Goddamn this track takes me back to my teenage years and literally gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it. One of the sickest wu-tang beats ever produced, period.
Hes fan fucken tastic but uhhhh he cant be compared to depth DOOM goes in to. Still sick and has his own thing going on. I hate comparing the greats like this.
Rza was good but most of you white ppl don’t understand that he was seen as average compared to the rest of newyork city 90s rappers they all were dropping hardcore lyrical rap especially GZA and the rest of wutang
Thank you RZA. Its because of music like this I listened to as a youngin that kept me open minded to the ways of this world. Everything said on this song is true then and true now. Prophesy done through HipHop
@@canubeetquad Ideas transcending physical barriers? You can restrain a body but you can't enslave a strong mind? Keep your brain sharp and you might get out of the ghetto? RZA's rhymes are dope AF?
"Can't interpret cause your brain is short circuit This dumbness left your body numbness try to come amongst us What's your angle? Rectangle or triangle? As my truth of square drains you of your power the death angel strangles you like a weed, choking the helpless flower"-The RZA
lifestraight this might be a bad thing .. but my kids listen to this new rap which mostly sucks and so I played a few of my favorite wutang songs. Trimph, shadowboxin, the what with biggie and method and dude... they were like mom, this sucks.. I said, do yall know any kids that freestyle, they were like yeah . I said go ask them if they know about wutang... cause, they should, right They.still have not gotten back with me.. they just think I'm a dork. I'm not that old. 36.... :(
This video was too ahead of it's time!!! RZA's Dream came true,SINCE day one he always wanted to direct his own Martial Arts films,like SHAW BROTHERS,and GOLDEN HARVEST growing up!!! It's too bad his Music had to take a back seat to that,but still it's a blessing.
Rza I've been following 17 yrs, also vinnie paz, these guys are on a whole different level!!!! they speek truth and passion! that gets me by day by day!! much apprection!!! The Best of the Best!! without a doubt!!
You might be right, I tried to disprove your theory, Dr. Dre , Kanye came to mine but they had ghost writers, Erick Sermon, Q Tip is nice , but the Rza is better.
Even though I'm not a 5 percenter here are some words to live by: Each one teach one Getting people out of the triple stages of darkness: Dumb, Deaf, and Blind into the triple stages of light having Knowledge, Wisdom, and Understanding
Jack of all trades, but with an ABSOLUTE MASTERY of production! Rza can do it all, but its what he does behind the boards that makes him one of the greatest ever....
The lyrics to this song was way advanced for its time. People were not paying attention back then. But as you see how the world has turned to shit, this song fits perfectly in these times that we live in.
This song is better than ANY songs you're talking about! #facts This is what CLASSIC hip-hop is all about which something you & ALL these white boys will NEVER understand! You don't speak our language PERIOD! FOH
You know your music ? Well obviously you know nothing about GZA LMFAO GZA didn’t graduate from high school, but he’s since been a fixture on the education scene after embarking on an ambitious project that will serve as a teaching tool about the cosmos titled Dark Matter. The Brooklyn native explained to CBS why he’s involved and what he hopes to spark in the minds of the young. “The goal is just to awaken the children, make them more aware and embrace science and everything connected to it,” GZA explained briefly.
Flipin fin Thanks for proving my point = you are NOT too bright!! NO ONE will EVER accuse you of being smart! #ByeDumbass Your level of cluelessness is off the charts!!
Andre Salazar you're running your mouth about uneducated people though Rza didn't graduate high school lmfao I didn't need Google to know that. Just like proving evidence lmfao you're a dork I think you're confused you like white battlers but talk shit about white people. I'm pulling your card and you don't like it.
I remember making my mother watch this when I was in high school. I knew Wu Tang and the Rza specifically were special, and I wanted my mother to see what my generation contributed to the diaspora in terms of heartfelt original art. She'd always notice Wu Tang songs and videos, and ask who it was... Mom's is hilarious. She very Christian, and in terms of hip-hop only likes one album (Dead Prez "Let's Get Free"), and a few songs (Rick Ross "Every day I'm Hustling!", Luniz "I Got Five On It", and DMX "Y'all Gone Make Me Lose My Mind!" ).
Dope times ten. I gotta hear this again. Lyrically brilliant. Thanks for the upload. Who else is watching Wu on Hu? Dope series. Awaiting season 2 RIP ODB #wutangforever #wtcantfw
RZA's one of the best producers the genre has seen and I do agree that the East Coast overall has made the best hip-hop, but no need to diss the West Coast. They made classic records too. "Nothin But the Cavi Hit" was also on this soundtrack and if you can't at least appreciate that as a dope hip-hop record, I don't see how you can consider yourself a hip-hop fan.
huh? people still talk about east coast vs west coast? for heaven's sake nobody suggest that hip-hop started out in queens bridge or we'll never hear the end of it!
, I'mma show this metamorph-is as the King takes his office Keep my planets in orbit, never forfeit, or quit Move forward, I talk with the awkward slang I walk with, the Wu-Tang
*History Lesson:* Tragedy video dropped in around November 1996. I waited for that Wu album to drop in February (like he said in this video) and it NEVER came, it wasn't released until June-July 97 (Forever Album).
I first saw this on TV late one when I was in high school. I was just blown away by the song and the music video and I remember talking about it the next day at school
I met RZA at my school, Taft High School in Woodland Hills, Ca. I was TA in the counseling office when he came in to register his daughter. One of my luckiest day. #respect
I remember this coming on before the Rhyme and Reason movie bunch of ignorant rap fans in the theatre they weren’t feeling it, it was a bit over my head as a kid but I definitely respected it and that’s the beauty of music when your young when it’s ahead of the curve and you have to grow on it
"Penny candy poisonous rappers, best to chill or get your head gashed Lemonhead, sour Pez kids, best to grab a Life Savor, I'll Jawbreak ya, Boston Bake ya" so sick
“In a way, when TV went digital, we lost a foothold in reality. Now, we'll never truly know if what we're watching is real or has been altered and transmitted to us. Digital culture brought a step away from truth.”
He did, but for as talented as he is, he should've been on top of the game. So many great artists never gain the commercial exposure that they should. Mos Def, Talib Kweli, and Immortal Technique are just a few to name
That's cause when that bullshit "dutty south" emerged, their lyrics consisted of bitches and money and that's obviously all that pre-teens of that generation found appealing and had no sense to educate themselves with real hip hop such as this and the other artists you named. They're the real deal not fuckin weezy and ludapiss and all those other tools who just had naked girls and flashy ass cars in their vids.
RZAs rhyme skills are so underrated.
He was taught by Gza. ( the oldest)
(the genius)
Very underrated same with inspectah deck
xTyler1997
I agree.
He meant the oldest as in the oldest member of the group.
Goddamn this track takes me back to my teenage years and literally gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it. One of the sickest wu-tang beats ever produced, period.
RZA is the deepest rapper ever. He's a Philosopher.
BlackRussian85 I hold to this as well
Agree to some point but he doesn't hold a candle next to GZA
Hes fan fucken tastic but uhhhh he cant be compared to depth DOOM goes in to. Still sick and has his own thing going on. I hate comparing the greats like this.

