Yo, you putting me with Meth, nigga? With Meth?

- Yeah. - Why?

[whispering] Yo, we all gotta do promo, all right?

Fuck that, nigga. You know all this nigga do is talk.

You should ask us about this shit.

It's already decided, all right?

DENNIS: I'ma watch you

in your little video when it drop, right?

- Yeah? - Mm-hmm.

All right. This was fun.

Yeah, no doubt.

I'ma see you in New York or...

Yeah, of course.

Am I gonna see you?

- Yeah. - [chuckles]

You my Venus. I told you that.

- Just remember I told you that. - [laughs]

Right. Right.

All right, well, be safe.

All right. Later.

[indistinct chatter]

Hey, yo.

I've been peeping you after, like, every show, a'ight?

What? You squeezing the promoters off on the side?

That's what you doing?

You say something?

Hey, don't fucking play with me, son, come on.

Why wouldn't I ask for more money

if they selling extra tickets?

Yeah, but what you doing? You holding us hostage?

Like we not gonna go to the stage

unless you get more CREAM-- that's what it is?

They always seem to come up with the money.

Yeah, but is Wu seeing any of it?

There is no money unless I go and get it, all right?

It's not coming out of your pocket

or anybody else's either.

You the scheming-ass motherfucker from before.

All fucking day. Don't you ever forget about it.

And you can thank my scheming ways for that Jesus piece.

We all gotta eat.

Yo, it ain't even like--

it ain't even like I'm mad at the hustle.

Know what I mean? I just don't like niggas

trying to do shit and be slick about it.

Doing shit without you knowing and shit like that.

You know what I'm saying?

I'm not asking your permission

for some shit that directly affects your pockets, son.

Word. Word.

You know what I'm saying, son?

Yeah. Nah, I feel you.

We'll talk about this shit tomorrow.

- Yeah, son. - [grunts]

DJ: We're sitting here with the one and only Method Man

of the Wu-Tang clan live in studio.

Welcome to Charleston, Mr. Meth.

Why didn't you go with the others?

[scoffs] What's the use?

Meth sit there and suck up

all the fucking oxygen out the room.

Nobody else can get a word in edgewise when he around.

METH: Well, you know,

there's a bunch of talented artists this year.

You think you could take me somewhere with a gift shop,

somewhere down there?

I think I'm gonna get something for my little man.

- Please? - [scoffs]

I can't move this bus an inch

without the okay from management.

Come on, Grandma, I'm just going down the street.

Rules are rules.

Fuck the rules.

[sighs]

This some bullshit, man. Check this shit out.

Grandma D, where RZA at?

Yo, what's wrong?

U-God shit on the bus!

Oh, goddamn.

Oh, it's worse than when Frampton sacrificed the rabbit.

Are you serious?

Oh! [laughs] You almost had me there.

- Yo, what's good? - We got bigger problems, cuz.

Yo, look, the journalist's article came out, yo.

It's some bullshit.

- Yo, what the fuck? - [scoffs]

"The RZA blames the lack of decent education in the South

for his grandfather's troubles"?

"A proper education isn't an op--"

Yo, I didn't even fucking say this shit, yo.

Yo, this motherfucker switched up my fucking words, yo.

I told you not to fuck with him, yo.

Yo, what the fuck?

What the fuck?

[thunder rumbling]

BOBBY: Yo, all I told the man was Grandpa's story.

I wasn't shitting on the South...

at all.

- I know. - [scoffs]

But that's the thing with reporters, god.

You can't always control what they write.

You think it's about coincidence

that this shit comes out

right when we about to hit the Southern leg of our tour?

Don't believe in coincidences.

Beef sells.

Yeah.

It's the chef right now.

It's the chef! It's the chef, son!

Nah, nah, nigga. You know I like all of that.

I like all of that.

- Hold on. Hold on. - Run that shit back, son.

That's what I been saying, cuz. [indistinct chatter]

- DIRTY: Double up! - Now you talking crazy, son.

Yo, yo, yo, get in on this, man. Get your money out, son.

- This is all I got. - You got 30 minutes.

Come on, I don't want to hear that righteous shit.

- Come on, have some fun. - Yo, who the shooter, god?

You the shooter. Take this shit.

I put the whole show on this shit.

Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.

- Sixes. Sixes. - Sixes?

He said sixes. Nah. Nah.

No way in hell, son. No way in hell, son. No way.

- Oh! - I'm back, baby.

That's my shit.

That's my CREAM. That's my CREAM.

I can't hear you, Rae. I can't hear you, Rae.

DIRTY: Gets nothing, son.

What the fuck is wrong with him?

[indistinct chatter]

[sighs]

This, uh...

this local paper picked up on the story.

Think it's gonna be a problem?

I don't know.

Shit, maybe.

Word.

What's good with you?

Son, when did Killa

become an official member of the Clan, son?

I thought there was eight members of the group.

Well, who said anything about him

being a member of the group?

We breaking him off like he part of the group, son.

There's nine equal stacks every time.

Killa my man. He can roll up. He can drink.

He can do whatever he want to do, son.

I'm cool.

But when it come to my money,

you gonna have to talk to me first, son.

We all doing equal work, right?

Equal? Word. Word. Equal.

So why you got the whole back area, son?

Know what I mean? Why not Meth? Why not Dirty?

Why you make all the decisions, son? Equal?

Hey.

[sighs]

All right.

How about this?

Let's take this to the guys.

Let's see what they got to say, huh?

- Let's talk to 'em. - Yeah, let's talk to 'em.

DIVINE: Charleston thanks you.

DIRTY: Ooh-whee! BOBBY: Hey, yo.

DIRTY: That's what I'm talking about.

BOBBY: Hey, yo, watch out.

Yo, uhm don't touch that. We got to--we got to talk.

DIRTY: Don't touch what?

So, uh, we need to discuss

how this money's gonna be split up.

If anyone has a problem, say that shit now.

Hey, RZA, what's the issue?

Oh, uh, ask Rae.

My problem is simple.

We cutting the cake nine ways, right?

Last I checked, there was eight members in this crew.

- Wow. - No disrespect and all that,

but it's a little unclear who's in the group.

So I think if Killa's traveling with us,

he should get paid.

You know what I'm saying? But that's just me.

RAEKWON: I mean, the same amount, though, son?

Killa's only on one song.

U-God's only on two songs. He's in the group, isn't he?

For sure.

I mean, now that you bring that up--

Oh, okay, so it's like that, son?

It's like that? RAEKWON: I'm just saying.

- You know what I mean? - Stepped into some shit now.

Yo, yo, yo. We all equal, god. Word.

But you got a gold album. Know what I'm saying?

Meth about to go double platinum any day now, son.

Don't bring me in this shit, son.

I'm saying, shouldn't they get more?

They bring in the crowd.

The fans are coming here to see them.

[indistinct chatter]

So you talking about a tier system, god.

- RZA, you good with that? - Nah, nigga.

Yo, look, I be doing a lot for y'all, all right? So...

RAEKWON: Right, a lot.

We signed that contract and everything,

gave you control and shit,

but we ain't give you control of our food.

All right.

So maybe, uh, we handle this as a group.

Who's in the group?

'Cause we keep coming back to the main question.

- [dice clacking] - Should we roll for it?

Hey, yo, stop playing. nigga.

Yo, stop telling me what to do, son.

Yo, this whole conversation is stupid, son,

Yeah, of course you don't give a fuck, nigga.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means you got other ways to make money, right?

So what? What's stopping you from doing the same?

Even Mook out here getting money.

So what? You knew about that shit?

Whoa, whoa, all y'all know

about Mook taking our shit, son?

Shit crazy.

Hey, yo, y'all bugging the fuck out, for real.

But, you know, I don't got-- I don't got a solo album yet,

so I'm chilling.

Go make one, son. Fuck you talking to me for?

With what fucking beats?

RZA did your whole album and yours too.

You can get beats from anywhere, son.

Rest of us just stuck here waiting around.

They got record deals with release dates.

Of course I'm handling them first.

Why don't I have a deal, then?

Yo, can we just smoke some weed and move the fuck on?

This nigga's always fucking talking, son.

Yo, you coming at me?

Yeah, you don't care 'cause you know you good.

Shit, maybe I should get paid more,

just to listen to your bullshit.

Nigga, I was the only one with an album before Wu.

- So? - And?

- Seniority trumps, right? - [scoffs]

Hmm.

GZA: Look, that's not what I'm saying, god.

What I'm saying is with y'all logic,

I should be getting paid more than all y'all, then.

That ain't my logic. That's Rae's shit.

Yo, the hell is a tier system anyway?

We talking about getting paid from bars?

'Cause I'm on all the songs. Name one hit song I'm not on.

Yo, son, I was never talking about a tier system, son.

- Shit. - My point remains.

Is there nine members, or is there eight members?

Yo, check it out, son.

All this back-and-forth shit started 'cause of me.

But you know what? I don't give a fuck, nigga.

I'm a G-O-D. How about that?

[scoffs] Shit.

Yo, that little interview you gave

got the crowd going rowdy.

You all better bring the fucking ruckus tonight.

You on in 30.

[crowd shouting outside]

What the fuck is going on here?

You're on in 30, all right? Don't fuck this money up.

[glass shattering]

[indistinct shouting]

[crowd booing]

[indistinct chatter]

PERSON: Bring your sorry asses of the bus!

- ALL: Oh! - Shit.

Yo, yo, chill. [indistinct shouting]

Come on, drive, drive! Let's go. What the fuck?

Y'all really fucking lucky, son.

Hey, yo, drive. Drive. Drive. We good. We good.

- Get out of here. - What's up?

- This is crazy, yo. - Hey, yo,

all things considered, sons, we had a good show.

What the fuck you talking about, nigga?

- We was all over the place. - Exactly.

Wu stands for "witty unpredictable," yo.

They ain't know whether we was gonna

throw our hands in the air

or throw our hands at each other.

Whether they was going lift up their shirt

to show they Glocks or their titties, yo.

[laughter]

Yo, ain't nobody showing no titties, son.

Nah, son. You missing it and shit.

There was some shorties on the left and shit, son.

Had them. No, you seeing them, right?

Word up, god. They make 'em thick in the South.

Word, yo.

Hey, yo, shit is way more fun when it is out of control, son.

That's all I'm saying.

Your whole fucking "Chessboxin" verse

was out of control, brother, like, for real.

I couldn't understand a fucking word you were saying.

'Cause he be forgetting the words every time, son.

Every time.

That's 'cause it's not about the words, son.

It's about the feeling.

I was feeling like you

was about to have a heart attack onstage,

- how you was spazzing out. - Ha-ha!

About to give you CPR, son.

Yo. [laughter]

GZA: I'ma show you a few things.

Get 'em with the Shaolin style.

Come on. Pay attention, yo, okay?
