Originally drawn by Wu-Tang\u2019s DJ\/producer and former graffiti writer Mathematics, the split yellow and black W is\u00a0inextricably linked to the legendary Hip Hop collective.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday (January 6), Mathematics announced his new NFT collection dubbed\u00a0\u201cThe Man Behind The W.\u201d In a promo video for the collection, Mathematics pokes fun at his position in group as its least recognized member.

I always felt like as long as my brothers are good, I\u2019m good. I\u2019m with my brothers. That was the brotherhood mentality that we all had with each other. Time passes on, and we\u2019re lucky to have the longevity. You get older, you raise your kids, send them to school and pay your bills, while doing what started out for me as a hobby. You look at things different.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow it becomes certain points where yeah, you have to step out. Some people didn\u2019t know I created the W or produced certain beats. Even in the earlier days, we might go to the mall and do some shopping. For me, this is one of the places I did get the idea for the promo video from. I didn\u2019t like going to the mall with Meth, just because of the attraction he pulls. He\u2019s a great dude and his energy \u2026 he respects the fans and talks with the fans. He interacts. It\u2019s a beautiful thing. But like me, I might have to get to soundcheck or something, and I\u2019m like, \u2018Alright. I gotta go.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bt9NmJ6AX1L\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

As they were just getting off the ground, RZA asked Mathematics to come up with a logo for the group \u2014 and he remembers exactly where he was when he drew it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m from Southside Queens,\u201d he says. \u201cI was at the 40 Projects, apartment 5A on the fifth floor, right on the corner of 159th Street. I originally started off DJing for GZA when he was on Cold Chillin\u2019. When that went sour, that\u2019s actually the first time I actually really did production. I just didn\u2019t know it was production.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember GZA was talking about getting another deal. It didn\u2019t go too good. I ended up going to work for my father. My father was a carpenter by trade, so he brought me in and I was doing carpentry. Then RZA, GZA and Ol\u2019 Dirty Bastard, they was already talking about forming the Wu-Tang thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With GZA no longer on the Cold Chillin\u2019 label, Mathematics juggling carpentry, graffiti and DJing and RZA already producing, the blueprint was there. One day, RZA called Mathematics and said, \u201cYo, I need these joints.\u201d Of course, Mathematics was down and popped over to the local bodega before he got started.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got me a 40 ounce,\u201d he recalls. \u201cI got me a nice little sack and a Philly Blunt. I was smoking Philly Blunts at the time. I rolled one, took a few pulls, a couple of sips, broke out the black book and drew it on the hard floor. When you do graffiti, you have different type of letterings. That was similar to one of my letterings of my W.\u00a0Then it was influenced too \u2026 it has a Kung Fu edge to it and it leads into the karate flicks.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CBitr4Dj-9E\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Nearly 30 years after the release of <em>Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers,\u00a0<\/em>the Wu-Tang Clan is still going strong. Mathematics launched the first installment of his NFT collection last week called \u201cNo Pork On My Fork,\u201d which was recently featured on Season 2 of the highly popular Hulu <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a>, <em>Wu Tang: An American Saga.\u00a0<\/em>As the title suggests, Mathematics has been vegetarian since 1997 and has since graduated to veganism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI stopped eating pork in 1984, so it\u2019s like \u2018No Pork on My Fork\u2019 basically,\u201d he explains. \u201cThat\u2019s mentally as well as physically, because it\u2019s like physically, it damages the body. That\u2019s not the best thing to eat. Mentally, it\u2019s like, listen to the things that we call the pig. We call them slobs, we call them dirty. They live in mud, filthy. We call them swine. I was always taught we don\u2019t want no type of swine. So somebody\u2019s \u2018swining\u2019 you was not good.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd they say pigs are intelligent animals and they are, but so is a swine, snake-ass mutherfucka, too. They\u2019re smart. They\u2019re cunning, so I say, \u2018No pork on my fork\u2019 \u2014 that\u2019s period. That\u2019s mentally as well as physically.

So before I move forward, it\u2019s like, none of that is in here. Everything in here is going to be righteous. So, basically, that\u2019s what I\u2019m saying about this collection that\u2019s coming \u2014 there\u2019s no swine here.
