That entire Liquid Swords album is a classic. All bangers
Facts, it was the perfect combination of RZA’s beats and GZA’s lyrics
Not a skip on there. I still got the Purple Tape as my GOAT Wu project, but I wouldn't be mad at anyone who says Liquid Swords is the GOAT project out of that camp.
ALLLL BANGERS🙌🔥🙌🔥🙌🔥🙌
One of the hardest rap albums out there
Fax
RZA's last line. Protons Electrons Always Cause Explosions. P.E.A.C.E.
Oooooh never noticed that!! 🤯🤯🤯🔥🔥🔥🔥
my fav verse of any track ever, and i def did not ever notice that!
That’s fukin crazy. I never realized that. Heard this countless times too.
Never knew that lol. I’m 36
fuck me i was about to call him out for only getting obola and missing the skill of the rest of the verse im gonna be quite now G
RZA's verse on this song is just insane start to end, probably some of his best lines
and he only picks up obola virus lol
RZAs verse on “and justice for all” up there
“Ayo Camouflage Chameleon”
@@bryangrageda Can’t Forget About His Verse On Impossible.
RZA’s verse on the AZ’s Whatever happened ( The Birth)… nasty
That Stanley (Stan Lee) cup bar is a double entendre, he said Ironman right before 🔥
AYO!! 😭😭🤯🤯
Yooooooooo....I missed that!
@@desertdetroiter428 it’s the Wu bro we’re bound to miss some Witty Unpredictable Talent And Natural Game 😉
@@KingAhmadTv...all of them are 5 percenters & they study lessons... that's why all of them are sharp...
I been missin that for like 10 years bruh
"It ain't hard to see my seeds need God-degree
I got mouths to feed, unnecessary beef is more cows to breed" GZA
Reminds me of a Mac Miller line with all the vowel rhymes
“Absorb it through your pores, the Lord with horns, a world war
Whores are more hors d’oeuvres when it’s a world tour
O’Doyle rules”
That beef line would be a top 5 line of any flows that come out this year
@@shreekarbhattarai2587 Peace! However you have to know what God degree means! If you don’t know your 12 jewels & mathematics; it takes something; from the beauty of the bar sun! Out
Glad to see the younger generation appreciating classic hip hop!✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿👍🏾👍🏾
Rza:
Protons
Electrons
Always
Cause
Explosions
☮️✌🏽
P.E.A.C.E
"Please Educate Allah's Children Everyday / A lesson a day keeps the Devil away" -- RZA
Peace
Peace ✌
They all murdered their verses. Lyrics at the highest quality ever! Ever!
My mom actually worked with wutang on their second album. She on wit revolution the first song of their second album wutang forever singing backgrounds with popa wu. She also wrote the chorus for RZA”s song tragedy and was singing on the original version. She’s on cappadonnas album hook off and ghostface project cream of the crop. Her name is SAY wonda woman. I don’t think it’ll ever really sink in for me she’s worked with arguably the greatest hip hop group of all time. Hopefully they cast her in the series since season 2 is coming out. It wouldn’t be for a few more years though before they get to that second album.
Wu revolution*
SHE DID THAT SINGING ON WU REVOLUTION?
That was my favorite part
@@3236corey yes sir that’s her 🙏🏽 so proud of her to this day. They lowballed her and only wanted to get her publishing for 25k, she got dozens of notebooks so a lot of the work she did was buried. Music industry grimey
Legendary: Bad ass song with a bad ass beat with bad ass lyrics. I love Rza here more than anywhere else. So many historical references. The transition from rough, loud, powerful Rza to calm, collective Gza is fabulous. Top track forever. Period.
Yeah Bobby Steels has the premium verse on it hands down. Nasty nasty.
@@s.salazar6364 Killah Priest then maybe Gza then Rza.
I love " Beneath the Surface " by GZA
Bob Digi the King 👑! U can see the weakness of a man thru there Iris
This verse is ny fave Rza verse
I always appreciated that RZA would often let the instrumental run at the end of songs so listeners could add their own verses. Also, the sample on this song is from a Japanese not Chinese film. The sample is from the movie, Shogun Assassin, which is the American edit of the first two movies in the film adaptation of the popular Lone Wolf and Cub manga, about a fugitive Samurai and his baby son.
