The lyrics are so deep. Talking about being a child smoking crack and weed to deal with depression- still depressed (!) gets arrested, grows up, tries to teach people who were his age and they don't listen. Damn.

My story: First mumble rap Then eminem and some lyrical new school Third moved to 2pac And now i listen to 80's 90's and some cool song from 2000 to 2019
Unlike most rap nowadays...spouting designers names over and over and over and over again and calling that music? Please. Wu-Tang and the others from this time made GOLD out of thin air...at least they had true talent, unlike today's Auto-Tune sycophants.
@@wolflover968 I mean, drugs, money, designer names and violence all fall into the same category that most rappers rap about, 80s 90s or even today. True innovation is talking about none of that and still making a good tune, but the truth is, it's not really possible since the listener tends to come back more often if they can relate
Whenever i hear this song, i hear the city of New York literally, cant explain just how fitting this song is for the streets and subway lines its as if Wu Tang gave the NYC a mic and it dropped this.
Anyone noticed the hook isnt actually in this version. Something to do with Ruckus the Wu Tangs dope man who wrote it. I'm thinking he asked for his piece of the pie and it wasn't big enough so told them to stop using it. Not like they can contest it, multiple members have credited Ruckus for being the architect to the phase C.R.E.A.M
I am now 42 years old and was lucky enough to grow up with such music and art and I am proud that my sons listen to the same music. Tupac and Wutang Clan for ever.
Every songs is a feeling man, thats why we listen to music, because music create emotions. It's not only lyrics and melody, it's a vibe, a frequency ... You can have the best lyrics in the world but if theres no energy and harmony in it most people wont like it. Music must be a reflection of you and your emotional state, it must come from your heart. You know im french and sometimes i dont understand everything US rappers says, but i know when its real and when its not ... When i hear Numb or savage mode from 21savage i can feel his pain, his anger, his sadness and his frustration to have been a poor ghetto kid, to have made the wrong decision, to have become a gangster, to have lost many friends, almost lost his life and to be addicted to pain killers. Same when i hear Pain from tupac, codeine crazy from future, my life from Lil wayne and game or lord give me a sign from DMX. Then when i hear songs like streets is watching, Black gangster, people's court, i shot ya or jigga my nigga from JAYZ i know he really lived that life, i know he was a real drug dealer/gangster ... The lyrics, the energy, the tons, the flow .. It's really like he's telling you his story. Same with Drake when i hear songs like Marvin's room, aston martin music or find your love i know he talk about a real girl and in songs like im on one, pound cake or over i know he meant everything he said .. Drake is 100%invested in his music, he is so confident he literaly spoke things into existence in im on one he said " And what's up with these new niggas ? And why they think it all comes so easy .. But get it while you here boy, cause all the hype dont feel the same next year boy, Yeahh, and i'll be right here in my spot, with a little more cash than i already got, trippin off you cause you had your shot, with my skin tanned and my hair long and my fan who been so patient, me and forty back to work but we still smell like a vacation, hate the rumors hate your bullshit hate these fucking allegations, im just feeling like the throne is for the taking .. Watch me take it !" ... And like he said in pound cake "you know it's real when you are who you think you are" 💯💯💯
Wu Tang Is The Pioneers of that grimey new york lyrical street rap mixed with commercial appeal. Method Man voice just cuts through those RZA beats like Hot butter on toast and man the outcome is fantastic. They have influenced a generation of rappers that have followed in their footsteps like Stann Smith, J Cole and Joey Bada$$ but there will never be another Wu Tang
''We got stick-up kids, corrupt cops and crack rocks and stray shots, all on the on block that stays hot'' this bar contains more brilliance than I will ever be able to produce in my lifetime.
well this is wrong on many accounts BECAUSE they mastered it on one cassette... LITERALLY ONE CASSETTE. so any "cleanliness" you hear is the result of digital manipulation and enhancement. the ACTUAL album is very hard to hear and NOTHING like this video (admittedly HD). like i have to crank my stereo 2x at least just to have normal levels when i play 36 cham.... it is SUPPOSED to sound dirty and rough so... idk what you mean home skillet
I’m here in Nov 2024…This song right here! Help me when I was a teenager going through it. I had a great child hood, but life changed. Sometimes your choices are narrowed to what you have to choose. I made my best choice to my ability. We struggled and I had to keep the heart and mind of a soldier. As my mom and bro’s who said, “ keep the faith”, “The Most High got us. “ Even though, I would get mad sometimes, I turned that negative into a positive and I graduated high school and went on to college. I had learned to adapt and it taught me how to survive. For a young lady at the time I didn’t complain abt what I had or lost to my mother or my bro’s… I made do. We had love and unity, laughter in our despair. The Most High always blessed us with our portion for the day…by his grace I’m eternally thankful🙏♥️🎤
Your first comment was totally right, but then purist came out of the darkness and start to yell some shit. Sure, nothing can be compared to classic old Hip Hop, it's unique, i agree. But you can't say "now hip hop is shit", it's still music, you have to be open minded. And there is still some hip hop wich is awesome even if, yes, it has change compared to old hip hop.
You too focused on the mainstream stuff my guy. Whenever I got outside or to a popular place a lot of people still wear loose clothes, specifically teens, and rappers lyrics are still tight you just gotta get outta the mainstream shit 💯

