[RiftRaft123]

I keep replaying Method man part over and over. Nigga slaughtered the beat.

0:24 - 0:46 one of the best beats ever

[houst69]

[TimrodRa]

everybody get some headphones and listen to the beat closely sounds incorperated is pure genius wu tang forever

[Redboy1ism]

Ghost Face Killah had the best verse on the whole entire song.All of his verses is complex.Raekwon once said that "Ghost attack the mic like a chessboard.And the Rza even said that Ghost is in his "Top5".

[aar0n2388]

ghost face killaaaaaaaaaaah...no one can get iller

[bootsyt11]

i got my nickname "ghost" from tony the the kid because I was always coming up with the wildest lingo, haha, even my principle called me that, best honor ever. Bootsy Wu from the the bird city AZ, 1Love!

[wegoAZNDummy]

why on Earth would anyone dislike this...?

[XeroFailGames]

@wegoAZNDummy cuz they fear true hip-hop/rap

[whatnots1]

The whole world is pitch black. Toney, u my nigga. My favorite ghost track next to strawberry

[kinstube]

WOWZERZ !!!!!!!! GOTTA LOVE THE WU !!!!!

[JBWIOOP]

Classic!....I love that grimey NY sound.

[rj689]

back then nas, gza , ghostface and reakwon had shit on lock nobody was on they level. only mcs in the modern day that would keep up is lupe fiasco, jay electronica, elzhi.

[romanisbetter]

That scratchin when the beat drops on "all you bitches/bitches/bitches." Too much, one of the best hip hop tunes ever.

[MrBlamesociety]

the little intro to rae's verse is soooo illlll. where is that from?

[kingrob29]

Slammin!

[sfknns]

"This rap shit bust yo gun & leave you stunned pull ya plug now you can't fucntion theres no total or sum to this equation you frozen many may come but few are chosen many niggas wanna play the war posing when the ruckus come they be the first to get they shine stolen do or die or it be I metaphysical man holding court with my wu indivisible clan I see hands & yo thoughts & yo reaching its getting deep in this mud cats heat seeking" meth son!

[wordsliketurds]

"100 % mind, 100 % body, 100 % soul - individual..."

My favorite off Ironman.

[magana1984]

"90 minute Maxell tapes, instrumental breaks, Bangin earaches, lay my verse down in two takes"....

[showmustgoonson]

[ThisIsVice]

[ViktorVaughnVillain]

[Iroh624]

[kingrob29]

Getaway driver this white bitch from outta town...Nice!

[danielquezada1]

[6thDisciple]

You know a group (clan) is special when you listen to albums over and over and over, and still get goosebumps...this shit just gets me!!!!

[killlilwayne]

[jasun27]

[6thDisciple]

He's rocking the Wally's he talks about at the beginning of Glaciers of Ice.

Haha

[BeatSmithEsco44]

@6thDisciple BLUE AND CREAM, word is bond son, Ima rock niggas this summer lmao

[StaringAtFate]

does anyone else wonder why the beat in the beginning isn't used in the main song?

[funkbrother216]

@StaringAtFate Because that beat makes a better lead-in.

[StaringAtFate]

@funkbrother216 it would have made the song a lot better if the intro beat went in and out of the main song

[xldjvista]

"I'm 'bout to get smacked silly/ Like a fat bitch in spandex Free Willy/ We on simile/" Method Motherfucking man.

[seriousrapshit]

POSIN FOR THEM NIGGAS UP IN POLAND...

[NizzleHudsizzle]

"Yo we strong arm;

manipulating niggas, scraping niggas.

Taking plates from niggas, hate fakin' niggas.

Yo, you hear me?

The whole shit's like wrestling,

what, you dear me?

Back the fuck up kid, we flexin'."

I always rewind that part, esp. since the beat changes there too. My fav part of the song, Rae is a BEAST.

