Confused yet? Yes, Raekwon, Method Man & Ghostface will join together to drop the Wu-Massacre LP on Def Jam next month. However Rae recently revealed details about his next solo album, Shaolin Vs. Wu-Tang, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
EW: What’s Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang?
Raekwon: Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang is another album that I promised the fans a long time ago. It’s not nothing derogatory towards Wu. It’s just that Shaolin [i.e., Staten Island] is the place, Wu-Tang is the crew that came from that place. It’s like me just going back to my history of being an emcee first, before I actually became part of Wu-Tang. I always give RZA that support as far as saying he brought Wu-Tang to the table. It was his philosophy. He picked certain dudes to be part of this group, and he said, “This is what it’s going to be called.” Before that, I was on the block. I was living in Shaolin. So this album just shows the street side of me, challenging the great side of Wu-Tang. Which is almost like how T.I. did T.I. vs. T.I.P. You’re going to get sounds that relate to Wu-Tang. You’re going to get sounds that relate to great Rae at his best s—, too. You’re going to get a lot of animation as far as the skits are concerned. It’s going to be a hot one. Everyone’s going to love that.
EW: Is that going to be released as a solo album under your name?
Raekwon: Yeah. It’s definitely going to be a solo release, and it’s coming definitely before this year is out.
EW: How far along are you recording?
Raekwon: I’ve been working. It’s going to be a classic album. Like I said, when it comes to lyrics, I do not have to worry about that. Production, we always gotta worry about that. You’re going to get a great album.
