In the case of Wu, the names make the music better, imo. To listen to their lyrics and stories and tie them to names like James Williams or Tyrone Brown (i realize those aren't their real names) just sounds stupid. To hear these stories with names based upon the characters puts the music on a whole other level. They're the Wu Tang CLAN, like a group of superheros or some shit, the names work.

i agree

...........

Mohab

Raekwon, Masta Killa, Ghost,


Esp. Iron MAN lp, Cuban Lynx and No Said Date

ODB, right?
or am I mistaken...

Ghostface Killah. ODB if he was still amongst the living.

I still like their music very much but I was saw them at Rock Werchter last year and, well, they sucked. Perhaps I my expectations were too high.

I love the Wu. Wu -Tang is for the babies. I know that some people do not think of Hip/hop rap as "good" music but the first time i heard 36 Chambers, I was blown away. Seperately, all of the memebers are some of the best rappers out there but together you get some crazy shit. As for who is the best, thats like trying to pick your favorite child but if I had to I would have to say Inspecta, then Meth and U GOD. I would like to say before his untimely passing I was able to meet ODB in an airport. As far as I could tell he loved the fact that I knew who he was and he was just a cool guy. RIP As for the nicknames I think they are creative. He is the ol dirt bastard cause their is no father to his style for example.

No doubt, it's the GZA. Just listen to 'Clan in the Front' and you'll know.

nice to see some Wu lovers out there! And as for the ones knocking it.... :rolleyes: open yer minds. theres good bands like the roots, Jurassic 5, Mos def and Talib Kweli and theres the shit..Ying Yang twins, Lil Jon, etc, etc.

for me its gotta be Masta Killa, Gza, Ins, Ghost and Cappadona,(hes on n off as a member) and for undergruond Wu, check for Remedy a Jewish white boy who takes rap to another level as far as intellect goes talkin about the Hoocaust and shit like that


Choose the sword, and you will join me
Choose the ball, and you join your mother... in death
You don't understand my words, but you must choose
{*baby gurgling*}
So... come boy, choose life or death

[Verse One: Ghostface Killah]
The only man a hoe wait for
is the sky-blue Bally kid, in eighty-three, rocked Taylor's
My Memorex performed tape decks, my own phone sex
Watch out for Haiti bitches, I heard they throw hex
Yo, Wu whole platoon is filled with rac-coons
Corner sittin wine niggaz sippin Apple Boone,
this ain't no white cartoon
Cuz I be duckin crazy spades
The kid hold white shit, like blacks rock ashy legs
Why is the sky blue? Why is water wet?
Why did Judas, rat to Romans while Jesus slept? Stand up
You're out of luck like two dogs stuck
Iron Man be sippin rum, out of Stanley Cups, unflammable
Noriega, aimin knives which stay windy in Chicago
spine-tingle, mind boggles
Kangols in rainbow colors, promoters try to hold dough
Give me mine before Po, wrap you up in so-and-so
I ran the Dark Ages, Constantine and great Henry the Eighth
Built with Ghengis Khan, the wreck suede Wally Don

[Verse Two: Killah Priest]
I judge wisely, as if nothin ever surprise me
Loungin, between two pillars of ivory
I'm lively, my dome piece, is like buildin stones in Greece
my poems are deep from ancient thrones I speak
I'm overwhelmed, as my mind, roams the realm
My eye's the vision, memory is the film
Others act sub-tile, but they fragile above clouds
They act wild and couldn't budge a crowd
No matter how loud they get, though they growl and spit
Clutch they fists, and throw up signs like a Crip
And throw all types of fits
I leave 'em split, like ass cheeks and ragged pussy lips

[Verse Three: The RZA]
Aiyyo, camoflouge chameleon, ninjas scalin your buildin
No time to grab the gun they already got your wife and children
A hit was sent, from the President, to rage your residence
Because you had secret evidence, and documents
on how they raped the continents, and it's the prominent
dominant Islamic, Asiatic black hebrew
The year two thousand and two, the battle's filled with the Wu
Six million devils just died from the Bubonic Flu
Or the Ebola Virus, under the reign of King Cyrus
You can see the weakness of a man right through his iris
Un-loyal snakes get thrown in boilin lakes
of hot oil, it boils your skin, chickenheads gettin slim
like Olive Oyl, only plant the seed deep inside fertile soil
Fortified with essential, vitamin and minerals
Use the sky for a blanket, stuffin clouds inside my pillow
Rollin with the lambs
Twelve tribes a hundred and forty four thousand chosen
Protons Electrons Always Cause Explosions

[Verse Four: The Genius/GZA]
The banks of G, all CREAM downs a bet
Money feed good, opposites off the set
It ain't hard to see, my seeds need God-degree
I got mouths to feed, unnecessary beef is more cows to breed
I'm on some tax free shit by any means
Whether bound to hit scheme or some counterfeit CREAM
I learned much from such with cons who run scams
Veterans got the game spiced like ham
And from that, sons are born and guns are drawn
Clips are fully loaded, and then blood floods the lawn
Disciplinary action was a fraction of strength
that made me truncate the length one-tenth
With his thump, tweaters hits like air pumps
RZA shaped the track, niggaz caught razor bumps
Scarred tryin to figure who invented
this unprecented, opium-scented, dark-tinted
Now watch me blow him out his shoes without clues
Cuz I won't hesitate to detonate, I'm short fuse

Drifting Away

If they were infact a real clan they would have last names starting with "O"
like O'Gansta, O'Glock, O'Murphy, O'Furnitue
