The MGM 05. Severe Punishment 06. Hellz Wind Staff 07. The City 08. For Heavens Sake 09. Cash Still Rules 10. Impossible 11. Second Coming (outro)
@@TorinoTheScientist nah man.... u left out a lot of songs. an album like wu tang forever is the kind of album that you can let the intro play cause even the intro is classic... little ghetto boy? projects? nah yo u left out mad songs. i can understand if u just like those the most but u said that those songs taken away from the rest is how u get a dope album.... ur wild as hell!
Forever was the last decent Wu album but doesn't compare to all releases that came before it....the first ODB, Raekwon, GZA, Ghostface albums...as well as the first Wu.
you got it backwards lmfao, shrooms, lsd, dmt, and just knowledge of self is how you write shit like this, dust may give you a dualistic perspective on it too but its not good for you like the other drugs are
A combination of mind-expanding drugs, mind-expanding philosophy, and mind-expanding science is needed to think on this level. At least 2 of the 3 are needed to even understand the words
This dude (RZA) doesn't get enough props as a producer, at all. He is siiiiiick!!!! One of my fav 5 songs of all times!!!!!! Listen to what he's saying!!!!!!!!!

So ill.... I remember back in like maybe 2002? My friend introduced me to this girl and hes like she's a bigger RZA fan than you.... her first question was what's your favorite song and I said Sunshower lol... she never heard of it lol but made sure she wrote it down to look up ....
"Allah is God, always has been, always will be, you can travel every square inch of the planet and still be 93 million miles away from the Sun, until you realize you and the Sun is One." Deepest lines I have ever heard in 25+ years of listening to hip hop.
I miss this music so much.. not necessarily wu, but hip hop like this with heart and talent w/ mad intelligent lyrics....why does everything nowadays have ZERO substance ZERO heart ZERO effort? It is REALLY fuckin sad..
I think that when we revisit something later on in life and discover a new meaning, it becomes a greater meaning than what originally drew us to the original meaning.
Funny, after searching for 'RZA' this was the first actual track to come up. For this track to be representative of The RZA summed up? I could live with that..
Wu-tang forever double cd is one of my favorite albums of all time. Why was this song only released on the European version? Why haven’t I heard this until now? TH-cam recommendations sometimes do actually lead to something relevant.
Jpmd3000 I was just showing this to my girl and explaining that I bought this cd when I was a kid a remember this song was my favorite, when I download on Apple iTunes it doesn’t include it on the album. 🤔🤭🤫🤥🖕🏼✊🏼♥️
We had it in New Zealand. Can't believe now its not on Wu Forever on spotify and can't get an LP with Sunshower? Why did RZA keep this track as a bonus only?
it came out on a 12" promo before Forever dropped. It was a B-side with the a-side being Deadly Darts.. another track that did not make Forever along with Recreation 96. the Latter was on The Hits as a bonus
just dropped pac from my top five and added rza what a lyrical genius would've loved a song with him pun kool g rap and rakim and raekwon but I feel like that would be to lyrical for this world to handle
Right Now it's Tuesday... 27th of October 2020... One Week Before the American Presidential Election... and this Masterpiece is still very valid. Wu Tang is Forever 👐🏾
"Releasin thermonuclear heat that burns you firmly/ and permanently upon this journey/through the journal of the book of life/those that took a life without justice will become just ice."
2 deep for most of the masses instead of headphones its a guillotine and a severed neckbone shattered glass screen you in the deadzone/me I'm the light at the end of the night hip hop elements /staying relevant rhyming with intelligence just for the hell of it/give me a mic n ill kick it off the top old school my life aint gansta but I still spit it kool n my skills aint limited to a rhyme scheme/I got 2 tech1200s to rock the party when I step on the scene/boombap you could catch a slap for that nawmean fresh like the blue n cream BOOM/get with this or get with that/I aint biting yo dj bring that beat back.........what ever what ever n it don't stop.
You'd be better off with Beethoven if you want to increase his intelligence. It's proven scientific fact. Without the kid being able to understand lyrics, it won't have the same effect.

