I literally sat there with my cousin while fighting shredder and I said, “IS THAT GHOSTFACE?!” And he stopped and listened and said “WTF IT IS!!!” I haven’t enjoyed an arcade game like this since I was a child. Thank you for making me a big ass kid this past week.
Would have been nice if at half health it switched to second half of the song like the boss theme does. I guess maybe if they did, it would have messed up the flow of the music?
@@SilverSkiver na because i'm pretty sure the ding of the bell in the song actually was a note for the sound person in the game to do that. But they just leave the song on loop, which is fine by me
@@DrClawizdead I totally agree with you because while I liked the song used for the second Shredder fight, it's nowhere near as good as this song imho.
Whoever came up with the idea of scrappin with Shredder to a rap beat deserves a gold star. Totally matches the urban street vibe the series always had.
I feel this song rightly demonstrates that Shredder’s threats are seen a challenge to the heroes, and every character has accepted that challenge. Leonardo is proving why he leads the Turtles. Michelangelo is showing that for all his joking, he’s still a master ninja. Raphael has the chance to let off some steam on a big source of frustration. Donatello is using such a simple weapon and his brains to take down the big guy. April is making it clear she will no longer be the damsel in distress she’s been so many times. Splinter is settling the score with the old rival that made him an outcast. And where others may see Shredder as a supervillain, all Casey Jones sees is another criminal that needs to be put in his place. And none of them came to lose.
You thought about this too deep and in the wrong direction. I also dont think you listened to the lyrics at all no offense. Its literally about shredder coming to annhilate the turtles and trash talking them not the other way around. This is 100% a shredder amp up song.
@@BillyReb The first verse is Shredder’s trash talk, yes, but the second part, starting with “Steel faced Foot Clan villains and more,” it sounds more like the Turtles making their reply.
Well, it's no surprise considering the Italian origins of the names of the eponymous turtles! That said, there definitely is some real subtle shade being thrown on a competing pizza franchise to Pizza Hut.
@@crimcrusader8459 Augh its so good. Little Caesars is notoriously known as the cheapest pizza you can get in the country. And Julius Caesar was stabbed like 50 times, to which I can safely assume Shredder shares similar intentions. And, when you factor in the knowledge that TMNT was always backed by Pizza Hut, there's a power-contrast where you can really just immediately feel the way this metaphor dwarves our heroes. But this song just goes SO hard, all you can do is just get even more hyped up.
@@TroyVsTheWorld There is also the specific allusion to Roman history involving the ideological divide between the Populares (Which Julius Caesar is part of) and the Optimates (who had been dominating the Roman republic's political system until the many Roman civil wars ultimately saw their power curtailed). Anyway, I note also that the line that follows after that Little Caesar phrase even subtly mocks their old advertising slogan: "All you stuff your face with is pizza, pizza"
I love how the song starts menacing and cruel-sounding with Ghostface Killah's verse being from Shredder's POV, but then at the halfway point it becomes more hopeful and determined with Raekwon's verse from the turtle's POV.
I played this on drop. Was fucking thrilled as Wu-Tang was huge when I played most of the arcade/ Nintendo titles. I’m an old man now and appreciated both at the time. To see them literally in the same retro style game was a dream come true.
SAME! Was streaming the game on Twitch and started making jokes like "Who hired this bootleg Raekwan!?" and then the credits rolled like "Track by Raekwan & Ghostface Killa" haha! Blew my mind!
About a week before this game dropped I was telling my son who is eight and just had a birthday, about my eighth birthday. My father took me and three of my friends to a go cart track that had a big arcade inside. As soon as we spotted the TMNT arcade we ditched the go carts and my dad began feeding us all quarters for the machine. I have no idea how much my dad had to spend that day on the four of us but he went back and forth to the change machine, drank beer, and rooted us on for more than a few hours that afternoon. If I had to guess I would say it took at least a Hundo for us to finally defeat Shredder. I couldn’t have been happier. All my son talked about was him and I beating this game when it came out. I got it the day it came out and he and I sat and played all the through in a couple hours. Thank god it didn’t cost me what it cost my father to see the final credits. The nostalgia in general topped with the fact I was playing through this game with my son and remembering how exciting it was for me at his age, it just felt good. And just when I thought it couldn’t get any better we make it to Shredder and suddenly I hear Ghost spittin’ about “pizza pizza” and my son immediately recognizes as well because I mean he hasn’t really had any choice in what music he’s taken in thus far in his life. He says “This is Wu-Tang right dad? You’re right they really are the best!” I didn’t expect this track to drop, I didn’t expect my son to recognize as fast as I myself did, and because it was on this game my son has found a respect for these artists that I love. A respect that otherwise may have taken him years to gain on his own if ever. He very likely could’ve chalked it up to some “old head shit” or something. You know how kids are. But Ghost and Rae killed it. They’ve earned a new fan without a doubt. And boy when I heard that shit come in while fighting Shredder I was sent. Somewhere like 92’ or 93’. It felt great. Sounded better. The only problem I had was I needed more. I could’ve stomped foot clan ass with my son and listened to Ghost and Chef for the entire soundtrack. Whoever made this happen. . . PAY THAT MAN! GENIUS GENIUS GENIUS! RIP Dad. And Ghost you’ll always be the greatest as far as I’m concerned. Wu Tang is for the children! Zoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Yo this is a tear jerker in a half! Amazing. Respects to your dad and I can relate I got my 4yr old twins hooked on this game and we bustin ass left n right.