Im a super introvert person and i remember when I was 15 yeras old and went to see a Wu Tang concert all by muself because my friends couldn’t join me. I remember being super tired from the trip and i didnt know anyone in the crowd seeing as this concert was very far from where I lived at the time. As I said im super introvert and so while i was waiting for wu tang with the crowd i didnt speak to nearly anyone if not necessary and i wouldnt join the hype at all. The tables turned when the Wu Tang came out to perform. I was super excited to see them and after like 4 minutes when they started to perform this song, ”C.R.E.A.M”, I remember how my mental state changed in the blink of an eye. I was standing in front of the crowd leaning over the fence screaming out every lyric of every song including CREAM. Not alot of people in the crowd knew the lyrics to some songs and I remember GZA noticing that I knew it so well and nodded his head towards me for a second. This moment reminds me of the greatness of the wu tang. I had heard 36 Chambers over and over and knew it by heart by the time I went to see the Wu Tang, and seeing them live made me realize how great the Wu Tang is. It brought out a person in me that I had yet to know. Ya best protect ya neck.
Man this comment/story is actually awesome and epic all rolled into one. And thank you for sharing bro. Tis the season for sharing after all lol. God Bless!
My friend said and i quote after i said i was rocking wu tang "Why are you listening to that? Dude that shits old" little did he know that WUTANG is FORVER!
hall bjorg lmao son you dumb lil Wayne be having some good ass tracks don't compare lil Wayne(early 2000's) vs some cold ass raps from the mid 90's . Don't get me wrong rap has change and will continue to change but you comparing diff types of rap
I'm jealous. I wish I could re-experience Wu Tang for the first time. Just wait, man. Once you start getting into the individual artists from the group, and the shit they released on the side, (usually in collaboration with another Wu Tang artist- most of the time) you will feel guilty for not knowing the artistic genius that is The Wu Tang Clan. I just got into them a year ago and have not stopped finding material that I love. RZA, GZA, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Ghostface Killa, Inspectah Deck, U-God, Masta Killa, Raekwon, and the Method Man, MAN! Not a single one of those motherfuckers is without serious talent.
***** melted his speakers..meaning the phrase was straight fire!!..and the phrase was a straight to the point description of his block..not sure what part you didn't understand..
Sitting here after my ankle surgery listening after seeing a INSANE bill! Life is hectic, cash rules everything around me, CREAM!!! Get the money. Dollar dollar bill y’all!
It's absolutely insane that this was off their debut album, along with so many other bangers. Unknown 23/24 year old kids basically, exploded onto the scene with what has become considered one of the all time greatest hip hop albums of all time. And the fact that there were 10 of them and not a single one of them were considered bad or holding the rest back. All of them total geniuses in their own right. There will never be another group like them. Truly one of a kind.
@@sirlrado yea, except he's kinda blowing smoke. there were definitely "lesser" members, U-God and Masta Killa were nowhere near guys like Ghost and Mef.
Out of all the tricks in this video, the one that stands out the most for me and by reading the comments, for others as well. The hard flip to back smith was literally the most insane tricks I ever seen in my life, in street skating. How does one come up with that by looking at that rail? Unbelievable. When I was watching the other day I never realized how many appreciate that trick to slide.
One of the Best Verses from the 90's...bar No One...it was just that deep when it came out...Everybody I knew was living like that...that verse will forever give me chills...the 90's was No Joke...Great Music...Hard Life...

We got the edgy buff 15 yearold,Egyptian man without arms,a french guy with hair the same length as a chef's hat,a buff old dude with purple tentacles,a teen licking cherries and finally a sane dog. Together they make a crusade
After the success of their first album, there was enough drama within the group cause certain guys had successful solo careers which affected the group before they could reunite 7 years later to make their second album and the death of ODB…
This unique, gritty, realistic East Coast whole vibe is why this will never get old. 2023 & I still love it so much!! The hook, each one's lyrics, I'm from the East Coast & so proud of how the Wu Tang OG's are still around doing so much. Legendary Group! 🐐 🎤 ❤

The 90s was the era Hip-Hop was at it's finest in my opinion, closest thing to it these days has to be Joey Bada$$ in terms of beats, flow, lyrics etc.

