Earlier this year, The Wu-Tang Clan announced that it would be releasing its sixth studio album, A Better Tomorrow.
In a recent interview with Grantland, Wu-Tang mastermind The RZA spoke about the notion that other Wu members should follow his lead, as the group ascended under his initial plan. “Well, I think if I was one of the other members, if I wasn’t RZA, I would fall in line,” said RZA. “Because it worked! It ain’t work one time. It worked multiple times. It worked more than it failed. The batting average is good. And at the same time, I’m not so egotistically conceited whereas I’m not gonna fall in line if someone else came with a great plan. And that’s where I feel a little remorse as this day is approaching.”
RZA continued, explaining how his efforts to get every Wu member on board for the new album has been difficult. “It’s like, wow, I kept trying to pull people together,” he said. “I spent a lot of money and a lot of time this year. I put my movie career on hold for the first half of the year because I was focusing on making this. I went down to Memphis, I went down to Philadelphia, I came back to the East Coast to reopen the Wu Mansion [RZA’s old house in New Jersey, where a bulk of post–36 Chambers material was recorded]. I invested thousands of dollars to rebuild it so that we can have a place to record a new album. And when I scheduled that to happen, only a few good brothers showed up.”
RZA specifically named names, stating that Ghostface Killah and Raekwon were either largely or entirely absent from the recording process. “And one of the guys who showed up the most was Method Man,” said RZA. “He showed the most tenacity, he was the most vocal, he showed up the most, and he got the most lyrics on the new album. He’s already recorded eight or nine songs. He’s been on it. You know, I give Cappadonna credit, he’s been really on it. U-God has been present. Masta Killa be representing. Inspectah Deck has been somewhat present. Ghost has been, you know, 20 percent present. And Raekwon hasn’t shown up at all. When you look at somebody like Masta Killa and U-God, they seem to have that original hunger to complete the legacy. I respect that everybody [is] busy with they own lives. I started with a plan that I thought would work. Now maybe my plan not working.”
After reading the article, Raekwon took to Twitter to respond:
This is the latest in a long line of conflicts between RZA and Raekwon, as well as Ghostface Killah. In a recent interview with HipHopDX, RZA addressed Ghost and Rae’s absence at Rock The Bells performances. “They’re bullshitting,” he said at the time. “There’s no reason for them not to be here.”
Additionally, Ghost and Rae were among the harshest critics of Wu-Tang’s last album, 8 Diagrams.

Stop fuckin’ tweeting man…you lose credibility among real niggas every time you do that shit. Keep your drama in-house. If you wanna talk about it later, fine. But don’t allow the public to view your dirty laundry like that, it makes your whole circle weaker. Rae is a O.G., he should know this. Twitter is brilliant because if you allow most people to talk their way into trouble, they’ll do it. There’s just certain people you expect to be above it. You don’t never see Jay-Z or Nas tweetin’ some bullshit. Rae is from that era, get away from the fuckin’ computer and get in the studio with Rza. The nigga jumps at the oppurtunity to do songs with Justin Bieber and Drake, but can’t come through for the nigga that made him? That’s weak.
REAL TALK! these dudes is OG’S in the game. They have an entire planet following them. AND RAE acting brand new to this fact that RZA quartered backed the whole shit from the GENESIS!! One bad album should not dictate ones career! It’s how you start and finish. I’m with Sensaye on this one. STOP THAT TWEETER BULLSHIT!! To me that aint WU-TANG!!! Save that shit to these newbies. When you do that, you expose the weakness in your armor to the MEDIA! RAE AND GHOSTFACE? WE WANT THAT MARBLECAKE FROM YEARS PAST! DO THAT SHIT!!!
Brothers fight. Sibling rivalry that’s all. Lets not make this into something bigger, MEDIA!!!
good point cilvaringz
hahahahha!
lol @cilvaringz. What’s that dude doing with his own album though? His version of a Wu-Tang album? The once mighty Wu-Tang has crumbled.
This entire situation saddens me. You don’t fight with your brothers in public. It’s becoming very apparent these dudes ain’t as close as they used to be. With the money, come the egos.
This beef stems from 8 Diagrams. Rae and RZA had a falling out back then over the musical direction, could be a similar case here.
