[josephfrederick]

[softwareguy256]

Ghost is razor sharp on his verse. This song has an instant hook.

[fishscale78]

dealin wiv my cipher i revolve round , respect to ghost and rae true originators

[aredmistywind]

julio iglesias.... makin' cream....

[tymoney]

No song or video out now can compete wit this jewel

[goreds07]

This is my fav. ghost verse ever

[MEGAMANG]

the way the beat goes with his verse is NUTTY as fuck

[str8sick]

lol CUban links was like that i use to watch this video all the fuckin time

[ljcs3577]

This is a rare find right here...I've seen this video twice..both times on Yo MTV Raps

[jedidzyne]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!!!! Here it is 2007 and this song still brings the pain! Back then I always heard about this video but never saw it. I personally think that MTV Jams, Rap City...all of em need to just run this video tomorrow and what it still make the top 10!! Lyrics, beats, swagger, gold chains, and Ghost in the bathrobe. This video is just classic.

[Naijalok411]

actually there's a lot of flashing on this song, idk who said something bout hteres no flashing and jewels and that stuff, but this video is actually where that whole style was born, its just hard to notice cause they're stillin the grimey era but you can see the chains, 1000 dollar silk shirts, cars, a boat, all that.

[GuntherFreubel]

Crazy banger! Ghost and Rae both smokin'dat mic! Straight classic track right here yo.

[earlgee]

No disrespect to no one but I was listening to these kats when BIG and Pac was alive and still said no one or group can fuck with the WU.

[tuzwol]

true

[thatmansupreme]

the gods work like appliances

wu tang till they bury me

[jasarzulu]

these kats got style niggas idolized these godzs in the 90's in nyc

[dealt]

never knew they did a vid for this one, and that branding iron scene...damn

[logick7]

Ghostface kills it.. then when u see Rae.. u think he'll do good.. but not as good as ghost.. then u steps up to the MIC and kills it too... crazyyyy

[djkramnik]

rae verse < ghost verse

[BENCHORD]

ghost face kills it hard

[djamafia]

only built for cuban linx...was the best wu tang album ever

[ufoseverywhere]

hell yeah! made niggas grab razors cristal crack and get connections with mobs! brought a new chapter in hip hop. motivated niggas 2 move they first kilo after they heard this one!

[Lencia214]

Theses so called rappers today cannot fuck with Wu! Food for thought, get a plate!

[kenet112]

fast toung style is ill

[blacktigerwu]

Rae did not write Ghost lyrics in this song He sounded the same as he did on all the songs he did back then . Besides every rapper style sounds different and more chill then they did way back then as compared to how they sound now.

[aredmistywind]

yup. dat hip hop....

[peprika129]

i find its ghosts best verse ever, so probably

[DatGuy16]

Did Rae really write Ghost verse?? cuz i always thought he rapped different on this track..

[liquidswords1988]

Ghost came harder on this song...nomo

[youchosedeath]

i also thought so, but rae is the cherry on top and i think thats how it usally works with them

[ryanablue]

ghost kills it, then rae takes it home

[sethstephens]

Call me doe snatcha!

[kevinerosa]

ghost verse was written by raekwon but ghost raps it mad tight

[peprika129]

and raes is even better!

[lapaca22]

ghost verse is nasty

[lapaca22]

as far wack music bein respected now adays is becuse radio is told to respcet it cause they get paid. the streets know what the real shit is but the streets don't buy cd like that. but real hip hop never died is the radio who does not want to fuck with us. fuck all of ya 94 for ever

[womezzi]

Fuck rap hip hop for me on top.

[Brugality]

What an unbelievable song. Wutang forever

[sergelapelle]

YOU WANNA GO TO WAR?

[jabron1973]

this is raekwon's hottest verse ever!!!listen to that shit!! unbeatable

[James8107]

How did hip hop go from this to shit like Walk it Out? How da fuck does that shit happen?

[pillowbill]

Even back then there was songs like tootsie roll. The bad and the good have always gone togethar.

[cronicjhonez]

tootsie roll and mc hammer were looked at as novelty

the new wack shit is respected!!!!

[TopShotta10904]

MONEY

[Mokasin82]

Raekwon the chef aka the "Slang Doctor" This was by far the best of the solo wu albums, and this beat is fuckin' retarted RZA homied this shit something crazy. Raekwon is the illest in wu

[str8upcopkilla]

WU TANG CLAN dominated the 90s... without them, east coast rap wouldn't have been the same

[blacktigerwu]

Wu-Tang ran the mid 90's

[OGMoneyStaxxx]

raekwon the fuckin chef!

[drodriguez920]

I was in High school when the Wu started getting rotation and everytime I listen to these records it puts a smile on my face and brings tears to my eyes. I am blessed for being able to grow up on real hip hop. BIG was nice, but the Wu brought the East back...

[shady7373]

This song was built only 4 cuban linx u know wat i mean........AMAZINGGGGGG

[hovito87]

[youchosedeath]

[1worthyman]

This shit is still hot as hell......I MISS REAL HIP HOP.

[dreday86]

[MRGRAY4LIFE]

"fuck rap hiphop for me off top" rea seen it back then wow!!!

[KARCIKOTEKA]

carla brown_dovi

[Rennie00]

I think was still in junior high when this song was released. And I remember that purple tape too.

[johnclampy]

Lace them niggas, son!!!!

[easthorn88]

YA'LL GOT THAT "WU TANG " "JODECI" MIX

[royalsteven]

Yeah i feel what y'all are saying. But the underground 'was' commercial back then. Nowadays those have been seperated. The underground is still ill and the commercial shit sucks.

[Broyale26]

You make a good point about how what is considered undergroud was popular back then, but what I meant was the stuff that wasn't getting played on the radio or video rotation. Nowadays its whomever doesn't talk about crack, grillz or hoes is labeled underground.

[shuaduah]

True, true. Whatever the case we can both agree that hip hop today watered down like the kool aid I just took a sip of.

[yyawannaknow]

(ha ha ha.) I feel ya shuaduah what happened to the good s**t

[DTAYLOR0092]

I fell in love with that cuban linx album Lots of memorable songs on there.

[highjackerz]

RZA up there wit Dilla, primo,and pete rock

[DOMINICANSUNSHYN]

YES!

[yura409]

True hip-hop..not a fashion show like it is today mad memories!!!