Deck is one of the most underrated MC’s ever.
Easily has the best verses in Wu-Tang songs, his solo shit ain't as good.
Hands down slays every verse he drops mad respect
@@bargun3943 CRAZY
Man say it again I always liked deck
His opening verse on “Triumph” is one of the greatest verses of all time!
Im a super introvert person and i remember when I was 15 yeras old and went to see a Wu Tang concert all by muself because my friends couldn’t join me. I remember being super tired from the trip and i didnt know anyone in the crowd seeing as this concert was very far from where I lived at the time.
As I said im super introvert and so while i was waiting for wu tang with the crowd i didnt speak to nearly anyone if not necessary and i wouldnt join the hype at all.
The tables turned when the Wu Tang came out to perform. I was super excited to see them and after like 4 minutes when they started to perform this song, ”C.R.E.A.M”, I remember how my mental state changed in the blink of an eye. I was standing in front of the crowd leaning over the fence screaming out every lyric of every song including CREAM. Not alot of people in the crowd knew the lyrics to some songs and I remember GZA noticing that I knew it so well and nodded his head towards me for a second.
This moment reminds me of the greatness of the wu tang. I had heard 36 Chambers over and over and knew it by heart by the time I went to see the Wu Tang, and seeing them live made me realize how great the Wu Tang is. It brought out a person in me that I had yet to know. Ya best protect ya neck.
Adam Elsayed thanks for sharing! Wu tang forever!!
u seem like a nice guy i wish you good luck :)
Your comment is the truth my g! 👐

Nice comment bro , I feel it
My friend said and i quote after i said i was rocking wu tang "Why are you listening to that? Dude that shits old" little did he know that WUTANG is FORVER!
I'm gonna guess your friend likes to hear people mumbling?

hall bjorg lmao son you dumb lil Wayne be having some good ass tracks don't compare lil Wayne(early 2000's) vs some cold ass raps from the mid 90's . Don't get me wrong rap has change and will continue to change but you comparing diff types of rap
You need new friends.

get outta here! at least they know now.
I'm jealous. I wish I could re-experience Wu Tang for the first time. Just wait, man. Once you start getting into the individual artists from the group, and the shit they released on the side, (usually in collaboration with another Wu Tang artist- most of the time) you will feel guilty for not knowing the artistic genius that is The Wu Tang Clan. I just got into them a year ago and have not stopped finding material that I love. RZA, GZA, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Ghostface Killa, Inspectah Deck, U-God, Masta Killa, Raekwon, and the Method Man, MAN! Not a single one of those motherfuckers is without serious talent.

Don't listen DOOM then, or you house is gonna burn down!
yea Deck my favorite Wu member
***** melted his speakers..meaning the phrase was straight fire!!..and the phrase was a straight to the point description of his block..not sure what part you didn't understand..

It's so good. I used to jam this shit back in highschool. Love learning more of their story of coming up.
I can’t watch it because I live in the uk
It's absolutely insane that this was off their debut album, along with so many other bangers. Unknown 23/24 year old kids basically, exploded onto the scene with what has become considered one of the all time greatest hip hop albums of all time. And the fact that there were 10 of them and not a single one of them were considered bad or holding the rest back. All of them total geniuses in their own right. There will never be another group like them. Truly one of a kind.
Legit comment and respect to you 💯
@@sirlrado yea, except he's kinda blowing smoke. there were definitely "lesser" members, U-God and Masta Killa were nowhere near guys like Ghost and Mef.

Out of all the tricks in this video, the one that stands out the most for me and by reading the comments, for others as well. The hard flip to back smith was literally the most insane tricks I ever seen in my life, in street skating. How does one come up with that by looking at that rail? Unbelievable. When I was watching the other day I never realized how many appreciate that trick to slide.
fuk yea, got my first back smith on a street spot this week
Raekwon’s verse is timeless and ethereal. Plain and simple.
One of the Best Verses from the 90's...bar No One...it was just that deep when it came out...Everybody I knew was living like that...that verse will forever give me chills...the 90's was No Joke...Great Music...Hard Life...

The whole album is a masterpiece mate.

Just watched S02E09 of Wu Tang American Saga and it’s about the making of CREAM, still remains one of the greatest hits in Hip Hop… 🙌🏾
After the success of their first album, there was enough drama within the group cause certain guys had successful solo careers which affected the group before they could reunite 7 years later to make their second album and the death of ODB…
