My post number #36,000 is dedicated to the greatest rap group of all time, the Wu-Tang Clan!SUUUUUUUUUUUUU! My original plan was to post this on November 9th because
the greatest rap album of all time dropped on that date but I underestimated my own postwhoring skills lol... Anyways here's my tribute to the Wu-Tang Clan!
The RZA has always been one of my biggest inspirations and he's the biggest reason why I became a hiphop head back in 1997. Much respect to Prince Rakeem!
Fusion of the five elements, to search for the higher intelligence
Women walk around celibate, livin irrelevant
The most benelovent king, communicatin through your dreams
Mental pictures been painted, Allah's heard and seen
everywhere, throughout your surroundin atmosphere
Troposphere, thermosphere, stratosphere
Can you imagine from one single idea, everything appeared here
Understanding makes my truth, crystal clear
Innocent black immigrants locked in housing tenemants
Eighty-Five percent tenants, dependent welfare recipients
Stapleton's been stamped as a concentration camp
At night I walk through, third eye as bright as a street lamp
Electric microbes, robotic clones
Taking telescope pictures of globe, babies getting pierced with microchips
stuffed inside their earlobes, then examinated
Blood contaminated, vaccinated, lives fabricated
Exaggerated authorization, Food and Drug Administration
Testin poison in prison population
My occupation to stop the innauguration of Satan
Some claim that it was Reagan, so I come to slay men
like Bartholemew, cause every particle is physical article
is diabolical to the last visible molecule
A space night like Rom, consume planets like Unicron
Blasting photon bombs from the arm like Galvatron - The RZA
One of the illest lyricists of all time. GZA is quite possibly the only MC ever who has
never dropped a weak verse and all his songs are full of quotables. GZA's truly a rapper's rapper
Reunited, double LP, world excited
Struck a match to the underground, industry ignited
From metaphorical parables that fertilize the Earth
Wicked n****z come trying to burglarize the turf
Scatting on soft-ass beats, them n****z rap happily
Tragically, that style deteriorate rapidly
Uncompleted missions throwing your best known compositions
You couldn't add it up if you mastered addition
Where I come from, getting visual is habitual
Demonstrate walking on hot coal in rituals
I splash the paint on the wall, form the mural
He took a look, saw the manifestation of it was plural
Rhyming while impaired, dart hit your garment
Pierced your internals, streamlined compartments
Just consider the unparalleled advantage
Of a natural disaster that's impossible to manage - The GZA
The man who single-handedly saved the Clan! Ghostface is one of the most unique MCs ever and nobody has a more impressive discography than Ghost. I've been a huge Ghostface-fan ever since I heard Supreme Clientele for the first time and that album is still my most played album ever. Ghostface never disappoints!
Yo, I play hard for nine innings, dressed in fine linens
Cause pussy is the best next thing besides winning
All the positions I've been in, couldn't explain how I'm living
My vision, my intuition has risen, here take a listen I'm hitting
Up to bat with precision, see 'em back in the kitchen
Slinging crack to these pigeons, for the fact that I'm driven
My linebackers is bitchin', send you packin' good riddance
Trapped in this prison, where snakes and rats are forbidden
Keep my gun hidden, n****s is bitches signing petitions
And they providing convictions, see I survived through the system
Under the livest conditions, my riders ride on a mission
For snitching, you get your back blown, right out of commission
You'll be missing like them crazy Christians and swimming with all the fishes
Your Mrs. will come and witness your body with hugs and kisses
Now tell me is that nutritious, we party with chips and liquors
Your wizzes is coming with us, for real kid they bought me rizzes
The difference is this is business, big biscuits, big figures
We click on religious n****s for acting too superstitious
Move cause the group is vicious, shoot if you want your wishes
To blow, see Trife in the Bentley with a group of bitches - Ghostface Killah
When I heard Triumph for the first time back in 1997 I was blown away by Deck's classic verse. 13 years later that verse is still my favorite rap verse and I doubt that I will ever get tired of it. Deck never dropped a truly great solo album but when it comes to guest spots and group songs, that man is a motherfucking beast. I BOMB ATOMICALLY!