I’ve seen plenty of siblings fight in public and time that out to wonder twin it up and beat someone else’s ass.
Honestly, if the new one don’t drop I wouldn’t be mad at all. Those recorded songs can be singles and the legacy will still stand.
Add on, RZA ain’t mention GZA.
Lovely… lots of Cappadona and Masta Killah and little to no GFK and Raekwon.. if this comes out it will probably suck.
yo cappa and mk are dope as fuck shut your batty
Motherfuckers is sleeping on Masta Killa
No they both are terrible lol. Might as well have Soulja Boy on there.
i bet any money these dudes saying cap and masta killa are “wack” are white boys, either that or some out of touch “al roker” nigga who just discovered hip hop after 2000 #faggotfans SMDH
until I looked at the check four $4800, I have faith that…my… friend woz like actually erning money parttime at their computer.. there friend brother started doing this for only 8 months and resently paid for the debts on their cottage and got a great Lotus Esprit. visit the website http://WWW.FB39.COM
He obviously dissed the system where white men in suits from Hollywood try to adapt the music so that it would appeal to the masses and would fuck up their mentaility. What the fuck were you thinking? He hates Hollywood cause they make movies over there? Moron.
RZA needs to handle his business and send out the records/cds/tapes/t-shirts/comic books/posters people ordered from Soul Temple Music back in March or at least give us our money back!!! Bullshit label cant even respond to emails regarding shit we paid for 6+ months ago. Guess thats what we get for trying to support real hip-hop!
Like BOYCOTT SOUL TEMPLE MUSIC on Facebook if you got ripped off by RZA and Soul Temple or if you want to support the hundreds of people that did!
Mass Appeal are a class act they refunded a 25 dollar custom charge no problem u should check them out for sum dope shit
I just got my money back earlier this week. Waited a long time, but got it back! I think people are slowly getting their money back.
Still boycotting Soul Temple though
I havent heard shit in over a month. I dont want my money back I want the shit I paid for back in April. How the fuck you selling Pre-orders and I dont got that shit 6 months after it hit stores?
Only bought that shit for the limited edition Brown Tape then a week later they start selling the so called limited edition tape on CD and vinyl!! LIARS!!!
Dude you keep posting this on every wutang article. get a life. U must be a disgruntled wu member.
naw just a disgruntled fan who got ripped off!
#HATERZGONHATE
#SCAMMERSGONSCAM
#CRYBABIESAREGONNACRY
not crying just spreading the good word not to to business with these crooks.
Raekwon is being a fool. He needs to shut the fuck up and go into the studio.
First 2 wu albums are classics then it kinda seemed to hard to get them workin as a crew again. Ghostface needs to really be more involved cause that nigga stays putting out incredible albums and he prolly got the best discography in hip hop every album is dope as fuck
except Ghostdini
ghostdini is FIRE…
I agree with second post. For what it is Dini was a dope as album to bump when you with your lady etc. It had its place.
Raekwon his shit all sounds the same and Ghost releases enough solo work,so they won’t be missed as long as Meth has a good few bars that’s all that’s needed
they should kick Rae an Ghost out and replace them with Soulja Boy and Chief Keef
or replace them with gucci mane and waka flocka
It’s a shame they can’t make something work. But I kind of expected Meth to be #1 on RZA’s list, and expected Ghost & Rae to be the alleged suspects.
Oh well, Just give me some new Wu. Whether it’s a full group album, or another compilation like Legendary Weapons, or even a small group like Wu-Massacre. JUST GIVE ME MORE WU. I love the solo stuff, but I’m staning for some new Wu-camp collabs.
what about my homie the gza/genius? i’d appreciate hearing something from him.
just listen to liquid swords
Wasn’t there a Liquid Swords 2 coming? And it was gonna be produced (not sure if ENTIRELY) by RZA?
salute Tical I couldn’t be happier he’s got the most on the album, surprised INS wasn’t more present but to be honest he hasn’t been shown the love he really deserves considering his contributions the last 20 years to the clan. I feel the whole clan should be getting behind Decks next album after all he’s done for other members.
