<P> The Wu - Tang Clan was assembled in the early 1990s with RZA as the de facto leader and the group's producer . Method Man--who met RZA in 1990 after hearing a tape the producer recorded as Prince Rakeem--recalled: </P> <P> I went round his house . We went to the basement and I guess they was showin' off' cos I was there . There'd be RZA and his brother Devon on the decks . RZA was cuttin', Devon'd go cut off the light, then RZA's go cut on the light, Devon'd be cutting, then he'd go cut off the light . They was doing some wild shit, man . And Ol' Dirty was there and he'd echo every rhyme of RZA's while beatboxing,' cos that was in style then . That was the beginning of Wu - Tang . </P> <P> RZA and Ol' Dirty Bastard adopted the name for the group after the film Shaolin and Wu Tang . The group's debut album loosely adopted a Shaolin vs. Wu - Tang theme, dividing the album into Shaolin and Wu - Tang sections . </P> <P> The group developed backronyms for the name (as hip hop pioneers such as KRS - One and Big Daddy Kane did with their names), including "We Usually Take All Niggas' Garments", "Witty Unpredictable Talent And Natural Game", and "Wisdom of the Universe, and the Truth of Allah for the Nation of the Gods". </P>
