What got me hooked on Wu...I grew up watching Kung Fu Theater in the 1970s and 1980s, Hellswind Staff, Ghostface Killer, Wu Tang vs. Shaolin all movies I watched as a kid.
This was during the Golden Age of Hip Hop music. I was like 16 years old rockin this on my walkman..or stereo in my room. I remember back then you turned on the radio..it was Wu Tang on one station..Tribe Called Quest the next station..Nas on another..thats what hip hop is and always will be. The creativity was at its peak in the early 90s..shout out to Wu for contributing to that 💯💯
Its a joy to watch the new generation get an appreciation for the Wu. I'm from the UK and can confirm we love these guys all across Europe. The Golden Age (92-97) was one of the best bodies of work in music.
This first album was definitely classic raw Wu Tang, there was nothing like it when it came out. They got better and better with the rhymes and beats as time went on too… The Purple Tape is an absolute classic🙌🙌
Deck sets the tone. His album was lost in the flood of Rzas apartment, so Deck was never heard , it would've been interesting if his original album had been saved and released. 🔥
Thing is, all of these guys are super smart too, GZA is basically a chess grand master. He's really knowledgeable about science, astronomy and numerous other things. And it really shows in their lyrics. You really have to process what they're saying and decipher it, hence why wutang clan isn't for everyone. Most of their lyrics go over peoples heads. It's only once you really understand what they're saying does it really blow your fucking mind and make you realize how ridiculous every single one of them are. It pisses me off how slept on they are and how no one ever mentions them in "best lyricists lists". Each one of them are in my top 20.
I found wu tang clan when I was 11 in Scotland believe it or not, been listening to them since every one of them is super unique with the dirty beats in the back. Can’t beat it loved this comment^^^^
@sumitrana4813 look at Amy top 10 lyricist list or video etc. Not a single member ever makes any of those lists. That's what I mean by slept on. It's easy to disregard them as a group. They're never given their fair consideration individually
The 1st time I heard this song in 93 I knew it was special! 30yrs later it’s still special! WuTang Forever 🔥 4th Chamber Gza!

This is one of the best reactions to this song on TH-cam. When ghost blows up after odb is the absolute best. I loved you guys flipping out right then. Not long I’d how long that this rhyme took me If rap was a gun you wouldn’t bust back Then rza follows up and kills it with the flowin like Christ when I speaks the gospel. Definitely 10/10
Glad ya’ll took the hint…but you got a loooong way to go. They dropped classics as a crew and then they dropped 🔥solo projects. The B side to this single was METHOD MAN…(they gave Meth the solo shine) and was the next banger from them. That should be the next reaction. Others clan jawns would be C.R.E.A.M., CAN IT BE ALL SO SIMPLE, TRIUMPH, IT’S YOURZ…then start diving into the solo albums.
Wu tang is different. Mystery of Chessboxin is one of their most popular songs because its DIFFERENT than other forms of rap. When it came out, ppl were blown away by the style. Wu tang aint for everyone. their bars are heavy and dense and they are NOT AFRAID TO BE THEMSELVES.
I've seen a few of your reactions now and I can say you're one of the best to watch. Also, dude on the left in the red: has anyone said your facial expressions remind me of Kenan Thompson, and I mean that as a major compliment, you're fun to watch. Wu-Tang is so ill, Clan In The Front should be next.
The best way to think of the Wu-Tang is as a supergroup - multiple talented artists coming together to create something that is far beyond the sum of its parts. Each of these dudes can, and do, stand on their own. But together, they elevate one another to a whole new level. 💥✊💥 #wutangforever
Salute!!!...bought the cassete single in 93 at tower records with method man on the flipside. Had never heard it before and was blown away when I popped it in the maxima car deck..yall got to do that method man on the flipside..Salute to the young bulls studying the history of what we (black folk) created ✌🏿
When they came out their cadence was so unique. They were like what Nirvana did in rock music. All the other rappers were like “shzt… it’s over for us.” Wu Tang upped the game.
I was in college when Protect Ya Neck dropped... Ni66a... this EP was a warning shot fired across the bow. Then 36 Chambers came out and blew sh*t up out the water man. Great time to be alive.
One of the greatest rap song s of all time, their flow and lyrical skills were top notch, the beat was sick, most of em was from Staten Island NYC, Old Dirty Bastard was from Brooklyn NYC, they were ahead of their times, do a reaction on EPMD song , you got's to chill, keep up the good work, keep the videos coming, PEACE 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷👍
So happy for yall young bulls to be able to discover a Sonic boom like Wutang music. Understand in 93 I was in High School and the Wutang blew my mind just like it's blowing your minds. Understand they were like nothing anyone ever heard Sonically!
Can't judge ODB in reference to other rappers, his biggest influences were soul and shit, that's why he has a crazy delivery and cadence. Why his videos like shimmy shimmy ya had 70s themes.
This shit came out when I was 15, niggaz was punchin niggaz in the face to this shit. WU-TANG aint just a Hip-Hop group, its a religion........Dont know how good yall are, but yall understood WU, nuff said, keep shine'n young Kings. SUBSCRIBED
This was their break out, this was their introduction to the world. You need to verse yourselves on this entire debut album. The world was never the same after the killer bees on the swarm.
High school days lol..... walking thru my high school hallways reciting " and i'm the dirtiest thing in sight.... matter fact bring out the girls and lets have a MUD FIGHT!! " (Kung fu sounds) lmaoooo
Yall got a looonnnng road to go with Wu. Tical, Ironman, Only Built for Cuban Linx, Liquid Swords, Supreme Clientel, Bobby Digital, Killarmy, Capadonna....those are solo albums....just a few. The Wu albums themselves are legendary. Goodmorning if yall serious about this Wu Day Edit: In hip hop history, that Wu Tang symbol....that W is probably more known and worn world wide that any other brand. EVER! When Chessboxin came out, we wanted to get the W more than Jordan's. Someone tell me anything was ever hotter than Jordan's for a min from the asphalt shit like flannels and Timbs and Dickies. They were perfect for the time. Wu Tang forever wasn't a joke 💯
Love the reaction! ODB a legend for sure. Have yall ever thought about getting any lighting facing yall btw? I don't know how bad the glare off of the canvas backdrop would be but it would light ya up
The expressions on their faces says "Oh so this is what hip hop sounds like...."
AND since Wu Tang is not for everybody, it makes it even MORE impressive that they are so popular. they made it big WITHOUT conforming to popular entertainment.
Whatchu talking about, Wu-Tang isn't for everybody!? Yo, Wu-Tang is for the CHILDREN. 💥😎💥

