Interview

So what happened last week after the Yellow Jackets interview done by $paceman? Seems some information was either misinterpreted or we were ill informed. More in question was their affiliation to Wu or their status within the Westcoast Killa Beez. What were the fans meant to assume? Out of nowhere the Yellow Jackets were featured on the latest Killa Beez compilation The Swarm 3: Pollen",  on a song called "Roll with the Killa Beez", Christ Bearer was interviewed as part of our Killa Beez series and spoke about his new group the Yellow Jackets, which also features Armel The Great. The questions started coming in and Wu-International decided to get hold of another member to find out more about the group. Last week's guest was $paceman, who broke down the group's history, affiliation and so on. It would seem the Y'Jz have found their place within the West Coast Killa Beez among the rest of the artists we have interviewed so far. However some information received in regards to the group were disputed; mainly YJ'z status within the KGB, and $paceman's connection with the Black Knights. This is all so important as a lot of groups claim affiliation when they have no cause or connection with the Wu.

Pretty simple: it's a known fact that only the generals can officially initiate anyone into the Wu-Tang Killa Beez gang, a role that has been mainly or mostly handled by the RZA. Then there are others like Divine and say Mook just to name a few who are also known to have recruited members into the family tree with RZA's permission or blessing. As broken down by Cilvaringz, RZA and the generals are Gold status: The Generals. Anyone else that comes in via these generals gets Silver status, and is known as a Killa Bee. So for example RZA introduced the likes of Black Knights, Northstar, Killarmy, Sunz of Man, Solomon Childs, Royal Fam, CCF Division etc into the family.
Now anyone else that comes under or via Silver is known as the Bronze status, and is also a Killa Bee or what most fans called Wu Fam, and the Bronze status  needs the blessing or approval again of the Abbott. So Bronze Nazareth for example had to go through Cilvaringz and got approved by the RZA to become an affiliate. Black Knights brought in the likes of Committee, Dexter Wiggle, Indovizualz and so on with the blessing of the RZA, and the list goes on.

When groups under silver gets the approval of the silver members who they are under, they need to get passed on to RZA  who has the final say to grant them the permission to rep that "W". What happens in between: that's where the confusion starts  and this  was probably  the case with Yellow Jackets or the most likely explanation of how and why the information received last week was wrongly interpreted. Just because a member of the group is official does not make the group or the individual members official and vice versa. Take Stone Mecca for instance, the group is not necessarily official under RZA but each individual member of the group are not necessarily official outside of Stone Mecca as a soloist except for the leader Tru James, Confusing isn't it?  To keep it simple, any official stamp has to go through RZA or the generals.

Wu-International had to get back in touch with the leader of the Yellow Jacket movement; Christ Bearer for the final part of the Yellow Jackets interview under the West Coast Killa Beez series to correct and set the records straight once and for all. Expect a detailed breakdown of the Killa Bee Gang East West and worldwide some time in future from Wu-International to squash more of the myths and assumptions as to who and what makes a Wu-Tang affiliate, Enjoy!!!


I like to say thanks first and foremost for taking the time to answer these questions, highly appreciated, and will also point out that nothing will be altered, edited or changed when this is published online.

Wu-International: There are some confusion to some info we got from our last interview with Spaceman in regards to Yellow Jackets being part of the West Coast Killa Beez, Can you please verify and clear this for us?
Christ Bearer: The Y'J's are still under construction, meaning they are still going through the rigorous training of the Abbott by the way of me. One could say that the only way to the father is through the son.

Wu-International: The confusion was also due to the fact that Yellow Jackets were included on the Swarm 3: The Pollen project and interestingly on a song called "Roll with the Killa Beez" are you are saying they are not official even though they are your group?
Christ Bearer: No there are not, even though it is still my group, I am the only one official for now. The song "Roll with the Killa Beez" was changed to that as the the first title "Roll with us" was already used. iIt featured Armel, Jihad, Scratch, Ram, Shadow and Supreme. Shout out to Benny and Voodoo.

