Wu-Tang Clan Mural — Attraction in New York

You gonna get the full Staten Island experience 🤣🤣🤣 it was SO HOOD AND RAN DOWN LAWD!! A Thursday morning at 930 am in early February (black history month at that) and there were drug dealers and all types of dudes just standing around in front of the mural. I turned the block to come around and they had all disappeared. Maybe they thought I was police.

I DO NOT recommend going to this alone or at night or by bus. Luckily I drove my own vehicle and I can carry protection legally. I tried to QUICKLY take as many pictures as I could, and then dudes started coming back to their posts, making comments and giving me dirty looks. Asking me what I was looking for🙄😒 like they couldn't see what I was there for.

It's super hard to access due to the location, local population and cars parked in the way and almost impossible to get one good shot of the mural. It finally became too unsafe for me to stay as more men kept showing up and making comments. I drove from Brooklyn and was hoping to take lots of professional photos, videos, and really analyze the details and artistry etc like I do all around the city, but I could not stay there beyond 5 minutes. Definitely don't bring the family! Sheesh it was ROUGH!!!!

Hurt my heart to give this 4 stars, cause Wu-Tang are like the Beatles to me. I understand why their music was so gritty and grimey now. I did take a trip over to Stapleton & Park Hill as well. Same vibes. No one should have to live like that. I pray black people can get out of the hood and into good communities and homes. No child should live in that environment.

Peace to the God's and...

Go see it!! It's a MASTERPIECE!!! We're from Seattle! We took the ferry from the city (Manhattan), then a quick train ride and a short walk to the mural. Our trip felt complete after seeing this mural. It was number 1 on my list, and I'm so thrilled we got to see it. It's truly phenomenal! I highly recommend planning a trip to Staten Island to see it if you're a big fan like myself....

Fresque magnifique, venant de France pour une semaine a New York, les 2 fresques du wu tang a staten island sont magnifiques, suis allé au wu tang district par la même occasion gros regret par contre sur le fait qu'il ''y ait pas de boutique du Wu pour choper des goodies.c'est ce qui m'a étonné d'ailleurs, pas de boutiques pour trouver des trucs du Wu a staten island, pas de boutique a Brooklyn non plus quand je suis allé voir les fresques de Biggie et ODB, pareil pour l'appart de friends a Manhattan etc....en vrai les ricains ont tout a apprendre niveau biz' Y suis allé avec mes enfants en matinée et franchement c'était le désert pour cette fresque, Grand moment unique où de flics en bagnole garé non loin m'ont fait le signe du wu quand ils ont vu ma veste du Wu...magique.......en Plus d'une fois en sortie de métro ou une policière très sympathique m'a vu en me disant "Wu is forever" J'imagine la même en France avec mon sweat de NTM ou...
