new journal entry from Priest.... - Wu-Tang Corp. - Official Site of the Wu-Tang Clan

he had alot to say...

What’s up, everybody? It’s been a minute, I know. I’ve been out here working. I’m just shocked at so many of these labels. A lot of these people who claim that they like real hip-hop, they have to support real hip-hop. These labels don’t want to fuck with the real. That’s why I’m going the independent route with The Offering.

This girl at Def Jam heard that album and she wanted me to get up with Jay-Z. But you know how that goes. She wanted Jay-Z to hear my album, but I never heard back. I haven’t heard nothing back from her. If you’re reading this, let me know what’s up Mrs. Michelle. The funny part is she heard the album and was like, “He’s kind of nice. Who is this cat?” My man was playing the album to her and she just got crazy open. I’m supposed to meet up with Jay-Z but I’m not holding my breath.

The dude getting shot in Queens by the police is bullshit. This police brutality has to come to a cease or we’re going to have to do something about it. My whole thing is we have to police our own selves. There’s been a problem with the police. I’m glad this story went major. This has been happening all over the world. Police shoot first and ask questions last. We have to stand up as a nation and not put up with this bullshit. We can’t be letting those cops just do anything. That goes with unity and the people straight up. Nothing is going to happen if we don’t have unity.

The first step to getting that unity is self-awareness. We have to examine ourselves. We have to come in to who we are and become our own government. We have to know who we are. It all exists within our self. That’s the first situation. We also have to check ourselves. I’m not talking about the brother who got shot, but we have to be more wise on how we move and be more strategic. I have this song called “Cryin’ Frontier” that talks about stuff like that. I don’t know if it’s going to make the album or not, but it’s a good song. It’s talking about how we have to move more strategically and how we don’t have anymore leaders. We have to get ourselves focused and stand up for ourselves. We have to stand up. There are no more Malcolm X’s. The little ones in the projects, it’s our duty to train them. They’re going to jail. We have to train them and tell them to focus on the right things and situations.

And for everyone saying that it’s not a race issue, of course it was a race issue. It was ignorance. I think what’s more stupid is that you had black cops in there too shooting. It was all of that. The race issue is now about being young and black. Sometimes the old folks don’t like the young folks. If you’re an officer, sometimes you have that chip in your head where you think like them. If you’re white and you’re not an officer, you’re a part of us. We’re all a part of the renegade team. They have everybody targeted. And that’s not to take the focus off black people because that’s where it started at. We’ve been telling them for years that we have to move more strategic and know how to move within ourselves because they know how to move. They’re training. We have to be training and get our minds right. I’m not going to reveal too much in this journal. It has more to do with things besides race. It has more to do with things than we think about.

I think it’s bullshit that Kramer got more play in the media than this shooting. He’s an inferior, scared-ass motherfucker. He’s simpleminded. He’s a millionaire for being a comedian. That’s what’s wrong with this world we live in. Ignorance is promoted. Doctors are downplayed in this society. This is a modern-day Babylonia. Nothing’s changed. Simplicity is pushed to a high level. If you want to live, you have to roll with it. A lot of these people are fake-ass sellouts behind closed doors. They’re talking all that revolutionary shit but they’re not real about it. I know who you are. You have to come out the closet like R.Kelly said.

Jesse Jackson said we should stop using the word “nigga.” That’s stupid. He’s down with them too. How long has he been in politics? Ain’t shit change yet! A lot of politicians are talking about “don’t use the n-word.” The power is out of that word. The word is used so much. Niggas don’t even know their true nationality. I don’t think using that word makes any difference. If you’re my nigga, you’re my nigga. So what? I have to keep it real. These political leaders kill me. Jesse Jackson is sitting up there saying, “Don’t use the n-word.” That’s because he’s up there with them. If anything, try to figure out and tell us what happened with Martin Luther King Jr. Tell us the truth. I don’t care who gets mad at that. There are a lot of political secrets and things that are going to go down if they open their eyes and ears. This is Priest. I’m talking this shit. It’s real.

I don’t give a fuck who says the word “nigga.” White people can’t really use that word, but I don’t give a fuck about it. It doesn’t really bother me when white people say it. It’s like a slang now. A lot of people are emotional about it. I don’t give a fuck who uses that word. Just don’t use it out of context. It’s how you use it. “That’s my nigga right there.” That’s whatever. I don’t care about it no more. I never used to say that word, but I started saying that word as a form of rebellion. I feel you could make an acronym out of that. You know me, I make acronyms out of anything.

And I didn’t buy Kramer’s apology. I don’t buy no apologies. I don’t accept apologies. If you want to apologize, do something for the hood. Fuck all of that. All those apologies don’t mean nothing. You got cats out here starving. I was just talking with this African sister and she was telling me how they treat the brothers over there in the mining industry. I’m not even rocking ice anymore. All my jewelry is going to be on my shelf. Everybody should stop rocking that shit for a minute. All that shining is bullshit. Niggas are dying over that. I used to rock a lot of diamonds in the ‘90’s. I wore a lot of jewelry. The whole Clan knows. I gave all that stuff to my moms and I don’t rock that no more. When I saw what’s happening with it, I said, “I can’t rock it anymore.”

I can’t speak on what my Wu brothers will do, but they should stop rocking ice. I’m not doing it though. Rae and them are iced out. There ain’t nothing wrong with flossing, but there is with a certain type of jewelry. Ghost wears a lot of gold. Fuck all of those diamonds. Motherfuckers can’t afford that shit and people are getting killed for it and we’re over here doing nothing. It looks beautiful though. It looks good, but they’re going through hell over there.

When kids in Africa and Puerto Rico were young, from the stories I’ve heard, they used to play with jewelry. I’ll stick to that. The value of work is everything.

The mixtape, Prelude to the Offering 2, is done. I’m going to continue putting out product and music. I’m going to become like Katrina. I’m going to flood all the hoods and I’m not going to stop. This is the Lord’s work I have to do. I feel I have a higher cause to do this. I’m going to have all kinds of demons coming at me and I’m prepared to battle. It’s the Byzantine King Supreme. I’m going to have all types of negatives but I’m ready for that. I’m riding for the truth and I have my sword drawn. The truth will set you free. I’m not mixing or diluting my shit. I’m not watering nothing down. You can’t mess with this. I’m a grown man and I know where I stand. I’m riding for the truth. Anybody else riding for the truth, come on. Anybody else not riding for the truth, you better get out of the way. Even if you think you’re going to stop me, I’m riding with power. There’s going to be thousands and millions…144,000 getting shot. Y’all do the math. The smart ones know what I’m talking about. And that’s men and women. I’ve been meeting a lot of revolutionary sisters ready to roll for the truth. That’s good because they play a part in this too.

I don’t have anything else to say unless it’s intelligent and a movement. Don’t come to me and talk to me about something stupid about some rapper. If you come up to me, tell me about something that will change my life or about how to change our living environment and mentality. I’m talking about everybody. This is about changing the mentality because if everyone can learn how to respect everybody else, that will make a great change on the way we’re living. That’s real talk.

Peace and harmony. I’m headed back to the tombs right now to finish up some of my scribes. Y’all will hear from me in a minute. For all you haters out there, y’all are going against God’s work. You make me laugh.