Bro, I really enjoyed reading this story, as a kid I remember the hype this game had in the arcades and now as a father, I can relate to how special it must've been to share this with your son. Your Dad was a real one, RIP to him and so is your son for being able to recognize WuTang by sound alone! TMNT and true hip hop, you're raising him right, cheers my bro! Here's to you, your son and your Pops🍻
Shredder was no joke when he came out with this bumpin. He won’t playing games. This is a true revenge track right here, half of it anyway. I like how it goes from Shredders perspective to the Turtles.
The perspective shift is everything. Music picks up and just energizes the battle. "We're hero's in a half shell going to war!" oh my God they didn't have to go this hard but they did!
As an 80s baby my favorite Toy, Cartoon, Movie and Arcade was TMNT. I grew up to be a hip-hop head with Wu-tang being my favorite group... This is the best shit ever.
To say this song slaps hard, is like saying Bruce Lee’s punches were love taps. This music doesn’t slap. It knocks you unconscious with how beautiful it is. Phenomenal job to all who worked on this game!
this song is GAS. having shredder come out as the true boss of the stage with this banger was so freakin hype. this soundtrack is godlike and was utilized so well, my god
@@carllipsey1497 I love seeing people's stories on how scared they when the unexpected boss shows up sometimes. It's just funny and relatable most times
Somehow i was kinda expecting shredder to pop out after krang. Considering it has happened in the past (namely tmnt the arcade game where you face shredder after defeating krang).
The last thing I was expecting from the Shredder fight was a rap diss track to the turtles. I wish he got some more lines with his verse, but this theme always makes the encounter with Shredder a treat. Definitely the toughest boss in the game, imo.
I like the fact that the beat change when ghostface raps he speaks for the villains and when raekwon raps he speak for the heros and the fact they used to be mortal enemies in real life that's dope 💯 how they set this song up
The moment that beat dropped, my friends and I went completely silent for the duration of the boss fight. All of us were in the zone just for this boss fight.
My first playthrough was with Splinter, and when I reached Shredder, I already liked how personal this felt. But as soon as the bars hit, that just made the moment more hype. Gave me 3rd Strike vibes and more. Even the intro sounded like a classic Wu sample!
When I was playing, Shredder suddenly appears and starts playing this song. All the people here at home came to the TV to watch the epic battle and enjoy the awesome music.
I thought I was hearing things when I thought I heard Ghost rapping during the Shredder fight. Came here to confirm. I can't believe I was whooping Shredder's ass to the W! LOL. Whoever came up with that business decision, give that guy a raise.
Im 35 and LOVING THIS GAME!!! wutang and tmnt growing up was the SHIT for me! , now the younger generations can enjoy as much as i did growing up to this stuff
@@BlameMaxSand which version? And why the TiT? As far as I remember, it doesn't have such shocking moments (except the Rat King boss fight instead of bunch of Pizza monsters).
First time fighting this guy with a full lobby. We started with 3 people we all just randoms, ends with a full lobby. It was awesome. The theme hit hard when one man almost beat 6 people.
My first run up against Shredder hearing Raekwon and Ghostface Killah in the background was something I didn't expect but fighting in the streets of NYC while actually living in NY hit them feels raw. Lol 🤛
If I had a quarter for every game released this year that somehow managed to get a member of the Wu-Tang Clan to contribute to the soundtrack, I’d have two quarters. Which isn’t much, but it’s weird it happened twice.
I was playing this with my roommate, he noticed it first and he's like, that sounds like Ghostface. Then I heard it, I was like woah, that def is Ghost! Amazing game and soundtrack!
Love how the turtles have a wicked theme in the third act to remind you that you're badass Just to give the same privilege to the game's main antagonist. Yeah, Shredder isn't a pushover, but he has a sick first verse in his boss theme. He's THAT good.
love this track so much, as if ghostface makes shredder come with a diss track to the turtles and splinter, then raekwon makes them switch the diss track onto shredder and the foot. absolute gold
I have been a turtle fan for nearly 30 years, this may very well be the best Turtles vs Shredder theme in any show/movie/game I had ever heard. My bro and I got so hype when Shredder jumped down and this started playing during the fight. So epic
This made hit pause on TMNT mid fight, hook up my speakers and run through the house getting the whole family to bop, a true banger that solidifies this as the best and most memorable Turtles game ever!
