Cash Rules Everything Around Me

I'm going to take a departure from video games for a second to write about something that is very important to me.

music.

more specifically.

The Wu-Tang Clan.

I love Wu. That is all there is to it. I'm not the biggest fan of rap but i do like a lot of standout, and a lot of shitty tracks. That is just how I am with music, especially with rap. but i digress.

The Wu-Tang Clan. I admit I do not have unlimited knowledge about the group but I like to think that i do have a pretty good grasp on what they have done in their career. Enter the Wu-Tang(36 Chambers) is by far the best hip-hop album ever released, give me one that is equal, go ahead i'll wait. I also consider it to be one of the best albums of any genre to be released.

"The Rza. The Gza, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Inspectah Deck, Raekwon the Chef, U-God, Ghostface Killah, and the Method."

there they are. plus masta killa.

I have a tendency to mix up RZA and GZA. and that is solely because i feel like RZA is such a genius. Which for those uneducated in the Wu-Tang is GZA's nickname. GZA the Genius and RZA the Rzarector aka Bobby Digital. Another thing to dispute is that RZA is the best hip-hop producer out right now. Granted Dr. Dre is the shit, and even Timberland is great, but RZA is that next level. He has done movie soundtracks, as in the scores not just tracks he has cut, but legit scores. I also watched a video of him online using a drum machine and he created a fucking awesome beat out of nowhere. best part. it sounded better than most tracks that are playing on the radio right now, and there weren't even any lyrics on top of it.

Now I'm not just a fan of "The Wu-Tang Clan" i've also checked out quite a few of the Clan's solo albums.

I still can't put a finger on who my favorite group member is. Of course i have love for RZA, but really he created Wu. He made Wu what it is today by allowing them to have the beats that make the masses bob their heads. And I also love Method Man because his lyrics are some of the best and his flow is so fuckin' smooth. ODB is fucking hilarious rip. Although I think that tonight i have figured out that my fave group member is Ghostface Killah. The way he flows is so unique it slays me. He also stays under the radar during songs, he puts down great lyrics on tracks band when you listen to them you can't help but freak, but sometimes when thinking back on them, you can't figure out which verse was his or any of his lines for that matter. at least that is how it is for me. well except for "Why is the sky blue? Why is water wet?Why did Judas, rat to Romans while Jesus slept?" a line from "4th Chamber" from GZA's album Liquid Swords. so.fucking.deep.

Best Ghost line ever.

Well i suppose i shall list my top 5 Wu songs. which will also include solo songs.