[scruffyrunkin]

spliff lit / super hit / get lifted / smoke with the whalliby kid

bass hits hard as i ride this wu-dart

[kingrob29]

GFK and the Chef are like PBJ. Does that make Meth the fluff? Maybe this wasn't the greatest comparison.(lol)

[datcheeseyguy]

there's a remix on youtube using the beat at 0.29 with eminem and a couple other people. can't remember the name of the song though desperately trying to find it lol

[RichyJA]

when I was a kid all the older dudes use to talk about Wu and the 36 chambers

[jsinatra15]

method mans verse was sick

[ghostninjax]

love this classic shit

[elvi84]

favorite this

[renegadeAssKicker]

yo this whole album is work out music for me.. I get it cracking in the gym listening to this joint.. luv it W 4 Eva...

[millwallfan06]

deliver a death varent.. killah shit.

[LetsPressPlayNow]

0:29 best part of that beat

[xxbennyboixx]

When the bass goes major eh?

[MainOffenderKZ]

watch?v=xjWvRZe9iXs

[MainOffenderKZ]

necro sampled this song

check out my videos i uploaded it and many more

[pk000]

this beat is just amazing.

[Kochasiech]

For me, Ironman is the best Wu LP.

[00cjak00]

that first sample goes hard, would make a dope beat in itself.

[bottomdogman]

METH comes HARRRD on this 1.

[1Fishead19931]

the beat wot lasts from 26secs until 48 is too much, there a memory man ditc vs wu tang that uses that with fat joe sucess over the top

[1Fishead19931]

**Memory man ; D.I.T.C. vs WU TAng Mixtape

[1Fishead19931]

as 1 of the tracks

[iancurtis86]

DITC vs. Wu-Tang mixtape?? Say whaat? Downloading NOW

[jloker77]

sick instrumental.

[sillysileighty]

2:20 Shotgun up the nose!! YES!!! Ghost and Rae= PB and J. But I like bacon on my PB and J..... Meth is the bacon! The RZA is the bread that makes the foundation for my favorite sandwich which was fucking dank.

[MadmanApex]

interesting analogy... but TRUE!!!

[slimson28]

@sillysileighty that just blew my fukking head.

[mdm1041]

@sillysileighty 

[kinetikwun]

Boots is brown

[JeReL19]

Meth got the black Wu Clux Clan hoody going on 2:48

[BigPreme]

haha dude got the force MDs picture at the beginning. Classic group!

[lilsharkhunter]

I almost lost my mind at 2:43

Oh RZA, only he would pull shit like that

[LivelyFetus]

I'm going crazy trying to find a remixed version of this that was on an old school Tony Touch mixtape. I'm talking CASSETTE tape that I copped a couple of months before this album dropped...

[chrisem81]

@LivelyFetus

yeah i love that one. i had it, got taken when my house got robbed, fukn heartbreaking

[nemesis700]

@LivelyFetus you talkin bout the one wit street life?

[Wobbothe3rd]

@nemesis700 I'm pretty sure that's it, I forgot they added StreetLife to it.

[Wobbothe3rd]

@LivelyFetus yeah the original verions of this song had a totally different beat, it used a much faster guitar sample. The only thing it has in common with this song was the same rappers

[legendstatus10]

@Wobbothe3rd My G, this is the original version of Box in Hand off the Ironman album research it.

[WESHMAN50s]

some of these kids have no idea!

[BlackPanther280]

this is definantly the original version of this song. what are you talking about? #8 off the ironman album, with the wallys on the cover. how old are you wobbothe3rd?

[NoodlesDaGoon]

@BlackPanther280 the original version is now called "when you walk". it was left off due to sample issues and is on the hidden darts compilation. when they did this the tracklist was already complete so it was named 'box in hand' by default

[nemesis700]

funny how people like the first beat...i prefer the second..with that sickass piano

[borchabronx]

@nemesis700

wit ya on that, that sickass piano blows my mind

rza menacing

[DJShakillz]

@borchabronx Rza has masterd the art of sound!

[187OnThemBitches]

the Wu... damn they make my heart beat faster

[kinetikwun]

FREE WILLY

[SNoCappidona]

the wu tang will survive.