Not surprised by Ghost or Raes absent at this point…
Raekwon quit bitching. this nigga doing songs with Bieber and Lourdes, songs nobody is feeling. Hit the studio like them other h=guys. Meth has platinum solo albums and he is showing up for sessions and this fat nigga always talking about money
wu tang forever
naw
A WU album without Rae and Ghost guna be shit. The reason deez niggas prbly reluctant to go is cause they actually did some real solo shit and should be compensated accordingly. I don’t believe RZA on this shit..I think RZA full of shit..Rae and ghost seem like real niggas
Yo just listen to 8 diagrams. Both Rae and Ghost say they didnt like that shit and they were right it was very mediocre. If thats the shit RZA lookin to put out then they right to not want to be in that shit. they prbly want to have more say in what the album looks like and if i was RZA i would listen. They the hardest niggas in WU.
that bieber joint was the hardest song ive ever heard
^^ it actually was a hard track minus the bieber vocals.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmnQubGXQJ0
Wu Tang beefing on social media is like Drake really being in the streets, get off the computer my nigga, real OG niggas dont tweet
thats what these 90’s niggas doing now, commenting on twitter? fuck raekwon , anyway u look at it u wrong dumb ass nigga. selfish Kobe bryant ass nigga, how many rings kobe gonna win now?
lol @ these old washed up wu niggaz, fuck em. #SWAG #SWAG
You probably never had a wash in your life, bum ass nigga. You’re on the internet dissing real hip hop legends.
Go stick Drake’s dick up your ass you fucking swaggot.
is it money? damn I need these dudes to get it together man. wu is the example man.
get it together brothaz because together we stand tall divided we fall
rae is chillin up in the dot w his icewater division
WHAT THE FUCK GET THE SHIT TOGETHER. Raekwon and ghostface are my favorite in wu-tang. Just record the album all the fans want guys really. If method man put in his work and layed verses its just deisrespect for them not to. I dont trust rza 100% neither. Either way stop fighting like bitches
We need another album HIP HOP needs it
haha i wonder why u god, masta, and cappa been there the most… hmmm
i guess it beats drivin a cab
raekwon just dumb, put ur shit aside to make history, dumbass selfish nigga
RZA tryin to hold all the paper thats why these niggas dont want to play..Im pretty sure masta killah would work for a cheese sandwich…Raekwon and Ghost been making solid music for years and now they gota go and follow RZA direction? nah RZA needs to accept that he aint really the leader of WU no more.. but still WU are some dam legends and I would love to see a new album ..
WU FOREVER
Rae needs to quit the fucking bull sit & record music
Wu Tang has inspired great artists like miley cyrus and lil wayne.
You just went full retard.
How? Miley cyrus has a beautiful voice along with a beautiful ass while wayne is not only a terrific rapper but a rockstar, the next michael jackson, and a legendary skater.
Yep. It’s obvious you’re dentalbitch spewing lies.
It’s true though. Miley has a beautiful voice and ass and wayne is a terrific rapper, terrific singer, legendary skater, and famous rock star. He had a hit with let it rock
All of this shit said by dentalbitch is a lie.
How am i wrong?
Miley has a terrible voice and ass and Wayne is neither of those things you said with his dick in your ass is true at all.
How is wayne not a terrific skater?
He can’t even do an ollie.
My mamma used to say that being a terrific skater only requires that you enjoy skating. He’s the best.
Your mamma lied to you. You need skills to be a good skater. Wayne’s the worst.
No she didn’t lie. And wayne has indeed got skills. I’ve seen him perform the world’s first ever 2160.
Yes, she did lie. And Wayne has no skills. You made up that last part.
No she didn’t lie. All you have to do in order to be terrific is enjoy doing it. I’ve seen wayne perform the world’s first 2160. Wayne’s got the moves.
Yes, she did lie to you. Enjoying something isn’t enough to be good at something. Wayne has no moves and you didn’t see shit, you made it up.
Wayne’s defeated tony hawk in a private battle. She would never lie to me. Enjoying something is all it matters at the end.
No, he didn’t. Your mama did lie to you. Parents always lie to their kids. Enjoying something is not enough.
