The one man band man spoke to Shaheem Reid at MTV News and said,
“I’m bringing the Ruff Ryders back real major in ‘08. It’s gonna be a lot of Ruff Ryders sh– in ‘08. Not taking away from D-Block, not taking away from Bloodline. It’s stamping the brand that started all this sh–. They letting me do whatever I wanna do as the president [of the company]. This is what I wanna do. Do this album, 10 bangers. Trying to get a joint from [Dr.] Dre, Primo [DJ Premier]. We got Dame Grease. All the original producers, everything to make the Ruff Ryder album authentic head-banger hip-hop. I got everybody right now. X just sent me five verses. Trust me. I don’t accept just any X [verses]. You’ll see. This is the real deal. I’m not gonna do it if it’s not the real deal.”
I say, don’t hold your breath. The Ruff Ryders have as many, if not more, problems than Wu-Tang does. Plus the fans don’t care about all that nostalgia. They just want a hit record. Not saying Swizz can’t do it, but I’m skeptical.
