In one of the lost founds lessons it asks what makes rain, hell, snow and earthquakes? The answer is man. So to Masta Killa it's mind over matter and his thoughts of anger are enough to cause an earthquake because his mind is purified with the knowledge of self which means that everything externally is taking place internally or the universe is one and the same as your inner verse. Wu-Tang was experimenting with high explosives back then!
This is One of the greatest songs ever written ... not just in rap but in music history . Its lyrically & sonically perfection. Raekwon, ghost and Masta killah. Wu
That n all is a mystery. Both blue raspberry n tekitha seem ti dave petch perfect memory as theircvoecebmatches slight changes in pitch.

Raekwon is one of the best lyricists of all time and he simply doesn't get the credit he deserves. Man he has a catalog of bangers and LPs that are masterful. Him and Ghost are just elite at their craft.
Everyone don’t get their credit for their lyrics real sh**!!! It’s been a long time !!! Since why -tang had a chance this time !!! Respect oldies !! Blue raspberry good too 😮
Late, great Prodigy wrote in his book that Rae gave him a demo tape of cuban linx before it dropped. When P hears "glaciers of ice", he speeded up his saab (the one from the "shook ones pt. 2" video) that much, that he crashed it by flipping. Great, timeless track!
One was from Stapleton while the other was from Park Hill (A.K.A. Killa Hill), I guess both projects was beefing at that time, I watched the Wu Tang Saga, that shit is deep
@@Dee_Nice89 that shows my shit . The show is deep. I couldn't believe that ghost and raekwon wanted to kill each other back in the day and raekwon tried to kill ghostface then they make a group and put out classic albums together . That shits crazy .
No....that is the GZA on verse 2....I phucked up and forgot too....I thought it waa Rebel I.N.S. myself....shame on me....I was 21 in 1996 and definitely bangin every thing Wu....still do.....I was saying in another comment how futuristic dope his verse alone was....
"My seeds grow with his seeds, marry his seeds, that's how we keep Wu-Tang money all up in the family"! I lived by these lines since 95' when this dropped.
These young boys don't even know about the era though. Helly Hanson's , Fatigues, Champion sweats, man o man what a beautiful time for Hip Hop in The Mecca of Hip Hop!!!! Damn Sun, we can't go back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just listened to OB4CL again for like the 1000th time this past week. It's still GOAT. I don't care how old I get, and how much I move away from the violent rap, it's still my favorite album of all time.
This Era, WU was everything to me as a kid, the hardest dudes on planet earth, top of line. If I heard songs that didnt atleast sound similar to wutang, I couldn't F with it, it wasnt hardcore and real enough for me. Ps: You gotta see "motherless child" after this video lol or "cold world".
Exactly. It was either Wu, west coast rap or Biggie. Everyone else was just trying their best. Not a lot of east coast rappers survived. Wu Tang was taking over everything, only Bad Boy was on they're level. Boot camp clik, Lost Boyz, Mobb Deep xyz they was all doing the best they could. Wu was a force even Mase got the beats from Wu niggas.

This is the New York City that was admired, mythologized, talked about, beloved and to a certain extent, feared. Not fear like people would cower when hearing about NYC street culture, but a fear in terms of actually feeling the treachery and hectic life in these songs and just saying “wtf 😮”We lost that. Smh
Kick and snare the same in both tracks too. Weird how that takes absolutely nothing away from either track even tho they're on the same album. Rza was on some other shit.
Once I start that 90s Hip-Hop videos binge. I'm stuck in that zone for HOURS. Just going back rediscovering shit. I love it. Like Nas said. For my niggaz stuck in the 90s!
"Your style is too local to $ck with this!" Damn that line kills 95% of rappers And "offensive antagonist, no assistance, move emotionless" woooohh this dude is really a Master Killer!
Is this the greatest track ever? I swear it might be still gives me chills all these years later,first time I heard it I was like WTF?🤔😳and then Blue Raspberry comes in!!!OMG FUCKING UNBELIEVABLE🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯

What gets me every time is when Rae adjust his hat before he started his verse …. Shit made me go out and purchase that hat …. And the Reebok sneakers he was wearing….I was 15 years old at the time ……
RZA on point. Ghost and Rae as well. “My seeds grow with his seeds, marry his seeds. That’s how we keep Wu tang money all up in the family” Don’t get more real of a fam then that.

rza made a lot of legendary beats,u can't name a one
This is a great beat..but its not even the best beat on the purple tape.

Raekwon is one of the best lyricists of all time and he simply doesn't get the credit he deserves. Man he has a catalog of bangers and LPs that are masterful. Him and Ghost are just elite at their craft.

💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
The Lost Boyz too
1995 should be labeled: THE YEAR OF FIRE 🔥🔥🔥
Onyx - All we got iz us and Naughty By Nature - Poverty's Paradise. 2 of my fav cassettes from 95'
One
Raekwon and Ghost like Spaghetti And Meatballs 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
2024...Ahead of its time. Almost 30years after this was released and it's still unmatched. Genius production 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
People slept on Masta Killa, he was lethal with words.
Rad Dreamer : Set people did, but if you’re a real Wu head you done know Masta Killa is dope AF 🔥🔥
He always had those fire verses 🔥
Yes he is, very methodical, cerebral, and deliberate with his words and delivery.
masta killa killed this track my nigga
"mastah killah" says it all about his mic skills!!!
Her vocals still give me chills!!!...this shit to cold!!!
I thought my head was gonna explode hearing them vocals thru my Bass headphones back then 🤣
Blue Raspberry 🔥🔥
I was so lucky to experience this in 95 when i was 15 because each Wu word/lyrics grow with you in time. 👐🏾
You can't catch everything unless you know 5% mathematics slang they speak code like Sun,moon and stars,old earth etc. Godbody stuff like that
I guess we’re around the same age. I remember running the purple tape at the same time mortal kombat 3 ultimate came out on the sega genesis
Same! 1980

Raekwons style / voice / flow is so raw. Sick af