If she did lie to me, she would have told me the truth before I got my own place. Enjoying something is enough. Miley Cyrus thinks she’s a great twerker so she’s a great twerker. Similarly, if wayne thinks he’s a great skater, he’s a great skater.
She did lie to you and you still live with her. Enjoying something isn’t enough; you gotta have the skills. Miley can’t twerk and Wayne can’t skate.
I enjoy airplanes, yet I never flew one. Does that make me a good pilot?
Rae and Ghost need to get their head out of each other’s asses and make the new Wu happen
clearly u god, masta killa, and cappa been there the most because their pockets are hurting the most out of the crew. lol. would have put inspectah in that category, but he just did the czarface so he should be good for a bit. lol… its a money thing, and rza wants most. like the mayweather and pacquiao situation… they should agree to even pay for everyone just so ego’s are put aside.
Raekwon whatever it is you should try to work out your issue(s) so the fans can get a new Wu album & quit fucking with this online BS.
Idea: let Ghost be in charge of the next Wu album.
Ghost isn’t one of my favorite Wu-Tang MCs, BUT he knows how to pick beats.
And he knows how to pick multiple beats that work as an album.
And he knows what kinda beats the fans will like and what beats Wu’s style sounds good on.
I tend to agree. Rae and Ghost have the best ear for beats of all the non-Rza members. However Rza is one of the greatest Producers of all time and deserves the right to point the others in the right direction on the production side.
Why is it that Raekwon is always the Saboteur when it comes to new Wu material? Most critics wouldn’t have given internal bickering second thought on the last album had Rae not acted up, and here he goes again.
“She did lie to you and you still live with her. Enjoying something isn’t enough; you gotta have the skills. Miley can’t twerk and Wayne can’t skate.”
She would never lie to me. Enjoying something is the only skill you need. Wayne can skate well because he enjoys skating. You may suck at life but everyone else is enjoying life. Why can’t you?
She would lie to you. Parents lie to their kids all the time. You can’t be good at something if you just enjoy it, but don’t have any skills for it. Wayne sucks at skating, period. The only person here who sucks at life is you trolling the internet.
These parents would tell the truth to their kids when they get older. If the enjoyment statement was false, my parents would have told me the truth before I got my own place. And yes you can be good at something if you enjoy it. That’s the only skill you need. Wayne’s a legendary skater and you suck.
Then your mom is a pathological liar which explains your tendencies of lying (BTW, you still live in your mama’s basement). No, you can’t be good at something if you just enjoy it, you need ACTUAL SKILL. Wayne’s a shitty skater and you suck (figuratively and literally).
GTFOH with your disrespect to my mother. Enjoying something is an actual skill idiot. Waynes a terrific skater and YOU suck. Prove me wrong dumb fucker.
Enjoying something is not an actual skill, you dimwit. Wayne is a terrible skater and, no, YOU suck. Come back to reality.
Enojoying something is an actual skill. Wayne is a terrific skater. YOu think you can do better? I like to see you try. Oh wait, you don’t enjoying skating so youre terrible at it and in life.
No, it’s not. Having an actual skill is an actual skill, not some magical “I believe I can do this” bullshit. This isn’t a Disney movie, this is real life. Wayne is a terrible skater. I don’t need to be a skater at all, I’m a DJ and a skilled one. My life isn’t terrible, yours is since you spend your entire days on the internet.
Cyncial in life I see. Wayne believes he can skate so he’s a great skater. My life is terrific and yours is spending YOUR entire days on the internet.
I’m not cynical, I’m realistic. Wayne believes he can skate, but he can’t. You got it backwards, my life is terrific and yours is just you jacking off on the internet while trolling.
“I enjoy airplanes, yet I never flew one. Does that make me a good pilot?”
No. What I mean is enjoying doing something. You have to enjoy flying airplanes in order to be a good pilot.
What if you suck at flying airplanes even if you enjoy it?
kinda of like you enjoy dickriding and thats why you’re so good at it
You can’t suck at flying airplanes if you enjoyed flying airplanes. And I don’t consider myself a dickrider.
You are a dickrider. And you can suck at flying airplanes if you don’t have the skill for it. Enjoying it doesn’t make you good.
Im not a dickrider. And enjoying flying is the only skill you need in order to enjoying flying. It makes you good.
