d Mellow upbeat music d

[Divine] That first album.

From that album
to Cuban Linx

to Liquid Swords
to Tical

to Ironman
to ODB's album.

First five albums,
we were inseparable.

The plan is going accordingly
to what we want.

Right now, we teaching
everybody in the world ,

all the babies in the world .

We in the suburbs now.

This goes to all y'all
young people out there, man.

- Yup.
- See, we gonna rise up

and be the new government
and be the true everything.

[Divine]
So the first five albums

gave everybody a chance
to reap the rewards

of being famous.

Raekwon became a superstar
from Cuban Linx.

[Raekwon] Raekwon album

is Only Built 4 Cuban Linx,
'cause it's only built

for people
that stand together.

You know what I'm saying?
Those are links.

[Divine] Ghost became
a star from Ironman.

This the joint right now
in the streets,

what's calling the shots
right now.

[Divine] Same thing
happened with the GZA.

[GZA] What...
[beatboxing]

Why did you name the new album
Liquid Swords?

It's called Liquid Swords
because the tongue

is symbolic to the sword ,

and words are like
water sometimes.

The wisdom is like water

because it can come
in many different currents.

[Divine] Method Man became

one of the biggest
solo artists in hip-hop.

d Of course it's the Method
Man from the Wu-Tang Clan d

[Divine] Think about it,
with Def Jam, we sold

over 2 million records.

Shit is platinum this week,
right, bro?

Yeah, shit went platinum
this week.

Shit went
motherfucking platinum !

What a tremendous
opening week for Meth.

- Oh, my God .
- Good job.

Don't thank me, man!
Thank you , man!

That's you .

We got the Ol' Dirty Bastard
in the house, from the Wu .

Got the solo joint out,

the Return of the 36 Chambers,
which is a hip-hop classic.

[Divine] Dirty was one
of the smartest

persons I know.

He just liked to
have fucking fun.

- [crowd cheering]
- [yelling]

I got my soul from this mo--
he used to beat

in the kitchen, drinking
with my mother, singing.

Got my brothers in there
with the wheelchair,

dying laughing,
you know what I mean?

He in there singing. . .
[vocalizes]

[vocalizing]

[Ghostface] Sometimes,
he'd walk out there,

won't say nothing.

ddd

[crowd cheering]

You know, people wanted
to see this wild motherfucker,

like, what is he gonna do next?

[woman] . . .John Leventhal .

I don't know how y'all see it,

but when it comes
to the children,

Wu-Tang is for the children;
we teach the children.

They say he stole
some sneakers out of a mall ,

but then in--
in the same paragraph,

he lifted a car
off a baby girl .

Dirty lifted the car
off of her like Superman.

What?

You saved a little girl's life
the other day, didn't you?

- Yes.
- [Howard] You did .

And he was stronger
than a speeding bullet.

[male reporter] ODB
was shot in the back

then robbed
while visiting a cousin

in this Bed-Stuy
apartment house.

Shot him one time,

and he took himself
to the hospital .

[inhales]
No, I think he went home first.

I think he forgot his good hat.

[Divine] And RZA,

he's producing every album.

He's a fucking iconic figure.

It just felt like
we had established ...

a new game.

And the game was...

be as successful
as you possibly can,

together.

d El Michels Affair's
"Protect Ya Neck" d

[distant traffic honking]

[Method Man]
Ready to talk right now.

Everybody, it's all one love.

Wu-Tang spreading love
across the world.

Peace to man, woman,
and child.

Peace to
the Gods and the Earths.

Five-Percent Nation.

[indistinct chatter]

[Divine] We were happy, man.

And I'm still happy
to this day.

d Mellow upbeat music d

When you know
everybody's getting money,

then there's no more fear.

[yelps]
[imitating Japanese]

- Like he took it.
- [camera shutter clicks]

[groans, imitates whooshing]

[laughs]

That's how I moved
my table, man.

Yo, yo, it's the scene
where people worship, man.

Oh, oh, word?

You're pissing on a shrine.

This shit is definitely
right, though.

We just worryin'.
N igga, yo. . . [laughs]

We fucking--we do
this life right here.

[Divine]
I can just see the joy.

There was no more
cops chasing us.

There was no more risk of...

being arrested.

[indistinct chatter]

That shit woke me
clean out my sleep.

[Divine] It was probably
the most... genuine love

I've ever seen with us
in Wu-Tang.

We was like, yo.

[indistinct chatter]

[all] Happy New Year!

[Method Man] Felt good
not to have to worry

about that monthly bill
and shit like that.

Everybody was running around,

doing crazy shit
that we never dreamed of.

The first--the first thing
that it had brought was--

It brought joy and opportunity.