One of my all time favorite movies💯💯💯
Great movie
@@666blackcarbon9 Read the Lone Wolf and Cub Manga...EPIC.
Great explanation
90s hip hop always let the beat ride at the end
They read books. You can tell they read books because of 1) their vocabulary and 2) their imagination. If you read you expand both. Don't judge a book by its cover.
Always felt this song in particular was one of the greatest hip hop songs of all time .
Me too!
🎯💯
Facts.
Me too, plus I was in high school when it dropped and it brings me back. I remember searching for the kung-fu movie that they sample at the beginning of the track at a local video store and finding it. Gold!!
It’s definitely up there no doubt
In the mid '90s there was an Ebola outbreak in Africa and they made a movie around that time called Out Break starring Dustin Hoffman fun fact Killah priest's verse was a diss to everyone on this track LOL
tell me more about the diss bro, you got me intrigued over here
@@timboslice5351 Tim Hansen priest said in a interview that they was snapping on him in the studio when they were recording this track he wasn't saying nothing back so he decided to write an entire verse going at them that's it he said it was all in fun nothing serious.
@@marvamaxwell4124 thx man
@@timboslice5351 no doubt
I heard that , on his podcast . I had to go back and listen .after ive heard this song so many times.
Listen to assassination day- ghostface killah
Thats a monsta
yesss
Fuckin right. Wu 4 life
People sleep they don't know about shaolin.....
Winterz wars
Kills Priest “HEAVY MENTAL” Must listen. Could be one of the greatest writings ever.
I see you are a man of culture.
An underrated classic indeed, along with:
The pillage: cappadonna
Silent weapons for quiet wars: killarmy
The last shall be first: Sunz of man
I really Like that whole album One my Favorite is Killiah’s Theme
Handz down pure craftsmanship
Atoms to Adam 🔥🔥
Wu-Tang Clan perfected Hip Hop lyrics
Wu-Tang is not HipHop !?!?!?
Please do ur homework .
@@dr.johndoe1603 I didn't say they ARE Hip Hop.... I said they PERFECTED Hip Hop lyrics. Plz read carefully.
ODB said Wu-Tang is for the children he's right rza said I was telling Shorty like
Yo Shorty, you don't even gotta go to summer school
Pick up the Wu-Tang double CD
And you'll get all the education you need Goat 🐐
Wu Tang Forever Album is school in session for sure.
Duel of the Iron Mic is probably my second favourite liquid swords track after 4th chamber, so I'd recommend
Mine too!
Labels....made you think about the music industry. Straight 🔥
Deck verse
"Why is sky blue,why is water wet..why did Judas rat while Jesus slept"...ghost face💥💥💥
Duel of the Iron Mic - Gza, Masta Killa, and Inspectah Deck
@@Leo-xw8qd no doubt! No way I should've forgot to mention him!
Ebola virus was out YEARS prior to this song
Now imagine being a kid growing up to this and similar style music. Now your over 40 and can’t find anything new that hits like this.
I’m 17 and love 90s music way better than now.
I grew up listening to this. I remember so vividly how we got put onto this song. We had a big ass speaker at the skatepark and some dude asked us if we had wu tang. We had never heard of that name before. First song he plays is 4th chamber. We were never the same after! I made so many of our skate videos to wu tang because of that random ass tweaker who showed us GZA. The times have changed but there just isn’t any rap that really hits this deep. Wu tang spits real shit, now its all about real shit disguised in raps talking about drugs, girls, and guns. People just don’t wana hear it anymore.
Facts! Imagine being over 50 (damn near 60) feeling the same way!
I like the 90s , nowadays Ice J J Fish is my fave
Young Bro The video is even crazier, Rza was dropping knowledge about colonization and biological warfare in his verse.
