Method Man, GZA, Ghostface Killah and others spittin over classic oldschool beat!! Original samples: jeru the damaja - come clean & marley marl - the symphony
I found this track on Napster back in the summer of 2000 and burned it on a cd, played it in the car all the time. I used to shamelessly bust out GZA's verse af parties and freestyle battles and people would just die, "That's the best rap I have ever heard!!!!" === I know, that's why they call him Genius...
I'm 39 about to be 40 in September this year 2016. I was 17 when wutang came out. I am so glad my teenage life was back then not now. Everything about the early 90s was dope. From PAC, biggie, Nas, Foxy brown, lil Kim and the WU. Their style was off the hook. The fashion, lyrics. I have been so inspired by every rappers from the 90s. It was fun to wear baggy jeans, sneakers. It was fun to see girls dressed like boys not being lesbian. The best style ever will never come back. I'm proud to be 40
Lucky dude, it amazes me that even people, born back then or later, are actually in America and don't know about good stuff like this yet listen to now hiphop.
Methodman's flow in this wuth samples of hus somngs comunv up is crazy. Gza is just legendary. One of the best intro songs if all time. Especially since Wu-Tang is forever.
Method Mans 2nd verse was just so hard its probably proof that he's committed 1st degree murder before. He shoots up the whole studio here like nothing
rest in Peace ODB!!Rza,Gza,Method Man made the group my personal fav's what yours?Wu-Tang foe life rap today ain't the same grew up fan of the clan!!ain't hear from them in a gud min but tear up these og beats,age means nothing to these nyc poets!!
So true. There is no art it what is put out these days. None of it is even fun to listen to. I remember hearing this on a bootleg cd in like ‘99 and was physically hyped up. Same with when I first heard Biggie. It was the type of music that made people stop and listen and then erupt in excitement when the verse hit a climactic lyric! We were lucky to grow up when we did. Music today is a diluted watered down shadow of what came before. Not to say there aren’t talented artists out there but the scene in general has been in a steady decline for years.
Back in the 90s people used to recycle verses like hell since only people who lived in the area would hear radio freestyles lol. Method Man's verse is from Bring The Pain
Bring the Pain was released in 1994. This was recorded in 1993. Besides that, using pre-written verses to different beats IS freestyle. It does not have to be specifically off the dome.
Meth was in a ridiculous zone. I still crack up at that cat saying "Freakin'-A". LOL Damn skippy, yo Rza Raw hit me. With that funky shh, that always seem to get me, open!
GZA got the loudest crowd response and his verse was dope as hell, but Method Man had the illest verse in this session, just incredible style, flow, and lyricism combined.
Tony Starks the homie masta killah got some deadly rhymes as well. GZA can come thru outta east shaolin with some crazy ish sometimes too. But I agree, only built for Cuban Linx is a hip hop Bible
agreed, it also works the other way around, using lines from existing songs or rhymebooks, but reguardless it is still classic hip hop and so much more than fire...to quote meth its some walkin thru hell with gasoline boots type fire 1 love family
There are bigger stars...better lyricists etc...but just pure spitting real essence true hip-hop...no one is better than Ghost...he's the most underrated rapper ever...this is real shit!
To the base kid. This is ghost his place now watch me ace. While i stick to truth like paste. I'll get loose, reproduce you look high give me a boost. Yo i came to crash and wu rock the house with no doubt pull out the cal I'm lounging the god will attack ya spouse. Wreck shop... Yeah Meth kills it but I love the way ghost flows. One of the sickest freestyles I have ever heard. Wu as a crew are lyrically undefeatable. Solo I would say Rakim tops them
i downloaded this back in the way day and its still its good. meth kills it but they alll got it. it. i wish i grew up with this.80 90, kids look it up.
Jesus fucking Christ I listened to this live back in the day!!! I have this on cassette somewhere in a big ass box. I used to listen to the drum every sunday like it was religion. Kevy Kev, a bay area hip hop icon.
yooo methods part starting at 2:26 ... if that is a legit freestyle then all i can say is WOW. He was firing off rhymes all of em making sense and shit. Way too sickkkk
My students tried to show me the XXL freshman freestyles. I showed them this. I won.
Samuel Kelley nice
Wu tang clan never be replaced fuck this new hip hop bullshit
Two different styles, can’t compare one to the other
Haha luv tht
Some xxl freestyles hard tho dont sleep too hard