I bomb atomically, Socrates' philosophies
and hypothesis can't define how I be droppin these
mockeries, lyrically perform armed robbery
Flee with the lottery, possibly they spotted me
Battle-scarred shogun, explosion when my pen hits
tremendous, ultra-violet shine blind forensics
I inspect you, through the future see millenium
Killa B's sold fifty gold sixty platinum
Shacklin the masses with drastic rap tactics
Graphic displays melt the steel like blacksmiths
Black Wu jackets queen B's ease the guns in
Rumble with patrolmen, tear gas laced the function
Heads by the score take flight incite a war
Chicks hit the floor, diehard fans demand more
Behold the bold soldier, control the globe slowly
Proceeds to blow swingin swords like Shinobi
Stomp grounds and pound footprints in solid rock
Wu got it locked, performin live on your hottest block - Inspectah Deck
The godfather of mafia rap, what more can I say? Only Built 4 Cuban Linx might be the illest rap album of all time but what really makes Rae a special MC is the sequel. Nobody believed that The Chef would be able to drop a worthy sequel to OB4CL but... Rae fucking did the impossible and dropped another classic. Don Raekwon
I sat around the older Gods while they built bomb n****z up
Felt like Saddam tapping on my hand, listen up
Get your money, get brains and big n****z up
Swiss look forward to millions n**** live shit up
I sat back in my zone, bone lit, I get your throne lit
n****z I loaned, they ain’t gave me shit
Fuck that family shit, you don’t see us it’s for no reason
I’m in the crib, wifey saying be easy
I’m all high in my motion, money make me want to grab toasters
Spray down Wall street, put up posters
Yelling heterosexual I’m back, you can’t take nothing from the kid
I’m still getting money I’m stacked
Go whatever for the Peso, Rap Julio Iglesio
Sniff the eight in ya face and stay lacio
My ear game, popping in my gear game, fear fame
Rearrange your jaw faster than you hear trains
Test any mortal, call ‘em, I’m in the hallway hitting raw autumn
Meet me in the lobby n**** see my daughter
And she ‘gon spray for her dad
Call a brother later, get that money out the wall, daddy got bagged
I’m going to jail for something real, can’t do me nothing, still
can’t compare me to no rap n****, fuck a deal
I get to hurting n****z, murking on n****z
It’s just the network I come from, Ringz now kid reveal ‘em! - Raekwon
Mista MEF! Who doesn't love Method Man? Nobody's more charismatic than Mef and his voice, flow & wordplay are fucking unstoppable
Man, ya'll n****s ain't shit to us, still a pistol bust
Split your melon like I split the Dutch
Got a lot of piff to puff, and I ain't come for fisticuffs
Or for the cop that wanna clip the cuffs
Man, is Staten in this bitch or what?
Don't get it twisted, we, twist it up and even mixed with dust
See these fans can't resist the rush, they Wu-Tang for life
Scarred for life, they can't forget the cuts
Got a whole line of classic joints, and while you at it
Pass the joint, let's push this music past the point
Of no return, til it crash and burn, down the ashes
Then placed inside Ol' Dirty Bastard's urn
When it's my time to go, for sure, ya n**** goes to war
What you think I brought these soldiers for?
To send shot, like forget me not, at any n****
Respect, bitch, that figure they gon' get me got - Method Man
Ooh baby I like it raw! After getting into the Wu, ODB soon became my favorite member. I had never heard of anything like ODB: he was weird, funny, charismatic, raw and fucking batshit crazy. Truly one of the most unique entertainers I have ever seen. R.I.P ODB!
Yo...! I come with that ol' loco style from my vocal
Couldn't peep it with a pair of bi-focals
I'm no joker! Play me as a joker
Be on you like a house on fire! Smoke ya!
Crews be actin like they gangs, anyway
Be like, "Warriors! Come out and playiyay!"
Burn me, I get into shit, I let it out like diarrhea
Got burnt once, but that was only gonorrhea
Dirty, I keep shit stains in my drawers
So I can get fzza-funky for yah
Murder, taste the flame of the Wu-Tang RAHH!
Here comes the Tiger verse Crane!
Ow, be like wild with my style
Punk! You playing me, chump, you get DUMPED
WU! Is comin THROUGH! At a theatre near YOU!
And get funk like a SHOE! What?! - Ol' Dirty Bastard
Masta Killa is like a ninja, invisible but deadly. He did kill quite a few verses back in the 90s but it was his amazing debut album No Said Date that made me a fan. I will always have love for Masta for dropping a true Wu-classic
Homicide's illegal and death is the penalty
What justifies the homicide, when he dies?
In his own iniquity it's the
Master of the Mantis Rapture comin at cha
We have an APB on an MC Killer
Looks like the work of a Masta
Evidence indicates that's it's stature
Merciless like a terrorist hard to capture
The flow, changes like a chameleon
Plays like a friend, and stabs you like a dagger
This technique attacks the immune system
Disguised like a lie paralyzin the victim
You scream, as it enters your bloodstream
Erupts your brain from the pain these thoughts contain
Movin on a n**** with the speed of a centipede
and injure - ANY MOTHERFUCKIN CONTENDER! - Masta Killa
Frankly speaking U-God has always been my least favorite Wu-member. However, if he was in any other rap group he would be way more respected. Wu-Tang Clan is full of talented MCs so it's really fucking difficult to stand out if you're just an above average MC. That's why I'm happy that U-God finally got some props after dropping Dopium which is one of the best post-2000 Wu-solos
United Nations, gun fire style patient
Formulatin rap plural acapella occupation
Conquer land like Napoleon, military bomb fest
We want sanitary food, planetary conquest
Thug peoples on some hardco' body shit
Get your shit together 'fore the fuck Illuminati hit
Dreams is free in escape of sleep
For a fool, peep jewels, keep tools for tough time
The rule of rough mind, elevate, stay behind
The sun gotta shine, keep on, cremate
the whole Babylon, times up, move on
Kings on your pawn, checkmate, no fakes
Approach through the gate, case closed
Things get froze, when it comes time, chosen ones
were holding guns, we take flight with no fright
and attack, never fear cause our words is clear
What's been done can't be undone Son, we can't care
Cause the last days and times are surely here
Snakes and flakes get blown, by the righteous ones
Divine minds bind, we unified as one
Half of black hope, we half broke, smoke a bowl of weed shit
Our everlastin answers stay flyin over Egypt - U-God
WU-TANG FOREVER!