Listen to gza on killa hills 10304. He says my man Muhammad from Afghanistan grew up in Iran nigga run a Neighborhood news stand, a wild middle eastern bomb specialist, recruited at the age of 11 to be a terrorist. He put bombs in bottles of champagne so when niggaz pop the cork niggaz lost half they brain.
WU-TANG IS THE FUTURE!...TOLD YALL BACK THEN. WHEN U SEE THAT "W"...THATS THAT WISDOM! THE TRUTH!
DO THE KNOWLEDGE.✊🏾-SO GOOD TO SEE U ENJOYED YOUNG BLOOD. REAL RAP. REAL-.. WU-TANG 4EVA SON.
PEACE TO DA GODS AND DA EARTHS!
Fist time I saw Wu in Manchester about 13 years ago I thought the place was going to cave in when they did this song. The whole place erupted
Lots of rewinding and concentration involved with the WU. Their rhymes are like a tangled ball of wool that you have to carefully unravel.
Facts
To be honest the wu is notorious for dropping bars that make you say hold up rewind that
Not really..... You just have to be familiar with the lexicon.....
Especially RZA and GZA, man. Probably the most powerful cousins in Rap.
more than 25yrs later I still unravel new meanings to ol verses. sheet aint no rap muzik better than 90s rap. nothing will every top it esp WUTANG!
Check out Hellz Wind Staff from Wu-Tang Forever - Deck, Ghostface, Rza, Meth and Raekwon at their best.
i STG Rae spazzed closin it out
@@jarenbraggs1391 true Rae ripped it
Rza ate that track and spat out every member one-by-one.
Rode the beat, but lyrically aced and punish Raekwon, INS (weak), Streetlife, et al.
Hellz Wind Staff IS one of my favorite jointz from the clan! The beat, lyrics, aura, etc etc etc; not to mention my homeboi in the background with the 'soooOOO TRiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii' (or whatever he was crooning) .... Not to mention, that's one of my favorite KunG-FU flicks; HELL'S WINDSTAFF 💥🥋💥
PeAcE to your comment AND, maDD love twards HWANG JANG LEE ✊🏾😜
@@s.salazar6364 ... WHOA!! Inspecta Deck NEVER weak. May even be the most lyrical of the clan. Arguably anyhoos ✨
GZA and Ghost always sound great together!
Rza and Ghost more like IMO. Great duo over the years and Ironman/Supreme Clientele.
Ghost and Raekwon
@@keronwindley4950 no doubt
@@keronwindley4950 that's obvious. But dude is just pointing out that GZA and Ghost are also a good, unexpected pairing.
@@BrotherApexx Facts, and he is right.
"RZA shaved the track, niggas caught razor bumps"...one of the great lines in hip hop history.
BANNED MOVIE "Shogun Assassin" - You must find this movie and watch it before, after and during listening to "Liquid Swordz". Only then will you be truly enlightened by RZA's unrivalled skill, foresight and genius.
You Out Of Luck, Like Two Dogs Stuck!!!!!🐩🥜🐕🦺 That Sh**s Cold
I got my hands on a bootleg copy right after this album came out. The movie is badass!
Indeed
GZA - KILLA HILLS 10304.... YOU HAVE TO GET THE LYRICS GZA WENT CRAZY ON THERE
My man Mohammad from Afghanistan, grew up in Iran, the n1gga runs a neighborhood news stand ...
@@vlverm7096 a young middle eastern bomb specialist initiated at 11 to be a terrorist... smh thats a whole movie bruh
I'll never forget hearing this song for the first time in 1997, right around the time I first started smoking weed with my friends. I grew up in a small town about 20 miles west of Philadelphia and for whatever reason the Wu-Tang Clan and its affiliates permeated our town and so many people were into this music. This song, among others, just resonated so completely because this kind of sound was never heard before and was so powerful because of the deep and heavy beats as well as lyrical content. Hearing the song again and seeing your reaction was beyond satisfying and triggered so much nostalgia and memories. Thank you for sharing this video.
Despite everybody hyping Ghost, Rza and Priest verse....Gza verse completely destroyed this track!!!!
