For those that don't know...The executives of the Wu-Tang Corporation was RZA, his older brother Divine (Mitchell Diggs), Power (Oli Grant), and Ghost. Those are the executive producers of every Wu-Tang album, and basically were still hustling to fund the brand in the early days. In the real timeline, it's said that Power, Ghost & Divine put up the money for RZA's lawyer for that case.

Power is also the older brother of Killa Sin of Killarmy, and was Rae's "business" partner. And he started Wu-Wear. He was in Belly, and did the movie Black & White with Ben Stiller, Brooke Shields, Elijah Wood, Mike Tyson, Allan Houston a bunch of other mofos. He was a producer on that too. Hell, Power & Divine have probably made as much off the W as RZA has. Mook, the bus driver that Power was talkin to, is their first manager, and the CEO of Wu-Tang Management.

You can find way more interviews of Power than you can of Divine.

so power and ghost wasn’t beefing like that? Since they was putting bread together in the early stages? Crazy about that bus driver. Didn’t know much about him. Love how ya wu fans or those in the “in” with them share these stories to match the show. This show is straight crack. I thought Rae and ghost really shot at each other?

This is pretty much the story of th top of the Wu-Hierarchy, which is why they are showing more of RZA, Divine, Ghost & Power...(Rae & Power's Wu story is intertwined), as opposed to seeing more of fan favorites Meth or Dirty.

Yes, they were beefin. Power & Rae were hustlin partners. Them and their crew were beefin with Ghost and his crew. While Rae may not have personally taken a shot a Ghost's crib, it was his crew that did it. Ghost's crew was allegedly wild and crazy...while the Power/Rae crew was wild, but moreso focused on just gettin the money. The details aren't known to those outside of their circle, and they rarely speak on it at all. All I've heard through interviews were Ghost & Rae were a part of rivals crews in which some things happened. I do know one of his homies just came home a couple of months ago.

By the time the show is portraying, they're pretty much moving as a unit...even if it isn't the most stable. They vibed over RZA's house, watchin Kung Fu flicks and listening to music, and makin demos...but Brooklyn Zu & Sunz were also there just in case anything popped off. The timeline is compressed, but the way they tell it, it wasn't "y'all peace it out, so we can record" it was more they were naturally vibing from both hanging around RZA for some time. They've always explained it that Power was already in to at least help get RZA out.

The Ohio stuff is that they were "allegedly" also running guns for some people, from NY to Steubenville.

I feel like the actor that plays RZA needs to be more live and eccentric. Son too robotic. I thought young RZA was wilding in the streets but also that he had a vision outside of that street shyt. Also isn’t RZA over 6ft tall.

I was going to let it go till he started with the voice. Now me and my brother, who is also a huge Wu Fan, use that voice to clown around.

I ignore his voice.. LOL....
a speech impediment is IMPOSSIBLE to mimic. RZA stutters.. I stutter, my mom, my son.. it's hereditary somehow.. but you cant mimic it.. hell we dont know when we do it..

With that said, I am in to the story enough where i can zone him out

Need more insight into RZA crafting these amazing beats/interludes with the Kung-fu samples. Def need him to really show why/how that was crafted because that is so instrumental into what made Wu-Tang Clan such a cultural phenomenon :ufdup:
