RZA & Cappadonna explain the tiered pay scale that Wu-Tang uses. - Hudba
Rza is such a humble dude it's unreal that part when he said about I don't want to take two pieces of pie when there's only eight pieces. That means someone else has to get a half a piece that was some real s*** right there. The love he has for his crew is unreal. Granted they made him a lot of money but still he's got mad love for his homies. A real dude right there
Rza is the true definition of selflessness
Cash
Ruins
Everything
Around
Me
Exactly.
best comment. Funny/Ironic seeing in fruition almost 20 years later for them.
@Austere Greynoize you should talk
Greed stems from money.....
We make it all about a bill yawwwww!!
Awwww!!
Awwww!!
Awwwww!!
Yeahhhhh....
You don’t lying my brotha
How he took all these young kids to create the best group in music is so crazy especially knowing where they came from is unbelievable
When you have that many members The Business aspect is always the hardest part to deal with. Everybody wants there piece of the pie
As they should
As a whole they should all be equal. If I go to a Wu show or buy a Wu album, I want them all there.
Rip ODB.
Tre Napier Nah Rza should get the most, he produces and writes verses
Kick in the Door RZA doesnt even produce that often these days (probably bc his recent beats arent up to standards like in the mid 90’s), mathematics does way more recently
Niek887 Yeah nowadays, true. They make more money with solo albums
Tre Napier nah g more put in work they get more
Gfk
Deep respect to RZA
@Beeblebrox One Method Man called him up while in jail and ODB was very touched. Seems like Meth was there for him.
Real Factruth still one of the greatest producers of all time lol what else really matters? Deep respect to RZA
Real Factruth you don’t know anything about their personal life either. You can’t just say someone is a bad person because of rumors, you don’t know the whole story and neither do I.
@Real Factruth calm your tits bruh
Damn RZA only person in hip hop to deny Dr. Dre beats lol.
Darnell Jackson fuck Dre
NY NY no
Darnell Jackson of course he a New York producer LoL
RZA is vegan and Dr.Dre beats have leather in them sooo makes sense
Eric DeVito Wu Tang is NOT G Funk
A tiered pay scale system is such bullshit. That shit makes me sick seeing friends blow up and get famous and then one or some of them in this case get a big ass head on them and a fat ego thinking they're the shit on some "lead singer to the band" shit... that is exactly what D12 was clowning on in the song "my band". I cant believe this shit actually happens in real life and dudes be acting like they're efforts are worth so much more... But then I guess that's just how the world works. Same shit with managers, supervisors, bosses, they work equal or a lot of the time way less then they're employees and then get paid a ridiculous amount more.
they didn't start out as friends, they started out as talent, mostly suprvised and recognised by RZA and GZA
OldDirtyBillCosby they business friends....
My man Cappadonna almost sounded like he didn't know Gza's worth, "based upon his delivery or sales, I guess"......
I notice that
B for real. I was thinking the same thing while laughing. After he spoke on the other dudes I didn't know Gaza's worth myself lol
Vultrons head..
MegaGolgo13
Well said those who know
Know!
MegaGolgo13 liquid swords or OBFCL
Like Dr Dre said "when 1 person feel they deserve more than another problems come." The only people that should be getting more is Rza and Inspectah Deck because they producers, and artists. Inspectah Deck does beats too. With this payment system going down now there wont be another album.
@Michael Hunter no..it wasnt.Rza's vision.any of them will tell u that..plus Ghost is a producer for alot of shit too..hes actually the one picking EVERY beat for the newest 2019-20 era Wu record
Gza too..my G
i still don´t get how it´s not a vinyl.
Money and creative control is ultimately the problem of recording groups with so many members.
I watched that 4 part documentary on Cinemax. Ghost face said that in the early days that they were doing a lot of homie business. Those guys wised up later on though.
I always wondered about this. My assumption was always that there was no way a member like U-God was earning the same as Meth or Raekwon. He didnt contribute nearly as much as them.
Is what it is, some artists bring in more sales so deserve a higher cut.
U just don't get it smh
sorta like finding out Santa isnt real, peaking behind the curtain of your favorite group
U God never got paid it seems.
LOL
Please
Designated Piledriver 😂😂😂
@Ef U - U crazy, U God bodies every song hes on....cappa is the weakest
I'm sure he got plenty,he played his part
Why is rzas brother lookin for work he should be set 🤷♂️
manasseh dawkins I agree I watched that 4 part documentary RZAs brother Devine mentioned that every time he get his share of the money that he would buy up some property and land. Not to mention stocks life insurance and other business ventures. He should be well off.
He has more than one brother
RZA got 10 other siblings,Divine ain't the brother he talkin' bout...
@@EffDinero8 how come they ain't in the show?
gametime x3 cause its too many of them
Wtf deck got played
I was thinking the same thing. He's the best one of them all!
