Masta Killa: The flow changes like a chameleon Plays like a friend and stabs you like a dagger This technique attacks the immune system Disguised like a lie, paralysin' the victim I've been listening to this song for almost 30 years and I knew how tightly written Masta Killa's verse was. But I JUST peeped how deep these 4 bars are. Masta Killa is so overlooked and underrated, 2nd only to Deck Homicide's illegal and death is the penalty What justifies the homicide when he dies in his own iniquity? One of the best opening lines in hip hop
Not even Wu Tang compares to this! That said, it's unfair to compare everything to this. It's like saying rock music today is trash because there aren't any rock bands today that makes music as good as The Beatles 🤣 I'm actually a fan of Wu Tang, and have a lot of love for them... But I do not think they are among the greatest. Why? They fell off so quickly! They've been releasing new albums every few years for almost three decades. How much of that is memorable? 36 Chambers is among the best of the best, but what about the albums released after that? They've been consistently mediocre. I'm only including group albums here. If we include solo albums, we are no longer talking about them as a group. (That said, I think Ghostface Killah has been extremely consistent with his solo catalogue.)
@@christopher399 yes, it's memorable because we grow up with this, we listened to this hundred and hundred of times, and we look for the shit that we love, new things sometimes are trash, so we come back to this incredible song, album or whatever, is better to listen to this, bsically it remembers the good old days
@@christopher399 yes, but I mean, "THAT type of shit" like, music today is so trash (sadly) so we get back here because it remembers good moments (for me) and I think that this "type" of Hip-Hop is not what we have today
ODB!! He’s literally the drunken master out of all of them. And one of the illest, his unorthodox style on the mic, his flow and his voice is addicting
BG Mike 1337 If you live in the U.S. and you don't know what the Emancipation Proclamation is, I feel sorry for you.The Emancipation Proclamation was an Executive order signed by Abraham Lincoln declaring all Slaves Free.
Yeah for real, still have to check his solo joints. Its mad ghost came from the background to be the top notch rapper in the crew but God didnt get half the shine.
inspectah deck literally murdered this track, u-god prepared the coffin, raekwon revived it just to ODB to kill it again. ghostface sent it to the grim reaper and masta sent it to heaven.
@@luizsouza2806for how I see it, not at all lol, i think this song is way less deep than what people might think and there's nothing wrong about it. U-god was just rapping about how strong he is and i think that the way he delivers that along with his deep voice and his attitude is a really good way of opening a track like this
Your right about that 100%, as a matter of fact there are alot of rappers that i think is underated that has good skill and art that is not being recognized.
I bought this the day it came out and listen regular but today I been feeling Odb's verse on this track, he was so underrated, there was no father to his style
They did a small documentary on showtime or HBO yrs ago sitting in a movie theater, and all of them said whenever inspectah deck would spit his verse 1st, it made them write their shit over.
If people really listened to the lyrics of a lot of rappers they would see a lot of them are actual literal lyrical geniuses, a lot of people just listen to the beats and wait for words to rhyme though.
This is actually Masta Killas' first verse with the Wu, as he was a late addition to the group, and it was the first verse he had ever written! Incredible when you think about it. One of the best verses of all time in my opinon.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE SUPREME WHEN NEARLY 30 YEARS LATER, EVERYONE IS STILL ROCKIN YOUR DOPE ASS SHIT. IM IN MY 40S AND ILL BE LISTEING TO THIS WHEN IM OLD AS FUCK. SOME THINGS NEVER GET OLD.
@DR. OX it's a tricky situation I do agree they could've visited but I don't fault them for being done. If I found out any of my homies was smokin crack in front of they Son i gotta cut em off cause that's foul
I honestly can't pick my favorite with this group I mean come on, they were ALL so fire They all had that style that kept your head bangin I moved to N.Y about 2 years ago and my first day here i was bumpin Wu and many others. A dude banged on my door so when i opened it he asked " is that you bumpin that Wu?" I said "Yeah" he said " i Have a problem with that, It's not loud enough" Got to love true Hip Hop fans!
Wu-Tang clan is the compilation of them. Wu-tang clan is Inspektah deck,Raekwon the chef,method man,RZA,GZA,ghostface killah,Masta killah,U-God together. And ODB of course. R.I.P.
"There will never be a rapper like *ODB* Anymore" RIP a true unique legend who mix singing and hip hop perfectly at the same time all this with out saying that he has the crazyest flow i ever heard
YOU SAID IT ALL... TRUTH WITH NO DOUBTS I.M.O .... I BEEN HERE SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING. JUST TURNED 42YESTERDAY. I REMEMBER BEING AMAZED BY O.D.B AND HE NEVER HELD BACK ON ANY LEVEL. WU-TANG IS FOR THE CHILDREN!!!
ODB is like that drunken man on those Kung Fu movies. You think they can't fight but they end up kicking your ass while they are drunk. That's how his rap style was. Rap circles around you...
ODB's verse is so legendary. The thing I love about ODB is he the perfect Hip Hop embodiment of Sam Seed (Yuen Siu-Tien) aka the old drunken guy that was a master low key from Drunken Master, Snake In Eagles Shadow, Mystery Of Chess Boxing, etc
The whole album was nuts. I remember when it came out, it was all anyone could talk about. We got a few little hints of what was to come before the release, and it was just perfect how the whole thing was rolled out. I think it was right about this track, if you were listening to the album from start to finish, that the competition probably couldn’t help but put there heads in their hands, laugh, and just say, “it’s gonna be a while before anyone else tops this shit right here.”
Thank you for this song. I was diagnosed with MS in 2023 and this song and video plus Masta Ace speaking on our illness has given the strength to deal. ♥️
I've had MS for over 20 years and still going strong with no major deficits besides mildly numb hands. Hopefully you have the relapsing-remitting type like I have as it's easily treatable by new meds. Progressive MS is no joke and can be nearly as bad as ALS. Good luck on your journey.
STR 8 MF FACTS!! Now in 2023 you got nail polish rainbow hair tight pants wearing non binary weirdos doing hip hop. SMH! 90s was the best hip hop era!! No questions asked!!
@@Jame6999 bro, I don’t even know! To be for real though it’s probably that I fucked with his enunciation so much that it took me a while to learn a lot of his lyrics just cause it was so funny to make the noises 🤣
@@thomasdr08 to be honest with you. After all these decades of listening to this album and track. I'm talking about me having the cassette tapes and CD! I JUST NOW LOOKED UP INSPEKTAH DECK VERSE! After reading his lyrics it all made sense and pretty crafty and creative.
U God is very underrated when he said my Hip Hop will rock n shock the nation like the emancipation proclamation I knew he was on another level lyrically.
michael truthson his energy made his line most memorable even thou he not the most lyrical. Pulled the same gift on ghetto superstar and mariah carey song Dirt McGirt 💯

