Nah, that was one of the dudes from Northstar, Christ Bearer , they just extended FAM from the west coast. That didn't happen too long ago. Just another wack ass group using the W giving it a bad name. Nothing to do with the original 9

Christ is putting out music here and there. Its been hella weak though.

"Black Shampoo" & "Bizarre" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Bizarre is a top 10 Wu track. It's a must play for me on my birthday.

Now, I was still hustlin’, so I’d walk in wearing all fly shyt, new sneakers. I was strapped back then, so I’d take out my gun and put it on the glass table near where Ghost would usually be sitting. RZA, on the other hand, wasn’t hustlin’ like that, so when I came on looking fresh, he’d be smelling like a goddamn onion. We used to call him “RZA Radish” back then, ’cause he never wore deodorant.

TBH tho rza was locked in making beats 24/7

I haven't read it to say where he might contradict in the book, but ever since that radio interview where he was dissing RZA and then, when RZA called up live to confront him on it, he admitted on air it was all exaggerated as a publicity stunt, I've always taken U-God's view of events with glaciers of salt.

Little things like

“I rarely carried a burner, but always when I drove or re-upped”

A paragraph later “ I was driving with but i had no burner”

“we always stayed strapped, had to have it on you”

Next up “I hid my heat on the grass or the bushes, never on me”

Etc

Doesn’t take away from the stories, but it’s frustrating

he's the grump of the group. He'll complain about everything, argue for no reason, then back track 2 minutes later.

Makes sense though if you ask me.
