Raekwon On Grabbing “Criminology”, Wu-Tang’s Early Recording Process & Much More [Video]
It just so happened that Raekwon walked into RZA’s house one day, heard the “Criminology” beat first and claimed it as his own. That’s how Wu-Tang recorded back then, first come, first served. So much of hip-hop history could have been different if The Chef hadn’t called dibs on that beat before anyone else.
After the jump, Rae talks about how much he was inspired by emcees like Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane and more, plus why RZA and GZA really were the driving forces behind the creation of the Wu-Tang Clan.
