Rza said Rae's beef was all about the money. So when he made that sacrifice to pay Rae, did Rae just fall in line and do what Rza wanted him to? No, Rza had to go to Rae's studio, get him to understand his vision, and let Rae pick the tracks that he wanted to be on. So what does that mean? It means Rae didn't join in until he got more creative control over his contribution to the album, which is guess what, part of what he was saying he wanted all along. So Rza can claim that all Rae wanted was money, and you fools can believe that, but the facts of how shit went down according to Rza himself suggests that Rae wasn't lying when he said his beef was more than just money.
Oh and by the way, look through this thread. See how it's pretty much universally agreed that Rae was one of the strongest people on the album. See how the songs that Rae cosigned are the ones most praised. So yeah, this was Rza's vision and Rza definitely deserves praise, but that doesn't mean Rae's point didn't have merit.
