Ghostface Airs out His Beef w/ Wu Tang

by KRUSH DALLAS

TUESDAY OCTOBER 16, 2007

You’d think it was all good in the Shaolin since their long awaited album, The 8 Diagrams finally has a set release date. However, contrary to popular belief, it’s not. Ghostface Killah, a well established member of the group has been voicing his opinion about the way things have been going. One of Ghost’s major gripes is that the album release date is the same as his next solo album, The Big Dough Rehab. He claims that he had that date already secured, however problems with the 8 Diagrams resulted in it being released on the same day. And according to Ghost, he’s not budging at all.

“I had December 4 for the longest,” he said. “But the Wu album, brothers was kinda late on doing whatever they were doing and pushed it back … on my date. You can put this in there, 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 bullshit. They trying to fuck around and make me push my album back and doing all this. But niggas ain’t fucking 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, niggas is holding onto a lot of money. And [they’re] upset based on that. It’s a battle right now.” Ghost did not say which of the Wu members are the “hierarchy.”

“The Big Dough Rehab is my album,” he continued. “8 Diagrams is their album. But it ain’t got nothing to do with the regular members. ‘Cause I love Raekwon, Masta Killa, U-God, Genius, all them. But it’s on right now.” Ghost claims that his frustration stems from the fact that his album would have been completed by now if he wouldn’t have gone on the Rock the Bells tour with Rage Against the Machine over the summer. He also said that Steve Rifkin, who signed the group to Loud and is also releasing their latest album, put calls in to execs in hopes of stopping Ghost’s album from seeing the light of day. In spite of the issues, Ghost intends to move along with his album. The album’s first single, “Celebrate” — which features Kid Capri and is produced by Sean C. — should be leaked soon, he said. Scram Jones, Raekwon and Method Man are among the other artists set to contribute to the album.

Ghost is also set to release a book titled, “The World According to Pretty Toney,” on December 4. The book (which is based on MTV2 skits) will feature Ghost giving his particular brand of advice on topics varying from gambling to education.

“I got on some of them,” he said. “A few of them. ... Niggas better pay my fucking 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.” ...

bullshit. They're purposely copying Kanye and 50. Too bad it won't work since these guys aren't popular. Not saying they ain't good since they're one of the best, but they ain't popular like how Lupe said MC Hammer is more popular than ATCQ.

first person is always suspect dog. plus you cant really say any of them is at a hierarchy than one another, if anything i hope its management or the label, but if you want to accuse a member of the shaolin its clear as day it cant be anyone EXCEPT rae
