Ghost been telling that story since like the early 2000s. If you know how much of a wild...and I do mean WILD...boy Ghost was you would believe it 100%.
Ghost told the story on Drink Champs. Except in his story the delfonics were like
you gotta do what you gotta do.

How funny is the dude playing RZA with those messed up RZA side burns, shyt is just pure comedy at this point with those side burns 
I know they won't do the Bret Ratner Ghost story. That story is as wild as anything I've ever heard in my life. that and the ODB Mariah story would've been epic. Didn't think they'd show OH, or even the Delphonics story.

RZA is top 5 DOA producer, a legend, a visionary, and every other accolade you can think of
Yet I feel Rae had a point about wanting to do a movie (with DiCaprio on board to get it done) instead of this
The series in general was underwhelming. We did get some dope shyt (recording Method Man ep, RZA sample process for Protect Ya Neck ep, and the Divine ep this season were the standouts). The rest of the series was whatever, largely due to the compressed timeline and the actors.
The acting outside of dudes that played Divine (best in the series), Power, ODB, and Rae was complete dog shyt
WZA was a HORRIBLE decision by RZA. I still can't believe he handpicked him. Easily the worst actor (a damn shame) with the wack ass robotic voice and inflection.
Dave East...FOH.
Dudes that played Ghost and Deck just couldn't get it together, it was like student actors in their first role and shyt. Yes everyone has to start somewhere but that's why there's theater, indie films, web series, etc.
It feels like it came and went when it could have been so much more. I'm with Rae on this one. A movie would have been better.

And digging up the backyard, being paranoid and all sorts of stuff. Ratner actually told the story years ago...well before Uey's book, but let me see if I can find the link.
Links are gone but...
Wu-Tang Clan “Triumph” (1997)
DIRECTOR’S COMMENTARY: “It was the first million dollar rap video. When Steve Rifkind asked me, I said, ‘Are you sure about this record? There’s no chorus!’ He says “Trust me, its gonna be the biggest record of the year. Only Wu-Tang could pull this off.’ So, I set up the video—Joseph Kahn was my cinematographer. I hear that they want eleven Suburbans—they each want their own. They each also want $50,000 worth of gear, and they told me all their designers. So first day, these guys are walking in one at a time, and each guy walks into the dressing room, and walks out with plastic bags filled with all the clothes. I called Steve like, ‘They’re stealing all the clothes!’ He’s like, ‘Don’t worry, let them have it.’”
“It’s a five day shoot, and it’s crazy. The greatest fukkin’ experience, they’re eating mushrooms the whole time. Ol’ Dirty never shows up. I was like, Oh my god, this is fukking insane! The most fun I ever had. After shooting ends, they all leave to go on tour in Europe, but Ghost never would travel, because he had diabetes. So he checks into a hotel, and they said, ‘Yo Ghost, you watch Brett, and watch over that edit, man. White devil could fukk it up!” So, we’re in the edit room, and we call the group on speakerphone. And it’s the funniest thing, this is embedded in my memory. They’re all on the phone like, ‘White muthafukkin’ devil, man, tryin’ to rob us motherfukker!’ And Ghost is looking at me while on speakerphone, just winking at me like, I love you man! [laughs].”
“So three days into the edit, I get a call that Ghost had had been kicked out of like eleven hotels, and I’m like, ‘Why were you kicked out?’ He’s like, ‘I don’t know man, I got fukked up, and I just start breaking shyt. Can you come get me? I got no place to stay.’ So I let him stay at my house. Suddenly my phone rings, and it’s Steve Rifkind, ‘Whats going on?’ I go, ‘Nothing, I’m just bringing Ghost over my house ’cause he got kicked out of the hotel.’ Then there’s silence on the other end of the phone. I say, ‘Whats wrong?’ He goes, ‘I gotta call you back.’ Five days later, he calls me up and goes, ‘Are you okay? Oh my God, you scared the shyt outta me, man. How can you let this guy stay at your house? I don’t even let these guys know where I live!’ I go, ‘What do you mean? He’s the nicest guy in the world.’ He goes, ‘You don’t know what Ghostface has? He hallucinates, he hears voices like kill your mom, kill your mom. He has to be medicated because he has homicidal thoughts.’ So a month goes by, and I would edit all day, and Ghost would just chill at my house until we finished. A month later, I’m with my girlfriend in the backyard, and the cat starts going fukking crazy and starts digging into the dirt. We dig up a bucket of fried chicken. Ghost buried a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken in the backyard. How fukkin’ freaky is that?”
