Yo, Is You Cheo? (feat. Cheo Hodari Coker) - (Skit)

Lyrics

The first time I finally got with Wu,
 nobody really even knew what they looked like with the exception of,
 you know, that music video that I think
 they made for ten dollars for, for Method Man.
 But the problem was the business of Wu-Tang.
 They missed the photoshoot.
 The only photos they had, I guess, featured them in masks.
 At the time, you know, this is pre-internet.
 If you missed the photoshoot,
 there was no way for a magazine to course correct.
 The magazine came out but instead of these photos,
 everybody had a basic,
 not even like an illustration, but a caricature.
 Raekwon the Chef,
 there was an illustration of
 Raekwon wearing, he's got like a chef hat.
 Ol' Dirty Bastard is pictured with a blow up doll.
 I didn't like 'em but the thing was was I
 completely understood the position that they were put in.
 Without art we would have to kill the story.
 I didn't think the illustrations reflected
 the seriousness of what I had witnessed. '
 Cause musically Wu-Tang was just off the charts.
 I thought it looked corny.
 Some stories turn out great and some stories don't turn out great.
 This was the one I felt was only okay and um, you know, you move on.
 It came out and nothing happened,
 I didn't hear anything from the group.
 First person that I see, Masta Killa walks up.
 I didn't know him at the time.
 And he says, "
 Yo, is you Cheo?" And I said, "
 Yeah." Bam, I get hit in the face.
 He's right 'cross my left eye. "
 That's just to let you know Wu-Tang Clan nothing to fuck with.
 We come real with our shit.
 We ain't no fuckin' cartoon characters."
