Vlad sound like he talkin from the bathroom with the door cracked
Jabbo 😂
Maybe we was...
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Interviews from the shitter volume one
Jabbo lmao
Rae the best story teller. Dude is the hood Morgan Freeman. If RZA could unite enemies imagine what more brothers could do if we stick together.
Sparkz Mentalz Real rap fam✊🏾
but ultimately the wu didnt stick together sadly
But they came together and that means a lot when you think about it
That's real
💯💯💯
I am here for a backfill of the Wu Tang Clan: American Saga series.
Rae is so fine!!!!
Same
Me too Brotha!!!
Exactly always the backfill
George Dennis right on
The Wu-Tang clan need to voice the ninja turtles.
Rudy You the man
I'd watch that.
I’d buy that gold
That would be Dope.
Papa Wu (Master Splinter)
As Raekwon would say, don't ever underestimate the power of forgiveness!
Immobilarity
Word
I don't care what nobody says, Rae was the best to me. him and Ghost had great chemistry as well.
Been sayin that
Word
yep...i always thought rae was the illest in the crew
Best emcee in the clan. Always thought so.
Meth and odb is the best to me but that meth vs chef is classic
Raekwon's Only bulid 4 the Cuban Link and Ghostface's Iron man albums are Like Dr Dre' s The Chronic and Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle. Great Albums.
Accept one major thing fam, DRE & SNOOP are both INDUSTRY PLANTS!!
@@Billy11179 Maaaan, they're all industry plants to some degree.
You still gotta have the talent to keep up the act.
4 of the greatest ever!
Facts
Liquid Swords all day
I can listen to Rae and Ghost talk all day... lol. They're so dramatic.
I know right
Pee bubbles
LOL... everything is so urgent and outlandish with them.
That's why they're top 10 caliber
my exact thoughts while i was listening to the whole video
Yess!!☺☺😂😂
Him talking about Ghost is interesting having seen the first few episodes of that Hulu Wu-Tang show. I didn't know anything about the early days for those guys.
Matt and they end up becoming a tag team.....Rea first album is like him and ghost first album ...you would think they was close forever ...they say enemies if they become friends become the best of friends
They almost killed each other
Hulu showed Too much Satanic shit that to me down played their accomplishments.
Lost Hart - How so? Just curious
@@losthart5577 elaborate.
when rae speaks..sounds like im listening to that 1st cuban link album dropping science and history
chiladin
Well said.
amen
chiladin thats that staten island shit broski, its how it is.
Cuban links
chiladin I couldn’t pen your statement any better 💪🏾
I met Raekwon once, dude is mad chill, one of the realest cats out there.
Rafah Alkhafaji I strongly doubt it.
Rafal Stanek You doubt his credibility?
I met a person once, they were nice so must be 100% perfect
I grew up with most of the wu.rae good people
Nah i met Him too he was chill.
i got alot of respect for Raekwon he never puts anyone under the bus. you can tell the dude is gangster and knows the codes of respect and streets. he carrys himself in a respectable way.
That is true. He deserves mad respect for how he conducts himself in his interviews. He tells his story but like you dais, he doesn't clown anybody.
Groups break up...99.999% of the time. This group had 9+ people. Do the math.
I always wondered how these 9 dudes stayed together so long with having to split that money 9 ways.. Feel me?
@Roger B Right! And at 1st they was young as shit and getting small money for a show.. I'm just saying once they got ON, how did they do it splitting that money that many was..LOL
@Firo Froo I get it.. I was just saying how they stayed together for so long..
They are all still successful to date!
fo real...thats why groups or duo's never last that long cuz of money an egos, It must have been hella problems breaking bread evening between all of them
When I was growing up in Iceland the Wu Tang Clan changed the way I listen to music, they are in my top 10 most influential music act of all time. Wu Tang Clan are up there with Nirvana, Metallica, Rolling Stones, Dr Dre, Hendrix, Johnny Cash, Slayer, Queens of the Stone Age and Michael Jackson.
