People News. Wu-Tang, Trouble In Paradise?
People News. Wu-Tang, Trouble In Paradise?: News like this is heartbreaking. Apparently, The Wu may be headed for a breakup. Well, it's more like the clan's most enjoyable member is thinking about leaving the group. As reported by MTV and Pitchfork, Ghost is quite disgruntled, because the group's latest album, 8 Diagrams is set to drop the same day as his solo LP, Big Dough Rehab. I don't know, it sounds like a win-win, but Starks is a bit heated. Here are some choice quotes from the man himself (courtesy MTV):
"I'm not [mad at] all the members. It's not based on the members, but the hierarchy at Wu-Tang Clan is on some bullsh--. They trying to f--- around and make me push my album back and doing all this. But n---as ain't f---ing around or give us money when we did them Wu-Tang tours. The first one, they paid us after a while, but this last one, n---as is holding onto a lot of money. And [they're] upset based on that. It's a battle right now." Geez. Here's what he had to say about 8 Diagrams: "I got on some of them [tracks]. A few of them.... n---as better pay my f----ing money. Matter of fact, they can keep the money-- just get me out of their life right now. They can keep that money, it's all good now. I don't even wanna talk about it no more." With that quote, Ghostface just ended my childhood. *UPDATE* RZA has pushed back the release - YES!
