Rev. William Burke Homeless!

[Kanha]

Hey fellow wucorpers.

Homie Burke going through rough times right now. He's in a unsure situation with 36 chambers records and got evicted from his home in South Chicago the other day.
Practically homeless and career on hold, he don't seem to feel good at all. This is off course very unfortunate.

If the wucorp wants to help, there are possibilities to fund him. It won't solve his problems, but it will ease a little bit. Just to help the man get on his feet again:

sad news. I hope Burke sees better days soon

[Jet Set]

Damn, that's fucked up. How did it get this far?

No Django checks coming in? All jokes aside this is messed up in many ways. As much as I respect RZA for his music, his history with artists he brings under his wing is not good for his resume. Not saying he is completely at fault. So I will just stop there since we will never know all complete details as to what is said behind the scenes. Peace

Lets not go i to rza too hard

Hes asking oprah for 2 million for verses she did and ti fjnance a movie. Apparently theyre family and because shes a billionaire he would like a cut lol. She said no and was taken back by his asks.

apprently per burkes ig she gave him 250k ti start his business. So He was linked to both oprah and r kelly before rza

anything rza did for himself, he gave burke. Burke was on every rza project for 10 years. He got full videos. He went on promo tours with rza and math. Rza promoted him as first song after premier vs rza.

just rza himself is nto gonna do more for yoh as far as promo and marketing than he is himself. Rza succeeds from spreading his name through multiple avenues like books, scores, acting, directing, producing tv, ad placements which he blows wu members away with, … and hes a legendary hop hop artist

doesnt seem like the label does much but attach his name to their stuff. Idk who behind the scenes at 36 maybe vine? Idk but i can see it bith ways.

he seems a lil warcloud ish here with his wild demands. Almost killing the guy from MASTODON didnt help either.

It is pretty hard to read.

Just tried looking up Burks. But found out he had like 3-4 different spellings for his name. That shit is the worst if you are trying to get off the ground.

Don’t forget lil ‘ church too. Often times with multiple r added to church.

The tendency for fans to point at rza when something goes wrong is played out.
They are all grown men responsible for themselves.

yea well said. listen if its a bad deal than dont sign or agree to it. if dont understand than hire professional someone neutral in relationship to both parties .

I mean yeah Burke is a grown man responsible for his own sh!t but I just feel like this happens often. Do we know if RZA pays out what is deserved. I’m 50/50 on it and can go back n forth with it as far as who to blame. Burke should go the Dom P route at this point cuz no point in waiting around for a RZA album. And borderline related to the topic, let’s not forget Poetic basically called RZA a snake when on his deathbed. Peace

You're right. RZA isn't to blame here. Sad, though, especially in these high inflation times.

Yes, he's a good artist who is poorly supported. He could've put his music on YouTube but I'm sure his contract wouldn't allow that.

Classic song.
