Spin: Wu-tang help set off the East/West war?

[weMFR]

I was at How Can I Be Down in 95 and ODB jumped on stage during someone else's set (I don't remember who) and threw the turntables on the floor

Im pretty sure it was Akinyele. Brooklyn Zoo and Ak's crew from Lefrak had somewhat of an ongoing beef in the 90s. There was an incident where they got into a shootout.

I like these kind of interviews. Reminds me of wresting "shoot interviews" where the person just tells it as they remember it & it isn't pc

 

[weMFR]

Doubt it was west/east thing..

I know they had MC Eiht in the Can It Be All So Simple video.. and he's as "west coast" as it gets.

anyone remember this.. studio ton remix

..

[DoomzdayzV]

I remember Buddah Monk telling some story about ODB smacking Sticky Fingaz by accident because he mistook him for King Just

...the only thing this confirmed is the Wu rolled deep in the 90s

Fortunately for them they did it to the right people in the right places lol

I don't think you understand how deep Wu was back then. Like I said Death Row didn't want beef with them after Rza got jumped. It wasn't worth the trouble.

They were 10 deep performing in the 5th Ward for $100 a show, before they were even Wu-Tang in '92. C'mon son. I know the story. Most rappers wouldn't go to the 5th Ward in the early 90's.

I'm not saying these guys are Superman. I'm saying they didn't limit their wild behavior to "safe" places or people.