No
I agree with you on that the Wu changed the way people listen to music. I also co-sign Dre and Queens of the Stone Age. They're unique artists who did their own thing.
lol nice to see Slayer mentioned, imma big fan of Pantera, Slayer and Sabbath
Kjalli elite talent yo. That's word.

I was 16 when I started listening to Wu-Tang. I can't wait till I'm an 85 year old man playing Wu-Tang in my nursing home.
I bet someone is gonna comment on this when they think you’re 85 what’s your age now
Straight up!
that is a humorous reality
Protect Ya Neck in full blast!
@@rasheemthebestfirstone3274 41.
90's by far the best decade for rap.. by a long shot.. that decade was ridiculous
You right the 80s was dope too though you had alot of spitters as well
R & B too.
@@Jac735but the 80s didn’t have Midwest, down south, and west coast music like the 90s. And everyone had their own sound.
@@donovanbrown7993 I don't know, man.There's just something about the 80s that I like but I get what you're saying though Its just that people disrespect it too much because if it wasn't for them then the 90s rappers wouldn't be out you get what i'm saying
I hear Reawon is somewhere still asking people if they know what he mean.
😂😂
awwhahahahahahaa, woooord !!!!!!
😂
Nah mean
Been laughing at this comment for hours
The funniest skits of all times wit Ra and Ghost talking crazy slang 🤣😂
@@t8r507 Ha haa !!!!
Rae first albums is one of the best Wu albums ever. CUBAN LINX
classic
THE best
Yeah but Ghost made it like that
Arguably the greatest hip hop album ever to me... That CD was crazy. Especially back then. Now still....
@@bayokaya5442 right but Ghost was the star, literally and named on the cover. Best verses were his.
everytime you watch a wu member discuss the drama that was going on it always leads back to Rza
That's because RZA and Divine pretty much created and ran the company..Divine doing business he should get more money as well as RZA
Rza fed a whole hood
Chill they speak like that cause of the brotherhood let somebody else talk about Rza like that and watch how it go down sometimes you take ya brother in the yard for 5 min but no one else can o understand the shit completely had a inner beef wit one of a alikes but I'll be damn if somebody else comes at em foh!
Thats why he's the abbot
Is this a serious comment or u didn’t think b4 u posted it 😞
This dude Vlad interject a question with another question to interject the question with another interjection.
watching this after Wu Tang - An American Saga
@J Dolo You are an idiot, I love Wu Tang been listening since 92. I'm jealous cause my hair is grey at least what's left. Grow up, you obvious child. Anyone who hides behind Avatars to be a fake tough guy is just a pussy.
Thats made for tv drama. None of that shit happened
Free Chicken For Da Hood ion give a damn, that’s why I’m here. Always someone tryna act like they was on the tour bus w/ them.
@@UltimateKeyboardWarrior are u dumb
Free Chicken For Da Hood lol I’m sure some stuff did but yea it’s all scripted lol
I was was heavily influenced by Raekwon growing up. Everything from his slang talk and the way he dresses I wanted to be just like him. I didn't know what a Lexus was nor did I know who tommy hill was until I listened to only built for Cuban linx. Lexus and tommy hill should've given Rae some endorsement deals because, he blew them up.
Word!
Wallabees Clarks owes Ghost some bread
It looks like he does a 10 Step skincare routine😲
Dude is 50 now and doesn't want to end up with a face like KRS-One
Power reading this thinking "Wu Cream?"
@Poopin on the Ritz what do you mean a face like KRS1? KRS1 looks great for his age and is aging very very well and he looks HEALTHY..are you talking about his LOOKS? You ‘88 punk
I'm here trying to line up Wu-Tang: American Saga with their stories. My RUclips search history has all members names on it. Lol
The sad meaning of C.R.E.A.M.

Lol how you not gonna know what cream stand for?
???
Lol he said "You know what I mean" 3 times in 5 seconds
That's how tha chef speaks "word" *rae voice* lol!
That's just the way it was, na mean?
