Saluting The Wu!

Yeah, when you hear the two words "NY MCs", the first thing that ought to appear on your inner screen is, nothing lesser than, the mighty Wu-Tang Clan!

So, to salute these generals of the Rap-militia, let me post my top 5 of Wu tracks!
Without further introduction, here's the songs!

#5:
GZA Feat. Killa Priest - B.I.B.L.E (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth)

This song is what mainstream-heads need to get blasted, real lyricism and real producin'.

#4
Wu-Tang Clan - Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthin' To Fuck With

For me, this song is not the best, but I simply loving listening to this song, the beat is off the hook, and the lyrics being broken down by the Clan is, as self proclaimed, ain't nuthin' to fuck with!

#3
Wu-Tang Clan - Protect Ya Neck

This track has got to receive lots of love, simply for putting the Wu on the rap-map!

#2
Wu-Tang Clan - Triumph

The lyrics of this track... Well, I don't have to explain, simply listen to it, and you will understand my views!

#1
Wu-Tang Clan - C.R.E.A.M (Cash Rules Everything Around Me)

This is for being the only rap-classic that I would pull up if anybody asked me for a track with meaning and talent.

It might have appeared to you, that I did not use any tracks from their new album. Why? 'Cause the Wu-Tang haven't been doing the better tracks lately.
But still, they're single handed (well, multi-handed) the best group of all time, in my opinion!

Let's count down the three most crucial battles in the rap-history.

Number 3
The Bridge Wars:
This battle was all about representation, which is one of the biggest parts of the Hip Hop culture, wether it's grafitti, Breaking or rapping we're talking about. We had the Bronx up against the Queens.
"Manhattan keeps on makin it, brooklyn keeps on takin it
Bronx keeps creatin it, and queens keeps on fakin it"

Number 2
Cypress Hill Vs. Westside Connections

This battle is crucial, 'cause it really showed the effect rap had on the real life. We had Cypress H. going at WC, and all of sudden, we had the Latinoes going at the blacks in LA.
Luckely, this beef was squashed, otherwise it might had resulted in an interracial war.

Number 1
The Real Roxanne Battle

This battle is not here because it resulted in any physical violence, but this battle showed, that you can sell alot more records, by adressing somebody in it!

Top Five White Boys: Top Spot

'Drum-roll playing'

And the winner is

FAT JOE

For Real
NO!

The Winner is
Ikon the Verbal Hologram,
Louie Doggs the Genocide General,
The Pazmanian Devil,
Frank Vinatra,
Vin Laden

Yup, it's Vinnie Paz of Jedi Mind Tricks and AOTP
Why you might say?
Well, my dear friend(s), a man's task in this world is not to kill the people, but to tell the people the truth, it is not to lie to look independent, but to swallow your pride in order to keep it with yourself.
And to do this is not easy, think about it;
Do you really think 50 Cent kill officers?
Do you really think Hurricane Chris will stand in the clubs with no shoes on 'cause it is hot?
No? Then you get me... Most "musicians" sell them self (yeah THEMSELF!) out in order to get cash easier!
But Vinnie Paz keeps it real with him self, but not only there, he keeps the truth alive in this life of denials!
But once again, don't trust me, judge for yourself!

AOTP - Into The Arms Of Angels (V. On the last verse)






With these spoken words, may the force be with y'all

Peace, and thanks for taking your time to read these posts!

Top Five White Boys: 2nd. Place

SLUG!!!
Yup, the one half of Felt (which he forms together with Mr. Murs, who's a great rapper as well) and the one half of the unbelievable Atmosphere (which is formed with the Producer Ant).

Slug is one hell of an artist. He spits consious, but not only that, he spits it with soul, spirit and talent.
But don't trust me, see for your self:

Felt - Woman Tonight:

Atmosphere - Trying To Find A Balance:

You know you need to digg into his other songs, before you check the #1 spot!

Top Five White Boys: 3rd. Place

My third most valuable white dude in this game must be RA Rugged Man, no doubt.
If you wanna talk about dirty rap, it don't get much dirtier than this. But still, there's sense init!

First, this song is soooo nice!
"They say a white boy need a black boy to win/
Uhh, Bubba Sparxxx did it, and so did Slim/
Just Blaze is hot now, why don't you get with him?/"



But, this verse is a cultural classic.
Second verse on the song


"[Verse 2 - R.A. The Rugged Man]True story...Call me Thorburn, John H. Staff Sergeant, Marksman
Skilling, killing, illing
I'm able and willing
Kill a village elephant, rapin' and pillage your village
Illegitimate killers, US Military guerillas
This ain't no real war, Vietnam shit
World War II, that's a war, this is just a military conflict
Soothing, drug-abusing, Vietnamese women screwing
Sex, gambling and boozin', all the shit is amusing
Bitches and guns, this is every man's dream
I don't want to go home, where I'm just a ordinary human being
Special OP, Huey chopper gun shit, run shit
Gook run when the mini-gun spit, won't miss, kill shit
Spit four-thousand bullets a minute
Victor Charlie, hit trigger, hit itI'm in it to win it, get it
The lieutenant hinted the villain, I've ended up killing
I did it, cripple, did it, pictures I painted is vivid, live it
A wizard with weapons, a secret mission we about to begin it
Government funded, behind enemy lines bullets is spraying
It's heating up, a hundred degrees
The enemies the North-Vietnamese, bitch please
Ain't no sweat, I'm told "be at ease"
Until I see the pilot got hit, and we about to hit some tree
still the rotor broke, crash land, American man
Cambodia, right in the enemy hand
Take a swig of the whiskey to calm us
Them yellow men wearing black pajamas
They want to harm us
They all up on us
Bang, bang, bullet hit my chest, feel no pain
To my left, the captain caught a bullet right in his brain
Body parts flying, loss of limbs, explosions
Bad intentions, I see my best friend's intestins
Pray to the one above, It's raining and I'm covered in mud
I think I'm dying, I feel dizzy, I'm losing blood
I see my childhood, I'm back in the arms of my mother
I see my whole life, I see Christ, I see bright lights
I see Israelites, Muslims and Christians at peace, no fights
Blacks, Whites, Asians, people of all types
I must have died, then I woke up, suprised I'm alive
I'm in a hospital bed, they rescued me, I survived
I escaped the war, came back
But ain't escape Agent Orange, two of my kids born handicapped
Spastic, quadriplegia, micro cephalic
Cerebral palsy, cortical blindness, name it they had it
My son died he ain't live, but I still try to think positive
Cause in life, God take, God give

Top Five White Boys: 4th. Place

On a serious note, Eminem, hands down, he's a cultural persona.
But, there are better white rappers then him out there though.
Still, he his flow is off the hook, his rhymes are pretty much untouchable, lyrics are personal, that's all I'm asking for!


To Be Continued...

Top Five White Boys: 5th. Place

I've decided to post my top 5 over white boys in rap alive!
The first place must go to this dude, no doubt!
Our one and only
WEATHERMAN!