- You gotta say that.
- Right.

Yeah, it felt like reparations
for all the bullshit

we had to go through,
and now Mama

can reap the benefits of having
me, you know what I mean?

It was like, it worked .
It worked .

It's like, yo, we really--

[indistinct talking]

[Raekwon] We didn't

Shout out to anybody

[Cappadonna] I never in
my wildest imagination thought

that I would be able to reach
any of these heights,

because I was locked up.

This is what we call
our cells right here.

This my cell right here.

Keep a little fresh flowers
around and all that.

[Cappadonna] After
I did that nine months,

like, at my mom's,
was totally

just on getting
my life together, personally.

Capp was, like,
my favorite emcee.

So when Capp came home,

I-I-I had a personal desire
to sign him .

We felt that Cappa
was just one of those dudes

that belonged with us.
And when he got out of jail ,

you know, I sent
the invitation out for him .

The dude come home from jail .

I give him a check
for a quarter million dollars.

My pens, that's the most
important thing to me right now.

This is my new pen
that I bought.

If you can see it--
it's got $1 00 all over it.

I'm putting in work, man,
you know what I mean?

My pen burns with desire.

I love my room ,

'cause food , shelter,
and clothing

is the basic necessities
in life.

And I got money too, yo.

Y'all wanna see some money?

[Steve] I remember Rae
and Ghost were sitting

in my office the night
before the album came out.

I said , "Tomorrow, all
our lives are gonna change."

Virgin Records had a store
on 45th and Broadway

underneath the BMG building.

I said , "Let's go see what
the line is like at the entrance."

[man] Wu-Tang Forever!

[Steve]
It went from 45th Street

all the way across 43th Street
to 6th Avenue,

up 6th Avenue,
back to 49th Street.

I mean, it was crazy,

We here to show y'all

here to show y'all the truth
about God

and devil ,
you know what I'm saying?

And show you
the truth about self.

Speaking Japanese

Welcome to Japan,
MTV Times.

You guys unite so well .

I mean, you know, you guys
got the great leader, RZA.

How you guys maintain
that kind of peace

in--in the group?

We might fuss, argue sometimes.

But, at the end of the day,

we know that together we stand ,
divided we fall .

- Mm .
- That's how I see it.

Word , word .

- Word up.
- Okay.

[man] They got me on this...

[Divine] Whatever I did

was the foundation
to create Wu-Tang.

They came to my house
to make the music.

Okay?
RZA 's my little brother.

So RZA 's like, "Okay,
I'ma make all the music.

You're gonna
run the business."

And I go start the company.

I remember I got
my first Macintosh.

And I was like, "What the fuck
do you do with a computer?"

And within a month or two,
I had QuickBooks in there,

Peachtree, which is all
basically a bunch of software

for accounting purposes,
because I'm managing the group.

And I eventually
just got good at it.

That nigga right there,
check it out.

He--he Mr. Spock and shit.

If this was Star Trek,
he'd be Spock.

"That's highly illogical ,
Captain."

He be trying to Vulcan mind-meld
motherfuckers and shit.

"Vulcan mind-meld ."

[Divine] Before I knew it, I was
reading all the contracts.

[Divine] I was negotiating
all the deals.

Seven, eight, nine, ten.

[Power]
Everybody's lives changed.

Everyone had a place to live.

Everyone had a set of wheels.

Wu-Tang Productions
started getting big.

We were just expanding
as a company.

We started the first business,
Wu-Tang Productions,

Wu-Tang Management,
Wu-Tang Publishing,

Wu-Tang Records,
Razor Sharp Records.

These are--every two years,

me and RZA
starting a new venture.

You know, we cross-pollinated
the music

with the fashion.

[Method Man] We used to sell
T-shirts at the shows,

and they was going so fast.
[snapping fingers]

Just this logo alone sells.

Like, man,
you put two and two together,

let's open up a store.

[Cappa] d Now it's my time d

d Asian Wu Wear,
Cappa fleece wear d

[man] Wu-Tang Clan is Wu Wear.
Wu Wear is Wu-Tang Clan.

Anytime, anywhere,
you know what I mean?

d The best of this year,
Wu Wear and fleece wear d

We didn't even know
if that shit was gonna work.

I started Wu Wear
from the mail order

on the back of Raekwon's album .

I want it to be in Macy's.

Music isn't the only industry

the Wu-Tang Clan
is making noise in.

It seems everything the group
touches turns to gold.

d I got this wine... d

[John] In its first year,

the Victory Boulevard store
grossed $5 million.

Now the clothing line
is all over the country,

with stores in Virginia,
Georgia, and California.

You can even find Wu Wear
in Macy's.