Yeh me too

ed1476 word life son
The early 90's. The latter part of the 90's was corny. But I feel you.
"How did you think u could make the first down? if u were boxin u couldn't escape the first round." the fuckin Genius
That's what holly holm said to ronda riusey
game was over after Gza went
this shit is over 20yrs old and still DOPE ! and better than the shit we're hearing now.
Dam this is some straight old skool shit! STILL BANGING IN 2023!!!!
GZA is on a whole other level than any memeber from Wu-Tang
NIKEOFOREGON23 The first Liquid Swords is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
All have their strengths. I'm a RZA and INS man myself . GZA is the Genius for a reason. SUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
🙌
@@robertcamlbell6755 Ghost is a monster too
Wreck shop
I mean how this isn't even at 500K is beyond me. Should be at 2 billion minimum. Wu Tang forever
Forever
If you was a boxer you wouldn't escape the first round.... That line stuck with me for years lol . Classic here.
Still bump that pure diamond in summer 2023 greetings 'n' respect and so much love of course from Crete

Big ups to GZA..... this skit is always in my favorites. luv it. "I used to love hip hop"
2024 still rocking
Methodman's flow in this wuth samples of hus somngs comunv up is crazy. Gza is just legendary. One of the best intro songs if all time. Especially since Wu-Tang is forever.
“My stacks alone rock the bell” GZA the genius give me goosebumps🔥
pffffff come on! The realest! Meth flow is hell crazy. Johny Blaze. The Ghost Rider. Respects my man!
GZA did the most genius verse ever
Method Mans 2nd verse was just so hard its probably proof that he's committed 1st degree murder before. He shoots up the whole studio here like nothing
czcams.com/video/P6LQttptHPU/video.html
This is my all time favorite freestyle of all time! Dominica, Caribbean still listening
Ghost dart game is in a total different classification

Every time I listen to this I feel sad. That rap music has fallen so far from what it use to be.
Sad ain't it;....we let the GOV. kill hip hop. But like anything POSITIVE & POWERFUL is a threat to you know who. Peace !! Legacy 1x....out

The real hip hop has always lived underground it’s still very well alive it’s just not the pop bubbly bs u hear on the radio.
I'm just glad we have the Wu forever
Born west coast. Forever east coast.
They all spit fire but GZA my God 😱 Love Meth LOVE GZA.
czcams.com/video/P6LQttptHPU/video.html
Damn. Gaza just killed it all 🤣🤣. Everyone was quiet as hell when he rapped.
5:47 GZA ripped up the mic and set it on fire.
If you want to go further back that piano sample was originally from Otis Redding's Hard to Handle
I had this one on casette in the late 90s and havent heard it since. Thanks you!!
gza is simply amazing
Muderous
meth kills it off! lyrical genius blessed with tha husky voice
Meths verse from 2mins 20 is still my all time favourite verse ever on anything fucking incredible 👐👐👐
Back in the 90s people used to recycle verses like hell since only people who lived in the area would hear radio freestyles lol. Method Man's verse is from Bring The Pain
Ummm...🤔... Not 90% + of it?
Bring the Pain was released in 1994. This was recorded in 1993. Besides that, using pre-written verses to different beats IS freestyle. It does not have to be specifically off the dome.
@@bilwit it got released in ‘94 but was recorded in ‘93
many many hip hop songs are freestyles converted into tracks ✌ recording dates, homie. It's like studying history with hip hop :)
Gza went from commemorating da pioneers in hip hop to defensive fuckin football in 1 verse....🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Method Man is SICK!
Method Man is my favourite WU member with ODB of course!!!
Meth was in a ridiculous zone. I still crack up at that cat saying "Freakin'-A". LOL Damn skippy, yo Rza Raw hit me. With that funky shh, that always seem to get me, open!
this is ridiculously good... Method man killed it haha
Back when I had this on my old school Ipod I used to listen to this shit over and over and over. Never gets old either
Methods 2nd verse is a classic for all time. O3 still one of the best ever.
Takes me back to the best era in Hip-Hop
One of the best ciphers
So sad the dj interrupted
They could have gone for days
czcams.com/video/P6LQttptHPU/video.html
fucking awesome I've listened to this about a million times never gets old
Best freestyle of all time, equal to Big/Pac in Brooklyn... Meth one of top 3... NO DOUBT!! (Been looking for this for over 5- years)...
i loooooooove method mans energy in this shit you can tell he was Jonesin to just jump into eri love it
The worse the sound quality is, the better it sounds. REAL HIP HOP
czcams.com/video/YqIF5ojqzik/video.html
i can totally agree.
Can't believe they're back together....almost 20 years later
One of the greatest Westwoods ever! U-God kills it!
This was always my favorite freestyle meth goes off
Oh yeah, Meth got loose
Brilliant ,love it .
Gza blew them all away and method man is on this...
Method Mans verse in this is some 🔥🔥🔥
When all of them now rocks freestyle like then... If it ever happens they better come out like the wu!
Love how they all add there own flavor. Can't say theres a best out of them but I definatly love the Meth and original drunken master.
GZA killed it the hardest!!!
from 5:49 - 6:34 was a massacre
Phenomenal verse!!!
Wu Tang Forever!!!
Shut your old ass up
GZA got the loudest crowd response and his verse was dope as hell, but Method Man had the illest verse in this session, just incredible style, flow, and lyricism combined.
@@hellbabyy damn cuh

