Tidbits From The Wu-Tang Clan Manual

In the end, the most important value you take away from crime movies and from mafia tales is loyalty. You gotta have your team. The idea of family, the code of honor, we live by that. Even to this day, we live by that. This is why when someone gets on the radio and says something, everybody gets involved, everybody's gotta check in.

I'm definitely looking forward to doing something serious in Hollywood, like directing a major motion picture. I'd show some of the urban culture, from a real person who lived it. Seeing how much time and money people in Hollywood waste making movies, I know I could do the whole film-and it'd be a good film-for what they'd budget for just the music. In hip-hop, I learned to work fast and efficiently.

When I first started producing, the only person I knew doing the kind of bugged-out sampling I was into was Prince Paul-him and maybe a few other guys. I still think that first De La Soul album, 3 Feet High and Rising, is a masterpiece. Paul and I have been friends since 1988. He even programmed the hi-hats on my first single on Tommy Boy.

The most basic economic lesson you get doing music is your first show as a group. Do a show, get a hundred bucks, split it down to ten dollars apiece. That puts things in perspective.

The contract we signed with Loud in 1993 changed the way hip-hop artists negotiate, the way deals are structured; it changed the whole rap game. But in reality, some of the deals I made were stupid. They're famous now because they worked.

I've managed the business side and I've managed the creative side and, in the end, I got to say the creative side is better for you. The business is bullshit. People who are up in those offices all day, they're not doing shit. It really doesn't take all that superstructure to go ahead and make money.

They Say: Commentary From Artists, Professors, Media & Fans

You really think they shot each other to sell more records!? [...] 50 Cent is not sellin records because somebody got shot in the ass... At the time, he had the number 1, number 4 and number 5 record in the country! That's never been done before! He's sellin' records because he's makin monster joints. I'm sure [Kevin Reed aka] 'Peanut' has been well compensated. They bought him a nice cushion... Everything is all good.
