick up a book, or go back to school.

chess is only boring if you are ignorant and don’t give a fuck to up your intelligence game. so many things in life can be likened to the game of chess, and people who know how to play are usually people who seek intelligence. once you get into it, you will want to become better because chess is a game to try and beat the mind of your opponent. nothing physical, nothing to prove strength wise, none of this who got more money. NO, it’s a brilliant way to defeat the opponent wholly and completely.
