Speaking of Meth (who's an afterthought here), I really wanted to see how the The Riddler:boss: on

Batman Forever came to be, because that's really what catapult Wu into the Hollyweird phase that RZA is solely ingrained in now:lupe::ehh:

I mean Wu tried it. They had Killarmy, Sunz of Man, Killah Priest solo, Gravediggaz, Cappadonna, and Wu Chronicles, Wu-Tang Killa Beez album. It could probably be argued that Wu should've focused more just on the core members cause when all those side projects started spinning off is when the group's solo work fell off.
But ironically, most of the Killabees had better albums and were putting out nothing but quality around then. Gravediggaz, Killah Priest, any Killarmy album, La the Darkman, Wu-Syndicate, Shyheim's Manchild...Sunz sat on the shelf, and was a bit disappointing to me though

I thought I was trippin when I seen that. I was like dont remember the eagle til round Bulletproof Wallets era
Deck's piece and Rae's tarantula I don't think they had until after Wu-Forever as well. I don't remember seeing Deck's until Uncontrolled Substance promos. Rae did have this crazy Wu-rolex in '96 though.

RZA said in an interview that the tv show allows him to play a little with timeframes. So it’s gonna depict real events but all the timeframes won’t match.

I can confidently say that Wu-Tang's affiliates had the strongest releases by far.... hell even years after with the Bronze Naz debut and Wu meets Indie.

At the end of the day Deck is the one that got the raw deal out of all the Wu members. He always came with heat on all them albums and for him not to get an album during that reign must fukking suck. I was listening to Forver a couple of days ago. The only song I didn't really fukk with was that Black Shampoo track. I dunno wtf they were thinking on that one.

I liked that GZA was able to get everyone on his album.