I enjoy basketball, yet I can’t even dribble.
You are a dickrider, you’re always dickriding your favorite artists on here. Enjoy flying isn’t enough to make you a good pilot, you need SKILLS that you get from learning how to fly. You have no sense of reality at all.
Uh dumbass, enjoying something IS the skill you need and the ONLY skill you need in order to be good at flying. How am I fucking wrong
Enjoying something is not a skill. You need REAL skills in order to be a good pilot. Stop making shit up.
Enjoing something IS THE ONLY REAL SKILL YOU NEED!!! That’s how they become good pilots. ENJOYMENT!!
No. Enjoyment is not a real skill. Good pilots have good piloting skills.
Bad pilots hate piloting and good pilots love piloting. Great basketball players enjoy the sport.
Nope. Good pilots have flying skills while bad ones don’t. Good basketball players have good basketball skills. Enjoyment is NOT enough.
WE NEED THIS
“I’m not cynical, I’m realistic. Wayne believes he can skate, but he can’t. You got it backwards, my life is terrific and yours is just you jacking off on the internet while trolling.”
White people squash the hopes of black people’s dreams. Quit being racist fucker.
I’m black, not white. So I’m not racist at all, you’re the racist since you pulled the race card.
Everybody keeps saying that U-God, Deck, Masta Killah, etc are there cause they’re hungry but completely ignored the fact that RZA said Meth’ has been there the most. He probably made the most money between music and acting than any of them, with the exception of RZA! It’s probably more than a $ thing and a personal thing!
just saying they aint got fuck else going on of course they gonna be there trying to get this money
i know cap aint going back to driving that cab
“Nope. Good pilots have flying skills while bad ones don’t. Good basketball players have good basketball skills. Enjoyment is NOT enough.”
Enjoyment is enough dumbass. I’ve seen movies where there are underdogs.
Enjoyment is not enough. Movies are fictional pieces of entertainment, so that’s irrelevant.
I’ve seen wayne beat out tony hawk, a legend so im right. You’re just mad because wayne makes far more money and fucks far more bitches than you.
dentalbitch, your entire comment is a lie and you have no good arguments.
I can see the hate in your eyes. You know there’s a life out there if you want to be as successful as wayne.
What hate? And I already have a life unlike your groupie ass sucking off Wayne.
I’m wayne’s accountant so I have a life. What life do you have? Mad because you’re not as famous as wayne?
That is a lie. Also, I’m a DJ who does shows all across the country. I get paid good and the women are hot. I don’t care about fame and I don’t care about anyone else’s success like a groupie that you are.
That’s a translation for you would rather be a loser than be successful. Shit logic right there dumbass.
No. It’s a translation for I rather live a different lifestyle and be successful there. There’s many ways of being successful and being famous isn’t just the only one. The only shit logic is coming from you.
Translation: You would rather be a loser and get ignored.
Nope. I rather be a winner and not be famous, where I’d lose privacy and deal with all of that bullshit.
Father and son kissing with birdman and wayne is not gay at all.
And neither is groping each other’s dicks and sucking them.
Fake ass bitch impersonating my name. Sucking dicks is gay, father and son kissing on the lips aren’t.
Two men kissing, no matter what, is gay.
No. Even 2 unrelated friends giving each other a kiss isn’t gay. Birdman and Wayne are father and son and father and sons kiss each other on the lips all the time. I’ve seen my friends do it and I do it too.
So do y’all suck each others dicks as well and don’t think it’s gay? Do y’all toss each other salads and don’t think it’s gay? Do y’all fuck each other in the ass and don’t think it’s gay? LOL FOH. In a normal world, two men kissing each other is gay.
We don’t do any of that shit. That’s gay. father and son kissing isn’t gay.
Riiiiiight. And how is two men kissing not gay. Do you even know the textbook definition of gay?
Gay is sexual relationships between 2 men or women. Kissing isn’t sexual.
Gay is having romantic feelings towards the same gender and kissing is romantic behavior.
Our kisses towards fathers aren’t romantic at all.
Yeah, right. No straight man kisses another man, especially their fathers.
Straight men do kiss their fathers. I’ve even seen them kiss their girlfriends after. Birdman is wayne’s father so they can kiss.