Lyrics:-
Yo... this song is...
Aiyyo Dunn this song is called Sunshower
Cause we approachin the final hour
You know I ahh all I can say to my brothers and sisters right now
Is stay close to your families, and all your loved ones
Cause this globe is about to explode with hatred
They killin for pennies, knahmsayin?
Peace to the Gods, we got a heavy job... yo, yo
Trouble follows behind a wicked mind, 20/20 vision
Of the prism of light but still blind
Because you lack the inner, every sinner
Will end up in the everlastin winter of hellfire
Throw on this mix just picks your third eye out
You cry out your words fly out, and sounds die out
You remain unheard, sufferin eternally, internal external
Along with your wicked fraternal from generals to colonels
Releasin thermonuclear heat that burns you firmly
And permanently upon this journey
Through the journal of the book of life
Those who took a life without justice
Will become just ice ice ice
It's been taught that your worst enemy couldn't harm you
As much as your own wicked thoughts
What devils fought we wrought, and let's annoint
Now you're bein persecuted by that universal court court court
Iron hell with the strong blend of rape and blend of sandal
With rose petals and jasmine, as men use talismans
Burn some incense, chantin witchcraft to reach high dimensions
I'm convinced, Allah is God always has been always will be
You could travel every square inch of the planet Earth and still be
Ninety-three million miles away from the sun
Til you realize you and the sun is one, like the knowledge
Know the ledge to where your heart is
Or fall off into the internal hell that's uncharted
Light travels at the rate of 186,000 miles per second
Through time and space, until it reach a target
And once we're freed of darkness, and show em where the path
From which the Red Sea was parted, into these straight
At the narrow gate, but wide is the road to destruction and hate
What you thought life was a sport? A game?
One hundred years short, know the soul is immortal
Walk through many portals, and those who go astray
Will pay a judgment day, and these few years of wicked bullshit
Ain't worth the eternity inside a sulfur lake
With dragons and snakes, and any pain you can imaginate
Instead, I chose to become a newlywed to the true bread
Of life and fed God Degree of light to my head
It's been said, the fool who sleep is already dead, so I stay awake
And take care of my brother, and uncover reveal the skin
So we can see each other, cause every color
That makes the light appear duller, who's the colored man?
Who's the original, who's the biochemical
Who's the grafted digital, digital, digital, digital
Digital.. yo, yo, yo, yo, yo
Two hundred thousand million atmosphere cubic feet of air we breath
While niggas minds are trapped twenty thousand fathoms beneath
The sea of reality, they can't inhale deep, devils have em
Stagnant, a trapping, the .45 magnum
And shatter bone fragments
Cops love the block you gettin backed up by Dragnet
Thrown into a six by eight steel cabinet
Liftin weights readin ancient tablets, back on the block nobody's havin it
Those who haven't learnt get returned
You freaky ass niggas get burned
Some walk around like they ain't concerned
With the hell goin on inside the world
Why do grown men molest little girls?
Is it because the girl's breast has swelled
To the size of a woman, although she's twelve
The whole world is sick, sick, sick
Trapped up in six, six, six
I started off as a pawn in this marathon of life
Tryin to carry on, wishin I had a bomb to blow up Babylon
A vagabond, tryin to steal sportswear from Paragon
Goin in circles, like a ferris wheel
Undernourished meals I cherish hope, drown inside the sea of life
Use my third eye for a periscope, and take flight to the edge of night
To far heights so dark that even wit a bright light
You couldn't see a spark of light
While others play ball, I recall, me and GZA, Dirty
Hangin in halls, bangin on walls
Kickin rhymes three hours straight with no pause
Boostin from Freeport sunrise to Amityville morgue
Kept razorblade between the jaws, breakin all laws
Started out writin fables to makin beats on lunchroom tables
To wearin long cables that hung down to the navel
So pack some crack and fat sacks of skunk
To funnel the P-Funk, smokin woolie blunts
Dust cocktails and primos, shot more dice than casinos
Back when Wu-Gambinos were called F.O.I. MC's
All and Together Now Crew B.C.C
REC Posse, G.P., D.M.D
Ol' Dirty stalked East New York, GZA maintained Franklin Lane
I was going to Thomas the Jeff, where students got slain
Old Earth got nervous walked me to Shaolin sent me to Curtis
Took share time in Marquis, U-God general contractin service
While Meth Chef and Deck was off the New Dorp
For white boys who took steroids
Buildin up bicep tricep pectoids and deltoids
Back when our girlfriends was virgins
Cuttin class with Ghost tryin to bag hoes in Murry Bergtraum
A Maybeldine beacon night school Washington Irving
These young Gods was seekin
Hoes in Westinghouse and Clara Barton and Medina
Girls who sung like Sarafina
On the corner of Belmont and Picket Avenue I seen her
As if I dreamed her
I was dead broke, now I will use key notes to make G-notes
So it's always hope
See subway train run through the city like blood through the veins
To the heart of Medina, but Shaolin is the brain
So take heed to these words
And feel the power of the Sunshower