Our main moneymaker
was the music,

then the touring,
then the brand.

Probably one of our
biggest years was, like...

25 million, as a whole.

25, 30 million.

[man] So how's it like
going on tour

with a rock band , RZA?

- With a rock band?
- [man] Mm-hmm .

It's all good , man.

We rocking--we rocking
for the white boys

right there,
you know what I'm saying?

It's like, white boys
can enjoy hip-hop, can't they?

I think so.

[Divine] The Rage Against
the Machine is a big tour.

d Energetic rock music d

[John Norris] The one and only
Rage Against the Machine.

They're on tour
with Wu-Tang Clan

for the next couple of months.

Try and catch them.

I loved that fucking tour.

We were doing hood shows.

But when we started
doing them type of shows?

This shit became prestigious.
We was out there.

- [indistinct chatter]
- You know what I mean?

It's like, they crowd
more wild than in ours.

Our people tend to, like...

I disagree, 'cause I seen
my peoples that crazy too.

Hey, yo, ain't no color line

when it come
to doing this, man.

It's all the same thing

'cause we hitting 'em

Watch the cultures clash.

This is my brother right here.

[RZA] Wu-Tang Forever
was the first time

I saw blacks, whites,
Native Americans,

Latins, my Asian brothers.

I saw straight,
I saw gay brothers.

ddd

And I just had an epiphany.

The five human families,

the black, red , yellow,
brown, and white,

were all in one room ,

all rocking with us.

And so I'm like this,
I'm like, yo,

it's like in my--
it's--it's in my hand .

You know what I mean?
So I'm like this, yo.

These five families

and we gonna

'Cause I felt like
the Wu-Tang W

actually is a phoenix.

And I said , with these wings,
we gon' fly above

all the...

racism , the oppression,
the hatred .

We can rise above it.

[Inspectah] We was on

[Mook] People going crazy

It was beautiful.

But the Clan niggas
was feeling that

they should get more money
than 45,000 a night.

Rage getting all the money!

[Method Man]
I didn't want to go.

Because, for me, the
black audience was the core.

And I seen different guys
go over to the white audience

and never get to come back
and shit,

so I was a little scared .

[Mook]
Hey, fans are fans, man.

Don't give a fuck

That's why you platinum ,

[vocalizing]

- [ODB vocalizing]
- Turn the mic up!

[Inspectah] Hot 97
at that time...

Representing all
the flavors of hip-hop!

[Inspectah] ...they want us
to do Summer Jam.

d I'm the god

d Dirty Dog,
I'm from the Wu-Tang squad d

They never told me that we was
doing Summer Jam that year.

So it wasn't on our program.

We already booked.

d Wu-Tang, Wu-Tang,
Wu-Tang, Wu-Tang d

ddd

Hold on.

The deal was,
as far as I remember...

d intense ambient music d

"You gotta come back and do
this Hot 97 Summer Jam

or we're not gonna play
any more of your records

on our station."

Hot 97 is the second
most popular

radio station in New York.

It's a big business,

and getting airplay
is competitive.

And we found
that the same artists

are played
over and over again.

Hot 97 style
bringing it through.

We come out of our pocket,

get our own tickets, fly back.

Summer Jam , it's on.

[indistinct talking]

Tell him we have the God hours.

You ain't serious about this
right here,

don't come out there with me.

d Funky upbeat music d

[Mook] We get to
the Summer Jam.

Puffy's on stage, him and--
I think it was him and Mase.

I mean, we can see 20, 000
motherfuckers in the stands.

Hot 97, back in the day,
they didn't pay the artist.

Ghost is so pissed .

But it was just like,
yo, man, what happened?

We ain't never do nothing
to y'all.

And I was upset at that.

[indistinct talking]

So we get on stage,
unga bunga,

you know,
the Clan get on stage.

Ghost sets it off.

And I went up there

and cursed
every-fucking-body out.

"I want everybody
in this motherfucker to say. . ."

[feedback whines]

"'Fuck Hot 97! "'

ddd

Fuck Hot 97.

Fuck Hot 97--
fuck these motherfuckers.

Ah-da-da-da, ah-da-da-da-da,
in front of all these people.

I'm looking at him like,

I know this motherfucker
didn't just

say "fuck Hot 97"
at they show.

ddd

The crowd said , "Fuck Hot 97!

Fuck Hot 97!
Fuck. . ."

"Fuck Hot 97! "
[laughs]

Like, that's how we all felt,
too, at that time.

I'm trying to tell
these niggas to calm down.

And then we got banned
from Hot 97.

They didn't play our records
for, like, the next 1 0 years.