That is a lie. They don’t kiss their fathers at all. No straight men can kiss each other and not be gay, that’s just not how it works.
I’ve seen it happen. And Birdman is wayne’s father so father and son can kiss.
No, you didn’t. Birdman and Wayne aren’t related at all; fathers and sons can’t kiss.
Unless you’re in some rural area in the South where brothers and sisters fuck each other, two straight men kissing, no matter their relationship, is gay behavior.
Two men talking about two men kissing is gay
Wayne’s Rebirth is a terrific rock album while jay z’s rock album, collision course, was a massive flop.
Good joke. You got it backwards.
Collison Course was Jay Z’s rock debut and it sucked horribly.
You meant to say Rebirth was Wayne’s rock debut and it sucked horribly.
Collison Course fucking sucked. Jay Z’s attempt at rock blew.
Collision Course was dope. You’re on crack. Jay Z doing rock music was cool. At least he didn’t drown his vocals in Auto-Tune unlike Wayne did.
Collision Course was full of autotune and Linkin park sucking horribly.
Collision Course had no Auto-Tune in it and Linkin Park is dope.
Linkin park isn’t even hiphop.
No shit. They’re a rock band and a good one.
How are they good?
They made good records. That’s how they’re good.
Any linkin park songs you hate?
Their entire last album. Their better stuff is on their first two albums. You should check those out.
They all suck.
No, they don’t.
“No, you didn’t. Birdman and Wayne aren’t related at all; fathers and sons can’t kiss.”
Birdman is wayne’s stepfather and fathers and sons kiss all the time so they can kiss and not be gay. Besides, Frank Ocean is gay and yet you praised him. Nicki Minaj kisses other women and you never caused a big scene about that.
Keep lying. It doesn’t change the fact that two men can’t kiss without being gay, no matter their relationship. I never said anything about Frank Ocean or Nicki.
Father and son kissing, no matter what, is not gay at all. I do it all the time and never got a hard on for my dad.
It is gay. You and your father are gay.
I have a good relationship with my father and I never kiss him at all. All of my friends and people I know never kissed their fathers.
2 straight men kissing or touching/rubbing a little is not gay. I’ve see kids kissing their fathers on the lips at my old high school all the time.
You’re wasting your time here, dentalboy.
“Unless you’re in some rural area in the South where brothers and sisters fuck each other, two straight men kissing, no matter their relationship, is gay behavior.”
Brothers and sisters don’t fuck each other and father and son kissing is straight behavior. That’s what my mom told me.
“Brothers and sisters don’t fuck each other and father and son kissing is straight behavior. That’s what my mom told me.”
In the rural South, they do. There’s nothing straight about two men kissing each other. Your mom lied to you again.
Im out for the night bitches.
Have fun with your sexual escapades with Gerald.
GERALD IS A FUCKING FAGGOT!! HE’S MAKING UP LIES ABOUT ME!!
GERALD YOURE A PIECE OF SHIT!!
So basically what you are telling us is that all the same problems you all had 6-7 years ago are still the same and the album is not going to be worth my time or $, Ok thanks for the heads up.
C’mon Wu, get at all together, do it for us.
dentaldamboy aka Gerald aka many others is responding to himself… this shit is scary, that’s why I stopped to troll on this site. I can’t outdo a sick mind. swag
Fuck Swag!
You YMCMB haters are fucking idiots. Because I’m an accountant for Cash Money Records, I spend a lot of time with Birdman. What some of you may not know is Michael Jackson was planning on signing to YMCMB at the time of his death. He had even changed his stage name to Mic Jackin.
He was planning on releasing 2 Major albums of hard hitting Trap shit, one a collaborative album with Lil Wayne titled Trap Kids. Since Michael’s demise Cash Money records have actually teamed up with NASA and are creating a Global headquarters in Space and on the Moon.
The reason for this is to create a new genre of hiphop called “Zero Gravity Rap”. Lil Wayne was hospitalized because during his first zero gravity rap training session he rapped so hard he created a Blackhole that nearly engulfed him.
The universe was not ready for his talent so it tried to take him, luckily all it got was his chain and a couple of Big Mac vouchers. All you haters are gonna be sorry soon YMCMB will be so big it will have its own gravitational pull meaning you will be drawn into it no matter what you do.
