Nothing wrong with that, they touching different audiences and the group needed that if you ask me. As long as they came with the real shyt right after to balance it.
behind the scenes and premiere they were together laughing etc..
I would hardly consider Wu tang Forever to be a crossover album breh. Different doesn’t mean crossover
Im saying. People here seem to think that Rage was a pop rock band or something. They were quite the opposite and ironically were picked up by the MTV crowd
Finished the doc. Man...I agree it needed another ep, but overall? Great fukking documentary. Very well done.
Last two eps were gut punches man. All the ODB shyt, his mom's quote about not crying because she cried when he lived...him coming back from jail and being a ghost of his former self...damn. And fukk Dame Dash btw. And fukk that manager, Jared lmao.
Ultimately...the manager was right. They had it all and dropped the ball. Leaving the Rage tour was a major fukk up. Lots of money was left on the table, and perhaps more importantly decisions like that impact your relationship with booking agents, fees, etc. And after that the money problems just seemed to compound and compound.
I've always felt RZA was deceptive and still feel that way...but there's no denying that the Clan also made stupid decisions and didn't think about business right. Them attacking Divine for taking a commission...what? A 20% one at that? Most big time managers gonna take more than that. At least 25-30 if not more.
Just based on the demand for old school hip hop, and even more so WU hip hop, in Europe...these dudes should all be rich today. KRS makes a healthy living to this day due to Euro cacs. How these dudes couldn't turn that into a yearly European tour blows my mind. Then you got the brand and clothing...they couldn't figure out how to revive that shyt? NOW with streetwear being king? Disappointing.
End of the day tho I'm glad they're all cool with each other and touring again. Bless all those dudes. Major part of my childhood and I'm still a fan to this day.
As someone that’s worked personally with a few of these cats and their handlers in the realm of music booking, let’s just say that some of them decided on managers that are plugged in, and others are still rolling with their boys from the block.Finished the doc.

Ok I get all of that, but my ultimate question in all of this that has not been answered by someone close to them. Did Divine do them dirty or did none of them have any knowledge of what goes on behind the scene? I have heard numerous songs, interviews in which they state Vine was ripping them off. Listening to him talk and them talk I get the feeling he was fair but they were dudes who knew nothing about the industry outside of rapping. I could be wrong but his story to me was the most interesting as all I ever heard about him was negativity
Can't speak on it from any of my experiences. But from the optics of some of those scenes with the whole clan and Devine arguing in the kitchen, it seemed like a case of both.
