Raekwon claims Jay-Z and Kanye West are lacking credibility on the streets. The Wu-Tang vet said that the pair had lost touch with their roots and were not exciting or inspiring young artists.

He told New York Daily News: “A lot of street people don’t put stock in them anymore because they aren’t doing enough to excite anyone.”

Raekwon advised the pair to return to the “hood” and donate $100,000 (£512,000) in order to restore their credibility.
