RZA Talks on the Current State of Wu-Tang
Wu-Tang Clan’s front man RZA spoke with NME in an interview about the much-publicized “opposition” from various Wu members during the producing of their first project in more than ten years.
He discusses reports of a total breakdown of communications between him and Raekwon during work on Wu-Tang’s new album ‘A Better Tomorrow‘, three years after it was first talked up by Raekwon, and seven years after the group’s last output, ‘8 Diagrams’.
“There was a lot of opposition within the Wu-Tang circle to doing the album… I’ll level with you, the chemistry’s not all that good right now,” RZA said. “We’ve all done this long enough to know this process isn’t just like, you make an album, then that’s that. It’s like a presidential campaign. You don’t just make the policies then sit back. You create your platform, then you gotta take it to out to the people…It’s like there’s an energy in the group that stops people enjoying their own success. They gotta sabotage it.”
