Talk:Raekwon

Convert to Islam?
Is he really a convert and goes by the name Abdul Aziz Al-Habib? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.149.155.29 (talk) 18:22, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Main Photo
I don't know about you guys, but this page (along with many other Wu pages) needs a new photo. The current one up is complete garbage. A photo with Mathematics and Rae looking out into space with crap on Rae's shoes does not do this page justice.

I AGREE WITH THE ORIGINAL POSTER! CHANGE THE PHOTO! Theres tons of other photos of Rae out there that are FAR better -J —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.242.9.226 (talk) 16:22, 2 November 2009 (UTC)


 * This is one of a series of articles where someone removed the free image and replaced it with a copyrighted image off Photobucket. This goes against Wikipedia's policy on copyright violation and cost editors quite some time to fix.


 * Unfortunately, many people assume that "free" means "found on the Internet", which is not the case - virtually all images on the Internet are under copyright. If you feel strongly about this, you may wish to take a picture yourself of the artist (and by "take a picture" I mean take one with your own camera) and upload it to Wikipedia under a free license. Otherwise, please do not upload any old image you find online - it will be removed pursuant to Wikipedia's copyright policy. --NellieBly (talk) 04:25, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

 * What is with his sobriquet "the chef"? Did he actually cook for the clan or is that a gangster reference?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.255.170.233 (talk) 13:35, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

No, 1970 would be the correct date. None of the websites in your citations can be considered definitive, but gather their information from places like Wikipedia & IMDB. The bio's page on the offical Wu-Tang website clearly states 1970.

The Wu-Tang Manual also has 1970. Case closed.--Hip hop17 19:09, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, the truth is no website can be fully accurate. Take Method Man for example. On the official Wu-Tang homepage they say his birthday is April 1, yet Method Man himself said on tracks that he has the same birthday as Dr. Seuss, which is March 2; and that he is a Pisces. So, yeah, who knows.--Tainted Drifter 03:12, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Pronounciation
I'm not really sure how to pronounce his name. I go for "raykwon" (sorry, don't know how ISP works), but that might be incorrect. -- Soetermans |  is listening  |  what he'd do now?  13:18, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

That's how it is on every album I got. No debate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.118.26.55 (talk) 03:29, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Vandalism
Someone vandalized this article, with the following text "And being the bitch Raekwon is, he has yet to accept Joe's offer of a 1 on 1 battle since the incident took place." at the bottom of the page. 75.72.248.254 (talk) 04:15, 11 August 2009 (UTC)Jon
