Ghostface Killah recently spoke out about how he felt that he isn’t getting his fair share of the cake from the Clan’s stint on the recent Rock the Bells summer tour. In addition, the Clan’s ‘8 Diagrams’ LP was pushed back from a tentative fall release date to December 4, the same day as Ghost’s solo effort, ‘The Big Dough Rehab’. He pointed the finger at the Clan’s “hierarchy,” and we all know who that is.
The RZA had this to say… “The blame can’t fall on me like that,” he said about the dueling release dates. “Wu-Tang Clan is a bunch of brothers working on one common cause. ... We planned to put that record out in September, then October, and it kept getting pushed because it’s just a lot of work, yo. ... I wasn’t really conscious [Ghost] was dropping an album on December 4th, but yesterday we moved our [group] record from the 4th to the 11th. We gave that spot to Ghostface … because of how he felt. ... I had to make that call. [SRC label head] Steve Rifkind also, he was getting bashed up by Ghost…So…we moved.
“We didn’t have him move, we moved,” RZA continued. “I think that shows the kind of bigger men we could be. Ghost is my brother, [I] love him to death. But we’re in this business, and it’s hard to kind of discern what’s right and what’s wrong. ... But I will say that, when it comes to a Wu-Tang Clan album, I plan on making it a 60-, 90-day type of schedule. ... It turned out to be a 200-day schedule … and I didn’t want to wait until next year [to put out 8 Diagrams].
“But Ghostface, we moved it to the 11th. You got that 4th. Do your thing right then, double up [the] next week, make mad cream this year, family.”

DAMN FIRST 2 TIMES WHOOOO YAHHHHHHHHHHH
loser
THATS REAL NIGGA SHIT. HIM AND GHOST WAS BROTHERS THEY WENT TO AFRICA AND EVERYTHING. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN CRAZY FOR THEM TO HAVE BEEF.
can't wait, i'll buy both albums, "Wu-tang clan ain't nuthin to fuck wit"
COSIGN i knew the best were going to resolve this... shows you the difference between real and fake.
Finally, shows the Wu love !
The Wu-Tang-Clan Ain't Nuttin' To Fuck with !
I think it would be kind of cool to see a Ghost Face and WU album on the same day. It might generate a lot of buzz and do a Kanye VS. 50 Cent friendly rivaly thing. Or it might work well as a WU month if Only Built comes out the same month.

Thats whats really fuckin good.
The Wu are a staple of what a true Hip Hop conglomerate is..brothers before businessmen...Thats why the Wu is probably the best Crew of MCs to grace the earth..and thats word.
actions speak louder than words, and thats how a man acts instead of just running his mouth.
Good to see RZA is the bigger man
