More on Ghostface vs. Wu
All is not well with the Clan. MTV’s Mixtape Monday has an interesting interview with Ghost where he claims that he had secured December 4 as the date for his new album, Big Dough Rehab, long before 8 Diagrams was scheduled for that day. He’s also tight about not being paid for recent appearances with the Clan and even claims that Loud principal Steve Rifkind made phone calls to try and get his solo project shelved.

that’d be pretty funny. it’d be like putting the final nails into the coffin of the group.

Ghost said he’s frustrated because his album would have been finished by now had he not chosen to be loyal and go on tour with the Clan over the summer as part of the Rock the Bells ticket with Rage Against the Machine. He even claimed Steve Rifkin, who signed the group to Loud and is releasing their latest album, put calls in to execs in hopes of stopping Ghost’s album from seeing the light of day. (Inquiries made to Rifkin’s office had not been returned as of press time.) In the meantime, Ghost is moving ahead with his album. The first single, “Celebrate” — featuring Kid Capri and produced by Sean C. — should be leaking soon, he said. Others set to contribute to The Big Dough Rehab are Scram Jones, Raekwon and Method Man.
***So if he’s cool with Meth and Rae, all that can be left as consideration for the Wu “hierarchy” is RZA, right?

***Remember that scene in the Show (or was it Rhyme and Reason), where he confronted Meth about hogging the spotlight? That was upwards of 12 yrs ago…

Im a Wu fan and looking foward to 8 Diagrams, but when you think about the past 2 Wu albums dropped and how Ghost continues dropping good albums
Ghost album > Wu albums

the dec 4th date probably makes sense… 8 Diagrams was being touted to drop on the anniv of ODB’s death in november for the longest. some of that other stuff is wild.
October 15th, 2007 at 10:37 am
I hope that this doesn’t end badly
but Ghost has been the main person out of the wu keeping them relevant.
October 15th, 2007 at 10:46 am
DAMN SON!!! This is terrible news for WU diehards, such as myself…the WU hierarchy is pretty much RZA and his brother, Power…this is fucked up!!!! I have dreaded the day that it would come to this…
Expected sales (proof that this whole thing is retarded!)
WU - 428,000
Ghost - 286,000

no doubt Ghost is the best of the clan at crafting albums…this was probably the last Wu album anyway…still lots to hear from from GZA and Rae at least…
