Talk:RZA

message: It says his AKAs are The Abbott under Tommy Boy Records. This is inaccurate. He was known as Prince Rakeem under Tommy Boy. The Abbott didn't come about until Wu-Tang Forever in 1997. The names should list as follows: The Scientist (under All in Together Now), Prince Rakeem (under Tommy Boy Records), Rzarector (under Gravediggaz), Bobby Steels (his Wu-Gambino persona after Raewkon's debut solo album), The Abbott (after Wu-Tang Clan's sophomore album), Bobby Digital, Ruler Zig-Zag-Zig Allah (his 5 percenter alias). Why is it so messed up? Wufan10304 (talk) 20:53, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Background Information needs changing

message: The change I made that was reverted is accurate - he said it in an interview with Conan O'Brien.

replies: text: It was probably in the Influences section because that section talks a lot about Kanye West being influenced by RZA's production style. --Josh1billion (talk) 20:04, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

text: I don't agree with them either, or their blatant lack of respect for his name that he created as an acronym and his first book, which they say is 'self-mythologizing'. I provided proof and they are still ignoring this and using their own personal ideas. I think we should be able to disagree with and appeal decisions made by these moderators since they are obviously ignoring proof and facts and using personal opinion over accuracy. They are clearly wrong. Wufan10304 (talk) 16:32, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: [[Man with the Iron Fist]]

message: There is currently no citation (and no explanation) for RZA's jail term (while he was signed to Tommy Boy records).
I don't think I've seen anything written about the crime, the trial or the sentence.  Even more strange: I don't think I've ever heard him rap about (...certainly nothing from RZA on the subject on 36 Chambers, the first thing out after the jail sentence, presumably?).
Given that most rappers aren't reticent about jail time (it sometimes leads the C.V.) it would be interesting to find something more on this.  Could somebody add a link, at least to this discussion, if not revising the article, and adding a source?

replies: text: He says at http://www.wutang-corp.com/news/article.php?id=356 that "I went to jail for—I don't like to talk about it—violence, gun violence."   I'm pretty sure I've heard somewhere it was a weapons charge.  That would make sense, anyway, given the time he served.  Jamieli (talk) 14:31, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Was fortunate enough to meet RZA tonight at an event.  He mentioned he was vegan, not vegetarian.  But I don't have an official source to back me up. :(  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.178.250.188 (talk) 00:43, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vegetarian vs Vegan 

message: Some anonymous editor(s) has suggested 1984 as the proper first year of his rapping career. While the language has not been beautiful, the Hip Hop Core interview appears to be a reputable source that confirms it. But we seem to be in a modest, unheated edit war over which year to use. Perhaps rather than going back and forth between the two, we can take to the Talk page here to attempt to reach consensus, even if one editor chooses to remain anonymous.Czrisher (talk) 20:40, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
