Raekwon on RZA's Studio Flood, Wu-Tang Clan Losing 500 Beats

500 beats from that era?

That's the hip-hop equivalent of burning the Alexandria library...

yeah its a mad one, thats a madness, mad ting, that shits peak, rza must have been pissed, thats ffed, from that era too, jheez, thats fucked, 500 beats

Old wu stories are always dope

like how apparently Killah Priest was set to be the 9th member of wu but fell asleep while they were recording in the AM so they just told Masta Killa to hop on instead lmao

Or how rza's older bro divine and killa sin's older bro power both started wu off their drug money. And u-god was guaranteed a spot in the wu cuz he did dirt for them.

Or popa wu on forbez saying rae and power shot up ghostface house and shit. Rae and ghost stayed tryna murk eachother before rza chilled em out and put together wu.

Killah Priest also said he lost his original version of BIBLE in that flood and the one on Liquid Swords was a rewrite.

crazy shit, i would have liked to have heard the original bible & thats saying sumthin, the rewrote bible's a classic

saddest thing about the flood was they had inspectah decks debut album beats back then, all by rza and they were all gone and its a shame deck never had classic debut, dude was probably best of wu at straight spitting back then like his triumph and guillotine verses shows
