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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Origins of the name?

Anyone know the origins of the name Raekwon? --HiroProtagonist 02:33, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It means Gifted With Words. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JF Razor2.0 (talk • contribs) 01:22, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

Date of birth

Was he not born on 12 January 1968 ? See [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], etc. Regards,

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 [7] clearly states 1970.

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

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)[reply]

In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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[reply]

That doesn't appear to be on there now. tedder (talk) 04:30, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
