Killah Priest & GZA & Inspectah Deck, needless to say. These striking voices, each one is unique, their technique as they rap, that's how hip-hop must sound to me, rapped out loud, fast, hard and dirty. BOOMMM, that's street, street life, beats with lyrics/messages that hit like a bomb. 97-98 also 24 years later my Dirty REMIX "Cross my Heart" 2023... Wu Tang Clan 4 EVER ®️🔥😎 🏽👑📀💥💣🎹‼️‼️‼️ this is hip hop music 🔥🔥🔥
anyone still spitting this song word for word in '24?? i know i am.. and stil the chills every time im silent and absorbing the technique of how these lirics were written
[Intro: (child) Killah Priest] (One two, one two) No doubt (The microphone's on) Cross my heart, hope to die, word is bond (I've been waiting along time for this) Here we go, Killah Priest, '97, '98 Y'all know somethin'? [Verse 1: Killah Priest] It's the Byzantine king, supreme All kneel kiss the ring into a Elohim I blow steam from the families of the Maccabees Smack emcees, watch 'em scream, "Your Majesty!" Make 'em suffer the capacity of tragedy Hold the crowd down like gravity Back the fuck off, stop grabbin' me, hands off me Niggas start to bore me, I'm gettin' sleepy, I need some coffee Me and my Wu-bandits, we bury niggas deep in the canvas Body bandage like some mummies You fucking dummies, you can't take nothing from me It's the longest waited, the most anticipated, the album hesitated Scream the name out, "Killah Priest!"

EXACTLY. RZA didnt even produce a single track on this album. Peace to True Master, 4th Disciple and Y-Kim for making/producing one of the illest albums ever.
Scream on fake mcs like a drill sergeant. I'm from Boston Massachusetts we rhyme superb while chilling with homies from the pj's. The god write rhymes that change the time and climate. Write rhymes that will have me as top five dead or alive. Vocals make me shine like Einstein. You can't rhyme against me your speech is weak like clock radio speakers. A wise man listens and can learn and love at the same time. I slept in the pyramid's of Egypt to get a clear mind. These kids are moving like red dawn. Rap is nasty as porn.
Joe Jones however there's a song that wu did called PUT YOUR HAMMER DOWN where RZA did the beat, GZA says the exact same verse as this but he says RZA FINE TUNE IT instead
Og classic . I'm 40 now I been on the Wu wave since the beginning and proud of it till infinity never gets old wisdom is timeless And always useful in Life .
Enemy Killa Wu Tang is Forever!
I'll be 40 next May, and have been bumpin all the WU bangas since 93' lol...70+ albums counting!! 👐🏾 #OriginalWUhead
My dad is 38 and white and raps like a gangster he listens to this everyday #wuforever #warwickrhodeislandnig
Enemy Killa : I’m nearly 37 and only listen to that real music 💯 Wu - Tang for life ✊🏾
Im 42 soon and i been on the wu train since mystery of chessboxin. That tune changed my life.
I was 17 years old when this dropped. I'm 43 now...and it's just as dope!! Supreme lyricism!👊🏾💪🏿🎧🎵🎶 TIMELESS FLOW...THE WU REIGNS SUPREME...FOREVA! KP WAS BUILT DIFF....I ROLL WIT THIRSTY.NIGGAS TIGAZ, GORILLAZ😈💪🏿🦍🐯 PEACE...AND STILL SMACK RAPPERS WIT SMILES LIKE CARD DEALAZ
Gza is a genius. And killah priest together makes my life easier
FelicityGemini killah priest should of been in the original Wu tang clan
Plus GZA gave on of this best verses here and that's saying a lot because GZA always kills it. Deck was on point too.
It's impossible not to feel invincible with this amplified inside your senses navigating through cities and suburbia..
Man this track is still nasty. Wu Tang Forever.
TRUE MASTER IS IN MY OPINION THE BEST PRODUCER OF ALL TIME💯💯
C'est ça qui est la vérité
Agreed
He's the best Wu Elements producer. Better than RZA, Mathematics, and 4th Disciple. His production carried Wu through the late 90's.
Fish is one of the best beats ever made
His top 3 for sure!!
the bass is underrated. As it blows, on offbeat. Legendary
i'm 48 still bumpin this, beat is crazy wild
Crazy facts
This tune is to much omg
I know right 😂😂😂😂
Priest verse in this so Fucking hype
I remember this song ,16 years-old When this song came out ,bumped everytime...
I'm getting sleepy I need some coffee! Scream the name out killah priest
This where Can-I-Bus got the hook "Blood spilling in the streets"!
Also sampled by Stoupe in Jedi Mind Trick's "Retaliation"
Yup
Killah Priest & GZA & Inspectah Deck, needless to say.

It's the byzantine king!!!!!!!!
I bought the Caught up Soundtrack for this song. A true classic!!