And youre here typing on youtube laughing at an icon... small minded.
East coast player!
Na’mean
Watching it play out in the “Wu Tang Saga” & hearing him speak on Ghost is crazy
Everybody got a friend like RZA who knows every fuckin body 😂
And that's how friendships mess up
I can see why Rae never has to get his hands dirty, dude is quite a motivator
People gotta understand that Wu may have conflicts amongst the whole clan. At the end of the day, It's all luv. They're a family. One may have beef over another but if someone from outside fucks with them at that point in time, they're gonna have their back. I give them props for still being together for this long with so many members in their group. So many rap groups that consist of maybe 3 or 4 members barely last as much as 4 or 5 yrs. Lucky if it's 1yr. Just comes to show Wu Tang is 4Ever!!
Yeah right rza and divine multi millionaires and actual talented ispectah and co. got an apartment. If they lucky. RZA family of thieves
I don't know but i feel you're right.
So what he's saying is, cash ruled everything around them.
"you know what I mean" count: 46
If you counted, you are already a lame.
You frontin' but you looking...you know what I mean?
Yaknowhatisayin'
Lower than I expected.
Naw Mean??
Nahsayin
Ghost was a crook, when he say he coming for you-he coming for you.
Ludacris rapped about this shit. But in respect to Rizza to hold together 9 niggaz from different sides of the tracks much respect
Def played a leader role...niggas listened..wish it happened more for just positive energy moving forward
Name of song please?
It's interesting how New York City used to be at the center of the rap world, but now that we aren't, people marvel at our accents. Our accents used to be normative in rap!
Only the Wu's.
These New Yawwwk accents are hella annoying. Especially when they come out here to Cali thinking they are somebody when all they have to do is walk in the wrong neighborhood and get taken out like the trash they are.
@@MacMac1313 Whoa buddy that’s a lot NY hate in your heart. That’s not good for u. Release it🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
WTF did y'all expect it was over 1,000 members in the Wu Tang Clan lol
Not true
A bit of a s t r e t c h, du says OVER 1000....LOL
Wu Tang has made some of the most influential music that I have ever heard over the years. Wu Tang Forever!!
I still can't get over this legend's verse on Nighttime vultures by Mobb Deep🔥🔥🔥
Legendary
“Word is Bond.”
Ghost look like the type of dude that’ll stick u up. And then rap about it
😭
Daaaaamn my nigga Raekwon is fresh as fuck! Cleeeeaaaaan
At the height of their fame and glory, they turned on one another
Each struggling in vain for ultimate supremacy
In the passion and depth of their struggle
The very art that had raised them to such Olympian heights was lost
Their techniques vanished
This comment is fire.
Gza liquid swords.
Not sure exactly what song but it's in the end. Lmk which song.???
@@saintmad.6913 Duel of the Iron Mic 👐 :)
I always felt sad whenever I heard this at the end of “Dual of the Iron Mic”. Now it’s heart wrenching to say the least. I miss them with all my heart.
It's Ironic. Considering it's on GZA's album, and GZA being the spiritual leader (and the least "talkative" of them all.).
Met Rae in Harlem one days years ago. Down to earth brother. From all the interviews I see him in he's always tells it like it is.
The one thing nobody will ever call him is a liar. Because he always speak from the heart and if you don't like what he said, that's your damn problem!
I know what he means.
😂😂😂
Mitchell Penner lmfaooooo
Lol
Raekwon a loyal dude. You actually learn alot of gems from the homie.
Nobody can fuck with the Chef yo! This brotha's voice, lyrics and attitude is the epitome of that Wu-Tang style and flavor!
The man is a legit, lyrical MC!
FRFR..
You could tell Rae is a goon.
Was a Goon, now he's a King so he hires Goons lol
outrage118 not anymore.
First thing I RUclipsd after watching the American saga episodes rae the chef
Shamiek did him justice with that role 🤘
@@rodneyselden4205 that nigga even has the walk down to a fucking T
Vlad doing his interview from a computer LOL
He's inside an old diving suit in a meat freezer wrapped in a burlap sack - all the interviewers were all about the onion, is what they used to call it because of its many layers, back in 2013.