"heavy thoughts can't be held down by the laws of gravity", simple yet powerful line!

So let me get this straight you like white battlers but black rappers ?

Phiyawata999 Was it
I like both of RZA's Iron Fist movies!
best comment ive read online this month !!! lol
The first time I saw this vid I was on lsd. No bullshit. We watched it over and over and over. Wu Forever
Rza at his finest. Lyrically, production...everything hits right on this one. The God!!!
Now I do understand them rhymes, they’re so on now . Loved This in 1997, I was very young then.still love it. Even more ❤️
(1997)
Here comes the rain again
Falling on your head like a tragedy
Rza rhymes his ass off. For real G!!!
RZA speaks that knowledge when he rhymes and that's real
Rza is the supreme story teller; a true student and teacher of life.
the original "man with the iron fist"
they have some week ass white bro now.
FelicityGemini not so much
I luv this song
RZA bodied this. By far the best song on the Rhyme and Reason soundtrack. Those west coast clowns cant hold a candle to this.
RZA's one of the best producers the genre has seen and I do agree that the East Coast overall has made the best hip-hop, but no need to diss the West Coast. They made classic records too.

@@haruyasumi616 right. Black people just won't get along. Not all . But alot
@@haruyasumi616 the bridge has been over since 1987

正に天才
ラッパーではなく音楽家。
This is so ahead of its time. Today’s generation can’t keep up or compute these lyrics
One of the DOPEST and In The Top 10 of all time MC's, DJ, Producer and not a bad Actor either!
Underrated!
It is but truly exceptional in quality
JAY...
Kool./Hunh...etc...
Funny how the lyrics in the beginning correlate with these past years!
There is no poetry like this in the music industry anymore
Always gotta go back in time for real hip hop!!! Thank you rza... Hip hop is a tragedy now!!
Still my favorite classic in 97 i show miss the 90's.
there is no way you can listen to Migos after this song. no way in hell.
Bohumil Bedrich I do. You can enjoy both acts.

“Can’t smoke a bone in the staircase without gettin chased.”

Long live RZA and the whole WuTang clan!! Classic!!

damn Rza!! I forgot how hard that video was
Wu-Tang up in this joint. Wu-Tang Forever. Best intro ever?:)

Jay Doe...
Kool./Hunh.
RZA is influence by Jay-Z.
Coldest lyrics! Dopest beat! crazy classic
the first few lines of this song is some true shit
this is so awesome. a rapper who's into fantasy and nerd stuff. he just makes my loves fit like peanut butter and jelly
ive been listening this track nonstop for years. its not bad at all.
Did anyone else notice he killed him with the five point palm exploding heart technique
Jp RedEdge I def did
Buddha Fist palm strike
The Fist of the White Lotus
Used that technique
Kung Fu fans already know Bro

"Penny candy poisonous rappers, best to chill or get your head gashed

so sick
Aka sour patch!
great way to start a song classic rza miss these days
Lyrics definitely Master minded…..Might be the illest Hip hop video ever!! Twenty Duce Duce …respect!!
Everyone get your hands on RZA's book "The Tao of Wu" - it's fucking incredible. this man is a Bodhisattva!
“In a way, when TV went digital, we lost a foothold in reality. Now, we'll never truly know if what we're watching is real or has been altered and transmitted to us. Digital culture brought a step away from truth.”

Lyrics were so ill. You have to have a brain to understand them. That's why real talented rappers will never make it big
He did, but for as talented as he is, he should've been on top of the game. So many great artists never gain the commercial exposure that they should. Mos Def, Talib Kweli, and Immortal Technique are just a few to name

He is on top of the Game if you think about it. The work he did on Kill Bill alone outshine anything just about any rapper has ever done.
Παναγιώτης Μήτσου He did but this was before white supremacy stepped in to dumb down hip hop
This is just SICK!!! Dope lyricism, delivery and beat! Awesome!!!! Wu-Tang forever!
He is still rapping, I saw wu perform live about 4 hours ago and wu are brining out new material.