[bdoyle23]

yo DUN DUNN

[princegrooves]

thats a real producer though, someone who can afford to combine two sick beats in one song. rza's so smart he knows he'll make even more dope shit later. most producers these days would make 5 songs out of this one if they were creative enough to understand how to make sounds like this

[sheemsheem]

OB4CL SEPT 11th!

[sheemsheem]

I WAS INCORRECT...reakwons album dropped on the 8th...its bomb...songs on youtube...but buy the album support real artists

[styleE5000]

All these fools are ill on deck.

[ThaRealERAQ]

The Wu-tang will survive cuz wu is forever! This was the hardest joint on IRONMAN without a doubt. That shit sounds like the world is coming to an end or something.

[JasonVoorheesLives]

cherchez le ghost

[meelo305]

like a fat bitch in spandex, free willy!!!!!

[CactusAM]

the second beat is sooooooooooooooo fucking awesome with the sick piano roll what you chumps mean? wincherster rifles in tha kitchen

[CactusAM]

however the chef + tony do an absolutely outstanding job (as usual). one of my favorite tracks. it's like OB4CL + method man. which is why it is such a stand-out track.

[CactusAM]

no... kheo method man does his usual outshine job.. how could you be mislead

[killarmy101]

fuck i wish it would stay as the first beat so baddd!!!!

[chicagoconnoisseur]

Yo, I feel the same way. Check out the

1st video response from Swordraiser. He freaked it!!!!!!!!!

[swellybelly]

Me too man. That's the only think I dislike about RZA. Alot of his songs start out with dope beats and then it changes. I'm not saying this song isn't dope, because it is, I'm just syaing it would have been awesome if they took the first beat and made it into a seperate song.

[dlux000]

dope....but it always pissed me off how the beat changed...the first beat was FIRREEE....still good shit tho.....

[Soneriu]

wu tang, wu tang 5*****

[huey4226]

Flexed out, flinstone style

[joorster]

lekker hoor.

Groetjes uit Amsterdam.

[canibusLE2]

metaphysical man

[jesterflows]

on the real for them niggas upn poland rollin next to da jester of the czech republics king court!

[zomot33]

dope fuken beat.... can't believe people compare rza to premo.... premo is siikkk too but there is no comparison....

[mendmatic]

rza is straight up grimey, preemo is fresh. both are great

[zomot33]

true true, they were the shit in the 90's

[sydgrimes]

not godly nations or god relations

its goddamnations

[NSO82]

that scream you hear in the first beat of this song.....its from a video game for sega genesis called slaughterhouse.

[SwordRaizah]

to me, those 20 seconds in the beginning are the best piece of music RZA has ever made. genius. and you gotta love the scratching in the background "all you bitch ass niggas in the industry".. this shit sounds SO dope its unreal.. and the whole track is Masterpiece, hip hop classic

[fukwaynecampaign2]

@ desmesnae "GOD RELATIONS" not "godly nations"

[tmacford]

so real rap fans do still exist!!! Yesssss!!!

[XXAK57XX]

this song was actually not the real box in hand......TRUE it was the one on that album but .............someone knows what i'm talkin about

[Jeppzzzz]

there was another version but this ones got the better beat

[aesopk]

"Walkin' down the street with yo' box in your hand and ur playin' that music from the Wu Tang Clan"

[desmesnae]

"We loved horse racin'/ shaking jakes in high- speed chases/ porno stations/ drinkin' violations/ godly nations 90 minute maxell tapes".... Always that visual kaleidoscope, ya'meen?!?

[christopheros]

The first beat is good but the track wouldn't be the same without the change

[BringTheRiot]

love this song but the beat from 0:25-0:45 hits harder than the one used in the rest of the song

[GOVEA916]

Necro used that beat in some freestyle i think someone help me out

[Wobbothe3rd]

@GOVEA916 I thought it was "fish" he used on the Street mixtape? "Tabloid update"

or maybe were thinking of different mixtapes?

[eutue]

@GOVEA916 Necro, Ill Bill, Gore-Tex, Mr. Hyde rocked on this beat very well

[killarmy101]

fuck i wish it woould stay the way the first beat is

[hagnuj]

ENY GOT THAT SHT BBY

[TLGATZKE]

like a fat bitch in spandex,

Free Willy!

