Wu-Tang Clan Honors Fallen Hip Hop Legends

Beyond the excitement of Lauryn Hill’s surprise appearance, Wu-Tang Clan made sure to take a moment during their Philadelphia set to pay heartfelt tribute to some of hip hop’s most beloved artists who are no longer with us. The group took time to honor DMX, Phife Dawg (A Tribe Called Quest), Prodigy (Mobb Deep), and Nate Dogg — all of whom left an undeniable mark on the culture.

This acknowledgment resonated deeply with the audience, reminding everyone of the importance of legacy and remembrance within hip hop culture. Wu-Tang Clan has always embodied the spirit of unity and respect for those who paved the way, and last night was another example of how they continue to uphold those traditions while celebrating the genre’s ongoing evolution.

The Legacy Continues: Wu-Tang, Lauryn Hill, & The Unbreakable Thread of Hip Hop Culture

Wu-Tang Clan and Lauryn Hill’s connection stretches beyond mere collaboration — both are pillars of 1990s hip hop culture, rooted in lyricism, authenticity, and Black excellence. Seeing them share a moment on stage in 2025 is a reminder of the staying power of their respective legacies.

With artists like DMX, Phife Dawg, Prodigy, and Nate Dogg memorialized during the show, the event served as both a celebration and a reflection on how far the culture has come — and how those who are still here continue to carry the torch forward.