Us not being involved

while they playing
the Biggie shit

and they playing the Nas shit

and everybody that was
rocking with us at that time,

that affected our sales.

That affected our--
our touring.

That affected everything.
That affected our presence.

You know,
New York sets the trend .

What New York does,

all the other
major markets play.

Other sister stations followed

because they were
a top 40 station.

Well , what do you say

when, you know,

somebody says "fuck Hot 97"
in front of 30,000 people?

Oh, and Wu-Tang?
For-never.

d Soft dramatic music d

Now everybody wants to go home.

I didn't want to leave
that Rage tour.

Bros is like, yo, man,
we gonna just do this shit

or we gonna not go

on the Rage
Against the Machine shit?

We gonna stop this shit.

"I ain't going back
on the tour.

Fuck that.
Blah, blah, blah, blah."

Come here
and just walk this dog in,

keep it strictly business.

Certain brothers
wanted to keep continuing.

I said . . .
Let us just complete this shit.

Maybe I should've
stayed home for a while.

[U-God] And the next
little wave of tours,

it would--
would've upped our price.

That's all we had to do,
is finish what we had to do.

So he walked off
the fucking tour.

And that caused
everything to collapse.

What year was that?
Was it '97?

[man]
Yeah, something like that.

Yeah, man, I think I might've
took a trip to Africa, man.

I left.

Fuck that!
I don't wanna rap!

Bitch, I wanna talk!

[cheers and applause]

Word is bond .

Fuck that.

Fuck that!
Fuck that!

Fuck! That! Shit!

[voice echoing] Fuck that!
What, what, what, what, what?

[RZA] '97 was a real--
I say a difficult year

for Wu-Tang,
you know what I mean?

A real painful year.

We had that tour with
Rage Against the Machine,

which was a big tour for us
and a big experience for us,

you know what I'm saying?

And--and--and some things
at home was gnawing at us,

you know, gnawing at your door.

It's like, you out on the road ,

it's like going to the war,
I guess, in the army.

And you out there trying
to, you know, fight for freedom

and defend your country,
but back at home,

you losing--you losing
what you fighting for.

Somebody wife
could be pregnant.

Somebody baby
could be sick.

Somebody-- somebody
brother could be in jail.

Somebody cousin could get shot.

The things that's happening
in the streets,

between us nine, it's gonna
happen to one of us.

Real life is still
right there at our door.

You know what I'm saying?
We ain't really escape it.

And it brings us
right back to--

To, you know,
everyday stress.

This is Park H ill Avenue
for those that don't know, man.

My man Kase,
who was brutally slain

by the po-9, the cops did it,
we know what happened .

[RZA] Rest in peace
to Kase and 2 Cent.

Yo.

[Gano] Ernest Sayon,
also known as "Kase, "

was very close
with Method Man.

[Method Man] The police
used excessive force

to the point
where they murdered my man.

They didn't kill him.
They murdered him.

It could've happened to me.

Ernest Sayon, "Kase,"
he could've been

your mother,
he could've been your father,

your little brother, your son,

your daughter, anybody
that you cared about.

At that time, it was
very volatile in Park H ill .

'Cause you got cops out here
killing us,

and it looks like
they're gonna get away with it.

Angry residents in
the drug-infested neighborhood

where Ernest Sayon died
in police custody say

there is a pattern of police
brutality in the precinct.

A video shows cops

repeatedly hitting
a man in handcuffs.

[Rudy] Last night,
several channels played

a tape of an arrest
sometime before the Sayon,

uh, incident, the murder--
the, uh, the death.

[girl speaks indistinctly]

To quickly analyze it
as a racial thing

I think does
a terrible disservice.

[indistinct shouting]

[Gano] When Ernest Sayon died,

there were people
that saw what happened .

- They just beat him to death.
- [man] You saw this?

Yeah, I seen this
with my own two eyes.

It's not like he tried to

refuse arrest
or anything like that.

The man didn't even know--
he didn't have a chance

to even know
what was going on.

When he tried
to gasp for some air,

they kept banging his head .

He took his gun out his holster

and started banging him
in the back of his head .

I was standing right there.

[Gano] It was a media circus
out there

for two weeks straight.

New revelations
on Staten Island tonight...

[man] This was a center
of drug activity.

- Is that a reason--
- This is not a nice guy.

What do you
mean he's not a nice guy?

- You don't know him .
- And did you know that--

[stammers] two of the cops who
were involved here were black?

I know that makes
no difference to you .

- No-no-no, when--when--
- Makes a difference to me.

[Gano] There was
a police officer

named Donald Brown.

Officer Brown was someone

who wasn't particularly liked
in the neighborhood .

Nearly everyone
we talked to here

knows or has heard
of Officer Brown.

