This interview is a big reminder that the golden age of hip hop is not a figment of our imaginations. Chef wears his heart on his sleeve. You hearing the voice of the culture from one it's finest/flyest✌💯

I dont rock wit vlad, but i had to watch this one. STOP IT. How many times did yall say that in 2021, 2020, 2019? Yall can stop pretending.... nobody is gonna arrest yall for watching GladTv. 👀

Raekwon is like a nigga uncle always got words of wisdom for a young nigga

I'm 15 minutes in and all I've heard are stories of forgivness, and in the end, love. Mad respect for what the mans been thru. We are blessed to have eachother, and the WU.

The W is tattooed on the heart of hip hop🙌🏾

Glad you let him talk his talk without interrupting! Rae is the reason why I started rapping.

I was actually in HDM in Rikers Island when the wu performed, it was fire, 1996,,all of them were there, ghost was the only one wearing a big gold chain , Rae had a Cuban on but it was tucked under his shirt, I remember saying he’s short in real life, I just thought that because he was my height, lol, but his vocal skills is crazy, he’s right everyone was on there best behavior because HDM was gladiator school at that time , people were getting cut and stabbed everyday, but no one wanted to fuck up the Wu performing, dirty bastard came over from the shock program , he was on a parole violation, I remember he performed a song he said he was coming out with but it never came out, the song went (put it in there butts…) lol.. referring to females, the female guards were tight at that song, they performed every song, I remember when they finished Rae Kwon passed right by me grilling everybody, I remember laughing to myself, I guess he wanted to show he was hard amongst criminals. Some guy next to me threw a t-shirt at him for his autograph, he signed it, dam that brings back memories, glad he still here because the 90’s in NYC was a war zone… I changed my life around and never looked back.

Classic New Yorker. Natural storytellers.

rae and prodigy always remind of new york when they talk

I was born in East New York Brooklyn and raised on Staten Island. When we moved from BK we moved to Park Hill, when the apartments were brand new. Many of the cats that Rae is talking about I grew up with them, C-Allah, the original knuckle game champ from Stapelton Billy Johnson(R.I.P) We moved to Mariners Harbor(Jungle Nilz) where the original emcees from Staten Island(Force MC'S) put our borough on the map in the late 70's, early 80's. The Force MC's later became the Force MD's, they're the true pioneers of hip-hop and R&B. Every project on the Isle had brothers that would fight each other all the time, I wasn't a street dude, but I was raised amongst the Thugs. Rest in peace to Mike and Barry Blue, K-Born, Lord Justice, Quadon, and many other brothers that didn't have the opportunity to grow old. Much respect to our borough, Staten Island aka the Isle of Stat, Shaolin.

One of the best Hip-hop interviews I’ve ever watched the story telling is like reading a book. Roller coaster cinematic.

His Wu-Tang slang is thick! Him and Cap got that slang.

“ I would’ve been washed on the walking tip” is a wild ass way to say “I may have never walked right again”

Raekwon is one of the greatest rappers of all-time and a stand up individual who speaks his mind. Great interview overall and hope Wu-Tang Clan do great things in the future.

Best Vlad interview ever, one of the best out there period. Makes me want to read the book, and watch his version of the movie. If I had another kid, I'd name him Raekwon. I felt this.

Yo I watched every individual clip & had to watch the full thing right after it dropped. Raekwon a real legend in the game, nothing but respect for dude & the whole Wu tang clan 💯 dude made a 2 hour interview feel like a casual conversation, plenty of wisdom in the words he speak

This Raekwon interview is well worth the watch. I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing the first time I heard C.R.E.A.M, everything for me changed after that. Salute to the Chef! Oh and I'm glad I didn't hear Glad much but good on him for putting this interview out.

I can't love this interview enough!!!!

Had the pleasure of meeting him twice overseas,and building a little...Kwon is a solid dude..Respect.

I love Raekwon's idea for a Wu Tang movie. He wanted it to be like a Scorsese-type film. That's amazing. Those mafia films are some of the best in cinema history

Rae’s such a great interview everywhere he goes. His storytelling is almost as iconic as his raps are. Just his voice in general is the sound of the Wu Tang Clan.

