RZA's production on this whole album was incredible you can see how Kanye West was influenced. This IMO is one of the best Wu songs. All three were flowing so well on this. Ghostface Killah really shined the most on this album. It's like out of all Wu members (and Deck and Meth are my faves), he just got better and better!
ODB was in prison when this was made. Prison or rehab. He appears on one of the songs - I think he recorded his verse via phone line. It's a good verse too.
High potency top, smoke a bag of black And feel the vibe, wanna be wise We, form on a rising corner mean five Laws in disguise, throw on your slides Young niggas racist, smokers is basic We seen the eyes, laying up playing the cut What, stay in the truck, something told me duck Folding me up, my shoulders struck Out of luck, fuck the potters up Fell on a daze like a Golotta snuff Niggas tried to body me up OFFICIAL TISSUE SOOONNNNNNNNNNNN!
They all apart of the illumanti..NWO... puppets at its finest... do some research...learn the truth...this show dont talk about any real issue what a waste for the america people..no one stands for anything anymore...just puppets for money, wake up america their messages in the films, music every where. youtube illmanti-jayz, beyonce, lady gaga, modonna, christina aguliar, tom cruise etc so many for the love of money ...its a setup.dont sell your soul for money..
I had The W and that shyt was. is, and always will be a classic. Then again, anything Wu drop is classic. I remember I 1st heard this shyt and I thought it was a newer verison of "C.R.E.A.M".
LeonnnB im sorry to say but this beat is huge. When i say 'huge' i mean its effect is massive, even though it is completely minimalistic. It's essentially the bassline (which is sick as fuck) which drives the rhythm. f they've done anything at all to the drums it's reduce them. I think it's not only brilliant but innovative in a genre often known for amping up the drums, not cutting them out almost completely. And this tune still bangs hard man, one of my faves
@dizzy986 he was in jail during the recording. There is one track on the album with Snoop and ODB, but it sounds like that these lyrics where recorded on a portable recorder or something.. song is called "conditioner"
No, it "that splash against my hollow bones" its from syl johnsons song "is it because im black" the whole line is THE DARK BROWN SHADES OF MY SKIN ONLY ADD COLOR TO MY TEARS. THAT SPLASH AGANST MY HOLLOW BONES, THAT ROCKS MY SOUL.
@imcurtis206 whats fucked up is that cypress hill got sued by syl johnsons estate last year over that cypress hill song using the sample but nothing was done for Wu using it, maybe they had clearance?
I haven't a clue who any of those people are though, I thought you were saying, I know what I'm talking about with respect to THE RZA, because your black, so I agreed.
I hope thats not racist, its ment to be a compliment.
i was replying to blacktigerwu... I was reefering to the songs with the title "Is it because im black" and i wrote that it was sampled from Ken Boothe who has a version of the original from Syl Johnson... So there;)