Very humble person, I am happy to see how music got him out of trouble.
It's crazy, I just found this interview.
Not on some fan boy shit - Rae actually has jewels, and when he talks - I listen.
When RZA or GZA talk - I listen. These, are the Original Gods.
Actually theyre mortals just like you and i
netradioheyu
Actually, we're all G-Ds, we're all a part of the 1
I can agree and disagree with that statement , but im not gonna argue your opinion- theres simply no evidence of the statement -peace none the less
Original gods..? nahhhh just mortals mane
netradioheyu
it is impossible for a mortal to be aware of its own passing away. when we pass, or have OBE, we are still aware & conscious, just no longer in our physical bodies.
This is not opinion, it is fact. We are photons of light, the body is its host. Light doesnt die, just goes into another dimension, instantly, or at the speed of..
I love all of them but ODB was my fav
The worse one 😂
Top 5 Direct Album Sequels
1.Only built 4 Cuban LINX II
2. Jay Z vol 2
3. Marshal Mathers LP 2
4. Carter II
5. Run the Jewels 2
GZA was the illest!!!
Co-sign
ODB was definitely underrated!
Tamara Akinbo agreed...Liquid Swords is my shit!!
Tamara Akinbo odb was the shit, the most innovator mc in history, he was a real bastard cuz he gots no father on his style

Damn, this guy wakes up everyday and whatever he does is cool because he himself is cool.
"real short but chunky" in reference to his CD, he always has the best phrases..LOL..much respect and love to Raekwon.
NYC ni**as crack me up. I dig their lingo
Thats dat street craps or cee-lo talk !! 💯
Nah mean, Word life son. 🤣🤣🤣
@@universalblak72 🤣😂
Imma keep it 1,000 wit you kid, word up !! Lol my nigga Rae
We have a different way of speaking lol
Lost jewelry. That was a banga. Raekwon make the best mixtapes out the Wu.
So was Unexpected Victory. Felt like an official record
The purple tape was one my favorite projects
Word is vlad ain't paid his heating bills
😂😅😅🤣🤣😂😅 ...
Lol
Re watching this after the ferry scene on the show is crazy.
Lost jewelry. Short but chunky, lol. 🙌🏾
andrejalil damn!!!!!!!
Short but chunky ... damn
Still dropping gems.
Funny but stings. Ha ha !!
Unfortunately, the sound isnt the same without the whole clan.
Love them all, but call me crazy but I thought inspectah deck had the most talent. He was good as fuck, but he had bad luck and never did anything
he had an album ready until RZA's basement got flooded
AFunkyDiabetic No luck. His verse on Tupac's Got My Mind Made Up got lost too.
Johnny Blaze what do u mean never did anything? The man released 4 solo albums , man
StonedRidah all cheeks
AFunkyDiabetic what do u mean by that?
Makes sense that there would be drama, you put that many people in a group and they are going to clash, as they all want to get equal play
NahhMean, yeah Rae I know what you mean!!!
Justin Hall hahahahah ya'll are funny!
Rza is more of an entrepreneur than a producer in my honest opinion. His beats were nice in the 90's, but fell off in the 2000's.
Yeah his beats were but the rza and method man r more valuable to wu tang than ghost and raekwon.as a matter of fact raekwon only did 4 songs on that first album completely by himself. the only built for Cuban links joint everybody is saying is so great and he had beef with rza about beats which is expected with a group that's been together so long but rza is the architect of the whole group and I think deserves a little more respect.
Yea, after that Wu 3 album, it was like, ok something is not right.
When his basement studio got flooded, that was it
When the doe gets low, the juice flow. When cats are not hungry anymore you get lazy beats and no energy. Some cats were hungry and waiting in line for they turn. I feel U god. Nigga got a point
Wu always dresses cool man. I want that beanie yo.
