Hip Hop Bore: RZA vs Wu Tang..

Raekwon speaks out against new Wu album's "guitar/orchestra" direction

Quote
In a recent interview with Hip-Hop personality Miss Info, Rae said that he and the other members of Wu are very unhappy with Rza's heavy guitar-layden beats on the group's upcoming comeback disc, 8 Diagrams. So much so that they will come out with a follow-up album if changes aren't made to this one, or of it's not permanently shelved.

"Rza's tryin' to create too much of a orchestra, piano ...he's trying to do too much of this guitar @#!* like he got a guitar on his @#*$ing back," Raekwon said. "We don't want that and the fans don't know us for that." [Watch Here]

Rae said the rift began with musical critiques by the group members of Rza's new sound.

"This is a new sound trust me, I know where I'm at and I'm the Rza, just trust me,'" Rae said Rza told the group. "No, we're not trusting you because we're not walkin' outta the studio happy. It's his vibe. He's like a hip-hop hippie right now."

But at this point, the group is already over budget and the album is pretty much finished. Though Rae said nobody's happy with the project except Rza, it looks like it will hit the street as is. If that happens, Rae said he and the other members will release Shaolin vs Wutang, a response album without Rza.

"We gotta strike back with something right away to let them know we wasn't in agreement with that," Raekwon said. "If this album @#*$s around and goes that way, its gonna be a big shock to the game."

rae needs to STFU.  rza is the fucking god of wu-tang.  rza's always used guitars in his shit, why's he flippin' out all of a sudden?  sounds like he wanted a more mainstream sound.

Wu-Tang has been lacking quality control for their entire career - there's as many highs as there is lows with those dudes.

Rae would have more of a point if his last album was "Cuban Linx" - but since he put out that piece of shit "Immobilarity", he has absofuckinglutely no room to talk.

The only Wu-Tanger that is consistent is Ghostface.

See this is the problem, you got some rappers trying to take it back to '96, it's stupid while others are actually trying to move it forward and not in a degenerative way like da South.