They say he was never

liked or respected
in this neighborhood .

He would harass little kids,

like this size,
little bitty kids

out here playing on their bike,
doing nothing.

Then they gonna say, well ,
it couldn't be racist because

it was a black cop
who killed a black man.

Of course it's racist.

A black cop couldn't
beat down a white man

with the presence of other
white cops helping along, okay?

Only reason Ernest died
because he is a black man,

and I'm tired
of this going on,

and I'm not gonna stand
for it no more.

[Gano] Let me tell you
something.

If Officer Brown
gets away with this,

which he's not--
I don't think he's--

It's gonna be some shit
breaking out,

you know what I'm saying?

It's gonna start
from right here,

from where the brother
lost his life at.

You know what I'm saying?
That's it.

[echoing]
That's it...

[U-God] I was in California,

you know what I'm saying,
when the situation happened.

Back there, building 21 8,
my son right there, he was hit

in the hand and in the kidney,
you know what I'm saying,

with, um , I think it was
a 9-millimeter caliber.

[sighs] He had staples
and all type of things.

Man, it was just,

know what I'm saying,
it was horrible, man.

I still got stress, man,
know what I'm saying?

Motherfucking Dante...

Why you say a bad word , Daddy?

[laughs]

'Cause that's how I feel , man.

I feel . . . [stammers]
saying bad words, man.

Why?
Why, why, why?

'Cause I'm aggravated .
I'm stressed .

- I'm stressing.
- You not--

You not stressed .

I mean, I'm stressed .

[laughs]
A'ight.

You know, we are God's people,

'cause we are gods.

You know, I look at it
like this, man,

we gods...

and if you see yourself
as being God ,

you see yourself
as being the most high.

That means you treat yourself
and you treat others

at the most high.

You honor your brother,
you honor your family,

you're always at the most high.

So I look at everybody
as being God

or devil .

See how that goes?

You can be black
and you can be devil too.

[Divine] U nderstand ,
and build or destroy.

That's right.
Tell 'em how you understood ...

[chuckles]

How I built it
and how it was destroyed .

So now that I know,
I can build it again.

- That's right.
- You see,

every kingdom
will rise and fall ,

but God kingdom is forever.

[indistinct chatter]
- [Divine] Forever.

I didn't realize

how much success
I have achieved

until 1 997, '98,

and I looked back,
and it was like, "Damn...

I've sold
over 30 million records."

d Ambient music d

The Wu-Tang Forever project
was a success

like a motherfucker.

ddd

I don't know what happened .

[man] You gotta have an idea
of what happened .

Oh, okay, I can
tell you what happened .

Egos.

Brothers started getting egos,
and--me too.

It was like, "Yo,
I'm doing these fucking deals.

I don't want to hear
that shit you talking about."

[Method Man]
It wasn't the same.

It was a bunch of solo artists
trying to be a group again,

and the hunger
wasn't there anymore.

It was just a job.

[Divine]
"I want to do my album now!"

No, you gotta help
your brother finish his album

because all of us
helped you do yours,

now you have to
follow the protocol

and help us do his.

[U-God]
I couldn't get nothing done.

My dudes is out there eating,
doing their thing.

We couldn't get shit done
for me.

So, yeah, right,
I had fucking goddamn

problems with that shit.

[female reporter]
Rap star Russell Jones,

otherwise known
as "Ol' Dirty Bastard, "

and his cousin
were pulled over

in Brownsville, Brooklyn,

by plainclothes
anti-crime cops.

Police say after a chase,

Jones rolled down
his tinted window

and opened fire on them.

I gave him a cell phone
for Christmas.

And they thought it was a gun.

Come on.

And the cop just shot at him .

But they didn't know
I was on the phone

with him the whole time.

[man] So you're on the phone
with him while he's driving?

- Yes, the whole time.
- The whole time.

He said , "Mommy.
They're shooting at me."

I said , "Don't you stop."

I said , "Go back
straight to the precinct.

And go in."

Mm .

The cops said you had a gun.
Did you have a gun?

No, I didn't have no gun.
I don't use guns.

[female reporter]
Jones was charged

with attempted murder
ofpolice officers.

The alleged gun
was never recovered.

During his arraignment
last week,

it was implied
the only thing in Jones' hand

was a cell phone.

[indistinct chatter]

[man speaks indistinctly]
All right.

[camera shutters clicking]

As you're all aware,
a Kings County grand jury

voted yesterday to exonerate
Russell Jones

of all wrongdoing
in relation to an incident

alleged to have taken place
on January 1 5th, 1 999.

Clearly, the incident did not
take place as reported

by members of the New York City
Police Department.

