The feeling of discovering a new way to create or a new idea forming in your head is indescribable. I was pretty excited watching it all unfold in this episode.
Real talk, RZA should've been propped up way more as our east coast beat maker. He's the only one who chops records up like Dre. Unless there's someone I'm not thinking of. But that surgical precision that they both have is a little crazy.
What's wild about this is GFK isn't even on the song, but he put it on his album. The solo albums felt so much like group projects that it took me years to realize it
The reason why this song was like that is bc of how Only Built was. Purple Tape was Raekwon with Ghost as co-host. Ironman was the same way with Ghostface at the front but Raekwon and Cappadonna as co-hosts. So, there were tracks on each album that featured guys by themselves.
There was poison in the birth water the earth daughter rest her head on my chest during the struggle we cuddle under half moon crest. Deck killed that assassination day verse. Ahhhhhhh. Shit still knock in 2023
Any creative knows the absolute resonance, alignment & satisfaction RZA felt from identifying & bringing into form that vision/vibe/tune he heard in his head & it being EXACTLY as he imagined it! PURE BLISS. This track is insane🔥 I'm sooo sad that this series is coming to an end💯 but I'm so grateful they made this & gave those who appreciate real hip hop, lyricism & creativity refuge in the amazing story of my favorite rap group Wu-Tang. Wu-Tang Forever💯👐🏾🐝♥️
Just finished this episode felt like I was in 8th grade again got the chills when the beat dropped dam near got emotional when deck started rapping …Feel like I took the golden era for granted
What’s crazy… as a avid Wu Fan… I was telling my Kids while watching this he is doing “Assassination day” they was like.. Okay… what’s assassination day? Damn kids 😂
When he was playing with the strings I kinda heard it but didn’t. It was like he was teasing the audience. When Ghost grabbed the Phone and the beat dropped. I was like Ahhh Shit😳. That beat was crazy the first time you ever heard it. And too this day it still is. RZA always been on my Top 5 of Producers. This Series Showed why. His thought process is un human, just outta here✅
Man. I was telling my nieces and nephews the same. Then I say the Sky is high and the Clouds are low...let's see you try the water technique.... That Playlist is engraved in my head still. They said damn you hear a beat then you know what song is next. Classics.
@@BboyCorrosive it's good that this generation hears/sees stuff like this so they can appreciate the "golden era" decade of hip hop that paved way for whatever this stuff is now.
I remember when I bought Ironman the day it came out, and put the CASSETTE (lol) in. Played "Assassination Day" about 3 times, and didn't get "it" initially. RZA went waaaaaay left with that beat. Once I got it tho, the rest was history. One of my favs off that 5 mic album 🔥 🔥 🔥
This episode was special to me because GFK is my fave all time AND I just don’t understand how Ironman doesn’t get the love OB4QL & Supreme Clientele gets… ITS RIGHT THERE
They all shined, but RZA struck a nerve with his off-kilter delivery. Some don't have an ear for him, but I was always ready for his verses. RZA, Prodigy, plus 9th Prince are masters of that off-kilter flow.
Fun fact: It was on Ghost’s debut LP b.u.t. Ghost didn’t have a verse on it. There are many reasons to make this the best ever Wu Dart. Usual Suspects in the Intro. RZA verse great. One of Deck’s best ever. This track’s a treasure.
I move through the third world my third eye the guiding light Invite the fight We all die tonight 🔥 one of my fave Wu songs & Deck went stupid as always
Soul controller was the shit on the ironman album. When they repressed it theny took if off. .....the 3rd verse the guitar shit really took off. Rza. A mastermind
Stand out beat from a stand out hip hop classic album. This is one of my favorites on the album, but to be honest, this whole album if fire start to finish. Matter of fact, I think I'm gonna spit it now.
As a hip hop head this scene is so relatable lol. there’s been a few times I’ve heard a song for the first time laying in bed with a shorty about to get busy and stopped everything I was doing and turned the radio up lol. One time I was getting sloppy and the late night mixtape show premiered jay electronica exhibit c. When that beat dropped and bro started going off I told shorty hold on and ran to the radio and turned it up😂😂😂😂😂😂 she was mad at me the whole night I didn’t get none until the morning lol
Yes. My reaction while listening to the Ironman album in junior high 7th grade at home after Black Jesus finished playing on my Walkman. I was by myself...but I asked the same God damn motherfuckin question.....
@@tdup191 umm not really bro supreme clientele bullet proof wallets method man acting career with movies raekwon dissing the rza and if of course ODB leaving Wu Tang joining rocafella then dying a short time after that it's alot still they can play on and actually ghost face solo career went to another level doing those years .
I wish Ghost dropped a verse for this but the structure with Deck leading off as usual, one of RZA’s best, a flawless Rae verse and MK emptying the clip at the end.
Is it just me but is every person affiliated with the Wu is not always on there own songs from there own albums. If so Rza and the Wu family were geniuses. Been there since 94 one year late. Wu Tang Por vida 👐
There’s something very strange to me about this first off I know RZA had to make that beat like 95 and they definitely didn’t have flip phones plus ghosts never even put a verse on that song
They definitely had them back then my man had the grey Motorola flip phone in 94 same one nas had in the beginning of the world is yours remix video sitting in the Lexus
You must not be from that era whatsoever because flip phones became a thing around 96. Plus, companies used to gift rappers merchandise that wouldn’t be released until about two years afterwards; from cars to phones lol. RZA used to buy MPC’s that were still under development. I wouldn’t be surprised if he had a flip phone in 96 😂
Who else just lost they mind assassination stop fuckin playing I knew it was a reason why ironman in my top 10 sonically different from every album that dropped 96
Wu-Tang American saga 🫡 Bringing up jams I’ve either not heard (cause there’s so much music out some things get overlooked) or bringing things back that I appreciate better 🫶🏿

