How could it be a mistranscription? It sez [HE ACTUALLY SAID THIS] right next to it?

rza explains it in one of his books. i think it comes from some old kung fu movie, although i can't remember specifics and i cannot be bothered looking it up. :D

I would guess that he said "I would think, just being an artist that been in the game for a minute" &c

it's not in the Wu-Tang Manual. is it in RZA's recent bio? I've watched my share of kung-fu movies and never come across this one.

Lathleen:How did you get the name Raekwon the chef?
Raekwon:I use to be a 5 percenter, I went from a 5 percenter to being a Muslim. I had gotten my name from a couple of friends, it came from back in my early days when I was seeking knowledge that I wasn’t able to get out of school at the time. We wasn’t getting a lot learnt from school at the time, they weren’t paying attention to us. I wanted to search for the higher plane of knowledge and I went to that side of it. The nation has taught me a lot.

I just want to know where it comes from since it's such a random word and every other Wu-Tang moniker has some complex story/rationale/explanation behind it. "his friends made it up" doesn't really cut it, no.

people can make up names shakey.

From here:http://books.google.com/books?id=XkCncJ7j744C
Raekwon, who was named after the chef character in old kung fu movies, not only literally cooked very well (' 'He was known for cooking up some really good fish,'' writes RZA [20]), but he also had "flavor," as RZA writes-- "He had the Gumby haircut, the Gucci shoes, and he had the freshest slang of anybody" (21).
― taco al pastorius (Steve Shasta), Friday, 18 March 2011 21:40 (thirteen years ago) link

Random Raekwon anecdote: My parents who are in their mid 70's had a meal at Carmine's last year and sat unknowingly a table away from him and his date. They shared a lovely conversation about life and New York and only found out he was famous after they left when a flabbergasted waitress asked "did you know who that was??!" I died when they told me.