TMNT and Wutang together! So dope! I was not expecting the track to be at the shredder's fight! They put so much 90s stuff in this game and music, made me so proud of my childhood and time and today kids should know now we were having all this back at that time! Blessed we were! Peace
Especially considering that Turtlemania had been going strong in the late 80s and the early 90s, the latter period in which the Wu Tang Clan rose to prominence!

Shredder came out and said turtles prepare for your end. my revenge will be complete......Dj drop the beat!!!!
drop it
Wu-Tang x TMNT. The mashup that we never asked for but glad we got it.
My first playthrough was with Splinter, and when I reached Shredder, I already liked how personal this felt. But as soon as the bars hit, that just made the moment more hype. Gave me 3rd Strike vibes and more. Even the intro sounded like a classic Wu sample!
"You set me up Shredder! I was NEVER going to assassinate the Grand Master of The Foot! Justice has come for you...Oroku Saki!"
I was doing Leonardo, that bit in the second half about samurai swords on point for the cause was like, "Yes, it knows who's playing." XD
@@Nekufan1000000 "we fly with nunchucks that will tame your crews" are you sure that's Leo?
Holy shit, this song is off the chain. Easily one of the best Boss Themes in a video game.
You know Shredder means business when he comes out to Wu Tang!
"These sick beats will make the perfect backdrop for your demise."
WE MAKIN' IT OUT THE SEWER WITH THIS ONE🔥🔥🔥
The lyrics in this song is dope! Got Ghostface as Shredder and Raekwon as Splinter…
Dunkey - that pesky genius - brought me here
I legitimately thought he was saying kangaroos
When I was playing, Shredder suddenly appears and starts playing this song. All the people here at home came to the TV to watch the epic battle and enjoy the awesome music.
Leave it up to Rae and Ghost to come up with a PG video game song that hits hard.
E 10+ is the ESRB equivalent to PG.
Ninja turtles and hip hop
A badass combination
1:53 "We ain't kangaroos"
Thank god I’m not th only one I thought I was crazy
Man!!!!!!! I was in shredder ass when this song came on. 😂👐🏿u-Tang
Beats the hell outta Vanilla Ice at any rate.
Suge beat the hell outta vanilla at all the rates
hell yea..he beat the hip hop out his ass semt him to rock😂
Broooooo
@@el-kiote Don't forget that he held him over the edge of a building by his feet
I liked Vanilla Ice :)
I thought I was hearing things when I thought I heard Ghost rapping during the Shredder fight. Came here to confirm. I can't believe I was whooping Shredder's ass to the W! LOL. Whoever came up with that business decision, give that guy a raise.
The fire Super Shredder summoned were the leftover bars from this track. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Well done
SICKEST BOSS THEME
This is an absolutely perfect video game moment, bravo to whoever thought this one up while putting together this great game!
"T-U-R-T-L-E Power" has officially been knocked out of the top spot.
Shredder got the Best Boss music of all time.
THEY GOT WUTANG FOR THE TMNT GAME?! 😭
Well, not the whole gang, just Ghostface Killah and Raekwon.
Shredder's entrance was so dope and then the Wu just comes on and starts killing it. 🔥🔥🔥
Man, this shit was so hype when the song came on during the Shredder fight.
Im 35 and LOVING THIS GAME!!! wutang and tmnt growing up was the SHIT for me! , now the younger generations can enjoy as much as i did growing up to this stuff
Having this during the fight was dope ASF
The hiphop tracks in this give me hardcore Madworld/Anarchy Reigns vibes, i freaking love it. The music in this game is awesome!
Mad world. That brings me back.
Did anybody realize it's NOT a Raekwon, Ghostface Killah track?? It's a Raekwon, Cappadonna track!
0:38 that was a close call. They almost said the n word here
This soundtrack is honestly so damn good. Thematic 10/10 as well
Wu-Tang doing a TMNT song
That makes too much sense for it to have taken this long to happen!
When this track hit and I faced Shredder, was one of the most epic moments in gaming history. 10/10.
You must be very naive. Go play Sekiro
@@TheInfantry98 you must be a zoomer, go play turtles in time.
@@BlameMaxSand which version? And why the TiT? As far as I remember, it doesn't have such shocking moments (except the Rat King boss fight instead of bunch of Pizza monsters).
@TheInfantry98 you can play both and be a ninja warrior
First time fighting this guy with a full lobby. We started with 3 people we all just randoms, ends with a full lobby. It was awesome. The theme hit hard when one man almost beat 6 people.
