If pizza fueled his body, Raekwon’s creativity was fed by his neighborhood where he hung out with RZA, Method Man, Ghostface and the rest of the giants who would make up the Wu-Tang Clan. And they have literally been there for about at least 50 years … They know me very well.” Learning valuable life lessons Like, I sat down to slices in the building with gangsters and all that, but the pizza is so good. We New Yorkers, so you know, we eat that every day … it’s owned by real Italians. Ask Raekwon for a restaurant recommendation and he gives the most Staten Island answer ever: a pizzeria, specifically Brother’s Pizzeria on South Avenue. And they are Shaolin through and through. Until he and the rest of the Wu-Tang Clan came on the scene, the borough was largely underrepresented in rap. The two had similarities: Raekwon is one of the genre’s greatest lyricists and he helped put his home turf on the map. You know, like I said, man, we got a lot of respect for Big and just him representing Brooklyn to the fullest man.”

Like, is this where rap is going?’ You know, so that’s something we’ll never forget. “Broke my heart … It was like, ‘How? Wow. Both he and Ghost were devastated when they learned that their new friendship was over before it began. “We actually got a chance to apologize and get on the same page with him and talk about working together the day before he got killed,” Raekwon told me. On “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx” Raekwon’s first solo album, which also featured Ghostface Killah, the pair essentially insinuated that Biggie copied Nas’ album cover, which naturally caused bad blood in the hyper-competitive New York City hip-hop scene when it debuted in 1995. was gunned down in Los Angeles in 1997, my “ Renaissance Man” guest had a powwow with the great Brooklyn rapper over a beef that lingered between them.

Though melancholy reminiscences like “Can It Be All So Simple,” “C.R.E.A.M.,” and “Tearz” made a trilogy of evocative narratives, the Wu provided few easy inroads to their mythology and poetry. Wu-Tang emerged as a nine-member crew in the post-MTV age of small cliques, a mix of styles and voices that eventually carried more than a few solo careers: The violent beat poetry of Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, and Inspectah Deck the drunken sing-to-scream ping-pong of Ol’ Dirty Bastard the $5 words and scientific flows of GZA and Masta Killa the boisterous coaching of RZA the gritty rasp of U-God and the fame-ready slick talk of Method Man, who was already getting a star turn on his eponymous track. Emerging from New York City’s most underrepresented borough-the literal island of Staten-here was a sound that, by nature or nurture, existed in its own raw, unapologetic bubble: corroded soul breaks, snatches of dialogue and sound effects from arcane turn-of-the-’70s Hong Kong kung fu flicks, distended keyboard lines, tape noises, snaps, and stutters. Dre’s lush, lowrider-ready grooves were Terminator 2, then the scratchy, bloody, distorted productions of RZA on their debut album were Reservoir Dogs. In 1993, the Wu-Tang Clan were a grim, grimy, grindhouse alternative to G-funk’s baroque gangsta cinema: If Dr.