ODB is a unique flavor in hip hop. Greatest flow is not a way I would describe his style though.

I was looking for this comment, he’s got the hardest verse on the song no doubt, saved the best for last🔥
Only Bob Marley and Masta Killa have i ever heard using iniquity as a lyric lol

Sorry but no

You're all wrong. Mastah Killah had the best verse.
Fight me. ;D
There's no question that Ol' Dirty Bastard was the heart and soul of the Wu-Tang Clan.
i agree,now could u explain this video,for me, in the aspect of the chess pieces!
They completed each other… don’t underestimate the lyrical genius of inspecta Deck.. 🙌🏻
I remeber when wu came out of nowhere in the early 90s. Hip hop was already at its highest. Wu took the world by storm. No other sound like it!!!
Oh Shit 🎤
This is why I love Wu-Tang. No fancy hooks or fancy beats, just raw fierce bars.
Catchy hooks and beats though.
great beat tho
Their beats are 100% on point particularly on enter the 36 chambers
LOL No fancy beats? they have a catalog of creative beats, AND catchy hooks.
Captain Deadpool ~ I think that he meant there's none of that 'over-produced' bullshit they try to pass off as Hip Hop today.
ODB has one of the most unique flows I've ever heard... easily one of the most memorable figures in Hip-Hop history.

It’s crazy how RZA tried hard to get Ghost to spit with them, and Ghost ended up being the MOST predominate consist member Wu

"it's the master of the mantis rapture comin at ya" one of the best lines
"Homicide's illegal and death is the penalty

2:34 made me sad, cause ODB introduced Ghost so humbly like he was fan. I mean I know he probably on something, but he definitely loved the Wu.