For real, Gza is always best when he closes out shit out, I got a whole playlist of songs where he goes last. Kills it every time. Check “The Monument”, Busta starts, beat flips, Raekwon, beat flips back midway through his shit, then flips again when Gza goes. One of my favorite tracks ever and nobody knows about it cause it was on The W. Criminally underrated bruh.
@@vesuvianvillain Sons are born and guns are drawn/ Clips are fully loaded and then blood floods the Lawn!
Peace! Exactly the God destroyed the track…”Disciplinary action was a fraction of strength; which made truncate the length one-tenth”! That’s unbelievable; seriously..
Of course, GZA is the GOAT.
Legendary song.i had this album in 1995.man i miss them days.word up son
Golden Era !
Goosebumps, I’m having chills running down my spine this whole song is so ill😷
"The only kid I HOLD WEIGHT FOR" Ghostface
Meaning he only hold drugs for himself. Cause he's no sucker
Or is he say "the only man a hoe wait for"? 🧐🤯
That’s interesting, I always heard the only man I hold weight for, then googled the lyrics and it says the only man a ho wait for, which makes sense in the context of him being like he’s the only one a female would wait for. But then I checked the genius annotation and it had all this shit:
~Genius Annotation 9 contributors
Who is the sky-blue Bally kid? That depends on what you think the first line is. Opinion is split between:
A: The only man a ho wait for…
Here Ghostface has the sky blue Ballys and the line becomes classic braggadocio. Ghost has so much mojo that chicks are willing to wait for him while he does a jail bid.
B: The only man I hold weight for…
Here Ghost is recalling his (presumably brief) time in the drug game. The sky blue Bally kid is a connect that Ghost used to deal drugs (hold weight) for, probably back in 1983.
In both scenarios Ghost remembers wearing Tale Lord jeans (also known as Devil jeans). Tale Lord was an early 80s designer brand, popular in New York especially because they were made in Bushwick, Brooklyn. He also mentions them in “In Tha Park”~
I always assumed the "sky blue Bally kid" was Raekwon. Maybe you needed to be there when this song first came out. The two were practically inseparable after the Cuban Linx album. It wasn't far fetched for him to shout out Rae as the partner he would trust.
@@williamperson3577 Ghost is definitely talking about himself
I only had two TAPES in 96. This GZA album and Muddy Waters. I played it constantly probably more than whoever posted the lyrics
GangStarr- code of the streets, - soliloquy of chaos, - just to get a rep, - take it personal, -ex girl to the next girl. YOU HAVE TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And All For Tha Ca$h!
This beat f**ked my head up something serious when I first heard back in 95. I had never heard anything like it…maybe a little bit like some bomb squad sh*t on a public enemy album but this was different. RZA was in the zone at this point. It’s crazy to think about all the music that was LOST when his basement was flooded. Inspektah Deck’s solo album suffered a lot from that, they basically had to redo the entire thing from scratch, and I can’t imagine what else was lost. If you ever made beats, you know how frustrating it is when something doesn’t get saved right or you get a disk error when you try to load it, especially if it was something dope….but RZA lost albums worth of material in that flood. Crazy.
A.d.a.t.'s
I was curious as to what caused the flood in the first place? massive rainfall? busted water pipe? etc.? regardless of cause, that's a damn shame that all of that music was lost 😞
There's a similar story on the making of Public Enemy's Apocalypse 91' album. The Bomb Squad had an album's worth of beats made for that record and some sort of a disk glitch erased everything that they worked on. So they had to try and remember everything they did, which of course was impossible to do. The finished album was still great, although I would kill for a bonus reissue with a second disc of the original beats. You do hear stories every once in a while of music that was long lost that is found on a long-forgotten tape or disk....so who knows? perhaps the same could be said of all of RZA's music that he lost. here's to hoping!
@@furnitureconsortium I believe it was a busted pipe in the basement. I watched the Hulu series and they cover the flood in one episode. RZA goes out for the night and comes back to his basement flooding from a broken sewer line pipe.
