Wu-Tang rapper Raekwon has one thing on his mind these days: Growth. If he said it once, he said it a hundred times (know what IΓÇÖm sayinΓÇÖ?) during his recent conversation with LAUNCH rap/R&B editor Billy Johnson Jr. ΓÇ£I donΓÇÖt like to keep implanting a negative vibe in someoneΓÇÖs head, because then you think thatΓÇÖs how I be living and I only lived that way for a while in my life,ΓÇ¥ says Rae, who describes himself as a former ΓÇ£stick-up man and pharmacist.ΓÇ¥ But times have changed and that change is reflected on Immobilarity, the artistΓÇÖs second breakout disc from the Clan. ΓÇ£I got my sh-t together and matured. And thatΓÇÖs all IΓÇÖm doing is showing brothers that I changed -- for the better, not for the worse.ΓÇ¥ With a role in the forthcoming film Black & White (starring Brooke Shields), a character in the video game Wu-Tang Shaolin Style, and an autobiography in the works, this one-time street thug is determined to prove that he has goals and horizons that reach far beyond the ghetto. This live track was performed here in the LAUNCH studios.
