everybody in wu tang clan besides rae and rza, how they eatin???

do them overseas shows really pay enough to maintain a moderately decent living?

 

[360dagod]

I know BCC and Foxy personally.

The members of BCC are able to tour yearly overseas and that's where the bulk of their income come from. I'm talking places like Japan, Prague, Italy, Argentina, and other countries you'll be surprise to know there's Duck Down fans.

Unfortunately, Foxy and her brother Gav (Pretty Boy) is living in their BK childhood home, and doing terrible. Her poor mother is not doing too well, and their aunt is holding down the house...I won't divulge more, but Foxy fukked herself over with her stink attitude. Can you believe when the camel opened the Barcalay Center with those concerts, he invited her to perform, but the chick never showed up. Oh, and she's really bi-polar.

I remember reading years ago Gav got locked up on some scam shyt or something of that nature

Rappers basically gotta understand that this shyt is a business. If you wann secure your future don't just worry about the music, make moves outisde the music too. You're only hot for so long.

I bet Ghost and Meth still eating good, probably just as good as Rae. I know Rza still caked out from producing and shyt. He aint never gonna go hungry. Everybody else probably getting show money and saving. Wu can tour here or overseas and eat whenever they want.

I've said it before, Puff broke Craig Mack mentally..... now Craig's chilling in the Carolinas at a cult compound with R.G. Stair.... who's history I'm not gonna elaborate on here.

Craig Mack Cult - YouTube

Stair's cult, if you wanna join. Overcomer Ministry

No, I don't know what Diddy does to his artists' spiritually.

Man it's so sad out here for these dudes. Rockers still performing arenas after being washed up . These rappers living at home and joining cults.

My biggest gripe with hip/hop is the lack of innovation. All these guys should be playing their own instruments. That brings more showmanship to the game and makes more people want to see you in concert.

Anyway I heard Cappadonna (Guest starred on Ironman, was involved in many Wu projects) was working as a taxi driver.

he said he did the cab job for personal growth cause he was getting music money and thought let me help out the hood for a bit, he talks about it in a recent interview from a few months back.

I hooked up Saafir's phone and Internet, that nicca lives on 98th and Dst in a duplex, in the HOOD, and that was BEFORE he got strapped to that wheel chair full time. I've worked at Tajai house, from Hieroglyphics fame. But them Hiero niccas got a global following, they always working.

How well is Del doing? I've always wondered how he made his dough. Aint he a super pothead?
