RZA Responds To Ghostface Killah's Comment Reguarding The Wu Album


RZA spoke to Pyro Radio about the Ghostface situation amongst a bunch of other things as well… but doesn’t address Ghost saying his production on the 8 Diagrams album was wack, which is probably because he hasn’t heard about that just yet. Many of us know about Ghost complaining about the release dates being too close between the two, and RZA says the situation with the Wu album coming so close to Ghost’s Big Dough Rehab occurred because only half of the Wu Tang crew even knew he was dropping a solo LP… basically it was miscommunication:

“…everybody's solo life, is their solo life, we all keep our solo life to ourselves, sometimes intentionally and sometimes unintentionally. If you asked Ghostface why most of Wu Tang never knew he wasn’t bringing out an album he wouldn't give you a good reason cause he'd be like ‘I thought they knew,’ because that's how Ghost is. If you call him a hundred times you aint gonna get to talk to him, he even says how Ol Dirty Bastard became Ol Dirty Bastard because of his name he feels like he became Ghost, his moms can't find him sometimes you know what I mean (laughs). But to cut a long story short the dates did collide and at one point Steve Rifkind as executive was like ‘yo I'm moving it.’ Ghost has to move his date because [Rifkind] felt that the solo members is never as important as the group."
"…so when Steve Rifkind got involved it got the point were the people in the building were making it a tug of war whether to move Ghostfaces record because the Wu Tang is a bigger campaign, so Ghost really got twist off about that, I mean really twist off to the point he went out and verbally expressed himself. So once he done that I didn't think it was a big deal we'll come December it aint a big deal we don't want it to be a problem, cause it's not a problem for us. The wise thing to do is that Ghost should have held his record till next year because he put out an album last year and it didn't really have the same kind of success it usually does so therefore you need to take a chill pill and get your stocks back up, get this ‘Guitar Gently Weeps’ video which is a big big thing for you and come back like "yo it's Ghost.”