Lyrical assassination. Call the morgue
Feels more like a lyrical massacre to me. I'd call in the tech scavengers also.
My first run up against Shredder hearing Raekwon and Ghostface Killah in the background was something I didn't expect but fighting in the streets of NYC while actually living in NY hit them feels raw. Lol 🤛
Started grinning like mad when this track came on, lmao
I love it. You just don't expect a track like this at all and it's glorious😎
Composer: How much 90s do you want in your 90s Ninja Turtle game?
Director: *Yes*
If I had a quarter for every game released this year that somehow managed to get a member of the Wu-Tang Clan to contribute to the soundtrack, I’d have two quarters.
Which isn’t much, but it’s weird it happened twice.
wait what's the other one
There was another one??
@@conradtokyo7368 The Evil Dead game got Method Man to bust some bars for them
Ghostface killah was on a track on GTA chinatown wars too, also has MF DOOM on it. Weren't made this year but the song slaps.
Aye don’t forget fortnite had C.R.E.A.M on it. I like how they getting into more games/pop culture, they deserve it
I love that sprinkled throughout the the surfing levels we get fun rap and rock, but when Shredder shows up, it’s goes hard.
When Ghostface Killah said "Ask Splinter he know I'm coming with bad intentions"🔥
I was playing this with my roommate, he noticed it first and he's like, that sounds like Ghostface. Then I heard it, I was like woah, that def is Ghost! Amazing game and soundtrack!
I just realized this would basically work as an ERB episode.
“EPIC RAP BATTLES OF HISTORY: SHREDDER! VERSUS! TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES!!!”
When this track came on I got so hyped I did this fight standing up.
This is definitely a villian's theme music
This was such a treat for me when I got to this boss fight. I'm a big Wu fan so I was stoked.
Love how the turtles have a wicked theme in the third act to remind you that you're badass
Just to give the same privilege to the game's main antagonist. Yeah, Shredder isn't a pushover, but he has a sick first verse in his boss theme. He's THAT good.
If you think about it wu tang and tmnt are a match made in heaven.
Honestly, shoulda been the final boss theme instead. It's too good
The final battle is a lot longer, so they probably wanted to keep this on a fight where it only has to play once without looping.
@@frankrizzo9678 simple fix. Once the lyrics end let the instrumental keep playing for the rest of the fight.
This wouldn't fit tbh
The final boss has an "OH SHIT! WE FUCKED" feeling to it
This doesn't match much with it, I do like this theme though.
@@rubyrogers8879 nah, fuck that
@@rubyrogers8879 good point. Plus the name of the final battle theme has a much better name considering the circumstances.
Bruhhhhh!!!! This was instantly one of my favorite boss battles 🔥 I was like "hol' up! Is that ghostface!?"
love this track so much, as if ghostface makes shredder come with a diss track to the turtles and splinter, then raekwon makes them switch the diss track onto shredder and the foot. absolute gold
I have been a turtle fan for nearly 30 years, this may very well be the best Turtles vs Shredder theme in any show/movie/game I had ever heard. My bro and I got so hype when Shredder jumped down and this started playing during the fight. So epic
We ain't come to lose > go ninja, go ninja, go
if anyone in 2022 decided they wanted to make TMNT AMV they literally have a song professionally prepared that will fit any series
just added this to my workout mix
Dope track. Gotta respect the WU!!
That song transition from side-to-side was smooth.
Someone really went and said, "Hey, you know what this TMNT throwback beat-em-up could use? Some Wu-Tang Clan!"
I'm glad that person said it. 😎👍🏾
Shredder be like "I will take my revenge, but first let me destroy you with this epic rap".
This made hit pause on TMNT mid fight, hook up my speakers and run through the house getting the whole family to bop, a true banger that solidifies this as the best and most memorable Turtles game ever!
The soundtrack has no right beeing as good as it is
TMNT and Wutang together! So dope! I was not expecting the track to be at the shredder's fight! They put so much 90s stuff in this game and music, made me so proud of my childhood and time and today kids should know now we were having all this back at that time! Blessed we were! Peace
I mean, the pairing is pretty logical. Seeing as the Turtles do know how to...protect their necks.
Whoever made the decision to have this track made for the boss fight understood the assignment
Especially considering that Turtlemania had been going strong in the late 80s and the early 90s, the latter period in which the Wu Tang Clan rose to prominence!
When this song started playing it was more hype than hearing vanilla ice back in the day when I watched secret of the ooze. This song is fire
Im late to the party but imagined if they did something for Street Fighter 6 because of the urban feel it has now? I think it would be 🔥
Epic Rap Battles of History!!
Shredder! Versus!! TMNT!!!
BEGIN!!!