You are so cool bro, I wanna be your part time lover baby.
this nxgga speaks the truth, that wurmhole shit real as fxck
Get rich or die trying = 8 million (2003)
The Massacere = 5 million
Curtis = 1 million
Before I Self Destruct = 475,000 (2009)
The buffoon lost over 7.5 million fans in 7 years, each year of his career he lost millions of fans.
Every album that 50cent dropped sold HALF or worse than half of what the one sold previous.
No artist in the history of rap music has fallen off harder, his G-Unit records is virtually dead and he hasn’t released an album in 5 years while his enemy Game who helped dismantle his label and damage his career is dropping albums every year.
GAME WON!
G UNOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5 MILLION IS MORE THAN THE HALF OF 8
Yeah man – he definitely lost. Like have you seen the statistics – you know, the statistcis that say that 50 is still one of the richest rappers out there. Richer than 90% of the current “hot” stars and richer than 99% of the veterans. So yup…i’m sure that he is not loosing sleep over some white boy who tries hard to troll him. Infact, he is probably fuckin 2 bitches right now, putting 100 dollar bills in their pussies.
Game? hahaha – that dude who is getting raped everytime he drops an album? Tht dude who has 30 guest rappers in every album? The Game, who signed with young money? lol, really? 😀 Damn, kids on the internet hella dumb. Also, u try too fuckin hard kid, it’s the same shit every day…for real, how patethic is that…damn
I never really was a big 50 fan, but you sound like a bitter ass hater. Did he fuck your mom or something?
1. Everyone was selling more in 2003. It was before bootlegging really blew the fuck up. If you look at stats across the entire music industry you can see that EVERY ARTIST has sold consistently less. Fuck, Em went Diamond in 2002, but has last several albums “only” went 3x platinum. It’s the nature of the industry.
2. Game’s 1st album went 2x plat, then he had a gold album, since then his sales tanked out as well. What exactly did he win?
Game just got exposed for fronting on instagram. What kind of rich nigga steals some white boys pictures and makes up a story about the prince of saudi arabia sending him all these bottles and watches as a gift in dubai. hes a fucking moron and faker than Ross at this point!
The International Diamond Club is elite group of rappers who have sold 10+ Million not only in the U.S. but, world wide. Including 50 Cent, Will Smith, Tupac, The Notorious BIG, Eminem & Outkast. Some of you may be thinking what about Nelly, Lauryn Hill, Kanye West and many other Muti-Platinum selling artist? International sales did not scan 10+ Million.
To this date 50 Cent’s 2003 debut Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ has sold over 15,915,010 world wide. 8,489,000 copies sold in the U.S. alone.
Will Smith’s 1997 album Big Willie Style which spawed the hit’s “Gettin Jiggy Wit It” & “Miami” has sold over 16,085,250 copies and ove 9 Million in the United States.
Tupac & The Notorious B.I.G both have sold well over 19 Million records world wide. Tupac’s All Eyes On Me and The Notorious B.I.G’s Life After Death.
The 2003 album Speakerboxxx/The Love Below became Outkast’ bigges album todate coming in at over 13 million sold as of August of 2010.
The Marshall Mathers LP was Eminems second studio album going on to sell over 25 Million copies world wide, making him the highest selling artist in rap/hip-hop.
Side Note: 50 Cent is the only one on the list to have two albums reach Diamond status world wide: 2003’s Get Rich Or Die Tryin & 2005’s The Massacre
THE MASS WENT PLAT IN 4 DAYS BISD IS GOLD 50 HAS A CERT FOR EVERY ALBUM haha you a idiot
who cares? these are some old men who are 45 or 50 years old and still rapping about selling coke on the streets???? Grow the fuck up
People like you are the reason hip hop/rap has become a cesspool of mediocre shit with no integrity . Fuck off and go listen to chief keef
Anon 1@ You are the same cat who will big up Em but disrespect the originators or founders of this, we understand it’s that Elvis syndrome but we ain’t falling for it. Keep trying though.
Didn’t know there was a shelf life on an artist making music! Good music is good music bottom line.