My favorite part on the track!
@@RJMacReady1 My fave is "Turn the other cheek and I'll break your fuckin' chin"
RZA censoring the radio edits for his songs with Kung-Fu movie sound effects hand picked to fit the flow is pure genius.
That whole album was surgically precise.... every line... every line... every beat.... every member...the artwork... straight timeless yo
This iz called the Golden Era of Hip-Hop ...... Wu-Tang is the best Group in hip-hop history 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Preach
I wouldn't go that far....chill bruh. 😅
FACTS!
NWA
Especially when you look at what each did individually too
GZA's verse won 5 Mics in The Source Magazine when this song came out.

Protect ur neck is literally the coolest shit i herd in my 27 years of living Life
public enemy.

The Wu can't go wrong with these 9 lyrical assassins 👐
Imagine growing up on this and trying to listen to Drake talk about opps😂
Word , this that real shit
I can listen to both. Drake hasn't been at the top of the game for the last 10+ years for no reason..

Inspectah Deck always sets it OFF. The Rebel is underrated. Classic Hip Hop.
His Triumph verse is UNTOUCHABLE in setting off a song.
Deck sets the tone. His album was lost in the flood of Rzas apartment, so Deck was never heard , it would've been interesting if his original album had been saved and released. 🔥
WHEN THIS JOINT DROPPED,IT SPREAD LIKE WILDFIRE!! PEACE TO THE GODS AND EARTHS!!!!
yo when that EP dropped we were like WHAT THE F*CK IS THAT???? 90s hip hop man.
Respect to y'all for being open
the ODB album is really good. the song "Proteck your neck II" is worth checking out .
this makes my heart feel warm and glad this generation is actually getting schololed with the real hiphop
Facts and Facts🏆🐐🎯🙏❤
Once again, Inspectah Deck, properly recognized for his greatness.
Wu discography is bananas, Wu family is so huge and so much talent with it all

on the white tape it was uncensored. the album was this version
9th grade banger!!!!🔥🔥🔥 Greatest group of all time
This was a shift in rap music at the time my brothas it was great to experience it as a teen
Absolutely! Their sound was so unique at that time. I remember thinking Method mans flow was amazing. There was nothing like it before them!
Just watched y’all video, good to see old school getting that love. Make sure y’all react to one of the greatest videos of all time Wu-Tang Triumph!

