The RZA says that the Wu-Tang Clan signing with Warner Bros. Records to release its forthcoming A Better Tomorrow album holds special significance.
“Something very patriotic about Wu-Tang being here on Warner Bros.,” RZA says during an interview that premiered in the DX Daily today (October 3). “Warner Bros. is an American-owned company. They started their company with two brothers in a barn with a camera. And when I think about me and my brothers staring our company, Wu-Tang Productions, with two turntables in a garage, I just felt that synergy wise, spiritually wise it would be a great place to kinda complete our cypher right here in the home of a patriotic company, Warner Bros. I met some good people here, of course, but that was the driving force internally that made me say, ‘Let’s, let’s [partner with] Warner Bros.”
Warner Bros. is slated to release the Wu-Tang Clan’s A Better Tomorrow album December 2.
RZA says that he wants to make a mark at the storied record company, which has released material from Meek Mill, Common, Ice T, Big Daddy Kane and Jungle Brothers,
“One day, that ‘WB,’ that ‘W’ there, can be a Wu-Tang ‘W,’” RZA says. “That’s the goal here.”
Excited should be good . RZA is a great actor as well .Talents like RZA are a rarity in this day and age . We should treasure him like a rare plant
RZA is a wack actor.
i thought rza said yesterday it was getting a black friday release..shit already got a push back? damn
Nov 28 to Dec 2. It’s only a few days.
ye he did say black friday nov. 28 which really makes no sense because albums always drop on tuesday, never on friday
Signing with Warner Bros is a dumb move for the Wu.
And RZA should know better than this.
The album should be good, though.
this nigga been the 10 percenter of the group
fucking his group mates over and feeling “patriotic” over some white owned record label signing him smh
warner bros is horrible for hip hop, Im shocked
RZAmade this move, and I say RZA because he usually makes
all of the decsion

Warner Bros ain’t shit
Common was on there for 1 album that didn’t sell well. Big Daddy Kane was only there because they took over Cold Chillen. Ice T was famous but didn’t release many hits to sell well. Jungle Brothers weren’t promoted so couldn’t sell like Native Tongue counterparts, Meek Mill? Who cares….
RZA probably did it because he is trying to really do that movie thing and I’m sure they think they can help each other because anybody that would have released this album was probably gonna do great regardless….although that might be a selfish reason that’s the ONLY reason I can see of why he would think that maybe one day that “W” in “WB” can stand for the WU!Surely not from just one record tho!
wutang fell the fuck off
wutang circus = worst act in hip hop
Rza’s a comedian now,
‘patriotic”? I smell and sense he’s somehow furthering his own ends with this deal, Wu shuda bin Independent by now, wtf happened to Wu-tang Records? Razor Sharp Records? these guys smh, can only hope for a better album than 8 diagramsh*t at this rate
Razor Sharp and Wu-Tang Records are smaller major labels. They don’t directly deal with the bigger majors.
Folks really have to get this “This artist is indie so this artist makes TONS more money” idea out of their heads.
