I have worked off and on with Wu-Tang Clan,it's members,and many of the "family" members for years now since 1991.Over the years there has been "beef's" between members of Wu and others,many of which have been squashed.I hate reading the interviews and hearing the stories...it was great to see so many of the "family" back together on the tour and getting along.People are going to have their differences and some people will feel shafted in business deals.Thats the way life is, believe me.....when the artists have problems with each other over what is said in interviews, etc...they handle it and usually everything is peace again.
I want to point out something about this board....there is a reason that many of the artists don't come on here. In ways it's the same reason many new fans of Wu leave this board after only a few posts. People get dissed all the time in here, there have been so many negative posts about many of the artists that their attitude is "fuck Wu-corp".I feel it's sad to hear that especially since this is the "Official Wu-Tang website".A few of the members of Wu have told me stories about how they got dissed when they did try to participate on the board,they wonder why this is an "official" site when they are treated like this....in what is THEIR house.
I hate seeing all the stupid childish fighting in here all the time. I'm not expecting everyone to love and agree on what wu or the family artists do or release, but if you want them to be part of this board, and you bitch about why they don't participate....maybee this will help you understand why they don't.
I've personally gotten mad over some of the shit that gets posted on here about the artists, or how many of the posts are negative. The fact that many "newbies" to the board are dissed instead of welcomed and educated,it feels sometimes like some treat this board as an exclusive club. I've seen many times that people get dissed over the facts of not knowing certain information about this or that,and the whole "stan/dickrider" shit thats always coming up.There are other times that people are posting idiotic shit just to cause drama on here, and people feed into it.
All the artists are going to do what they do, the past is the past...they aren't going back to the old styles,beats or whatever for the most part. Either you support them or you don't, but when many of the artists could care less if this site is here anymore says something.
My point is, this isnt a positive experience for some of the artists and some fans of Wu that have found the site.I talked to many fans during the tour that don't want to participate on here cause of the way they were treated, or the constant fighting on here.
I want to bring up another point, many have dissed MySpace, if you don't like it then thats your choice and I respect that.The artists aren't really putting anything out through there,it's another tool to spread the message of Wu.It gives us the ability to reach thousands of potential fans that may never have heard of wu-corp.Many of those people aren't "hardcore" Wu fans, but does it make them any less a Wu fan if they like the music and go buy it ? I mean in a few weeks Meth's page has had almost 14,000 people added to it ,it's at almost 20,000 people.One bulletin post from his page goes to all of those people....it's a free tool that we are exploiting.There have been dozens of messages from people who first heard of Wu through the music playing on a friends page on MySpace.
I'm not really sure where I'm going with everything right now,...it's mostly a few points that I wanted to bring up with all the shit that has been aired in here recently.
I want to thank everyone for the love and support.It was good to meet some of you out on the tour.
As for all the racial shit...... I think my qoute below sums that all up
One, "G"
