RZA interview: Cliques, Flicks & Politricks
Heres an excerpt talking about the problems with Wu-Tang, bi vs friends.
You asked about Wu-Tang, that’s the problem with it. There’s third energy, that’s sparking our own energy and making us look at somebody gotta be wrong here, somebody gotta be wrong. Maybe it’s Brother Divine, somebody gotta be doing something wrong here. Nobody is doing something wrong, this industry has been like this since the 60s, homey. It’s very rare that a black artist even makes it 10 years in this business. It’s very rare that hip hop artists make it this far. That we could still be worth money in the first place. And you can ask anybody. I’ve talked to niggas from before, I’ve talked to Redman and De La and all them niggas, when I was talking to them in the early days of hip hop and shit. I talked to everybody, man. I asked them how much they be getting. We was getting top dollar compared to what some of these niggas was getting.
Inspectah Deck got his first album, Redman never got nothing for his albums, as far as dollar advances and shit like that. To realize that we had that kind of advance, and we already selling 50,000 records. You can write that off, it’s not coming back. If I give you a million and you only get a dime a record after deduction and everything, all that shit, from that dollar, you sell 50,000, you gonna owe me. That’s the system.

WU-TANG! WU-TANG! WU-TANG! ...
News for those 25 and over. 
Remember the days of solid album releases, def jam with a respectable roster and westwood on at 12-3am playing decent records. Seems like a distant memory. Well the closest you can get to those days may just be a night like this:
ARTIST: RAEKWON performing ONLY BUILT 4 CUBAN LINX
SPECIAL GUEST: GHOSTFACE KILLAH
VENUE: KOKO
DATES: MONDAY 19TH MAY 2008
TICKET PRICE: £16.00
VENUE ADDRESS: 1a Camden High Street NW1
VENUE TELEPHONE: 0870 432 5527
Lets hope they stick to the script, because as much as we love the Wu, no-one wants to pay to hear any Rae, post cuban linx album cuts.
In other news Redman & Method Man, also on tour together announced plans for 'How High 2' and a follow up to 'Blackout'.
