Raekwon kicks it at The Breakfast Club (2/27/14)

[Danie84]

I don't know why Rae can't get it through his thick gums, a Wu-Tang album is RZA's baby. Wu was

his brainchild, and if it wasn't for his vision, Rae would not be revered in the game 20 years later.

Nobody could tell the Chef anything when he put out Immobiliarity (which I grew to like), and then

the abysmal Lex Diamond Story (only 3 good songs), because that was his solo projects. Anyway, Raes bitterness is only souring his legacy

We all know that Rae's problem is $$$, but my question is WHO is fronting the money for this album? It has to be RZA & Divine, maybe Power. Why can't Rae just accept that payment is minimum and this one is really for the fans. Unless they get a sponsor for this album, which is possible, no one is really gonna see any money from the album, and if it's sponsored, there goes residuals.

We will never see a group like Wu in music period. The brand is unlike any other, stronger than KISS and ICP, and RZA owns it, everyone else owns it, yet no one owns it. I really don't think Rae ever sat back and realized how blessed he really was, and how generous RZA was. At one point, everyone was eating off everyone else project, then RZA GAVE them back their deals so he doesn't eat unless he is involved, AND they still are free to use the brand whenever they want.

sup mayne.. but am I off to say they blew up because of Meth?

well. SOME would argue it was due to both METH and RAE... because it's the song CREAM that blew them up.

cream is popular cause of meth. both deck and rae had fire on that but if anyone was weka on that song (and noone is, top 3 hip hop song ever to me) its rae cause rza provided an absolute fire beat, deck BLESSED that track, meth created the best hook in hip hop and even dirtys singing (or is it 60 second.. noone ever has the right info) is super classic. raekwon is not getting sole props for cream

You acting as if Rae verse wasn't one of the most talked about, memorable verses of out the entire Wu catalog.
