Raekwon says that it was likely he and Biggie would have recorded an album together. Despite the competition between Wu-Tang Clan and the Notorious B.I.G., Rae says there was always respect.
"First and foremost when we all came up together it was almost like the best time in hip-hop," Raekwon recently told MTV's RapFix. "And at that time we were young, we were childhood stars with a vision, at that time we all was doin' it. Like I tell the world to this day, beef is something when it's on and poppin'; competition is competition. At the end of the day I feel like the same way he loved our music, we loved his music.
"We probably would've did an album," he added. "That's how I feel, because like I said we were all runnin' neck and neck."
He brought up the time that Wu-Tang and Biggie worked together before the rapper's murder in 1997.
"Don't forget Meth worked with him on joints," added Raekwon, referring to the Wu's Method Man being featured on Biggie's, "The What," off B.I.G.'s 1994 solo debut album, Ready to Die.
In another recent interview on RapFix Live, Lil' Kim confirmed that Big listened to Wu-Tang.
"He liked Wu-Tang's music, I'll tell you, he liked their music despite all the craziness," Kim said.
