Wu-Tang Clan have been strong fixtures in hip hop for 20 years, experiencing the highs and the lows, the commercial and critical success, and through all this have remained a strong force in the game.
They discussed this in a recent interview on ThisIs50.com. “This is my foundation,” explained RZA. “If my brothers is ready to rock and roll, I’m ready to rock and roll. Music? Man. It’s magical, baby.”
“We reached the people, yo. I don’t care what nobody say,” offered Inspectah Deck. “A lot of motherfuckers’ll tell you Wu-Tang’s irrelevant, out of date, or whatever the case. I’m just more or less…the movement that’s behind us, is bigger than us now.”
Whoo Kid goes back on Thisis50 to talk about Big Pun. He explains how he cursed him on the phone thinking he was a promoter, then later Big Pun pulled a gun out on him.
Dj Whoo Kid stopped off at Thisis50, to talk about joining G Unit as the resident DJ, and his ‘love’ smack he received off 50 Cent. He recalls the amount of times 50 has sacked him from his position as his DJ too. Whoo Kid also talks about the time when Eminem and his camp wanted him killed…
“The first DJ got stabbed and left town, went to Tennessee or somewhere,” Whoo Kid said, describing how he became a part of G-Unit. “I think it was during that studio situation where the lights got cut off. It was a deejay that got stabbed. When 50’s mixtape came out, they had the tour schedule. They just needed a deejay but at that time, they weren’t interviewing anybody. The trust issue was crazy. So, I was put into G-Unit as the deejay.”
“It’s up to 48 [times being fired] now,” he said. “I don’t mind getting fired because I guess he’s so used to doing it so much that he gotta keep firing me. You could go on YouTube and see all the countries I got fired from.”
Whoo Kid then talks about 50 Cent smacking random people and himself.
“I didn’t want to fuck up with 50 on stage because during those days, he was ruthless. He was smacking everybody. He was smacking people per day. He was smacking everybody on the bus. If he had nothing to talk about or to do, he would smack random people on the bus. That’s why I stayed in the front with the fucking bus driver.”
“He loves me so it’s like a love smack. But the new niggas was gettin’ wrecked.”
On Eminem
“Along time ago, I leaked an Eminem joint by mistake and they wanted to kill me,” he shared.