RZA makes a case here for best rapper/producer. To lay such hot fire over such a hot beat is a godly accomplishment.
Not even a contest. RZA blows every rapping producer the fuck out.

Ol Dirty stalked East New York GZA maintained Franklin Lane
I was going to Thomas the Jeff, where students got slain
Old Earth got nervous walked me to Shaolin sent me to Curtis
Took share time in Marquis, U-God general contractin service
While Meth Chef and Deck was off the Nu-dol
For white boys who took steroids
Buildin up bicep tricep pectoids and deltoids
Back when our girlfriends was virgins
Cuttin class with Ghost tryin to bag hoes in Mary Birchem
A Maybeldine beacon night school Washington Irving
These young Gods was seekin
Hoes in Westinghouse and Clara Parton and Medina
Girls who sung like Sarafina
On the corner of Belmont and Picket Avenue I seen her
As if I dreamed her
I was dead broke, now I will use key notes to make G-notes
So it's always hope
See subway train run through the city like blood through the veins
To the heart of Medina, but Shaolin is the brain
So take heed to these words
And feel the power of the Sunshower
Approachin the final hour
Power equality, Allah sees everything
Let's come together under the wings
And take flight, Wu-Tang, the saga, Ryzarecta
In your sector
i see you bro , mad props.
RZA is the most underated MC and productor in Hip Hop, thats my word man!
I would say he’s an underrated MC for sure but he most definitely is one of the most respected Producers out there.
Did you see verzus against Premier?. Rza mopped the floor with him. And Premo is great
You just can't get tired off rewinding this song. Wu-Tang forever
I was 17 when this jewel was laid upon me....(real knowlege) now I'm 40 and it still gives me goose bumpz
th-cam.com/video/wJNeJsOI7PE/w-d-xo.html
Dope new artist
I just heard about it today on a lex/RZA interview
I would’ve clicked the like button but it’s Perfectly on “36”…..Wu-Tang….Peace to you WuFam…!!!
Incredible I was 17 when I truly discovered Wu I’m 19 now. rza is my all time favorite mc.
yeah, the time, and hearing this with the knowledge is historic in the minds of those that experienced it
the soul is immortal.
walks through many portals.
The man is deep !! The GOAT !!!
RZA needs to be taught in schools
" *_WuTang is for the children_* " 😎 ~ O.D.B ( _RIP_ )
Yessir
U could have a whole course off this song alone.
RZA needs to teach in schools
no he doesn't go read your bibles.