@J Dolo Yeah, I don't know about that fur ball on top but you never know when you might come across a beanie like that with the right color that you're going to feel compelled to buy.
Vlad saying “Yah” like he understands is comical. Typically he plays dumb, and acts like he doesn’t understand. Rae rocked this interview.
I remember this interview from years ago, I just never paid attention, it’s crazy seeing in the series that Raekwon and Ghost really didn’t rock with each other lol
Why did I always think ghostface and raekwon were brothers
Big up to New Brunswick NJ. And the to the chef for seeing there's talent in jersey
The chef one of the realest mc's ever!
Would love to see a Wu Tang Reunion Tour..
Raekwon and wu tang.....got mad love for him.....!!!! This dude allowed me and my team to do a few video`s for him and buddah.....much respect!
Put down the Kush and watch your mouth! Keyboard thug!
gmconly1 LOL LOL LOL!! wha'chu gonna do?? reach into the computer and touch him like dat? LOL!
You sound like a fucking Buffoon...STFU!
I love Shallah I’m naming my next born after him. I need my baby to be anointed like he is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is like six years early spoilers for the show lol
Mad props to the wu for sticking it out. All these guys went through an awful lot. They're brothers, ofcourse they will have disagreements, it's even commendable they get over it!!
The guy that put all of them in the spotlight was Method Man. Meth lyrical geniuses forced all of the Wu-tang to evolve. FACTS
This explains a lot I watched Wu-Tang an American saga, and I kept wondering how ghost and Rae would work together

"At the height of their fame and glory, they turned on one another, each struggling in vain for ultimate supremacy. In the passion and depth of their struggle the very art that had raised them to such Olympian heights was lost. Their techniques, vanished..."
I know they already squashed this, but I had to quote it. Please, dont let it be True! Learn from yall own shit too!
That's real, from the gza album to where they're at now, well said
That's crazy because every time I listen to Duel of the iron mic I always think the irony of the ending of that song in regards to the WU. This is why I love the internet because you always think you're the only one thinking certain things and usually you're not.
Mos def, that sample was almost prophetic, inspektah deck, ugod, and master killa all got burned on their albums with little wu support. But you're right, like minds thinking like things, it's 🍌.
Haha real shit
#DuelOfIronMic
Yeah son, I’m here right after I’ve been watching Wu Tang: An American Saga
I like his whole style, he stood out to me more.
RZA has that air about him of being on another level than everyone around him. Raekwon did great things, but intellectually, when it comes to vision, RZA doesn't compare.
Rae assembling is like no other . God broke the mold with that brother
its crazy how much we expect from the famous.
Yo I remember ghost mentioning his mamas crib gettin shot up on the only built for Cuban kind shit 🤦🏽♂️ crazy how the chemistry Rae & ghost have
mans was clear straight to the point and honest.
When I listen to the other clanmen talking bout RZA, they seem hurt by his actions. I think RZA sold out...and I really hate saying that. I love RZA, but I'm siding with right. RZA please, pay your clanmen what they are entitled to.
He called Maino a young N**** Maino was 40 years old when this interview came out!
Rza is an artistic genius but it's a shame how he shortchanged some of his Wu Tang Clan members.
Two hours into the convo: Let’s talk about your current project FIRST OF ALL!
hahahahaha
I Respect All of them bc Regardless of what they differences were they came together with they music. it’s Business
The Pioneer Frontier episode brought me back 2 this
I love this interview. Rae kept it 100
IDK if anybody has noticed this, but when hot groups break up it's usually from WITHIN not WITHOUT. The FBI didn't bust NWA up, they did it themselves. Third Bass, EPMD, etc. That HUNGER keeps you and your homies close, because you're starving TOGETHER. But as soon as that light comes, as soon as one group member is either the breakout star, like Cube. Or more popular than the others. Back in the day I read in an old Source interview with Erick Sermon on their breakup. He said it plain, "I was the personality of the group anyway". smh
WU just got older, disbanded, became rogue ronin - bicker about they bruthas