They were like brothers. They loved each other like family.
@DR. OX in they defense how many times can you help someone that doesn't want help. Odb was getting high in front of his kids
@DR. OX it's a tricky situation I do agree they could've visited but I don't fault them for being done. If I found out any of my homies was smokin crack in front of they Son i gotta cut em off cause that's foul
@DR. OX ODB had his issues, but I guarantee if it was one of the other members, he would have been there. Still love Wu though.
"The Wu-Tang Style is immensely strong, and immune to nearly any weapon. When its properly used, it's almost invincible"
god damn right!
I honestly can't pick my favorite with this group
I mean come on, they were ALL so fire
They all had that style that kept your head bangin
I moved to N.Y about 2 years ago and my first day here i was bumpin Wu and many others. A dude banged on my door so when i opened it he asked " is that you bumpin that Wu?" I said "Yeah" he said " i Have a problem with that, It's not loud enough"

ODB is like that drunken man on those Kung Fu movies. You think they can't fight but they end up kicking your ass while they are drunk. That's how his rap style was. Rap circles around you...
Enter the dragon
That’s exactly who the old dirty bastard is 😭 He got his name from the kung fu movies, the man with no father to his style
ODB was crazy with his flow and could hang with anyone on the mic as big daddy kane. ODB was no joke as a MC at that time in 1995.
@@lauraalexander8144 where r the chess pieces??
Suuuuuuuu yeah boyeeeeeerr he a goooow
R.i.p. DIRTY, HE BROUGHT ME TO TEARS, HIS DRUNKEN STYLE WAS UNMATCHED WITH ANYONE, HE WAS THE FLOWING BLOOD IN THE VEINS OF THE WU TANG, PERIOD!
When Raekwon said "peace out to all the crooks and N's with bad looks", I felt that
Lol
💪🏾
Oh shit I thought that was redman
Ray Kwon said that? Isn't it Redman
that’s raekwon bruh
The way ODB ryhmed vroom vroom
And dun dun da in his verse...no body else can do that
ain't no father to his style
I think Monche does onomatopoeia just as well actually.
Wu Tang Wu Tang Wu Tang Wu Tang
HOMICIDE'S ILLEGAL AND DEATH IS THE PENALTY
that lyrics of Masta Killa killed everybody's career
Inspectah Deck’s part was always my favorite in this song. Damn, it just sounds so good!
ODB's verse is so legendary. The thing I love about ODB is he the perfect Hip Hop embodiment of Sam Seed (Yuen Siu-Tien) aka the old drunken guy that was a master low key from Drunken Master, Snake In Eagles Shadow, Mystery Of Chess Boxing, etc
Win chun. Drunk style
Exactly!!
That's why he's called ODB lol
bro, I've been looking for this sample for so long, do you have a file?
they woke doe
Ugod is so underrated!!! The series is so legendary!!ghost is the goat. Dude playing him is so perfect!!
Masta's verse on this is one of the best in Wu Tang history.
how does the pieces move in the video
Yes
@@bdeoliln4379 what I mean is, each Wu Tang members which chess pieces r each n every one of em??
It's truly one of the best verses in hip hop's history
100% true
ODB was the greatest MC of all time. Great flow and a cerebral assassin.
Old Dirty introducing the Wu and Ghost was the hardest shit in history
Facts 💯💯💯💯💯
The whole album was nuts. I remember when it came out, it was all anyone could talk about. We got a few little hints of what was to come before the release, and it was just perfect how the whole thing was rolled out. I think it was right about this track, if you were listening to the album from start to finish, that the competition probably couldn’t help but put there heads in their hands, laugh, and just say, “it’s gonna be a while before anyone else tops this shit right here.”
They were on a month squared level and still are!!!.
The CD came out November 1993 the same month when the Doggystyle CD came out Doggystyle hit #1 on the album chart
Yeah man.. when this album dropped you heard this jawn radiate up and down the east coast..
Dude this shyt was absolute fire. I always had it bumping my ride back in the 90’s
Oh yeah u wanna hear it bitch hey I'ma tell how many huh how many of them is it
I'll never get tired of this song
Thank you for this song. I was diagnosed with MS in 2023 and this song and video plus Masta Ace speaking on our illness has given the strength to deal. ♥️
I've had MS for over 20 years and still going strong with no major deficits besides mildly numb hands. Hopefully you have the relapsing-remitting type like I have as it's easily treatable by new meds. Progressive MS is no joke and can be nearly as bad as ALS. Good luck on your journey.
Masta's flow is insane! What a verse
Forreal
the flow changes like chameleon, plays like a fiend then stabs you like a dagger
That last word always got me. "....contender." just perfect stamp to end the verse.
ODB brings that touch of Maniacal gritty style that no other artists before or after could ever achieve. ODB love ya
wheres the chess pieces for this video??
@@luizsouza2806 The rappers are!! Human pieces!!
@@tomaswildanger5238 can u tell me which is which rapper/ chess piece!!