It messed me up too real real good 😌 after listening to that joint I went deep the rabbit whole and became a hardcore wu tang fan, I mean s#*t the beats the lines it all came together like pbnj and my head was like 🤯 👐🏻
Ebola wasn't new when you years about it, Ebola was news in 1992
I judge wisely like nothing ever suprise me, lounging between 2 pillars of ivory...
The first pinnacle of rza beats... I will always wonder what could have been if the flood didn't happen
We all do, he lost the OG The Cure album in that flood. Crazy thing is he doesn't remember the arrangement of the samples he used etc other stuff.
@@Kholdstare he never made the cure album. The only time I've heard him speak of it was after Bobby digital, the first one. He said that he could never release the cure because he could never live to the standard of life that was being portrayed. It had nothing to do with the arrangement or samples. He admitted it was the life he lived. He didn't want to be hypocritical
Well damn, then 😆.. we can all admit we want the Bobby Steeles, The Abbott, Rza Erector, meta physical rhyme style those egos portrayed. I really do miss that raw energetic Rza. From 4th chamber, Assassination Day, Tragedy, Impossible, twelve jewls/gems, sun showers to name a few. I know there's more I. I wish we got that rza over Bobby digital honestly. But it is what it's can't argue with facts.
@@Kholdstare Bobby digital was his atler ego. Imagine being in a zone for the period time he was with no outlet other than music... the balance required a Bobby digital.
That Deck album fucking tragic.
You picked a good one, they were unstoppable. The first run of albums all the way through Wutang Forever and Bobby Digital and damn near every Ghost and Killa Priest album!
Nice drop, Masta IC- Mic Geronimo, The Game- Pete Rock, Raekwon, Prodigy (RIP) and Ghost
you are one of the best and underrated reaction channels man fr
Every Wu album is a work of art! The best story tellers in the game.
young blood this proves that wu tang is forever
Wats sad is you just herd this 25year + gem....everytime i hear this..my .mind tingles...errtime
Please do more from this album! 🙌
Swordsman - GZA.
It really displays his talents.
I Gotcha Back - GZA
Storytelling at its finest.
Swordsman is a hela underrated song . He has mad wordplay
Two of my favorites by GZA! Do’em, bruh! 👏👊
Yeah man Swordsman is one of my all time favourite tracks... of any music genre.
Absolute classic shit right there! The whole album is impeccable.
1995 was one hell of a year for rap! I was in 12th grade. This era will never be topped👊🏻
I was a senior in hs as well man.great times indeed
90's was the golden era. Even the movies hit different.
RZA finishes saying "Protons Electrons Always Cause Explosion" taking its first letter it makes PEACE
1:21 His Face says Everything you need to know when that Beat dropped. 😉👍🏼
Oh that's my song... 💓💓 Oh man I remember back in the day that me and my brother, we kept listening to the album (GZA / Liquid Swords). This album is 🔥🔥🔥and a classic 😊....
Liquid Swords stayed in my Walkman for 3 or 4 months straight. It was my first Hip Hop album and it changed my life at the age of 16. After all these years I still listen to it on a regular basis right up there with It Was Written, Hell On Earth and Heavy Mental
That beat drop will forever send chills down my spine.
That head nod when that beat drops!!
It’s crazy I’m 43 and this song still gives the chills when it’s starts
I’m loving your reaction. The fact you took the time to listen to this shows me you are very open minded. Quality is timeless and Wu tang is the supernova of that.
If you want to hear Rza go CRAZY listen to Assasination day- Ghostface killah, it’s on his album but only Deck,Rza,Raekwon and masta killa on tha track
He snaps on 'Duck Seazon' as well as many others, but I concur with 'Assassination Day'; I throw `Wu Gambinos', `Hellz Wind Staff', 'Impossible', 'Whatever Happened (AZ song)', for other Rza big notables. He's elite writer.
@@s.salazar6364 I’ll give u impossible as well ik Ghost had tha standout verse but Rza KILLED IT
Don't forget Tragedy a pre-Wu Tang Forver Rza produced by Tru Master another of their beatsmiths they had under their wings.
