First time I finally got Wu-Wu
Nobody really even knew what they looked like
With the exception of, you know, that music video
That I think they made for ten dollars for Method Man
But the problem was the business of Wu-Tang
They missed the photo shoot
The only photos they had that, I guess, you know
Featured like them in masks
At the time, you know, this is pre-internet
If you missed a photo shoot
There was no way for a magazine to course correct
The magazine came out
But instead of these photos
Everybody had a basic
Not even like an illustration, but a caricature
Raekwon the Chef
There was an illustration of Raekwon
Where he's got like a chef's hat
Old Dirty Bastard is pictured with a blow-up doll
I didn't like 'em
But the thing was, was I completely understood
The position that they were put in
Without art, we would have to kill the story
I didn't think the illustrations, um
Reflected the seriousness of what I'd witnessed
'Cause musically, Wu-Tang was just off the charts
I thought it, I thought it looked corny
Some stories turn out great
Some stories don't turn out great
This was one I felt that was only okay
And, um, you know, you move on
It came out, nothing happened
I didn't hear anything from the group
First person that's, that I see
Masta Killa walks up
I didn't know him at the time
And he says, "Yo, is you Cheo?"
And I said, "Yeah"
Bam, I get hit in the face
He's right, right cross, right to my left eye
"That's just to let you know
Wu-Tang Clan ain't nothing to fuck with
We come real with our shit
We ain't no fucking cartoon characters"