@@2looseX hell yeah I fw that whole scene and I was just kidding w that comment
Rae & Ghost are the illest out of the hole clan and most consistent Rae is to dam fuckin smooth and ghost is just witty
Tony Starks not method man bro he's one of illest
Tony Starks the homie masta killah got some deadly rhymes as well. GZA can come thru outta east shaolin with some crazy ish sometimes too. But I agree, only built for Cuban Linx is a hip hop Bible
old dirty and gza are the illest
gza and method
GZA and meth are the best
Thank god for limewire for introducing me to this back in the day
Yooo they went offff on the symphony 🔥
Oh, man ! This is good ! very good ! Great !! Gza and Method Man, ouu Man !
I wish I could lived through this era …. So instead I’m diggin in the gutters , now they’re not even crates anymore
been trying to find this for a minute... that "hard to handle" sample... so dope.
Listening late 2019. Heard this before, awesome. Meth wrecks it but Gza is my man.
New decade and still listening
Slovakia represent in da hometown street.bro lav ❤
agreed, it also works the other way around, using lines from existing songs or rhymebooks, but reguardless it is still classic hip hop and so much more than fire...to quote meth its some walkin thru hell with gasoline boots type fire 1 love family
Thank you, EPIC upload i hear this freestyle last time in high school. Respect m8
i love the westwood session.
Ghost's second verse is on point as any verse I've ever heard.
This The Best Freestyle I Eva Heard!
R.i.P Ol Dirty
They sound like they are having so much fun.
There are bigger stars...better lyricists etc...but just pure spitting real essence true hip-hop...no one is better than Ghost...he's the most underrated rapper ever...this is real shit!
If ghostface is underated then what is U-God and Inspectah Deck?
This should go for 248 minutes..no one would mind when the Wu comes through.
I haven't heard this one in a minute! The Symphony is one of my favorite old-school beats and Meth wrecked it.
Peace fellow head
No hip hop fan in general especialy with mumble rap.
But this raps from the hart gets me.
raw style as expected
this is a classic.
Powerful combination mastermind Alliance
Yep that is when they were all young, tight and hungry in the game!
wu tang is the beat rap crew of all times

Yo i came to crash and wu rock the house with no doubt pull out the cal I'm lounging the god will attack ya spouse. Wreck shop... Yeah Meth kills it but I love the way ghost flows. One of the sickest freestyles I have ever heard.
Wu as a crew are lyrically undefeatable.
Solo I would say Rakim tops them
goddamn it thank you, i've been looking for this for a while
i downloaded this back in the way day and its still its good. meth kills it but they alll got it. it. i wish i grew up with this.80 90, kids look it up.
I like how they have to practically tear Meth off the mic at the end.
14 years ago but shit was magical meth was feeling it
this is the best song i've ever heard in my life thumbs ^
Damnnn Method was feelinnn ittt!!!
GZA one of the best ever.
Jesus fucking Christ I listened to this live back in the day!!! I have this on cassette somewhere in a big ass box. I used to listen to the drum every sunday like it was religion. Kevy Kev, a bay area hip hop icon.
Yes Yes this is the real hip hop....
7 minutse of complete awesomeness
Everyone is rockin well...but the Gza = genius.
o WOW this is one i lost in my last hd crash NEEEEET, thx