Fun fact : Assassination day was a wu feature with no ghost
You are the first reactor mentioning the rock undertone of this track. Props!
I lost it in 95 when I first heard this. Rza tweeked that sound which was first used by Dr. Dre in his production after leaving Ruthless Records. This was one of my favorite tracks on Liquid Swords.
In ancient Africa (Alkebu-lan) before the Arab and European invaded the lands of our ancestors, we used sound frequencies to heal people utilizing music as a tool. That’s why RZA made the proton, electron comment in his verse.
What? Can you explain how one connects to the other?
@@iyaramonk Peace! The Gods always used Protons Electrons Always Cause Explosions (Peace) as an acronym for Peace…The Gods utilize acronyms often based around Supreme Alphabet..
protons electrons always cause explosions = peace he ended his verse w it
he was a fcken genius man
4th Chamber is the best hip-hop song ever!
When that beat hit, I was hooked like a fish
I grew up and lived listening to all this ish in the 90s bruh...undisputed golden era of Hip-Hop...full stop. Like your videos and the fact that you appreciate this era. Keep up the great work. Peace.
While you on this album, you gotta check out Duel Of The Iron Mic. Then check it out when they perform it live🔥🔥🔥
This was released in late 1995. Dudes were grimy & gritty, and were growing into a sick ass group & cohesive unit.
I was surprised (cause it’s on Hulu) but the history of the Wu Tang clan (not the documentary) - is on its 2nd season already & tells the story of what got them to where they are now.
RZA is the anchor/brains of the entire group & all of them become family eventually. They have also been thru some real sh*t! I stumbled across it recently, so thought I would pass it along. Check it out if you haven’t already. ✌️😏✌️
Yeah I was 16 when it dropped
@@theanagramman7359 Yup yup! I was close to that age too. I was a Junior in HS when my buddy had me listen to C.R.E.A.M. & it my mind 🤯.
It was totally different than anything I had ever heard before (especially the beat). I still don’t think they get enough credit (at least from the masses). Hopefully they will someday soon. 👍
And this is the best rap RZA ever said in history and its futuristic
i always imagine experiencing this for the first time again, felt like a crazy movie experience
It's like a psychological kung fu lesson in lyrical form. Remember I was 16 years old.
One of my favorites on this along with B.I.B.L.E.
Thanks for repping killah Priest. I never listened to him much but he’s awesome and is into some deep thought shit
U finally reacted to this song. It's one of my favorite Hip-Hop songs ever! 🔥🔥🔥 Oh, and as always, really dope reaction again man! 🔥
RZA verse is crazy. They all killed it. When this fist dropped it took the world by storm 💯💯
Ive been listening to this song for damn near 15 years now, ive heard RZA's verse a million times. It just hit me what the last bar is:
Protons Electrons Always Cause Explosions
Electrons
Always
Cause
Explosions
"PEACE"
Wu Tang Clan is the best
arm leg leg arm head. Allah.. 360 degrees of man and his knowledge.
Ooooh shit. 🤯 And thought I had overstanding the first million times I've heard it
Triumph next!!!!
Its great re-experiencing this stuff through your eyes. Keep doing what your doing.
I grew up on this and it really puts you in a different state of mind! Deep lyrics!
Such a great Album
WU-TANG CLAN AIN'T NOTHING TO FUCK WIT
Killah Priest's verse was a diss towards Ghost, Raekwon, GZA and RZA
Yup
Lyrical fencing.
Ahhhhh at last. Knew you'd get to this at some point.
Lyrical fireeeeeee
Yo I was hyped when I saw you were just now hitting 4th Chamber, I assumed you already did that one and I just hadn’t found it in the list yet. Since this came out when I was in high school this track makes me ready for war.
In fact when I went into the army around 97 I heavily incorporated Wu-Tang and Boot Camp Clik music into my platoon at basic training. People who hadn’t even been listening to rap got down with that shit, we made cadences (marching songs) based on it, songs representing our individual squads, and when I got transferred my platoon got together and made a song dedicated to me on that last day, stomping on the ground for beats and everything just to show how much they loved that shit. Wu-Tang is universal.
