'I murdered everything I was on': Ghostface Killah shares details on the Wu-Tang Clan’s Once Upon a Time in Shaolin
I have to ask about this Wu album, Once Upon a Time in Shaolin. You heard it?
Not everything. I heard a few pieces of it.
And not everyone is going to hear it for 88 years?
That’s what they say.
What do you think of that?
I mean, it could be good and it could be bad. My first thing was like, no, give it to the people. What are you going to hold it for? Then I look at it, like 88 years, most of us is going to be gone by that time, but you know, I don’t know how the state will be in music at that time, but if it is going all right, maybe people, it might give Wu-Tang another burst in 80 years.
Does that give you immortality?
I guess we’ll be here forever. Wu-Tang really will be forever if it’s like that. … I couldn’t understand it at first, neither, and sometimes I still don’t understand, and sometimes I do. I’m stuck in the middle
What do think of the parts that you’ve heard?
I’ve only really heard the parts that I’m on. Musically, it was all right. … It’s like this, what I heard, I’m not saying it’s like the first Wu-Tang album, but as far as the beats that were circulating around at that time, it’s like that. ... The ones I rhymed on. And it was decent. It was real nice. I murdered everything I was on, you know what I mean?
