It's basically the ghost / Rae entry ... it was dramatized for TV
it's not about white validation it's about building careers and getting more opportunities and projects green lit
this is the same mentality that stunts rap careers. you can't just do shyt for the heads. you say this ironically while the show is at a point where it is showing how they needed major radio and major distribution. nikkaz watching is not all that matters. if the show is not a bigger success then more like it don't see the light.
keeping it real don't pay bills. it's cliche and tired. commerce really factors in life. these dudes are not on screen to win props they'd be served better with real recognition and better opportunities that come with those awards plus a raise in your earnings.
this is like you turning down raises and bonuses at work which is what comes with the wins. you wouldn't do that.

The show just needs enough viewers. Being on a financially successful show will get all involved more opportunities. Winning a subjective award like an Emmy helps but isn't necessary.
Yo, it just dawned on me they replaced Inspectah Deck. Wasnt season one he was played by Joey Badass?
Rza actor haters bout to be mad for anyone who aint realize that either
Because of scheduling issues due to the pandemic, Joey couldn't be in season 2
Realistically at the rate their going you can could easily get three more seasons out of this if you include the first Wu-Tang Tour (the tour fukkery could be an entire season in itself if written properly) and the solo albums era. Remember Method Man reached a whole different stratosphere of stardom with movies and his partnership with Redman. You could explore that and how it impacted other members of the group like Inspectah Deck and UGod. UGod was Meth’s best friend and Inspectah Deck was considered one of the best in the Clan and RZA’s flood fukked up Deck’s debut album and UGod never properly got the respect he deserved during the Clan’s heyday (Plus the story about his son getting shot)
They could do an entire storyline about how during the Clan’s rise RZA pretty much locked himself inside the Wu mansion to make the beats for the solo albums. They could do some FASCINATING episodes showcasing his growth as a producer and how he was constantly challenged to outdo the last album and live up to his newfound reputation as beat maestro.
Even though the series is an ensemble, Ghost and Raekwon are kind of set up as the “lead” characters alongside RZA. Their could be multiple episodes chronicling their adventures in the industry and their run ins with Mobb Deep, Nas, Big, Tupac, etc. Matter of fact, thats how they could introduce the wider world of hip hop through Ghost & Rae just wilding out in clubs and shows. There could be fun cameos from characters representing Jay-Z, Snoop, Big Pun, Fat Joe, and Wu affiliates like Shyheim.
Getting into the making of Tical, Liquid Swords, Ironman, and OBFCL are MUST SEE television.
Also, as a series that really delves into the business aspect and the acumen and genius of Divine, Power, and Mook. I really think they’ll explore how the Wu empire came about. Remember at the height of Wu-Tang, it wasn’t JUST Wu Wear. It was actual clothing stores, merch, a record label, and VIDEO GAMES. Divine did an interview where he said Wu-Tang Corp at one point was making 30 million annually.
And think about it. Everything I listed is just the stuff that we ALREADY know about! If they want to start getting into the personal lives of each member and revealing things we may not know outside of group dynamics thats a whole new area of story telling. All of Dirty’s shenanigans could make a season within itself.
So really the skies the limit for this show. 3 more seasons, and ending the series with the release of Wu-Tang Forever and culminating RZA’s five year plan seems like a great way to tie it all up

Only in short spurts. It gets annoying for extended dialog.IM 5 MINUTES INTO SEASON 2
AND IVE NOTICED THE LEAD ACTOR
SOUNDS MUCH MORE LIKE RZA NOW.
Awesome breakdown. I did watch the Breakfast Club interview, and apparently he has 4-5 seasons ready. He said when he presented the idea, he had to have multiple seasons, because that's how TV works. So, RZA is definitely prepared. We may get up to Wu-Forever...since that marks the "5 Year Plan"
The dude they got playing U God is perfect.. He has to be his nephew or some shyt he look and act just like him
Bryan Danielson
Jmare007 x Bryan Danielson x JLova = King Ghidorah
Rza the other day said ep 8 gonna be one with some big moments from ODB.
Oh boy!!! Lol
Just an actor. He said that he watched season 1 with his father, and his pops told him that the show doesn't have U-God, so he should try out for the part for season 2, since he looked like him

im guessing season 3 is them making 36 chambers?
i don't think he meant that he has 4-5 seasons ready he was saying you gotta have content to make that much shyt in order to get taken seriously in the TV world. he had to demonstrate that he had enough story for that many seasons. this show is not shot that much ahead of time.