Of course I'm gonna file
a lawsuit.

As much money as I can get,
I'm gonna get it.

Hell , yeah.
Yeah, of course.

Scared like a motherfucker.

I'm sorry, Ma.
I'm sorry.

I'm just upset, man.
You get--you know...

This is my beautiful mama
right here.

You know, that's why
I was saying pardon,

because Ma don't like me cursing.

She gonna get me
when I get home.

- [woman] What's your name?
- Cherry, Cherry Jones.

[man] What's it like
as a mother

to see all this going on?

Well , I'm used to it.

I'm used to it by now.

[Icelene] He'djust
come back in town.

And usually when he come back
in town from performing,

he would have a lot of money.

He went to sleep--well , he was

laying in the bed ,
taking a rest.

And some guys came up in there
and robbed him

and shot him ,
right in the bed .

Everything sort of changed .

It slowed him down
a little bit,

'cause he was shot
and then he was real paranoid .

[male reporter]
Jones was charged with

breaking a new state law
which makes it illegal

for convicted felons like him
to wear body armor.

Jones was arrested last month
wearing a bulletproof vest

and could land
rapping in prison

for the next three years.

He is--
as many famous people are--

He is at risk for his life.

d Dramatic music d

[Icelene]
The judge put him in jail

for a good while after that.

Like, you throw
the book at him.

I didn't understand
why he was in jail for it.

He was paranoid and scared.

He didn't trust
anything or anybody.

Did we lose two upstairs?

Yeah, ready?
You ready?

[woman] Guys, let's go.

ddd

[RZA] I always
tried to explain this

to anybody, whether
it's Divine or Steve Rifkind

or Power,

anybody that took
the executive seat.

One thing
they will never understand

is what it is
to be an artist.

But since I am a artist,
I know the feeling.

And so when a man come to me
and he's like,

"Yo, I want to do this, "
and I'm stopping you?

I'm stopping you
from your dreams?

Shit, that's--that's
the last thing I could do.

And I think that when people
start wondering

what happened to Wu-Tang
and this, that,

we kept going, of course,

kept recording new albums,

but yet kept growing apart.

ddd

[Mook] Lot of artists,
when they start

learning more and more,
they want all their shit

to go through
their own company now.

You know, "I don't want to
deal with Wu-Tang Productions

no more, I want to deal
directly with the label."

[RZA] These brothers
come to me saying,

"Yo, I want out
of the contract.

I want to do my own thing. "
Of course.

Yo, this ain't
no slavery here.

You know what I mean,
you my brother, yo.

Divine?

Fuck that, he didn't
want to let nobody out

because it was too much money.

I said ,
"I ain't giving shit back."

And RZA was like,
"Give all their rights back.

Let them all go out
of their contracts."

[Mook] RZA, like, it's
too much fucking headaches.

[RZA] Even ifyou don't
let 'em out,

you'll never have 'em.

I know that.

[Divine]
My brother is wiser than me

in that sense.

[cheers and applause]

All right, Rae, here.

Okay, Meth.

Okay, Ghost, here--
oh, no.

Go, y'all go ahead .

I interviewed Divine and RZA

and they talked about,
at a certain point,

they said , "Okay,
you guys are free to go."

No.

- [man] Okay.
- No.

We had to--you know,
you had to fight for that.

It wasn't like yo, you can--
you can leave.

No, you had to fight
for that.

[Inspectah] And that shit
in itself was a nightmare,

trying to get out
of the Wu-Tang contract.

I had to go to court
with my brother.

[laughs] You know,
and sit across the table

with these lawyers
and all types of dumb shit.

But, you know, eventually,
I got out that situation.

Everybody signed away,
then, right?

So Method Man is free.

Ghostface is free.

Cappadonna, U-God,
Inspectah Deck,

Raekwon the Chef,
Masta Killa,

GZA.

All free agents away
to do what they want

and don't have to put Wu-Tang
Production on it no more.

But the last person

who was still signed ,
'cause he was in jail ,

at the time, was ODB.

You know what I mean?

And he asked for a release.

And that was the only time
I didn't want to do it.

to see transparency for?"

It's not personal , baby.

This is business.

And you lose trust.

That's why I can't
fuck with y'all , God .

'Cause of this same shit, God.

- H i .
- H i .

[ODB] Know what I'm saying,
why you think everybody

broke the fuck out, God?

'Cause you're always--

Got something--
[stammers]

When I got to that point

where these dudes
wanted to sprout off,

I didn't understand why.

That's my brother.
I love him .

I'm not kicking no dirt on him
or stuff like that, but...

see, people forget that love

is the highest elevation
of understanding.

Love is the highest elevation
of understanding.