[spyder851]

88 style throwing bottles.

[ShaolinSoldier]

I'm uploading the intro instrumental right now, check my shit in a few days

[IraqiScottishMuslim]

is that a different track from 25-45?

[diderr01]

love the first :47 seconds of beat.

[dimez2nasty]

Thought The Same

[delldiggy]

This song is ill... Rae started with bars that were incomplete, if you can hear it. Not many rappers today can make a COMPLETE VERSE sound as good as those two unfinished lines!

[yoitsgiook]

Yeah man, Rae kills it. That shit is my favorite verse. The flow is so ill!

[POIZNDRAGNBronx]

wu-tang was ahead of there time,till this day no one even compares to them. my brothers are one of a kind.

[N33NJAH]

this song hits you in the gut.

[ukarema]

All you upcoming rappers and producers need to study this album like an exam.

[brainsinCan]

this song kind of makes me upset, cause it reminds me ow fuckin awesome wu was up until that record and that if im correct was the last song or if the the second last, It realy marked an end for me for my favorite group (some of forever and supreme clientele aside)

[pk000]

much of the W was great too...some of rza's most innovative beats too

[Sooftah]

@pk000 the W is a back to back classic. no skippable material.

[itachiyates]

Scenario rap, rap imperial, material (uh, yo yo, yo, yo)

Murderin' cats is like that real

[itachiyates]

Blend wine, who want to win mine Shorty get a ten-round for floatin With the richest, huh Flexed out, Flinstone style Your crimi-nal pen pal kidnapped Loud, jetted the Mosyin, posin for them niggaz up in Poland Rollin wax style museum, G 'em Them richest niggaz bless this Like Russian cut VVS's Slide the hatchback, black were finessing this Them niggaz over there know, Gazelle goggles And them Lottos, 88 style, throwin' bottles (bottles)

[Bomboclaat]

Tical fuck the track

[hcgiii]

anyone know if the first part of this beat ever been isolated? clearly the entire production is on point, but the first part (that later reprises with meth for like 2 seconds) is bananas. i know cats often make tapes on parts of beats so just curious

[sntial5]

hehe bro I know what you're sayin! that part is my favorite, it's at 2:43 to be exact where the bass line hits at the same time as the piano sample and continues for the rest of the track. I duno about anyone isolating it though

[maturystyka]

damn yeah! this is the best part, beer for you :) this piano sample is magic. intro is great too.

[pk000]

also great...in the middle of method man's verse where you hear a sped-up sample get faster and faster than then disappear.

so many little things about this track that make it great!

[thenglishmajor]

I think the "real" box in hand is better--especially the Method verse. Where can I find that version? Anyone know?

[kheo]

funny thin i hate the "real" version, the meth verse i cant recall but i hated the beat streetlife verse, i mean hate is a strong word, put it this way i always skipped it on the mixtape i used to have it on

[SickSense123]

I said Meth murked it but everybody went hard on this track i cant put one verse over the other all have different and diverse styles which makes the track unique one of Ghostface's best tracks as far as the Iron Man album is concerned

[kheo]

thanx man keep checkin in with the rest of my vids

[youchosedeath]

What?

[Eriverson]

Raekwon:"Niggaz up in Poland" - We aint got niggaz in Poland 99% are white :D ,but track is dope ,WU 4 EVER

[wesowen87]

Listen man, don't take everything we say litterally- when he say niggas up in Poland, he just means guys in Poland. He don't mean black guys in poland dude. He's callin you a nigga, but not a negro, no what I'm sayin man? Its slang pimpin, my black friends call my white ass nigga all the time.

[kheo]

@wesowen

well put.

[geniusgza7]

rza did an amazing job on this track!

[kheo]

i must be in the minority because i always thought it was overproduced and unfocused, its all over the place. there are parts i like parts i dont i love when the bass comes in at 2:43 it needed to come in more often, but maybe that was some of the genius of rza all art is viewed differently by different ppl.
