So basically they are acting out this drug deal and all these people are mentioned. In the skit it’s a drug deal gone bad. He asks me, “Do you know Don Rodriguez from the Bronx? Your man Don is down at the precinct singing like a fucking soprano!” and when he said that he grabbed me by the throat and was screaming it at me! And I was like “Do you believe him?” [choked voice]. We were all just ad-libbing. It was a little scary at the time because I was surrounded by all these guys—Killah Priest, Masta Killa—and I didn’t know them too well. Masta Killa had a reputation for beating people up at the time, especially journalists. There was a friend of mine who had written an article on Wu Tang in Rap Pages and Masta Killa didn’t like the drawing that went along with it. So the next time he saw him, he kind of punched him out. I’m in the middle of all these guys and RZA’s grabbing me by the throat!
Half the people you don’t know who they are. You know the main people, but then who are all these other people? People are smoking blunts, smoking dust. People have weapons out, long sharp knives, big scissors that you cut bushes with. It was just crazy. But it was totally interesting. Being a fly on the wall in a situation like that is amazing because now you realize some twenty years later these were all classic albums being made and I was right there. I wish I had a video camera, I could have gotten some really cool stuff, but I’ll always remember that time. I mean, RZA grabbing me by the throat…
Say Hello to Mr. Greico