Always great watching people discover Wu-Tang Clan.
30 years ago and it smacked everyones head up then, good to see its still doing its thing in 2023
Classic album. I was a senior in high school when this dropped. Gotta check out more from the Wu
Staten Island’s finest 🐝
wu be an “aquired taste” we knew u would come around👏👏🔥🔥open ears lead to balanced soul 🌴trust✊🏽
YALL NEED TO DO TRIUMPH BY WU TANG...YOU GON TRIP
Y'all gotta listen to 7th chamber off of 36th chamber, Deck and Ghost's verses give me chills frfr
Everyone is there own when it comes to Wu Tang skills n there all hip-hop for real!!!!

This is the correct reaction!
wu tang killa beez on tha swarm 🐝🐝🐝
Please listen to there whole catelog, it will change your life.
Maybe my all time favorite rap song! I’m 45 and was 15 when this came out
When they came out their cadence was so unique. They were like what Nirvana did in rock music. All the other rappers were like “shzt… it’s over for us.” Wu Tang upped the game.
new york legends, Rap legends. good ol days
Loved this reaction. Y’all need bto hear triumph and for heavens sake off wutang forever
More🏆🐐🎯🙏❤
this is the first song they came out with. Probably what you should have started with lol but they are way different than other groups. good react.
If you weren’t around when this first dropped you missed it!
I was in college when Protect Ya Neck dropped... Ni66a... this EP was a warning shot fired across the bow. Then 36 Chambers came out and blew sh*t up out the water man. Great time to be alive.
This makes me want to sit these young men down and give them a crash course in hip hop history.
Each verse takes you up to another level like you are literally riding up a lyrical elevator.
One of the greatest rap song s of all time, their flow and lyrical skills were top notch, the beat was sick, most of em was from Staten Island NYC, Old Dirty Bastard was from Brooklyn NYC, they were ahead of their times, do a reaction on EPMD song , you got's to chill, keep up the good work, keep the videos coming, PEACE 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷👍
This song right here is exactly why old school will ALWAYS beat the current stuff!
This brought me back to my high school days!! 🔥🔥
I remember when you could only watch certain artist, uncensored, like Wu Tang if you had the Jukebox Network. It took a while for MTV to catch up.
The head nodding at 7:00 says it all
The Genius is the sharpest sword in the WU!
LIQUID SWORDS is a classic album by the GZA. Take a listen.
def. enjoy watching people get the same feeling i did when ifirst heard it
So happy for yall young bulls to be able to discover a Sonic boom like Wutang music. Understand in 93 I was in High School and the Wutang blew my mind just like it's blowing your minds. Understand they were like nothing anyone ever heard Sonically!
Wu-Tang set the BAR for all hip hop is measured!!!
GZA was dropping gems at the end
Wu Tang dropped like a bomb in the middle of everywhere. Im blessed to be a teenager back then. My sons life sucks 😂😂😂
Can't judge ODB in reference to other rappers, his biggest influences were soul and shit, that's why he has a crazy delivery and cadence. Why his videos like shimmy shimmy ya had 70s themes.
Just one of my wutang classics sums up my high school daz
ODB ... LOve from Croatia
The Wu the best group simply because its more then 5 of them who lyrically gifted. Its not another group like that in Hip Hop.
ODB ofc killed it remember when i first heard the Track 🔥
WuTang and OutKast are essential listening for children.
You gotta listen to the whole album.. no stop, just play it.
Yo! I’m glad y’all guys respect the clan! Ol dirty is a legend in hip hop! Y’all almost lost me on chess boxin review.
The movie Ghost Dog put me onto these guys RZA and Ol Dirty Bastard is an all time Goat
This shit came out when I was 15, niggaz was punchin niggaz in the face to this shit. WU-TANG aint just a Hip-Hop group, its a religion........Dont know how good yall are, but yall understood WU, nuff said, keep shine'n young Kings. SUBSCRIBED
Exactly! This song made violence! 💯
Remember not every songs has to be lit and bumping. Hip hop has a lot of lanes. Now a days the new “rappers” follow the same lane.
This was their break out, this was their introduction to the world. You need to verse yourselves on this entire debut album. The world was never the same after the killer bees on the swarm.
Wu Tang Heaterz
Possibly the greatest hip-hop sing ever.
Great Reaction Guys !!! Another Timeless Classic is Wu Tang Clan - Cream 🔥 & After That Also Try "Triumph" Song & Vid is Super 🔥🔥🔥
The vid is censored though
@@Adontheimperfectionist That's True, But They still should be able to catch the Barz. That Video was Legendary When it dropped in 97

Absolute masters not a weak line or flow
We told you.
Once Rolled Up Into A Barbershop And This Was Played And Barbers Stopped Cutting Until The Song Ended. Tha Head Nod Was In Full Affect...
Wu Tang is my OG. Real shit!!! 🔥🔥
It's Bone Thugs, OutKast, and Wu-Tang as far as rap groups. All you need.
