Man how can you not love Raekwon! I know folks including me don’t rock with Vlad but Rae is one of the best interviewers ever! His slang and charisma is stellar!

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✌💯

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.

It’s crazy cuz I swear they can still come out with a Wu Tang movie and still break box office numbers for sure!!

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

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

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.

Some people just natural born story tellers.. Raekwon definitely got the gift of gab

Just finished raekwon book from staircase to stage 🔥🔥🔥

Rae is hands down in my top 5 DOA. He just has so much natural style and his flow is wicked ! WU forever 🔥👐🏽

Even his storytelling in just having a regular conversation is captivating.

rae and prodigy always remind of new york when they talk

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

I love Raekwon it’s the humbleness for me this dude definitely is the rose that grew from the concrete

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

This interview made me love and respect Raekwon even more than I did before ❤️!

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.

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

I just finished watching the full interview I've been crying for... It was GREAT..!!! WU Tang forever..!!!!

hearin Rae speak sounds like hes rapping as he speaks. great storyteller

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.

Breaking a 2hr interview into 28 parts was total madness

I could watch rae talk for hours and hours and dont get tired, his whole demeanor, accent and way of talking makes me feel as if I lived in NY during the gritty grimy 80s era

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.

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.

He’s a leader. Plus, he seems like he has the purest heart. One of my all time favs

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.

A very good interview with Rae! Learned a lot watching the whole interview!!!❤

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

THIS HAS TO BE THE BEST RAP INTERVIEW I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. SO REAL, SO HONEST! VLAD AND RAE THANKS YOU FOR THIS AMAZING INSIGHT!

That first Rae album was the reason why I started rapping. Epic story telling awesome beats and superior lyricism

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

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

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

HELL YES! A new full interview with the Chef! :)

Excellent Interview - exceptional growth - Love Raekwon!

Raekwon one of the greatest of all time this guy a legend for real

Such a great interview. Love the growth in this brother 🙌🏾

one of the best lyricist and rapper of all time. albums like only built for cuban linx and immobilarity influenced so many other rappers and had a tremendous influence on the game. big up to shallah raekwon

Raekwon is a very smart dude makes sense all the time.

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

A dope Interview. The Chef is humble and down to earth. The saying he quoted -- "First time, shame on you, second time, shame on me" sums it up. WORD..... ☝🏻

only if you were born around this time and ran the streets , would you understand how vague but detailed this interview is.

The Hulu series is dope, but damn that Wu Movie sounds like it could've been EPIC. Call Leo back Rae!! That movie needs to be made.

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

Exceptional interview right here! 💯💯💯🔥

Beautiful interview

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

Finally. Thank you for the full interview.

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

Raekwon one of greatest of the golden age of hip hop

One of the best interviews on this

This is my favorite interview yet.

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

Great interview 🔥🔥

This man said "on my camouflage army shit" 🤣🤣🤣 Raekwon never change.

Thanks for the full interview 👏🏼

Best Vlad interview for sure. Genuine respect for the Chef, just dope

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.

OB4CL was definitely one of my favorite albums. I was about 15 or 16 when it came out. I still listen to it to this day. I had the purple tape and the cd. 😂

great interview! couldn't stop watching.

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

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.✌🏾

Classic Raekwon love how the OG broke down everything well articulated salute DJ VLAD iconic

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

This is the best Wu Tang Raekwan interview ever.

Raekwon was always building on other levels than the rest. MUCH respect.

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

This definitely one of those ones very very great educational interview salute very inspiring interview this definitely one of those ones

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.

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

Glad he finally said it‼️...that dude looks nothing like the RZA on the Hulu show 💯

Dope interview 🙌

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

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

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 !

Man, FINALLY, the whole joint...Let's Goooo.

This interview should have at least 1 million plus

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.

He said it’s almost like the news was promoting crack cocaine. Deep, when I think about it now

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

Thank God finally the full thing

I admire Chef's intellect.

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

dope interview

Thank you for this vlad

Still make the movie too. Definitely will be a must see!

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.

Good interview 💪🏾

Great interview. Rae's view on the Forever album was interesting and surprising. In upstate NY everyone was bumping that album for years

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

Raekwon a real nigga never take advantage of a good man 💯♥️

Just saw the whole Clan in Brooklyn on Sep 27th at the Barclay Center, never seen anything like it. We talking mad energy in Brooklyn. Mad respect to the Clan. I got some good clips!

“You ain’t watch the Flinstones? How you niggas ain’t watch the flintstones?” I don’t know why that cracked me up!

Man I must be nutz.... I could listen to Rae talk all day....LMAO

Interview makes me miss the 90’s

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

Super dope interview much respect to the chef! He super solid brother respect love from Texas 🤘🏾
