That's not true cause in this most recent one he said Rza and Power stole from them on the Wu Wear deal. Maybe in the interview you are speaking on he didn't wanna slander the brother but I believe he did take money from the members and robbed them.

You do not read very well. An illiterate type a$$hole. It's been established in here that Rae said Power stole from him with the IceWater deal but then Rae also has said several times, including in the Vlad interview, that Power nor RZA ever stole from him. He's being inconsistent. Which one is it, Rae? :hula:

Inconsistencies in a person's story makes people not believe them.

Yeah, breh, that's how Rae made it sound :mjcry: They were real close in the beginning and became best friends but over the years it sounded like Ghost had a lot of personal problems. Plus, he had his own career, so each time they'd see each other a lot of time had passed. Rae wanted Ghost there for Cuban Linx 2 like he was on part 1, but ghost only showed up to the studio for his verses. Rae wasn't mad and understood, but I'm sure that album would have been even better if the wrote it together like the first one.

Damn that's crazy but that's life. People got their own responsibilities and eventually people grow apart.

He mostly just praised GZA's pen, and admired his knowledge of the Five-Percent Nation. Made it sound like GZA did his own thing in Brooklyn. He also mentioned GZA in the rappers on Shaolin Vs Wu-Tang as the ones that don't agree with RZA.
yeah. And stated when they were on tour, Gza made the best vegan sandwiches. Also, Gza and masta Killa had a close relationship.

Even with that, Ghost still murdered every verse.

True, but Rae loved having Ghost on almost every joint on Cuban Linx and said there can't be a part 2 without Ghost. Plus, they spent months together writing the first one and just having a good time enjoying life. Ghost would read all Rae's rhymes and gave Rae confidence. Rae would throw shyt out and Ghost would grab it and have Rae look at it again later.

That’s why they mad, artistically he abandoned them


So did they.


For all of this “RZA did X,Y,Z to fukk us over” talk people forget that RZA let everybody OUT of their Wu-Tang management deals. Divine has said himself he wasn’t about to let nobody go but RZA told him he had to. He let everybody go except ODB and even relented to him in the end.
