I don't think he's worried about the backlash from them. They been brothers for like 30 years at this point. He expects it. And let's not act like this has always been the most harmonious group in the world. I like the album a lot but I do recognize in a group setting, there is a need to get input from everyone and that way they feel more ownership of it. It's one thing to tell dudes in their 20s with nothing to lose and everything to gain what they're going to do and how but it's another to do that with successful 40 year olds. He's in a pickle
But in a sense, he sort of has to if there's gonna be any sort of work. Ghost seems disinterested in Wu projects. We're still waiting on Crystal Meth..hell he averages 4+ yrs in between albums...FILA been coming for about for 3 years now, still no Dark Matter, the Rebellion. And Wu-Massacre was a disaster musically and critically.
Question - Does anyone think that the internet age only makes public what has always existed? For years they said they they never heard albums or the finished tracks until the project was released. They've always said RZA did this or that. Rae shytted on Bobby Digital he was the only dude not on it, I think. We've known about the in-fighting since forever, rumors of a breakup since The Show, then the Rage Against the Machine tour in '97. Dudes have forever not shown up for videos, magazine shoots, tour dates, TV appearances. How many times have you seen the full Clan live? And it's not even RZA all of the time. They've called out each other numerous times.
I think they'll always be together but there will always be this. They've been together 30+ now but will always be Wu. They're not really New Edition, Jodeci, Temps or those other R&B groups. They're not like The Beatles entirely...they are what they are. The Clan, Sunz of Man, Dreddy, Timbo, Power, Killarmy..that's what's left.
