Exactly. Rae doesn’t have the best ear for beats. I guess he relied on RZA’s guidance and felt short change when he went Bobby Digital

@Barney Rubble so raekwon is a hater and U-God is grumpy, I would love to see them in a room and talk about things lol. He say anything about GZA in the book.

@ The Polar extremes of these 2 posts
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.
Hope he does an audiobook of this. I highly recommend Prodigy’s autobio in audiobook form. It brings an extra element to hear them tell the story.
He has one but Rae's not the narrator. He does talk to his son between chapters, though.

lex diamonds had a few pete rock records that were cut
sometimes i just dont understand. how sway?

none of that really sounds likeor overly exaggerated, so I can believe it
I can definitely see it all being the case, especially the shyt about affiliates.
Yeah... The documentary kinda opened my eyes to how RZA and Divine were foul as fukk.

How would you feel if people you didn't even know was claiming your group name?One point just confirmed who I thought Ghost was talking about in that unreleased Wu documentary from GZA.
Ghost: Them non-descript nikkas...they never made nothing!
Man...not even gonna lie, I'd be tight if I was in one of them groups. Main nikkas dropping dud after dud after Forever but affiliates kept that flag standing with quality albums
RZA was wrong for that shyt, he should have let the others have a say in it. After awhile it became too many members to the point it didn't make sense and it did water down the group. For people like Killah and Sunz Of Man fine but Wu Latino?
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.
No he did not, let's be honest. RZA's beats fell way off overtime, I mean you heard that better tomorrow shyt he made.
Also let's not get started on the Once Upon A Time In Shaolin Fiasco. RZA always does some bullshyt and doesn't get the group to sign off on it which is fukked up.

@Barney Rubble breh you're serious? Ghost and Rae don't really hang out like that?
You could have fooled me. I can't even believe that.

Yeah, breh, that's how Rae made it sound
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.