Lovin your reactions especially when I see you really feelin it you get that “this shit is NASTY bruh” look on your face. I’m like fuck yeah.
Real talk back in the day there was a distinction between the lyrical "MC" and the entertainment "rapper." Emcees prided themselves on vocabulary, word play, metaphors, and seeds of knowledge they planted in the rhyme.
Killah Priest was supposed to be an original member of the Wu but he was sleep in the studio when it came time to record Mystery of Chessboxin. Master Killa was awake so he got the green light to anchor the joint. The rest is history.
I love Killah Priest, but Masta Killa is more Clan material.
@@kingshawukee I disagree. Priest would have added another degree of diversity to the core group. His lyricism is levels above MK so he would have definitely stood out. MK is a beast, don’t get me wrong, but he’s somewhat the “forgotten member” of the Wu. No way Priest would have been.
@@TripSe7en_77 I see what yoy're saying. And in no way am I ssying that KP isn't as good as Masta Killa or othe Clan members, but I don't think he fits with them as well IMO.. He is perfect for Sunz of Man....again, IMO.
@@kingshawukee that’s only because we know of them from and are accustomed to hearing them in their respective groups. But we can agree to disagree.
Found you late but I'm here for all your content. Truly appreciated
Dat facec you made when you first heard the beat! Same face when I heard it back in the mic 90s !!!! I probably played this song 4-5 times over and over!
Killah Priest admitted that he was sneak dissing ghost, rae and rza in this verse bc they had been fucking with all him all night.
Facts
Damn I didn’t know that
I'd recommend killah priest "magnificent interview" u don't have to make a video but check it out regardless
Just wanted to point out, the intro is from a Japanese series called lone wolf and cub.
"Stand up
You outta luck like two dogs stuck
IRON MAN BE SIPPIN RUM OUTTA STANLEY CUPS!"
It's been damn near 30 years and I still get stupid hype every time I hear those bars. That's just too gotdamn hard of a line.
25 years ago I was 15 years old hearing this song for the first time and it blew my mind. And 10 years later I got a Wu-Tang symbol tattooed on my leg to symbolize my youth. That era of hip-hop is defined by lyrics and a style that no one has been able to copy ever again.
Hopefully nobody does.. They tried to copy Bone Thugs speed and that ended becoming that mumble rap shit where they aren't even rapping anymore.
Stop playing Homie! This ain't yo first time hearing this joint.
30 yrs later that beat still 🔥
Also this was my favorite Wu solo album. This track in particular was the catchiest IMO.
my favorite line : woofers thump, tweeters hiss like air pumps, rza shaved the track niggas caught razor bumps
Welcome to the next level King...............Showing my age, but WU was the soundtrack to my highschool years......WU had EVERYBODY fucked up.....people who aint even like Hip-Hop fucked wit WU.....IYKYK............WU FOREVER...SUBSCRIBED........
This whole album ages well like wine…in 41 now and i first had this shit on tape…as i got older and had more life experiences the words and rhyme patters made more sense and clicked. Like a never ending life lesson.
You should check the video. It has Shadownboxin and 4th Chamber in one video.
really dope to see the younger cats not just bumping classic ol skool RAW RAP MUZIK but pumpin it like it just dropped yday ahah I remember hearing ish 1st time in 90s maaaaan it got me hooked!! then i revisited all the 90s rap when i hit 25 like 2007. its now 2022, and more than 90% the musik i listen to till this day is still rap from 90s (and early 2000's). Lotta dope was used in the creation of the best rap muzik to date. WUTANG4EVA!!!
My favourite Rza verse
”Ayo camouflage chameleon
Ninjas scaling your building no time to grab your gun they already have your wife and children
A hit was sent from the president to raid your residence because you had secret documents and evidence" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Been listening to this since the day it dropped. One of my go to albums. And your right...that beat drop🔥✌
🙌🏾
Keep em comin bro!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
