    Lyrics:
    Dedicated to the winners and the losers
    (Dedicated to all Jeeps and Land Cruisers)
    Can it be that it was all so simple then?
    Dedicated to the 5's, 850i's
    (Dedicated to niggas who do drive-by's)
    Can it be that it was all so simple then?
    Dedicated to the Lexus and the Ac's
    (Dedicated to MPV's: phat!)

    I remember it was a summer of 94 night and a tropical storm was passing through here in VA and I was up late watching tv with my pops. I was flipping through channels and pops fell asleep. I turned it to MTV and Yo MTV Raps was on! Oh snap! It was probably a rerun episode of what they showed earlier in the day. As I watched the episode this video came on and I just remember just how good of a time these days were. While the video was playing I looked back and pops was sleep. Well pops is gone now, but every time I see this video it reminds me of that night. Pops RIP!

    We gotta give full credit to The Rza for being the brains and vision behind the creation of Wu-Tang. He created a group that perfectly blended hardcore boom-bap, eastcoast rap with street consciousness on a level not seen before and that hasn't been duplicated since. The Wu spoke to children in the ghetto, mostly Black male adolescent teens and young adults growing up in poverty and facing tremendous adversity in a post Reagan, Bush Sr. - Clinton era of American politics, a time when high homicide rates, poverty, hopelessness, and resource deprivation characterized life for people in underprivileged, economically challenged communities.

    • @wackrapsatire
      @wackrapsatire Před rokem +1

      Need to put into account that the early curtis blow days were the OG´s of hip hop. People nowadys forget that what we consider the golden age today (mid - late 90s) wouldn´t have been possible without major records labels - apart from the underground flicks. Boombap Rap was "the thing" back then to what auto tune and mumble rap is today, so everybody did it or tried to. It was the mainstream rap so ghostface refering to the glorious days meant the true street-born, young black youth fighting against the opressing of white establishment of the military industrial complex of america selling out the country and more so it´s people (espacially african american) - stomp them down. These people voiced their opinion beginng late 70s through out the 80s which then led to the 90s - the golden age. After that it lost it´s meaning, true essence and became a genre just like rock, house and what not and has been sold out. Nevertheless you have to dig today as you had to back then to fight the true gems. They´re outthere and are worth to be noticed by us.

      ​@@user-xb9wo5me9ksince he didnt respond imma try to phrase this as best as i can because that line always gets me too.. in the previous lines Ghost was talking about what he wants for himself. Dreams & ambitions. However, as hard as he's trying to get there, he's still in the same place he's been and hasn't made the progress he hoped for. It could also be a double-entendre meaning that this same place he's stuck in helps him "find himself" so that he can grow and succeed. This is probably my favorite Ghostface verse of all time and it always makes me feel some type of way.

    This is an absolute class joint. As I’ve said previously the best track on the album. 30 years old next year. 30. Sounds bang up to date. RZA is a genius. The lot of them are. Rae and Ghost as a pair. Inspector Deck and Masta Killa are class acts, then you’ve Method Man, GZA, ODB RIP. What a collective. Each member has their own input and style.
    Produced by RZA as we all know who didn’t have the best equipment but it worked for the better. The album was raw. In no way over produced. Raw. As. Fuck. Even the vocals sounded better , more aggressive almost. Absolutely spot on production. All the martial arts samples ha. He loves his kung - foo films.
    Influenced so many artists. Wu Tang Forever. Peace.

      @@orlandovazquez9662 I have a 15yr old. He thinks a lot of the hip hop i listen to is "from a million years ago". He likes some of it, like Nas and Eminem.

    Censoring hip-hop is the stupidest shit. They even censored "weed" and "big joint." Fucking ridiculous.

    Getting high and listening to this with Subwoofers, made my entire life, never will I experience so many emotions that ran through my entire head and body, feeling the bass shake through my bones and catching myself nodding my heat to the beat. I was so at peace.