@@TorinoTheScientist ur wildin only 11 good songs on wu tang forever???? ur something else fam......
@@fleamarketmixtape3793 haha in the words of the GZA... Half as long twice as strong
@@TorinoTheScientist nah man.... u left out a lot of songs. an album like wu tang forever is the kind of album that you can let the intro play cause even the intro is classic... little ghetto boy? projects? nah yo u left out mad songs. i can understand if u just like those the most but u said that those songs taken away from the rest is how u get a dope album.... ur wild as hell!
Forever was the last decent Wu album but doesn't compare to all releases that came before it....the first ODB, Raekwon, GZA, Ghostface albums...as well as the first Wu.
You must spark a bag of dust to write a song like this. Shit is insane 6mins straight knowledge. RZA a true mastermind word.
Or have that natural third eye kicking in. Smoke some deems one day. You’ll wanna create everything and anything.
@@GoddamnManbat you should smoke some deez nutz
you got it backwards lmfao, shrooms, lsd, dmt, and just knowledge of self is how you write shit like this, dust may give you a dualistic perspective on it too but its not good for you like the other drugs are
A combination of mind-expanding drugs, mind-expanding philosophy, and mind-expanding science is needed to think on this level. At least 2 of the 3 are needed to even understand the words
I’m 22 and I wrote the lyrics on a page word to word 12 times!!
Here after Lex Podcast with Rza
RZA will always speak the truth, in rhyme form!
This song is jam packed with knowledge. One of the most informative songs ever dropped.
Fabulous gem of hiphop. Amazing beats, skillful rhymes, timeless and very appropriate lyrics. Perhaps now more than ever...
rza spits absolute fire!
Matt consider the ice on his hands
This dude (RZA) doesn't get enough props as a producer, at all. He is siiiiiick!!!! One of my fav 5 songs of all times!!!!!! Listen to what he's saying!!!!!!!!!
"Those who took a life without justice will become just ice ice ice..."
Yo... this song is...
Aiyyo Dunn this song is called Sunshower
Cause we approachin the final hour
You know I ahh all I can say to my brothers and sisters right now
Is stay close to your families, and all your loved ones
Cause this globe is about to explode with hatred
They killin for pennies, knahmsayin?
Peace to the Gods, we got a heavy job... yo, yo
Trouble follows behind a wicked mind, 20/20 vision
Of the prism of light but still blind
Because you lack the inner, every sinner
Will end up in the everlastin winter of hellfire
Throw on this mix just picks your third eye out
You cry out your words fly out, and sounds die out
You remain unheard, sufferin eternally, internal external
Along with your wicked fraternal from generals to colonels
Releasin thermonuclear heat that burns you firmly
And permanently upon this journey
Through the journal of the book of life
Those who took a life without justice
Will become just ice ice ice
It's been taught that your worst enemy couldn't harm you
As much as your own wicked thoughts
What devils fought we wrought, and let's annoint
Now you're bein persecuted by that universal court court court
Iron hell with the strong blend of rape and blend of sandal
With rose petals and jasmine, as men use talismans
Burn some incense, chantin witchcraft to reach high dimensions
I'm convinced, Allah is God always has been always will be
You could travel every square inch of the planet Earth and still be
Ninety-three million miles away from the sun
Til you realize you and the sun is one, like the knowledge
Know the ledge to where your heart is
Or fall off into the internal hell that's uncharted
Light travels at the rate of 186,000 miles per second
Through time and space, until it reach a target
And once we're freed of darkness, and show em where the path
From which the Red Sea was parted, into these straight
At the narrow gate, but wide is the road to destruction and hate
What you thought life was a sport? A game?
One hundred years short, know the soul is immortal
Walk through many portals, and those who go astray
Will pay a judgment day, and these few years of wicked bullshit
Ain't worth the eternity inside a sulfur lake
With dragons and snakes, and any pain you can imaginate
Instead, I chose to become a newlywed to the true bread
Of life and fed God Degree of light to my head
It's been said, the fool who sleep is already dead, so I stay awake
And take care of my brother, and uncover reveal the skin
So we can see each other, cause every color
That makes the light appear duller, who's the colored man?
Who's the original, who's the biochemical
Who's the grafted digital, digital, digital, digital
Digital.. yo, yo, yo, yo, yo
Two hundred thousand million atmosphere cubic feet of air we breath
While niggas minds are trapped twenty thousand fathoms beneath
The sea of reality, they can't inhale deep, devils have em
Stagnant, a trapping, the .45 magnum
And shatter bone fragments
Cops love the block you gettin backed up by Dragnet
Thrown into a six by eight steel cabinet
Liftin weights readin ancient tablets, back on the block nobody's havin it
Those who haven't learnt get returned
You freaky ass niggas get burned
Some walk around like they ain't concerned
With the hell goin on inside the world
Why do grown men molest little girls?
Is it because the girl's breast has swelled
To the size of a woman, although she's twelve
The whole world is sick, sick, sick
Trapped up in six, six, six
I started off as a pawn in this marathon of life
Tryin to carry on, wishin I had a bomb to blow up Babylon
A vagabond, tryin to steal sportswear from Paragon
Goin in circles, like a ferris wheel
Undernourished meals I cherish hope, drown inside the sea of life
Use my third eye for a periscope, and take flight to the edge of night
To far heights so dark that even wit a bright light
You couldn't see a spark of light
While others play ball, I recall, me and GZA, Dirty
Hangin in halls, bangin on walls
Kickin rhymes three hours straight with no pause
Boostin from Freeport sunrise to Amityville morgue
Kept razorblade between the jaws, breakin all laws
Started out writin fables to makin beats on lunchroom tables
To wearin long cables that hung down to the navel
So pack some crack and fat sacks of skunk
To funnel the P-Funk, smokin woolie blunts
Dust cocktails and primos, shot more dice than casinos