Great interview 🔥🔥

I grew up listening to the wu I still have original tapes. This interview was dope. Its good to see Chef doing good. Got a slang like no other. His story came across strong. Much respect

Just added his book to my cart. Great interview! He sounds like a real genuine dude I hope he gets that movie deal

Back in the day when every coast had their own style. Now everybody has the same starter kit, rhymes and production wise.

The lyrical contributions Rae and Ghost contributed to Hip Hop music STILL to this day (in my opinion) are not and have not been acknowledged or celebrated to the levels they deserve ! These guys came in with something that sounded like nothing you had EVER heard before And they didn't ask a single question in the process THIS shit is fly and we don't even care if you know it or not because WE know it! Which is in truth and in fact the very essence of Hip Hop music !

Imo Ghost influenced the whole "alternative" rap genre. Mack Miller, Action Bronson, Tyler The Creator etc... Ghost was one of the first with the flow where the words didn't actually matter, he experimented with rap song structure in way nobody else was doing. He don't get enough credit for that fr. No disrespect to Rae, he def the better rapper but Ghost's creativity is just unmatched.

Exceptional interview right here! 💯💯💯🔥

That was a great interview. It was so sweet to hear the tears in Vlad’s voice when he gave the chef his roses

this is def in the top 5 of my favorite Glad interviews

One of the best interviews on this

Every time I hear the story about UGod's son it breaks my heart. Peace to UGod and his family.

BEST VLAD INTERVIEW EVER! RAE is my favorite rapper of all time, OB4CL is my favorite album. Love this brotha right here. PEACE!

I'm watching the Hulu series for the first time now and although compelling, I'm mildly irritated by the new slang they keep spittin'... like "my dude," "my G," "trash," and "fire." We weren't talking like that in the late '80s and early '90s.. That's all new millennium slang. But I guess they tried to make it relevant for the new generations..

What a dope interview. You can tell Raekwon is solid! It's refreshing to see his brand of authenticity and principle. A lot of wisdom in this interview, especially what he said about rza being a better manager of his emotions when compared to the rest of the guys. That line explains so much.

Dope Interview. Salute Chef & Vlad on this one!!

dope interview

Salute to the whole Clan to be able to speak openly, especially to one another. Not many crews can be honest with each other and it not be a total wrestle mania.✌🏾

Seen Wutang in 96 when I was in 7th grade and I was hooked glad to see them all so successful and still putting out fire music

My favorite interview you've done VLAD! I'm an OG Wu fan and for me The Chef is a Legend.

Just copped the audio book on audible! Raekwon one of my favourite rappers

Man I’m about 2/3 of the way through “From Staircase To Stage” and damn it’s good. I’m a big Wu fan since I was a kid but even leaving that aside, it was really well written and gives a dope insight into the early days of the Wu, their upbringing, getting signed, touring, recording classic albums, etc. Such a good read.

Rae is up there with busta rhymes and DMX when it comes to having the perfect rap voice.

This interview should have at least 1 million plus

One of the best interviews I’ve ever seen. Raekwon knows how to tell a story

I admire Chef's intellect.

Rae has an immaculate soul fr GOD bless da Wu 🐝👐🏾

Great interview.

Good interview 💪🏾

Can we get a SLICK RICK, The ruler… Interview before it’s to late💎

"Where's my R O I"? Now that was gangsta. 2022 gon be *Different*

This is the best Wu Tang Raekwan interview ever.

Love that he shouted out the temptations movie. One of my favourites

I think RZA was right as far as the movie vs tv series thing. There’s no way you can tell the story of Wu Tang the right way in a 2-3 hour movie. The series allowed RZA to go in depth with all 9 members and their respective stories.

Growing up in Queens as a teen in the late 80’s we knew about Staten Island. Corey was true to his heart the way he moved and still understands, you have to have a code.

Great interview

What's iconic is that throughout this whole interview his cadence matches how he shows up on record. Now I realize that he was the guiding force of 36 Chambers--besides RZA's work.Raekwon wove the album together via skit.