Wu-International: We have been covering the West Coast Killa Beez series and most of the new entrants to KBG on the West Coast has been mainly through Black Knights, what other groups/artists under you are officially part of the KBG?
Christ Bearer: You have to wait and see, and for the records nobody in the Yellow Jackets have ever been down with the Black Knights in whatever levels except for me and Meko as we have been down with them and they with us, and we are still down to date and forever. Shout out to the Rugged Monk, Crisis tha Sharp Shooter, Warcloud, Meko, and the Rza and the rest of the Wu Killer Bees and Clan, R.I.P. to Doc Doom and long live the emperor, long live Wu.

Wu-International: From our last interview with Spaceman, it seems the Yellow Jackets were officially Killa Beez, and he said he was riding with the Knights, why would a member of your group claim affiliation if not affiliated?
Christ Bearer: Simple misunderstanding

Wu-International: This leads me to ask what the status of 71Raw are within the Killa Bee Gang as they were put under your wings by RZA some time back, are they official now?
Christ Bearer: Same situation as above, when put on by Rza it could take a moment, when brought by anyone else to the god it could take from a moment up to a thousand years, yet they are both on their way if they stay righteous.

Wu-International: Thanks for clearing all that up, there seems to be a lot of people who claim Wu-Tang affiliation these days and are not even linked, what are your thoughts on this?
Christ Bearer:  None anymore, I cant keep wit the loads, just mine.

Wu-International: So how did yellow Jackets come about, Spaceman said it was yours and
Armel's idea?  

Christ Bearer: 
I was told by the god Rza some good advice and I acted on it. I had a group called Black Box that I put on hold for this movement called Yellow Jackets.

Wu-International: Black Box was your rock group/project?

Christ Bearer:
Yes

Wu-International: There were indications from our previous interview with Spaceman that you and Armel are the leaders of Y'Jz?

Christ Bearer:
Thats absurd, being the one and only official Killer Bee in the group I of course created the movement.

Wu-International: Armel is somewhat official too being GZA's student and part of Coins and Population click with Sunz of Man, Royal Fam etc, are you saying he is not official or just not the one responsible for the formation of the group?

Christ Bearer:

Wu-International: How did you go about rounding up the soldiers or members of the Jackets?
Christ Bearer: I went to Venice Beach, Passadena, Long Beach, L.A, recruiting and a lot came to me over 30 MC's, everyone had to knowledge the one God Allah, respect Rza as the god and me as the one in control of the movement I created.

Wu-International: For the sake of accuracy, can you please tell us the actual amount of the members as well as names of the members?
Christ Bearer: Not yet since Rza did bless me with my own group to charter as a member I will not reveal who all thirteen truly are till later and there will be surprises.

Wu-International: So what would you say is the difference between Y'Jz and Northstar apart from one being official?
Christ Bearer: The numbers and Meko

Wu-International: So what's good with the Yellow Jackets as far as albums go, is the group working on something and when is that coming out?
Christ Bearer: Yellow Jackets album is on the way also.

Wu-International: You also mentioned the female associates to Yellow Jackets called Pink Jackets, can you please tell us more about this group?
Christ Bearer:  As far as the rest there are only 2 Pink Jackets and their names are Mary and Mary Magdaleen.

Wu-International: Some fans would say you should focus more on Northstar or your solo, is there any reason you have gone on to form these groups?
Christ Bearer: The Northstar is still and forever more up and running, peace to Meko, and my solo is being worked on and filming kung fu movies as we speak on the Wu mountain in Ohio with my Wu fam.

Wu-International: So when can we expect Northern Lights?
Christ Bearer:  It's dropping 2011, Northstar - Northern Lights.

Wu-International: You said you are shooting a kung fu video in Ohio with your Wu fam, who are they and what's the movie about please?
Christ Bearer: We are shooting several, we know for now just Wu fam members, others will follow.

Wu-International:  Thanks for the answers, anything else you would like to add on that's not covered already?
Christ Bearer:  Peace and blessing its been a pleasure as always. Long live the Emperor, and  long live Wu!

Thanks
