Ghostface Killah has shared that he’s never watch Hulu’s popular show about the Wu-Tang Clan, and his reason why is fascinating.
Speaking with Touré for an episode of his Touré Show that premiered on Friday (June 28), Pretty Toney explained his reasoning for ignoring the popular television series Wu-Tang: An American Saga.
He began: “I never seen that shit. I never watched it. Never in my life. RZA know that. Because that’s not my story. You want a Ghostface story, you get a Ghostface story.”
He added: “You could take a piece of me: ‘Oh, he had two brothers with muscular dystrophy.’ I’m me. There’s a story behind myself.”
When Touré asked Ghost if he was curious about the show, he remained defiant: “I don’t care about that shit.”
He added that he was glad that, per the host’s estimation, it was good, because RZA is his “brother,” but noted that one reason he never watched it is because he never spoke with the person who wrote his role. Check out the clip below, which begins at about the 42:55 mark.
Ghostface isn’t the only Wu-Tang rapper to have shared that he didn’t watch An American Saga.
Last year, Method Man joined Kevin Hart for an episode of his Golden Minds podcast where he explained he’s never watched an episode because he wanted to allow the show to take creative liberties with its story and not feel a way about it.
“So to see this come to fruition on screen, it was a no-brainer for me knowing how RZA works,” he said. “In the beginning, it was like, ‘Wow, they’re taking a lot of liberties here with the story.’ In hindsight, knowing how some of these things work, and embellishments and sometimes dudes still be having open cases and shit so I could understand.
“I haven’t watched an episode, personally, but I get the scripts ahead of time. Everything ain’t for everybody, that’s all I could say.”
Method Man continued: “I did not want to mess with their process. These people get paid to do these things — I mean you’re talking about Hulu and Imagine. Imagine, Brian Grazer. Sometimes you gotta step back and keep your opinions to yourself.”
The 52-year-old gave RZA his flowers and admitted his involvement as well as trusting his vision with the American Saga series made it easy for him to co-sign the show and a Hip Hop group story that needed to be told.
“RZA, like I said, this man is a genius. I know that term gets thrown around a lot but he is an actual genius — changed the game,” the Power star said. “There was never in the history of music where a group signed with the option to sign as solo artists with other labels.
“Labels, one thing they don’t do is play nice with each other. They’re not gonna share money. So to have me on Def Jam, GZA on Geffen and Raekwon at the home team Loud you had these three labels working together for our cause — unheard of. In terms of changing the game, that’s changing the game right there.”
I hope he leaves Islam and embraces Jesus, Man is a legend. Supreme clientele and Iron man = better than 90% rappers catalogue .
Jesus? You’re an ignorant one aren’t you, because your “god” is better than the other “god” right? 🤣
A religion that doesn’t enforce taxes to non bievers and ultimately condones killing non obeying tax payers for their faith is hardly a religion worthy of God nor worth following. I suggest you read the Quran in its entirety before coming to a person like me. Jesus be with you.
Both religions condone the empowerment of leaders and the destruction of lives from fallen kingdoms….as well as taxed contributions. I suggest you study religion in general probably for your entire lifetime before you make these statements. May wisdom be with you.
The Quran advocates peace and tolerance. Read quranix.org
SHow me one verse from th enew testament that states your claims. Ill wait. Submission========Qur’an 9:29—Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, from among the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizyah (tax) with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. What exactly is peaceful about this?
That almost never happens and is a ridiculous premise. It’s like watching the original Star Wars trilogy and then pretending Jedi never happened for no rational reason. Only fools do such things.
That’s absolutely absurd, The words of allah don’t diminish in value because it isn’t practiced. All of Allahs words are true. Ahl as-Sunnah wa’l-Jamaa’ah, as indicated by the Quran and Sunnah, is that the Quran is the word of Allah in a true sense. Its letters and meanings were sent down, not created. It came from Him and will return to Him. How dare you say the words of Allah ar eno literal and ridiculous ….
