Last October, the “Golden Arms” MC sat out from The Saga Continues album release, only to appear on an official “Hood Go Bang” remix by year’s end. The MC said he had not been paid for group work since 2010, despite a publicized $2 million album sold at auction, solo records on RZA’s label, and the group’s major label release, A Better Tomorrow. In late 2016, the Staten Island, New York native hit RZA and his band-mates with a reported $2.5 million lawsuit over unpaid royalties. Perhaps no member has been more publicly vocal about a dysfunction in the family than U-God. Surviving members have been vocal about inequalities within the group, and expressed criticism at RZA’s production. The New York City Hip-Hop collective has made it to a silver anniversary not without tragedy, or conflict. The Wu-Tang Clan are in the midst of a 25-year anniversary of their debut album, Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers ).
