@@wojosquad4680 Timbaland? wtf!! that was commercial hip-hop with no guts. is like Swizz beats. just clean shit. RZA and maybe alchemist had the grimmy shit
@@wojosquad4680 Timba came in the 2ks, literally a whole era after, known as the bling bling era, which by many, was considered crap compared to the 90s, biggest exponent were Lil Jon and T-Pain. If RZA fell of on Iron flag, that was deep in the 2ks. Really a whole era apart from 92-99. And RZA moved on to doing movie scores, I call it evolved. Maybe you didn't like it but is what people do, Kanye did with 808 heartbreak and doing a bunch of autotune. RZA have done acting and directing movies while still dropping on point verses. Check his latest album of Saturday Afternoon Kung Fu Theatre.
You can tell GZA directed this video, it follows the concept of "Cold World". This is a very underrated track. Notice how Ghost changes his flow when the beat changes in the middle of his storytelling, "...now back to the original, neighborhood criminals, clockin dollars, by the hour like its digital..." Also how he went from third to first person when talking about the assailants. Crazy
Most definitely! Some of the RZA’s best work and he has many. Legendary shit from a legendary group. Had an army and everybody had bars!! Ain’t no more groups like this.
I remember when this came out made me wanna hit tha block with the homies and get into some unnecessary bullsh*t. This gem here summed up my teenage years
Ghost & Rae are an great duo / part of the Wu-Tang Clan. They know how to tell stories which we all loved. God bless Rae & Ghost . No one deserve to feel like an Motherless child & an Fatherless as well
I was in Columbia SC when this drop. You wouldn't believe how many cats was banging this. This shit was like a ghetto spiritual gospel because it hit a core within us in the south at that time..thats why so many cats style was influence by this soulful classic...we became alchemist and recreated our own style
You must dont know how hard we rocked with the wu in the SC..a lot of 5percenters and we took pride in Masta Killa being from SC, so yeah we were and still are a big supporter of the W.
I went to Westinghouse H.S. up the block from Albee Square Mall in downtown Brooklyn. When I tell you Brooklyn ninjaz respect this song, you will never know!!!!!!!! Classic shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fix your mug, drop your hands, don't wanna get blood on the Tut!!!!!!!!!!!! Wu Tang Forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
100% You remember that "King Tut" piece in the jewelry store window at Albee too? I used to call it a Sphinx head, but Ghostface has own slang for everything. Shit looks mad different on Fulton now. It's a good look, but the soul is gone.
One of my favorite Wu-Tang songs but I never really paid that much attention to the year I did not knew it was 1996 and I really never gave it that much thought about it
To this day rappers jewels STILL cant touch the almighty diamond Tarantula...Rae needs to bring it out one last time along with the wu rolex, timeless pieces 🕷👐.
Guess farmers, Dolomite boots and clue tapes....we used to go to 125th to Dr jays and get right....miss those days, this was the soundtrack...feels like yesterday...
If you haven't heard, listen to the Children of the Corn Freestyle (parts 1 and 2) with this beat its too nasty. the track has Big L, Mase, Cam, bloodshed, buddha bless, and idr who else lol
Dam takes me back to high school...shit was crazy...all the violence and crews back then...people getting stomped in back of buses and robbed...people shook in the subways and buses...was like living in GTA 🤣🤣🤣
no disrespect to biggie but sorry, Biggie isn't no where on Ghostface lyrically. ghost would've killed biggie on a battle rap if Biggie was to go up against Him on any shit. Real talk.
+The Infamous Trini_Don ghost is mad nice prob my top wutang member as far as lyrics but biggie son really biggie was ahead of his time plus after big n pac died hip hop went to shit imagine big was still alive 90% of these bullshit ass rappers wouldnt be around biggie carried ny wit all that drama that was going on but thats ur opinion peace
KaRtOoN true, I aint hating biggie but some how if you compare any NY rapper like Prodigy, Redman, any wu tang member, Gang Starr, Das EFX, smif n wessun, or them, to biggie, he was no where compared to them. Biggie only got all his props and honors because of his talent and his flows but when I look for any top rapper, I look for real hardcore lycism and good stories as a real nigga growing up

This is one of the realest story rap songs you'll ever hear
Ghost is one of the illest storytellers in rap. Hands down. Rick. Nas. OutKast. But nobody brings it like Ghost. His style is a motherless child.
Word Is Bond! The illest.
One of the most amazing samples and beats ever made by human ears... imagine how good you'd feel if you were RZA the day he made this beat
He probably made 5+ more classics right after man is a problem
And GFK said every beat from this album was just sittin in Rzas "Orange Box".
i.e. Rza had tons of beats like this laying around
The RZA was a “beats god”..... I really miss that golden age of Hip-Hop known as “The 90’s.”
Man U not lying …nobody ever thought the way rza did.
Timbaland and Preemo are tough competation

Ima keep it there
Better than every rapper and group at that time! Say it ain’t so…. ✌🏻

This song you understand if you are a motherless child!!
Amen. 🙏

This song showed me Ghostface was the real deal back in '96.
Ghostface Killah Ironman was my first Wu-Tang Album and then I copped all the other ones after that.
i imagine ODB singing the refrain "sometimes i feeeeeeeeell like a motherless child..." - RIP
A classic among classics
Ghost & Rae are an great duo / part of the Wu-Tang Clan. They know how to tell stories which we all loved. God bless Rae & Ghost . No one deserve to feel like an Motherless child & an Fatherless as well
G had a King Tut piece, about the size of little Maurice...
That Harlem shit.
peep how he came back to that a little later on - "Fix em'up, drop your head, don't want to get blood on the tut". Best Lyricist ever.

Ghostface Killah is the greatest rapper of all time. Period. Biggie, Pac, Nas, Jay-Z, it's not even really a close debate.
Put raekwon in his face playboy just sayin ain't gotta look past his group
drums were very aggressive during this wu era
OV Wright sampled here. So bad assed. It's good to see him exposed to new audiences in new ways.
Odb, gza, rae and gfk all have classic 1st solo albums. These 4 solo albums are timeless.
RZA created the illest high hats on this track
Gza directed that woooooow did not know that
2020 self isolation whole planet feels like a motherless child, listens to Wu feels reunited
“G had a king tut piece bout the size of lil Maurice” this where Chinx got that line from Riot in Peace to him and his brother Redfern Ray 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I love all this old shit timeless
Real Hip Hop right here. Bopping my head son! GFK rocks it.
Still blasting this out my B6 S4 NYC Morris Heights Boogie Down Bronx, NYC!!!
If I could go back to any time in my life this would probably be it.
Just one of many many wu classics..damn u rza..forget about movies god

soul touching !!!
Dope combo
We was bangin this in JROTC in the old Fort Meade Barracks! 97'