I have a stomach ache today looking forward to not having a stomach ache tomorrow, lol
to be fair everything's arguable in one form or another, are they definitely the best
I didnt know 9th made the beat for hiphopdx. No wonder I'm always bobbin my head listening to this shit.
hes beats are distinct, i had my suspicions
Damn. 9th Wonder went from Jay-Z and Beyoncé beats to CZcams background music really fast.
So hard to split of the money among haves and have nots
RZA most likely did the production. I have to admit that the beats they've been on havent held the word play at all.UGOD said they more or less felt that way.
Tearz beat😁
Yah mean?
If there was a tier system the best way to balance it is as follows :
Tier 1 ) RZA - for his sensational beats/ uniting the clan/ production/ mastering
Tier 2 ) GZA, Meth, Ghost, Rae, Inspectah
Tier 3 ) Ugod cappadonna masta killa, ODB fam royalties
I feel like Inspectah Deck really got hurt the most financially with his album delays, and the flood. His verses were consistently up there with the top hitters. Truly ODB / Ugod didn’t contribute many verses but brought so much energy and flare,
capadonna felt like a filler a bench warmer really just not on the same level as the rest of the Wu
No disrespect to Cappadonna but he just didn’t have the same punch or lyrical talent, but I applaud him for always willing to fill track space
Wow!! 😮
I think that teared system in regards to payment is BS but it makes sense. Because them brothers put on for the WU. When other brothers fell back and didn't do anything to push the WU name. Like Rza Rae Ghost n Gza go hard n Meth a machine. Their hard work pushes the WU TANG name ALOT farther than what the rest of the members have. I see Masta Killa working too tho. He should also get paid more than others who haven't done much with the WU name.
You doubt deck
So Inspecktah Deck didn't do much???? That's BS
Czarface albums are dope as fuck. Deck deserves mad props!
Deck is one of the nicest in the Clan, not even debateable
That’s wild, the “top tier” of the group is more than half the group… The inner workings of Wu-Tang is so interesting… RZA seems like the most solid cat on earth
Tf! Yo ins is Def top tier Wu, dudes most lyrical in the group hands down.
MuseR uhh no that title belongs to the genius/GZA. Deck is 2nd or 3rd.
@@DRWRITER08 its a matter of taste I guess..i love Gza but like my guy above in comments I'd rather listen to Deck' s ill shit anytime cause his preference of lyrical approach plus his delivery/cadence is ill as fuck to me.But i love Gza too, liquid swords is a classic masterpiece
Its just like Metallica Some Kind of Monster mane . Which is hilarious but also serious bummer cuz Wu Tang is the 'metallica' of rap imo . even when its bad its still better than half the market
“If that’s the case then give me the most” - RZA
Warcloud is the dopest Non official WU member. Hands down.
Johnny Mushroomz huh
I like Armeggedon
Is that Rza's room at the end there?
RubbinRobbin I know RZA likes rock music, but a couch covered entirely in punk rock and heavy metal stickers doesn't seem like something he'd put in his room.
It might be the studio he has with the drummer from System Of A Down though. I'd imagine it was the other dude who brought the couch.
For "A Better Tomorrow" why not pay the "lower tier" artists ....and as I'm typing this I'm all caught up cos RZA said they tried/trying that shit 😂
They waited too long for that album to drop so now it's private 🤔
Czarface pisses over a lot of Wu stuff so the rebel INS deserves loads of cash
Yeah tht Czarface shit is SUPER DUPER ILL!! 🍌! 😆
He doesn't have a single 90s classic which is when wu was at their peak. He killed hella verses but in the era of illmatics you needed a classic album. Gza rae ghost & meth had every requirement if that makes sense. Deck & ghost are defo carrying wu rn tho.
@Jay Sha I might respect your opinion if you could tell me why their trash??
@Jay Sha I don't wanna judge you so I'll give you another chance to listen to meddle with metal & Phantoms. DOOM is my favourite mc but deck outraps him on these tunes.
Esoteric is garbage. Fuck you.
OMG RZA I'm crazy about him besides the Obamas I love RZA's creativity
Like a basketball team,some of the Wu members unfortunately took the bench.
they don't.
This a grandmaster chess player right here...
RZA re-comfirms how much of a real nigga he is by denying his well deserved big share of Wú🦋 for the sake of an even split of funds 💱 to the whole clan👏👏
What about Deck MKilla UGod
Nelson Dias they didn't get anything out of it. RZA didn't focus on them. He put side groups before them.
I get paid 18 an hr ......did 40 hrs last week . Of the 40 hrs I worked I worked 13 hrs bone change to pay taxes . So I did one shift and a half ... can someone plzzz explain this to me
The diamond encrusted box is where their money went.
you can cut the pie 8 times but one can be bigger than the rest, a he the boss I guess call it how u see it bout don't make the other slices skimpy either lol
No doubt rza is real.. You don't see to many rap groups like that. Shut out to the wu.grew up listening to them and how rza combined kung fu movies to the music... And how he looks at life. When it's hip-hop.... Bless rza
Why does anyone assume they are entitled to that level of access in peoples lives tho?
they get paid when rza tells them they can get paid.
