Wu-Tang take their damn time getting around to things, so why not start a tour in support of last year's slightly slept on 8 Diagrams this November [via Rock & Roll Daily]? As long as some configuration of the Shaolin set is raiding our cities of comic books, kung fu movies, and macrobiotic delicacies, who cares when it goes down?

The specific configuration of the Wu on this tour will be, as usual, a matter of some discussion. Method Man can't help but miss the dates that overlap with his "Still High Tour" with Redman (Really? You guys still smoke weed? Get out of town!) in support of their new album together, Blackout 2, due via Def Jam in December. Then GZA has some dates of his own, though none of them conflict with the Wu tour. Truth is, who knows who will show up on any given "8 Diagrams" tour date, but it wouldn't be Wu-Tang without a little guessing.
