our friends at day and a dream got recently got the opportunity to interview bobby digital at his october 16th stop in our great city. they had plenty of discussion about his new cinematic endeavors, as well as a love of pam grier, tarantino and of course, the wu. check out the excerpt below and the whole article at their site.
D&D: You talk about telling a story and how you’re used to coming from the music realm and you’re used to getting your point across in four, five minutes. How was the transition between making films and making songs? Like how difficult was that?
RZA: It’s more difficult to expand on thoughts. Because the songs are abstract. You can say something in four lines and the listener can figure it out. Like Paul Simon’s “50 Ways To Leave Your Lover”, “The problem is all inside your head/She said to me/The answer is easy if you/Take it logically/I’d like to help you in your struggle/To be free/There must be fifty ways/To leave your lover” And the relationship is over. A screenplay is visual, it’s not about the words sometimes. Something from thirty seconds to three minutes will just hold you there.