Really? You think Wu just raps about selling coke in the streets? Go back and listen to their shit, they are possibly the smartest lyricists out there.
WU TANG FOREVER !!!!
I don’t see what good it does calling your boys out in the media.
Also, I thought 8 Diagrams was good. It wasn’t 36 Chambers or Forever good, but good none-the-less.
WTF…..Rza built that house named Wu, why do Ghost and Rae play it sour like that. Rza gave all the members musical and creative directions and now this shit?
Fuck it, just put it out with the other members…This act of Rae and Ghost is dissrespectfull to the other Clan members asswell….fuck it, replace ’em with Action Bronson and Roc Marciano.
LOL no one would even notice the difference if they got Bronson on there instead
Are you kidding me GFK is 10x better then Action Bronson lyrically right now. Action is a watered down version of Ghost he just doesn’t have the overall wordplay of Ghost not even close.
to say 10x better is pushing it
Nah 10x better is about right for an artist in most people Top 10 ever to a virtual nobody known mainly for biting said rappers style.
GFK is in most peoples top 10? thats news to me
…..Nah for real!
Rza needs to replace Rae for Nas and Ghost for Red man.
I kid u not, this will be an even better colour to the plate
Most genius comment I’ve seen here on HHDX.
What about the GZA ?
these have beens need to lay down the mic for good, 1997 was a long time ago. people on that 2013 swag these days. Gucci
Niggas talkin about SWAG? Bro ur corny. U have no idea what WU did for hip hop. Go back to listen to ya disney rap. These niggas brought the game to the next level. Pioneers. And they still could shit on these lil skinny jean wearin niggas who have never struggled in their life. These niggas came out the real hustle. WU FOREVER. Lets see where ur lil corny pop rap niggas are in 20 years. They will be irrelevant. These niggas are legends.
Rza beats been corny for awhile aint noone checkin for sons beats no more for real…..maybe a track or two not no whole cd…he aint hungry no more ..time to let some young creative nickas make that shh hot…ghost and rae production been better than that last wu 8 diagrams was horrendously wack production was some spaced out hippie shh
Word RZA should b able to fall back a lil and let other niggas have more input on the sound. plus nigga need to compensate these niggas right. You cant be payin Rae and Ghost the same as Masta Killah. Staright up. These niggas been puttin in work.
my neighbor’s mother makes $80 hourly on the computer. She has been laid off for eight months but last month her check was $15893 just working on the computer for a few hours. imp source http://WWW.Fb39.COM
I have Lupe’s first 2 albums to go back to if this is a disappointment. Lets wait and see before making any assumptions off what Lupe is saying.
They’ll release this new album but I think it’ll be fall of 2014. Which is better since they won’t have to rush it. On a side note Meth layed that much material…#Epic we need that Crystal Meth to boss
I hope the Wu would give us 1 last great album, and hopefully Outkast would do the same, after that they can do whatever the hell they want. 1 last great album.
F*** Rae and Ghostface. If I was the RZA I would call up the following affiliates to take their place
Warcloud
Killa Priest
Killa Sin
Jus Allah
Street Life
These guys have great flows if not better anyway..their word play and lyrics are also top notch. Come up RZA pull some strings yo
Yo even even thought of some more:
9th Prince
Dreddy Kruger
Pop da Brown Hornett
RIP WU-TANG
GHOSTFACE TOO BUSY TO WORK ON A NEW ALBUM BUT HE GOT TIME TO DO COUPLES THERAPY REALITY SHOWS ON VH1 LOLOLOOL
“VH1 has announced the fourth season of its couples-therapy reality show (simply called “Couples Therapy”), which begins in January. Among the couples hitting the counselor’s couch on camera with host Dr. Jenn Berman are Jon Gosselin and Liz Jannetta, Taylor Armstrong and John Bluher, and… GHOSTFACE KILLAH and his ladyfriend Kelsey Nykole. Yes. “These couples, at a crossroads in their relationships, will join together for over two weeks as they undergo intensive relationship therapy,” the press release reads. “The couples will participate in group and individual therapy along with relationship exercises out in the ‘real world’ to see if they can rekindle the love they used to have for one another–or if it’s simply time for them to move on.”
