During a recent chat with VladTV, Raekwon was asked who should win the Grammy for Album of the Year — Kendrick Lamar, or Macklemore? For the Wu-Tang spitter, it’s a toss-up.
“It’s two underground cats that bust they ass to get where they at…they’re both winners,” the veteran emcee responded.
While on the subject of independent artists finding success, Raekwon expressed regret for not linking up with Kendrick Lamar to make something happen while he was still relatively unknown.
The Staten Island native then discussed working with recently slain rapper Doe B, and said they had talked about working together on more things in the future.
“Next thing you know I heard that tragic call…All I can say is the good die young, you know?”
Finally, Raekwon touches on his upcoming album “Fly International Luxurious Art.”
“I put a lot of work on there…you’re gonna hear some heaters up there. Get ready.”
