I’m going to leave this here. “PURPLE TAPE”
Y'all got to consider inspectah deck lost his first hole solo album when Reza had a flood in his spot he was deeply hurt by that that album must have been absolutely fire 1 floppy disk that got messed up due to the flood oh, that's why I always try to make copies of my shit right off the top and throw them in a fire safe that way if something gets fucked up I got back up extra! Would have loved to hear the raw essence of respect the deck first solo joint
Only Built For Cuban Linx is the best album in hip hop history… just my opinion‼️??♀️?????????????????
Almost like wutang was just a stepping stone for the members to do their solo projects eventually anyway.
''we were child stars'- Rae
He's right deck u god and masta killa suffered BC of it
We need a Wu Tang movie asap!!!
I'm sure they all knew what he is mentioning but you know how the "Divide and Conquer" concept works. It's power in numbers, which than you unite and takeover that's what WU has.
I love raekwon but he had alot to do with the clan fucking up because for whatever reason he always thought he was the leader
That title is true. EVERYBODY wanted to shine too fucking quick.
“Togetherly”. New invented by Raekwon.
the second i saw a wu solo album bk in the day despite them being classics i was like yo this is the beginning of the fall of the wu!
real talk..they diluted the wu and then seperated themselves yet their strength lied in their brotherhood..
Rae got a point. Once you start cutting up the work snd stretching it out in an effort to make more money, it wont hit the same in the long run. #chefproblems
Wutang forever
Jewels!!!!!

It’d be pretty much impossible to have 9 people in a group and keep everybody happy. Even if they decided as a group not to go solo, the more popular members would see how much money they could be making by doing their own thing.
Meth took his skills of rhyme and acting and used it to build his own brand and he did that and still screamed wu so he didn't play none of y'all and truth be told a lot of cats in the wu had bad work ethics …no
I think they should have made at least 3 to 5 straight Wu albums before doing solos. That might would have built a better foundation as a group and focus on brand development.
Raekwon-Cuban Linx/ immortality. Method man- Tical: Ol' dirty Bastard- return to the 36 chambers: The Gza- Liquid Swords: Ghost Face killah-iron man: all of Ghost Face killah albums: Ghost face killah and Raekwon- Bullet proof wallets: all their solo albums are successful solo albums: Method man-Tical 2000: judgement day: The Rza-Bobby Digital: with Domestic violence that's my shit: I played that song when I got mad at my ex-girlfriend
I feel like they went solo to early
Man those solo joints were fire
Maybe do the solos after two group albums woulda been good
NAH FUCK THAT. WE WOULD HAVE NEVER HAD MASTERPIECES LIKE "ONLY BUILT FOR CUBAN LINX" AND "IRONMAN".
Too much talent in one group they should have dropped 10 albums from Jump he right ..
But those solos was needed too
Subscribe to my channel plz
Perfectly spoken
Everybody got lazy except rae and ghost
This man Rae's beanie hangin on by a thread
Solo careers haven't hurt anyone else.
That's an excuse for not being ABLE and thats weak cause I like WU
It was the others like killa army, priest etc… They got the freshest rza beats but hadn't paid dues… Luv killa priest project but still, the wu needed the push.
Totally understand what he’s saying but basically all the albums from 36 chambers to Wu-Tang forever was wu albums because everybody was on it.
Maybe they could of marketed the albums something like “wu-tang clan the 9th chamber – Ghostface Killah Ironman. Something along those lines with all the solo albums give each member a chamber for their album along with their album names.
So it still would of been under the wu name and gave them their own individuality.
Also I feel like they rushed the wu tang forever album and that hurt the brand. They should of put every solo member album out then came out with the wu-tang forever album.
Because you would of had the chance to hear them from 36 chambers as a group in 1993, like yoo who are these dudes with all these different styles.
Then u would of had a chance to hear all 10 members solo albums individually, see and hear their individuality. Then come back with the wu tang forever album just to hear how they grew and remember how good they are collectively

When its time to shoot, shoot Bah! But not being a slinger!…. I get that
Iron Man, Supreme Clientele, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, Liquid Swords, Return To The 36 Chambers (the dirty version), Tical: Judgement Day, Bobby Digital: In Stereo. He's sorta right…