Tabs T 😂😂
How would this guy know that once apon a time in shoulin is the most incredibly concocted album if he has never heard it in its entirety?
Groupies
Rza DOES get the most money - 'Of Mics & men' proved that.
He does the most things
Rest of the vid 0 dB. Intro 43397356943 dB.
They don’t
Ohhhhh!!!!!! I get it now it's a popularity thing......no equal parts.....fuck shit in my opinion...but the love of money will destroy the strongest bonds....but fuck it give that W..album I can't wait and am 47 yrs old...real hip hop...and god bless them brothers...l hope everybody eating off this new shit....even ODB's family....
Business and politics are damn near evil.
A righteous man will avoid both at all costs and would rather endure suffrage.
😂
Top tier is what they bring to the brand..theres no debate that individually the names mentioned did alot more....even tho Deck is top tier as far as lyricism but as an solo artist hes not...nor is Cap, U God and Masta Killa...no shade thats just facts
I never understand what Rae and ghost are talking about when they rhyme.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 i understand better as an adult
U gotta live that life
you’re not built 4 cuban linx
sammy fWsH I guess not!
MDOTMiLLA never was interested in that type of life.
Rza’s mathematics is off point. If he gets the slices, then two people need to have their slice cut in half. Not one person.
Better Tomorrow had me running to the record store lol
U get 2 days off in corporate America the other 5 to spend some money
Raekwon is right about wanting to be bringing in different producers espically dre that shit would be dope
Nah. Dre is dope, but everything dope doesn't fit with everything dope.
A Better Tomorrow is a Chinese gangster movie from the 80s.
Lies Wu Tang did not co sign this! Verses were recorded as a favor to chiv because he was Rza peoples. But this is not a Wu-Tang album.
They should just get rid of ppl on the lower tear.
Retarded comment..every Wu member plays their role.Wht you're suggesting would get rid of Inspectah Deck and hes one of the illest on a mic in the Clan OR just rated over all emcees in hip hop.
@@danielwilson9724 Exactly, Inspectah Desk is "lower tier" but is one of the top 3 most lyrical rappers in the group.
6 mins of a all lot of nitin gtfoh😂
🏃♂️💨
i can't get paid more then my nigga, when i know homie got fams like i do that he has to feed....
deck would of definately been up there with success without that flood
ABT was Trash..... I need to hear OUTIS to see the hype.
Facts!!!
There was a couple ok joints...
It's sad I'm not a Wu Tang fan like that because I'm more of a Bone Thugs fan but is sad these artists set the bar so high back in the 90s that they just can't match it anymore the same could be said for bone as Wu-Tang
Of course; just like DiCaprio vs Lawrence… maybe ‘equals’ in the movie but who is the main act and heavily established.
Sorry Capadona, but you’re no Method Man. 🤷♂️
Only thing RZA could do is like: ok u have 10min total on the 100min album, so u get 10%; u have 5min so u get 5%, etc…
Bong bong
all tjat positively for one rich guy a better tommorow for the rich
Its rza i blame rza get more produces more collabos Dr.Dre did it with Scott Storch dr. Dre did it you know get more brain Kanye and bring dr. Dre and this wu album could be good
Fuck a Dre produced Wu album..if they were gonna go outside the clan just get Premo or sumthin
Shout outs to 2014... 9th wonder fucking blows
ダチウータンクランナンバー1でゲームを実行しようとしたダチの恥
These guys always making auction music. It's a problem that they only get together to make music for the millionaires and cant ALL come together for us 99% that put them in there place.
meth is so greedy and he overrated
Killarmy
Nelson Dias what happened to that group they were dope.
Wu tang is legendary forever but meth should get 60% and the others should split the rest he is far more superior mc
Rza greedy.
DICK LONG he taking the lions share from his team. #greedy
DICK LONG actually not. All of those guys would be stars without rza. You dont sound to bright so its no need in explaining to you how to treat your brothers financially
@DICK LONG no they wouldnt..gza,ODB , Meth would've lucked into careers but idk if the rest of the clan would've even got a real shot if Rza didnt have The Wu vision first..thts just facts.Rae or any them dudes will tell u they love Rza for getting them out the hood.
@DICK LONG Wht about Deck? Dude is super ill with the bars still to this day! Czarface is some of the best hip hop released in the last 15 years
Producers and executives make all the money. RZA said every year him and his older brother Devine would start a new business venture. WU tang records, WU management, WU elements, razor sharp records. The list goes on. Of RZA don't make the most then something is wrong.
G.R.E.E.D destroyed the clan.
Also, RZA aint no angel. Please tell me why the clan members can't use the iconic W logo on any of their solo projects unless they pay a fee. The devil has blatantly compromised somebody in that crew. Facts 😐🤷🏼🤦
