Raekwon Explains Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang

Saturday, February 20 2010 8:08 PM EST | Posted by: YN | Posted in: Blog, Newsstand Stan

Be clear: Wu Massacre is an appetizer to keep the W flag wavin’ high, but the Chef’s hard at work on his next main course. In a sitdown with EW, Shallah explains his upcoming solo LP’s musical direction.

What’s Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang?
Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang is another album that I promised the fans a long time ago. It’s not nothing derogatory towards Wu. It’s just that Shaolin [i.e., Staten Island] is the place, Wu-Tang is the crew that came from that place. It’s like me just going back to my history of being an emcee first, before I actually became part of Wu-Tang. I always give RZA that support as far as saying he brought Wu-Tang to the table. It was his philosophy. He picked certain dudes to be part of this group, and he said, “This is what it’s going to be called.” Before that, I was on the block. I was living in Shaolin. So this album just shows the street side of me, challenging the great side of Wu-Tang. Which is almost like how T.I. did T.I. vs. T.I.P. You’re going to get sounds that relate to Wu-Tang. You’re going to get sounds that relate to great Rae at his best s—, too. You’re going to get a lot of animation as far as the skits are concerned. It’s going to be a hot one. Everyone’s going to love that.

Pass me a plate.
