In the beginning, it was a dictatorship. This was always known. He'd make all of the decisions...business and music wise...which is what got them to the top. Hell, with all of those strong personalities, they would've never got ish done if it was a democracy. The ish they hated, and now openly complain about, is the ish that propelled their careers. He always used to change beats on songs after they recorded. But now they openly voice how they hate that. For instance, Meth didn't hear that final All I Need beat until he heard the album. He said he didn't even record to that beat, and liked the original one better. BTW - he still hates that song to this day.
You know what I find interesting is that we never really knew how much Ghost was involved as a Wu-Exec in those early years. Granted, Ghost was hustlin with Divine & RZA at that time (before RZA stepped away completely) and always around, so that money along with Power's bread was funding the business...but in all of the early interviews and such, you never hear about Ghost in the meetings, Ghost in on the decision making, or anything. Was he an exec solely due to the funds, and just being there to help create.
i never even saw how fish and motherless child had the similar breakdown until he said rza inspired him.