That's what love is.

I remember
we ain't had shit, God .

We had
a fucking beatbox, God,

and a little
echo chamber, God.

And I remember who was there.

It was me and RZA and you.

That's all it was.
It was us three, God .

It wasn't no fucking Wu-Tang.

Where is this coming from?
Like, we don't--

We're not cheating you .
We're not hurting you .

Like, why would you want to get
off a fucking beautiful ship?

We grew out of that situation.

We became, you know,
more aware.

Why the fuck
I'm still signed up

and all these niggas
all gone, God?

The fuck, I look like
a pussy or something, God?

The stay-over then, God?

And everybody did
they thing, God?

That shit don't
sound right, God.

It's not you , Divine,
it's RZA!

RZA ain't
on fucking point, God .

That's all his.

I say, I love you , 'Vine.
Come here, nigga, I love you .

No, Ghost,
it ain't about the love.

Put your love
in your back pocket.

This is business.

You know what, 'Vine?
Thank you for that.

That was--
that was a jewel you gave me.

Put your love
in your back pocket, man,

and this is business.

Cool .
This is business.

Let me see
where the paperwork at.

Divine, look, man,
all I'm asking you

as my cousin, man, to just

nip it all in the bud
and just

take care of it
real quick, Divine,

'cause they won't give me
no cash or nothing

until this is taken care of.

I didn't get this far. . .
to fight.

And I don't love money
more than I love my family.

All right, peace.

ddd

[woman] Family's family,
you know?

Thank you . Thank you .

- [woman] We your family.
- That's right.

Love each other,
we was--

Wasn't like we was cousins,
we was brothers and sisters.

Right.

So whatever happened ,
people have problems.

- [Ramsey] Yeah.
- You go through things.

- Go through things, yeah.
- [Cherry] Mm-hmm .

You go through things,
but you still be family.

You know what I'm saying?
That's how we grew up.

Family is family, you know?

- [woman] Yes, family's family.
- Mm-hmm .

He's my cousin,

close as my brother.

Big Ra!

It's like, come on, Dirty,

it's me and him
from the beginning.

Come on, baby, pump it up!

'Cause we got something
loud for you now, come on!

- Yo, I got it, I got it.
- Give it to me.

Give it to me!
[laughs]

To think
that that common energy

is gone
and replaced by money...

Love makes it hurt.

But love also
gives you the chance to

give them the space
to make their own mistakes.

And I was like, yeah,

there's nothing I could
say about it.

[mutters] I was like,
yeah, so...

Yeah, I let him go.

Where's Dirt McGirt?
Come here.

U m ...

- What's up, man?
- Jarred .

- You Jarred?
- Yeah.

- All right.
- What's your name?

- You know my name?
- Oh, you're RZA?

Oh, damn.
Good to finally meet you .

All right.

[indistinct talking]

- You're a lot taller than I . . .
- H uh?

You're a lot taller than...

[man] Can't fly to any other
country from Europe.

All good .

I don't think it was
no real better for him ,

'cause the only thing changes was
that they got out their contracts.

RZA 's still doing his beats.

Even though they left,
they didn't--

They didn't go nowhere.

[indistinct chatter]

[woman] Little machismo.

[indistinct chatter]

Where did my name come from?

The RZA.

The RZA saw in me...

how I grew up in life,
crazy struggles.

Know what I'm saying,
RZA taught me everything

I know, by the way, you know,

and he was
one of them brothers

that saw everything in me.

[RZA] As a kid,
only one had lyrics was me.

I would write all the lyrics

and have Dirty say 'em
and I'll say 'em.

And always some sex shit,
you know what I mean?

d Ambient music d

Dolce and Gabbana,
let me stick this banana

up your fanna,
hyper on Hennessy,

makes me call it Bruce Banner,
rocking it raw.

I used to snatch
this bitch's door knockers.

Now I roll with the Roc-A.
My chain is the jaw-dropper.

Tell me
what you want me to write.

- See-through like panties.
- Mm-hmm .

[mutters indistinctly]

- [hip-hop beat playing]
- Multilayered deep dish cake.

- That's your--
- I don't know what that is.

Multilayered , nigga,

Where the pussy--

Mm-hmm .

ddd

- Believe me.
- All right, come on, now.

- Multi . . .
- Layered . Layered .

- Deep dish cake.
- I don't like that.

Why not?
Multilayer deep dish--

Multilayered deep dish cake?

That don't make no sense to me.

It make sense
to anybody here?

A multilayered deep dish cake?

[man] Yeah,
multilayered deep dish cake.

What is that?

[man] It's a cake
with many layers.

And then you gotta
put it in a deep pan

to bake it,
that's what it is.