@@FatherMePlease yeah an Mystikal too
0:03 - that sword sound is also on The Prodigy's "Breathe"
I fw that song and didn’t even. Know. I knew it was familiar LOL
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 both ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
3:21 give me goosebumps
Chanting that with 30k other fans is a feeling that can't be beat.. glad I got to see them last year #RIPODB
Definitely one of Wu-Tang Clan's Greatest Songs. This jam was also one of the reasons why 90's Hip Hop Music was so Special.
It was the Golden Age of Hip Hop.
1993-1996
STR 8 MF FACTS!! Now in 2023 you got nail polish rainbow hair tight pants wearing non binary weirdos doing hip hop. SMH! 90s was the best hip hop era!! No questions asked!!
Agree!!!
“Here I go, deep type flow,
Jacques Cousteau couldn’t get this low”
Just caught that bar 20 something years later
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
WHAT?! HOW DID YOU MISS THAT? It's clear as day.
@@Jame6999 bro, I don’t even know! To be for real though it’s probably that I fucked with his enunciation so much that it took me a while to learn a lot of his lyrics just cause it was so funny to make the noises 🤣
@@thomasdr08 to be honest with you. After all these decades of listening to this album and track. I'm talking about me having the cassette tapes and CD! I JUST NOW LOOKED UP INSPEKTAH DECK VERSE!
After reading his lyrics it all made sense and pretty crafty and creative.
@@Jame6999 lol same. We been down since “6 Feet Deep”! 🔥🔥🔥
When he said “Let’s warming up a little bit… vrooom vroom…” Smh ODB a genius
U God is very underrated when he said my Hip Hop will rock n shock the nation like the emancipation proclamation I knew he was on another level lyrically.
His verse on Killa Beez is absolutely ridiculous
Like all rap like all old school rap like all hip-hop like all 90s💯
even in the label pitch he dropped an amazing Tutankhamun reference like it was some throwaway bar and never used it anywhere else lol
The G.O.A.T of rap groups
si
Yes i
My father brought me this CD for my 12th b'day. To this day I still know every track word for word.
They didn't have Disney music back then. This is for adults and maybe HS teens
Your guy is really a good guy😍
Amazing dad
W dad
This underlines - WU-Tang is for the childrens.
Props for ya cool dad🙌
So much talent in one record, it’s fucking nuts
And Masta stole the show on this one.
Good someone mention mastakilla respect man!
Master Killa said on vlad that chessboxing was the first rap he ever wrote.
Good Lord! You are absolutely right. All these years and I finally appreciate it so much more.
Since then, he has really mellowed out.
ODB and ghost were better here
Trying to pick your favorite Wu-Tang Clan member is like trying to pick your favorite child. You can't and should not even try.
The ODB was just so off beat and odd so he's my favorite
GhostFace Killah
michael truthson his energy made his line most memorable even thou he not the most lyrical.
Pulled the same gift on ghetto superstar and mariah carey song
Dirt McGirt 💯
Rebel INS and GZA
Method man and ODB. I dont feel guilty either.
Not enough people are praising how awesome the video is - the sets, camera cuts, and visuals takes this to a whole fucking next level
so what was the visual take as a chess game
I don’t listen to rap nearly as much as I used to. But no matter how much I drift away from rap, I’ll always continue listening to Wu-Tang.
Errrm, it's hip hop?
@@stevenking9271 lol chill hip hop and rap similar but I'd probably call the wu tang rap
@@stevenking9271It's both, there's no difference. This some 🤓 type shit.
