RZA Defends Dictatorship In Germany
Wu-Tang Clan founder the RZA always sounds like he has cotton balls stuffed in nostrils. But in a good way. He also always has something interesting to say. Here, in a snippet from an interview he did at last weekend's Splash! Festival in Germany, he talks about how sometimes dictatorship is better than democracy. The interviewer starts to look a little nervous. Now here's a video mash-up that makes it look Adolf Hitler is performing Notorious B.I.G.'s "Live Freestyle '95."
Plato was right! (Just not very practical.) Good for RZA sticking to his self-imposed term limit. Billy Corgan could learn a thing or two.
What a terrible, misleading headline.
But it's RZA's fault for the bad analogy. How many start-up businesses or bands or whatever are pure democracies? At the same time, what about all those executive producer credits on the early albums? It was usually several people, like 4-5 per album, with Ghostface always getting a credit.
And then…after all that…why did they all complain about RZA wanting to use guitars (on one track!) etc. (I believe Rae said RZA became a hippie?), on that 8 Diagrams album?
Love the Tablet ad that plays during the Hitler rap.
Way late to the thread.
George W. Bush tried to say something similar. For some reason (for lots of reasons!), it was scarier coming from him than from RZA.
