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

First time I finally got Wu-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 Method Man

But the problem was the business of Wu-Tang

They missed the photo shoot

The only photos they had that, I guess, you know

Featured like them in masks

At the time, you know, this is pre-internet

If you missed a photo shoot

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

Where he's got like a chef's hat

Old 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, um

Reflected the seriousness of what I'd witnessed

'Cause musically, Wu-Tang was just off the charts

I thought it, I thought it looked corny

Some stories turn out great

Some stories don't turn out great

This was one I felt that was only okay

And, um, you know, you move on

It came out, nothing happened

I didn't hear anything from the group

First person that's, 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, right cross, right to my left eye

"That's just to let you know

Wu-Tang Clan ain't nothing to fuck with

We come real with our shit

We ain't no fucking cartoon characters"
