Throwback Thursdays: Wu-Tang Clan

Yep, yesterday I was railing about crooked Republicans and today I’m featuring the Wu-Tang Clan. Deal with it.

“From the slums of Shaolin, Wu-Tang Clan strikes again, The RZA, the GZA, Ol Dirty Bastard, Inspectah Deck, Raekwon the Chef, U-God, Ghost Face Killer and the Method Man”

1. “Protect Ya Neck” – Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) (1993)

“I smoke on the mic like smoking Joe Frazier
The hell raiser, raising hell with the flavor
Terrorize the jam like troops in Pakistan
Swinging through your town like your neighborhood Spiderman
So uhh, tic toc and keep ticking
While I get you flipping off the shit I’m kicking
The Lone Ranger, code red, danger!”

2. “M.E.T.H.O.D. Man” – Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) (1993)

“Hey, you, get off my cloud
You don’t know me and you don’t know my style
Who be gettin flam when they come to a jam?
Here I am here I am, the Method Man”

3.”C.R.E.A.M.” – Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) (1993)

“I grew up on the crime side, the New York Times side
Staying alive was no jive
Had second hands, moms bounced on old man
So then we moved to Shaolin land”

4. “Can It Be All So Simple” – Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) (1993)

“Started off on the island, AK Shaolin
N*ggaz whylin, gun shots thrown the phone dialin
Back in the days of eight now, makin a tape now
Rae gotta get a plate now
Ignorant and mad young, wanted to be the one
Till I got (BAM! BAM!) thrown one”

5. “Ice Cream” – Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… (1995)

“Watch these rap n*ggaz get all up in your guts
French-vanilla, butter-pecan, chocolate-deluxe
Even caramel sundaes is gettin touched
And scooped in my ice cream truck, Wu tears it up”

6. “Protect Ya Neck (The Jump Off)” – The W (2000)

[Bobby Digital]
“Yo, you may catch me in a pair of Polo Skipperys, matching cap
Razor blades in my gums (BOBBY!)
You may catch me in yellow Havana Joe’s goose jumper
And my phaser off stun (BOBBY!)
Y’all might just catch me in the park playin chess, studyin math
Signin 7 and a sun (BOBBY!)
But you won’t catch me without the ratchet, in the joint
Smoked out, dead broke or off point (BOBBY!)”