[RZA] So that's like
a good pussy, right?

A multilayered deep dish cake.

Can't wait for my tongue
just to penetrate.

Seize this great

cabernet, chardonnay,

got me intoxicate.

- Surely no doubt.
- Baby.

[together] As we lay.

Got me banging like
a triple-X matinee.

All right, just--
just help me and shit.

[RZA] It's me and him.

That's the foundation.

We're the first two.

We're the dream itself.

- Let me try it.
- [RZA] Okay.

We're the late night,
laying in the bed,

looking at the stars.

It's us,

before anybody.

ddd

[speaking indistinctly]

[Ushery] Good evening.

ODB, whose real name
is Russell Jones,

was one of hip-hop's
most successful

yet troubled rappers.

Tonight, he collapsed and died

at his recording studio
in Manhattan

just two days shy
of his birthday.

I was home at the house.

And the girl called me
screaming, talking about,

"Dirty's on the floor.
He's not breathing."

I said--I was screaming
back at them ,

"Why don't somebody
call an ambulance?"

Nobody called an ambulance.

He was on the floor
when I got there.

Yeah, I couldn't--
I didn't go there.

I just picked him up
and put him in my arms.

And I apologized
to my mother too.

I picked him up.

And , um , but--the--

The--the police said ,

um , "This moment
could be for Miss Jones."

That was me.

And I went in there,
and they--all of them .

And then they told--
oh, she didn't shed a tear.

So the anger
was building up anyway.

Because I-I--
give me a moment

with my child ,
please, you know.

'Cause I didn't want to
see my brother like that.

I couldn't face
seeing my brother dead .

- I had to.
- I couldn't, like--

- I had to talk to him .
- And he wasn't there.

But they showed me
where he died .

I talked to him .

I laid on the floor.
It was me and , uh...

- [both] Ghost.
- Ghost.

And Ghost was, um , just...

- [Cherry] Mm-hmm .
- He was just gone.

It's like, yo,
that's your brother, man.

It's like, yeah, man.

Ol' Dirty Bastard
is a unique person, you know?

So anything that I do,
it's gonna be unique.

He was so confident.

He--he brought the confidence
to us

in another level , because

he wanted niggas to know
that, yo,

this is something special
going on right here.

And--and--and when you--
when you--when I think about,

us taking off,

he gave us that hope,
he told us.

When we was feeling like,
yo, we doubting it,

he'd stand right in front
of your face and look at you ,

give you one of
the illest looks,

and be like, "Motherfucker.

We the illest shit
in the fucking world ."

And--and--and for some reason,
I believed him .

You know?

And it--and it's just like,
yo, wow, like,

shit, I heard Dirt
say some shit like, yo,

"Wu-Tang won't be shit
if it wasn't for me."

[laughter]

He right.
That's his truth.

Word .
That's his truth. He right.

- Know what I mean?
- Hold on. Where you get that from?

You got a power cypher.
Give me a power cypher.

[ODB] Every time
you ask me for some

fucking goddamn money,
I give it to your punk ass.

You owe me too.

- [ODB] Oh, shit.
- [laughter]

Wild dude.

He was definitely
the most fearless rapper

I ever came across.

Especially on that stage, man.

He was gonna make sure
everybody in that bitch knew

Wu-Tang was there
and we was the best

motherfuckers
to ever fucking do it.

He seen it.

It's like, yo, he's important.

It's like we all important
and shit.

But just for that energy,
just to be gone...

That's why I tell brothers,
man, I love you , man.

Know what I mean?
Regardless of what.

- That shit hurt me.
- [Inspectah] Mm , yeah.

He made it exciting,
though, man.

He definitely made it more fun.

I tell y'all one thing,
put his album on...

- [U-God] Fun with that nigga.
- And blast that shit.

[GZA]
Yo, yo, I was listening to it.

That shit--that shit--
yo, G.

- Fire.
- What's that? What's that?

Return to the 36 Chambers.

- N igga. You'll be laughing. . .
- Hell , yeah.

- That shit is hard .
- It got beats.

- It got bangers, yeah.
- That shit is hard .

It's a very entertaining
album , yo.

Rest in peace to the Dirt Dog.

Yeah, so Dirty Bastard is the
baddest emcee in the industry.

And there's nobody
badder than me.

Nobody could never touch me
with a 10-foot pole.

Ifyou--ifyou can,
then you better come, kid.

[man] You said
you didn't cry when he passed?

No, I didn't.
Mm-mm , no.

U m , because I know
I'm gonna see him again.

I cried while Rusty lived ,

because I didn't know
where he was,

what he was doing.

I worried .

So I ain't have to worry
anymore.
