Video: Raekwon on Joe Budden (July 17th)
“Number one homie — nobody ain’t worried about nothing, man,” Rae told us on July 17. “Everybody knows this is hip-hop hop. Keep it hip-hop. Nobody wants to throw their lives or their careers away for somebody who’s not really near our legacy of what we built. [Budden] could never crush any buildings. He knows that. As far as Slaughterhouse — I know them, they are true-blue friends. This is a Joe Budden and Method Man altercation. Deck got involved, that’s these three’s altercation. For me, the Wu is not even thinking about it on that level — this is not that kinda party. Number one, it doesn’t even match up.“I already know what it is, because Joe Budden looked me in my face and apologized. As a man, I look a nigga in his eyes and make sure you being genuine. I guess he feels that he has no beef with me. As far as Wu-Tang, we’re not like how we used to be back then, as far as, like, jump up and do something negative. Cats caught cases like that. Nobody wanna be going through cases, get lawsuits and whatever. You can’t sacrifice when you got children. If they gonna keep it on wax, MC to MC, if that’s what they want to do, then take six paces and draw. As far as anything else, I feel nobody is a threat over there to me. I got Royce the 5′9″ calling me everyday trying to calm everything down.”
Check out Shaheem’s detailed recap of the whole beef over at MTV.

BH, so no more lust for Pinky? Now your new boo is Nicki? Make up your mind you little fuckin’ Jabberwockie..
August 10th, 2009 at 4:13 pm
Seriously though…It might ignite the internet fanboys, but in the grand scheme of things going against Wu-Tang would be career suicide for the dudes in Slaughterhouse. Most of their fans are Wu fans too…don’t make them choose because the choice would be easy.
August 10th, 2009 at 4:14 pm
Wu fans

in NY Wu cats do shows for $10 and no one will even go. Meth and Red included.

August 10th, 2009 at 4:17 pm
Could of fooled me Beezy…the Wu fans were thick [ll] at RTB on Saturday. They sell out any show they throw out here in San Diego.
August 10th, 2009 at 4:17 pm
Pinky gained a bunch of weight.
She fell off.
LMAO@ RJ praising Fantasia then turning around and then shitting on Lauren Hill…FOH

the RZA & some other random Killah Bee or something was in SA a few months ago.
Small venue, but sold out show.
& RZA aint had an album since… I don’t even know.
I know there are plenty of Wu fans here.
August 10th, 2009 at 4:28 pm
This niggas as delusional and Bi Polar as Game. Nigga Wu’s classic, Wu’s on that Level. Meth is On That level nigga, Rza, Production wise on that level. Rae hasnt done anything relevant in years, The purple tape was classic, no doubt,but the nigga is not as legendary as his big ass ego and weed carriers keep tellin him.
August 10th, 2009 at 4:29 pm
Dre he said ‘We trying to calm everything down’ not royce calling him trying to calm things down on some bitch shit
August 10th, 2009 at 4:33 pm
Honestly, Wu gets respect for what they’ve achieved.. but what Rae did was sheer pussy. He went in 6 deep against buddens and .. mickey factz (no shots). So Rae seeing the situation as a real street dude knows that slaughterhouse isn’t there, and he can shoot Joe the one if that’s how he felt…..BUT that doesn’t happen, the biggest fuck in the crew starts it off and nothing else happens?? Who was holding them dudes back from whoopin Joe’s ass?
“Rae: Yea shunnn, you got em’… you got em’…… in the eye.. we good, we out !!”
..sheer pussy

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
92/05 Wu you would be right, but most these niggas fell the fuck off. Rae’s a soft ass nigga surroundin dude with 6 niggas, jumpin in a beef thats already been squashed just for some promotion for his new album.
INS threw out that diss track for promo of the wu compilation album. Meth had Blackout 2 out and the Nigga said ZERO.
August 10th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
Joe Budden been beefing too much to get record sales. It was about time.
Saigon, Jay Z, Ransom
Jay Z - too big of an icon to respond
Saigon- he calmed down beefin (after Prodigy)
Ransom- no name like him tryin to be famous with Joe Budden
Wutang = legends . Slaugther House ??? We’ll see
August 10th, 2009 at 4:49 pm
LOL @ “RAEKOWN”
SMH MTV played you RAE!!!
August 10th, 2009 at 6:36 pm
fuck this fat pussy piece of shit……….
1 good album is not a career.
when maino aired out the whole wu-tang u was quiet as a bitch.
August 10th, 2009 at 7:17 pm
Dre he said ‘We trying to calm everything down’ not royce calling him trying to calm things down on some bitch shit
^^ co-sign, Dre needs to get his transcription skills up, Raekwon clearly said “I got Royce the 5′9 calling me every day ME AND HIM trying to calm things down”
Dre f**ked that transcription all up. He left off the sentence about Meth (Tical) at the end of the first paragraph too.
