RZA popped up on the Rae and Ghost Verzuz and for the 25th Anniversary thing they did on IG Live too though.:jbhmm:

If this was shot in 2015, I feel like a lot of water has flowed under that bridge because they've at least collaborated on the 'Mics & Men' doc and the Hulu show in the past two or three years.:patrice:
Y'know what? I'm not even gonna try and call it :hubie:

In Raekwon’s book he said he doesn’t fukk with rza. The final straw was when Rae was working on getting a movie deal with Leonardo DiCaprio and RZA didn’t allow him to do it because of the Hulu show. It got so nasty that Raekwon’s character was written out of the Hulu show but then a deal was worked out so Rae could get a bigger cut of the money.

Wild.

I have no idea how you could do that show without that Raekwon :mjlol: I remember there was talk of them doing it without U-God, at one point, and even that had me :patrice:.
I'm glad they pulled it together. The scene with RZA juelzing about why he needed that 8 bars of silence at the beginning of 'Chessboxing' would have been :francis:

If they cut Rae out would they have given Ghost an invisible friend? Or replaced him with his non-union Mexican equivalent - Donjuan The Cook:pachaha:?

RZA would have shot himself in the foot if he'd stuck to it. Outside of the cat who plays Dirty, Shameik Moore might be the closest in terms of capturing the personality we've seen over the years. :ehh:

He's been working on it for a minute. I think Rae did crowdfunding for it and everything.

Yeah I remember that

I’m just wondering why it’s taken this long


Seems like any and everybody cool with Raekwon would’ve jumped on the opportunity to help him get this out as soon as possible

A decade is a long time

I completed a film to DVD. It takes time and discipline.

At that level even more so.

I will mute Charlamagne's part. I will have my day with him and put him in his place for what he did to Onyx, Post and others.

Other than that, it looks incredible!
