[Mimics RZA's mush-mouthed voice] "I bet them motherfuckers paid you and I motherfuckin' bet you we're gonna motherfuckin' pay you and we're gonna pay you to the motherfucking sky!" I said, "Yes, sir!" But, man, they cursed!
So the Wu paid you well?
Yes. I got several gold and platinum stuff from the Wu-Tang. They paid up for "Different Strokes" [used on "Shame on a Nigga"], and then said they wanted to do seven more songs. Paid me for seven more of mine, but I think they did more than seven! But they paid me good, so I ain't going to fight with them. They was really good. And so was Kid Rock [who also sampled "Different Strokes"]. Thanks to Kid Rock I got myself a brand new hybrid car, got my son a brand new hybrid car, got my granddaughter a brand new hybrid . . . Actually, she didn't get a hybrid, she got something else. It was all from Kid Rock. He sent me a trophy, showing 11 million platinum records sold. And I have to tell you about Cypress Hill...