this ep really got me. i swear this one was super emotional. if u a music producer this one really took your heart.
Bro especially while having producers block. This episode helps so much if you are one.
Facts. This beat has more depth after I watched this ep.
They compacted so much n the is episode.
Facts bro when the music living inside you
bro this scene hit me dumb hard mind u I got 3 drum machines 2 synths and 20 guitar pedals
What's wild about this is GFK isn't even on the song, but he put it on his album. The solo albums felt so much like group projects that it took me years to realize it
I think originally this song was meant for Inspectah Deck’s Uncontrollable Substance album 💯
Liquid Swords had every member of the clan, it's pretty much a group album with GZA at the front
The reason why this song was like that is bc of how Only Built was.
Purple Tape was Raekwon with Ghost as co-host. Ironman was the same way with Ghostface at the front but Raekwon and Cappadonna as co-hosts.
So, there were tracks on each album that featured guys by themselves.
They shared the money fairly so everybody had to work
Ghost was in the video; it was a duplet. Ghost was in the second video; I remember it like it was yesterday.
Ironman is an amazing album!
Shit still go hard
Dope AF 🔥🔥
DOPE
Imagine if it wasn't effected by the flood
Hells yeah that's a great album front to back
‘It’s assassination day, I stalk my enemy like prey’
As a producer, this gave me goosebumps. The craft it takes to make that beat dance. 🔥🔥💯💯
You mean musician
Assassination Day is an all time Wu BANGER 🔥!!!
There was poison in the birth water the earth daughter rest her head on my chest during the struggle we cuddle under half moon crest. Deck killed that assassination day verse. Ahhhhhhh. Shit still knock in 2023
Deck snapped
While the press plant fear and exploit the gun blasting, central broadcasting the shacklin...
Deck is freaking insane wit it!!
Inspectah Deck
The Rebel I N S
I got the same chills I got listening to that song from middle school when I bought this album!
IRONMAN is unmatched
I wish we git 2 hear thise beats RZA lost.Tical, Ironman & of course Uncontrolled Substance
Deck absolutely murdered that beat.
omg dude, he DESTROYS that opening, he's so good at doing that, one of my favorite verses ever
I move thru the third world my third eye’s the guiding light, invite to fight… WE ALL DIE TONIGHT!!! 🔥

Real talk ??
Fam this Sounds like a Deck song 😫😫🔥🔥🔥🔥👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
The beats for Decks album were lost in the flood though..
@@BT-kc3ee guess we'll never know for sure
Assasination day has been in my playlist for a minute that sound gets me everytime
This is RZA best beat for me personally.
100% , i bet if you took him aside personally, and just asked him, hed probably be like "hell yeah" lol
For me it's Careful (Click click)
I always put this up there as one of the best beats of all time.The intro is crazy and the lyrics are crazy also.

@@emekaosuagwu6416 I kinda wished they did a bit more but Im glad they showed some of triumph in the last episode
@@Gensis yeah they showed a little bit,a tit bit, wasn't still satisfied,but I loved the last episode though... just missed important bit's
I always felt like assassination day was the sequel to 4th chamber. Both had crazy strings in it with a dope drum track behind it.
Two greatest tracks by Wu
It sucks this season didn’t show the studio sessions for Their solo albums
💯💯💯
But they did even better and made mini films out of each of their albums (with the exception of Method Man’s). I mean, that shit was sick, wasn’t it??
@@logan4x6Ironman didn’t get the mini movie either
@@MASTERPIECEFROMGOD Yeeaah, true. It should’ve. Woulda been cool to see *Supreme Clientele* get one, too. But, I guess that’s a later album.
Bro I got so happy watching this part and then ghost reaction made it even better
That beat was hella tough! When I first heard it 1996. I loved it and RZA killed his verse
Vintage Wu! One of the hardest songs of all times!
Yo; is this the guitar music U-God was talking about? If so he need to take a seat 😂😂 Assassination Day was and still is a classic Wu cut.
I remember when I bought Ironman the day it came out, and put the CASSETTE (lol) in. Played "Assassination Day" about 3 times, and didn't get "it" initially. RZA went waaaaaay left with that beat. Once I got it tho, the rest was history. One of my favs off that 5 mic album 🔥 🔥 🔥
That's my favorite tracks because it's featuring Inspectah Deck, Rae and Masta Killa who laced this joint. Should've had Street Life on it. 👍💯

I miss this show already, knowing it’s not coming back, really messed me up.
This episode was special to me because GFK is my fave all time AND I just don’t understand how Ironman doesn’t get the love OB4QL & Supreme Clientele gets… ITS RIGHT THERE
Agreed. It's one of the greatest albums of all time, in any genre, period. It's built perfectly
I always come back to Ironman. Imo it’s way better than Supreme Clientele and depending on what day it is I put it a notch above Cuban linx
Yesssssssssssss
The beat The Rza did for ODB's song rawhide was crazy too real raw beat
The point they went super old school and played it over the phone, I hope is not a missed classic part, by any of us! Peace!
Gives me goosebumps everytime I hear Assisnation Day!!
Rza had the best verse too
Deck did damage too
Dont sleep on masta killa
i got masta killa. his delivery, lyrics and presence match perfect with the beat
RZA verse was fire. But Deck had that poetry.
They all shined, but RZA struck a nerve with his off-kilter delivery. Some don't have an ear for him, but I was always ready for his verses. RZA, Prodigy, plus 9th Prince are masters of that off-kilter flow.
This guy that played RZA did a very good job. He sounds just like him
Inspectah and Masta Killa verses on this track goes hard

This Beat So 🔥 assassination day
Witty Unpredictable Talent And Natural Game 👐🏿 SUUUU
