Fred US English. Tessa South African. And they all agreed, which is really remarkable when I look back on it. Because we can hardly agree on anything! It was around when you promised Wu Tang that you would take them to number one, and five years later, you delivered.
Did you ever have any doubts? I had no doubts. Equations are a formula that have the correct answer. It may take time. Okay, but what does that mean? At least accurate enough to get you to a point where quantum kicks in. And so with that equation of me understanding what I was, my own determination, the dreams and creative energy that I was bringing to the world, the creative energy of my crew, the experience of the past and also the weakness in the industry itself… Have you ever read the fable of the crow and the bottle?
The imagination of my psyche, it never stops. Many times we go down a wrong path, but if you can survive through that path and get a second chance — and sure, with a second chance a man should be able to make the right move. For me, music was a second chance. I was really going into a lot of bullcrap and I got a second chance — and a second affirmation from my mother, right?
To me as a young man, the biggest thing was to disappoint my mother! So when I do feel like there is too much, I say: Just sit still. And for my own life, from desperation I discovered determination, and dedication to my craft of art and making music and anything that was an artistic expression.
It saved my whole life and it saved the whole Wu Tang Clan. I had a dream to make art and be an artist, and hip hop and music was like a burning passion in me. I wrote a lyric, no matter what. I wrote in school — I could be in math class and write a lyric, I could be in science class and write a lyric. And when I learned biology, I would write a lyric about biology. And those songs were two things: they exercised the muscle of creativity, but they also actually helped me retain the information.
Well, would you believe that Raekwon, who is one of the greatest rappers in history, when we first started Wu Tang, he went to the streets and he quit writing lyrics? When I brought him back in to be part of Wu Tang and come move with us, he had only four lyrics. Now he has a catalogue of hundreds of songs.
Do you miss the communal or collaborative act of creation these days, or does filmmaking satisfy you in that way? The team disperses after the film, and this has quite a psychological effect. When you are making a film, you become a family.