So ill.... I remember back in like maybe 2002? My friend introduced me to this girl and hes like she's a bigger RZA fan than you.... her first question was what's your favorite song and I said Sunshower lol... she never heard of it lol but made sure she wrote it down to look up ....
nicely done, mate. cheers !
He blessed us right here
Respect
wicked picture..this fella is an icon of music...he's a genuis..words cant express just how talented this guy is..

As opposed to rapping
Your worst enemy can't harm you as much as you're own wicked thoughts
Rza right on point w/ that!
This is beyond hip hop 👐🏿
"Allah is God, always has been, always will be, you can travel every square inch of the planet and still be 93 million miles away from the Sun, until you realize you and the Sun is One."
Deepest lines I have ever heard in 25+ years of listening to hip hop.
I miss this music so much.. not necessarily wu, but hip hop like this with heart and talent w/ mad intelligent lyrics....why does everything nowadays have ZERO substance ZERO heart ZERO effort? It is REALLY fuckin sad..
Go watch Nicki Minaj's "Only" after this. But not if you're near anything breakable.
I feel you and i this point, i think J cole and Joey bada$$ are the only 2 who even remotely try put any effort into there flow and lyrics.
*****
not my cup of tea..give this a listen /watch?v=ku2iE-4jGfw
check out hopsin
All the rapper that were just recommended make me want to vomit other than Joey Bad. Listen to Immortal Technique, Beast 1333
Rza is the true musical GENIUS!
👍
One of the deepest Tracks ever...
In my opinion I could never find enough RZA tracks
I think that when we revisit something later on in life and discover a new meaning, it becomes a greater meaning than what originally drew us to the original meaning.
I remember listening to this when I was 8 years old. My mind was utterly blown away.
Every sinner will end up in everlasting winter of hell fire. No truer words spoken amen.
RZA is legendary producer
Rza is incredible musician !!!!
Here after listing to Episode #228...
Beat me to it so ima just say …”I stimulate light and matter”
Most likely for me the best song RZA ever recorded!
Rza. just spiting 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The more i listen the more i understand the more i like. more humble i get🔥
WuTang 4 ever!
As a 43years old fan, this album hit hard. I can recognize most of the musical styles I listen these days.
Respect
These cats at a young age caught my ear, pulled me into listen.
All though these portals portray pain with bright hues in between
I feel blessed
Rza thank you!
+Shopliftfilms yes :) me too
Peace to the Nation of the Gods & Earth . Rza is the true and living God
Shoutout to the god
Don't ever call a black man sir because that means slave I'll remain# Knowledge.