Classic Wu Banger 🔥🔥🔥
Tracks done after that godly first verse
Killa priest is named and accepted by wu for a reason. He came into my life for a reason. My Godley philosopher
anyone still spitting this song word for word in '24??
i know i am.. and stil the chills every time im silent and absorbing the technique of how these lirics were written

My dad's favorite song.
Rebel INS your highness
This shit is hard..all 3 verses hard
The Doc is back and ready to get on a track I love grey's whites and blacks
You had to have your shit together to listen to these darts. Basic minds would melt from the sheer sharpness of the blades they were swingin
bangin, Bangin, BANGIN!!!!!
97-2021 still bumpin 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
Deck - 'ghetto residents quick to past tense your presence'
GZA verse needs meditation
Forsure,need to be on another level to get him
Ok
[Intro: (child) Killah Priest]
(One two, one two)
No doubt
(The microphone's on)
Cross my heart, hope to die, word is bond
(I've been waiting along time for this)
Here we go, Killah Priest, '97, '98
Y'all know somethin'?
[Verse 1: Killah Priest]
It's the Byzantine king, supreme
All kneel kiss the ring into a Elohim
I blow steam from the families of the Maccabees
Smack emcees, watch 'em scream, "Your Majesty!"
Make 'em suffer the capacity of tragedy
Hold the crowd down like gravity
Back the fuck off, stop grabbin' me, hands off me
Niggas start to bore me, I'm gettin' sleepy, I need some coffee
Me and my Wu-bandits, we bury niggas deep in the canvas
Body bandage like some mummies
You fucking dummies, you can't take nothing from me
It's the longest waited, the most anticipated, the album hesitated
Scream the name out, "Killah Priest!"
I leave the blood spilling in the streets
I'm from the dark hills of Brownsville
The seven shields on windmills across the killin' fields
Never forget it, tell them rap critics
I speak in arithmetics, so they can never get it
I'm too scientific, lyrics explicit
I roll with thirsty niggas, thieves and killers
Tigers, gorillas, faces like Godzilla
We stomp rappers that smile like a car dealer
The God iller, cross my heart hope to die
We multiply, by the hundreds, drunken by the thousand
See me outside your show browsin', beating up your soundmen
Player haters and players, we give 'em cold stares
Any last prayers?
[Verse 2: Inspectah Deck]
Concrete techniques, bomb beats that cause casualties
My faculty, hold it down like gravity
Rapidly threaten like weapons to adolescents
Ghetto residents quick to past tense your present
State of the slums, kill for a plate of crumbs
Fake ones, they're coarse with smiles and snake tongues
I'm deep into this,I sometimes gasp for air
Deadly warfare, hot blocks, cops, and cold stares
Shots blare like fireworks on July the 4th
Weapons get tossed, fugitive slidin' off
My forces combine, new world, 2009
Digital criminals, we make mills in cybercrime
It's all planned ahead 2 times, I see the signs through a great mind
The heaviest chains could not bind
[Chorus: Killah Priest]
We stare you eye to eye, we tell the truth no lie
We cross our heart and hope to die, hope to die
[Verse 3: Genius/GZA]
High ranked officials in armed tanks with missiles
Blood drizzle, simple fact, you slept on the issue
That before you started jerkin' off Joysticks and Sega
I was rockin' off 100 watt amps in Cerwin-Vega
True fine tune it, ship enough units
MCs ask, "Who be those rhyme killers in masks?"
No doubt, difficult task to last in the square
Beware, infinite amount of darts is in the air
I'm victorious with no opponents and blast through components
With microphonics, watch the whole world live the moment
Anything anti that came approachin' this
Our incapable love speech remains motionless
[Chorus: Killah Priest]
We stare you eye to eye, we tell the truth no lie
We cross our heart and hope to die, hope to die
We stare you eye to eye, we tell the truth no lie
We cross our heart and hope to die, hope to die
We hope to die..
You da GOAT FA DIS... APPRECIATE ITT
Canibus - Life liquid samples the “ Blood Spillin in tha Street ! “
They both used the hold it down like gravity simile. Who wrote who's verse?
Lo mejor de este MC es brutal Stylez ira-pura controlando el área hp
Macabeez Hip-hop!
Every time a nigga hear a Wu beat they like, they assume it's Rza smh. PRODUCED BY TRU MASTER
EXACTLY. RZA didnt even produce a single track on this album. Peace to True Master, 4th Disciple and Y-Kim for making/producing one of the illest albums ever.
That's just the State of The Art of Rza and Wu Tang Productions.
Shoutout to Killah Priest stand fast
Masterpiece
BOOOOOM!!!!!!
That real Battle Rap,that wu slang
Hold the crowd down like gravity.
smile like a car dealah
bliss
Still fire 😊 Classic
Scream the name out....
We be those rhyme killers en masse
The line is “who be those rhyme killers in masks” I think
🔥🔥🔥🔥 d..😂 this one is Worldwide War Crushin type shit...damm..smh..Byzantine KINNG🔥🔥🔥🥶🥶
I need some coffe
did the GZA use that verse in another song? I feel like ive heard it somewhere else
Jeffrey Matias I think he also dropped this verse on the Funk Flex 60 minutes vol 3 tape. This is the original though
Actually Deck’s Triumph verse was also on a Tony Touch mixtape before he used it on Triumph, I think
@@gweah7821 thats what it was! It was on Lay Your Hammer Down, thanks!
this is pre-war music
Real Shit.
🔥
@2:36-2:42 🔥
YeeeAAAH!
holy shit
Tell the rap critics I spit in arithmetic!!

Produced by "RZA" .....The first RZA at least!
+JAMIL HOSTILE True Master did this one.
JAMIL HOSTILE nope...production creds are on the album!
Joe Jones however there's a song that wu did called PUT YOUR HAMMER DOWN where RZA did the beat, GZA says the exact same verse as this but he says RZA FINE TUNE IT instead
Sea Thizzo actually, you're wrong! Dip!
Tru master i think