Funny, after searching for 'RZA' this was the first actual track to come up.
For this track to be representative of The RZA summed up? I could live with that..
Listen to 4th chamber
BKshogun I do, first time was probably bout 20 or so years ago
And so it begins. Summer 2021. Be ready. It commences now. May Allah be with us all. I love you.
"Power equality, Allah see's everything

Damn "The Cure" is still needed RZA.
Realest rap song ever made
the sick ABBOT of the clan. One of humanity's greatest mind. the RZA
now go listen to heavy mental.
@@EMMmaximino word killah priest is krazy w the lyrics!!
damn he went off on this one
Hip hop music just is not what it was in the 90's anymore.
His flow is unstoppable.
str8 rugged old school b-boy style. Greatly appreciated Mr. RZA
This is one of the best beats ever created by man. »RZA«
2020 vision 😅😨
Rza is a goat
Respect the Abbot. I don't think anyone can match his lyrical talent and his flow.
Best RZA track. Wu tang Forever
One of the greatest tracks ever
Wu-tang forever double cd is one of my favorite albums of all time. Why was this song only released on the European version? Why haven’t I heard this until now? TH-cam recommendations sometimes do actually lead to something relevant.
1st time hearing it today
Jpmd3000 I was just showing this to my girl and explaining that I bought this cd when I was a kid a remember this song was my favorite, when I download on Apple iTunes it doesn’t include it on the album. 🤔🤭🤫🤥🖕🏼✊🏼♥️
Thank you you tube! Wish I had u in 97....first time hearing this gem
We had it in New Zealand. Can't believe now its not on Wu Forever on spotify and can't get an LP with Sunshower? Why did RZA keep this track as a bonus only?
it came out on a 12" promo before Forever dropped. It was a B-side with the a-side being Deadly Darts.. another track that did not make Forever along with Recreation 96. the Latter was on The Hits as a bonus
One of the best song I ever heard
Da REAL HIP HOP!! 2019. 39 years old still rockin dope sh!t!
Awesome lyrics from one of the best hip hop producers ……..93 million miles away from the sun …. Great and true
This record is just sik wit it!! Great track again by the purest of hiphop heads!!
RZA spits the truth... RIP Viro....
I recommend you all get his book "Toa Of The Wu"
It's beautiful
"...Take heed to these words and feel the power of the sun shower..."
I love you Rza
You saved my life
Peace god
RZA the Truth!!!
I love this song !!! Dedicated to my late brother “ Tony Falcon “😀
Haha really falcon punch...
Amazing lyrics
No doubt. Very much overlooked here in the US, especially lyrically.
From the looks of things...this will never be touched..
just dropped pac from my top five and added rza what a lyrical genius would've loved a song with him pun kool g rap and rakim and raekwon but I feel like that would be to lyrical for this world to handle
CLASSICK!!! RZA'Rectah doesn't get the proper respect for an MC👑👑👑💎💎💎🙇🙇🙇
"feel the power of the sunshower" m. c. God thats all i can say.
Right Now it's Tuesday... 27th of October 2020... One Week Before the American Presidential Election... and this Masterpiece is still very valid. Wu Tang is Forever 👐🏾
"Releasin thermonuclear heat that burns you firmly/ and permanently upon this journey/through the journal of the book of life/those that took a life without justice will become just ice."
THE RZA at his best.
I've been listening to Wu Tang and their affiliates for over a decade but this is certainly one of my faves from the Abbot
still holds up
mad fire
The great Rzarecta..prophecy
The best Mc to ever live has spoken!! Rza RAZA!!
Peace to the gods.
What does this statement mean is he referring to other entities or fellow human beings

I thought I've heard every RZA song. I was wrong! This is DOPE!!

Throughout my life I must’ve done over 10,000 push-ups to this song

Simply beautiful... Not to mention that same mind made that beat!
Dear God, tinkle hoy

After years of listening to this and the Rza, I have become a certified scientist and can pretty much work in any lab....
When i have a child, i'm not going to play Beethoven to increase its intelligence, i'm just going to play Wu-Tang Forever everday of its young life.
You'd be better off with Beethoven if you want to increase his intelligence. It's proven scientific fact. Without the kid being able to understand lyrics, it won't have the same effect.
