Favorite track off Ghostface Killah's - "Ironman" (Poll & Discussion)

[DJ Mart-Kos]

Damn... many to choose from... 260, Wildflower, Fish, All That I Got Is You, Winter Warz, Motherless Child.
My choice is All That I Got Is You due to the range of emotions and memories evoked on that track that we all could relate to. Absolute masterpiece.

"Word up mommy, I love you
Word up
It was all you, word, you brought me in like this"

And then Mary's singing

Then Poppa Wu dropping some knowledge

It's a beautiful song. You don't even have to like Hip-Hop to love that song.

 

[RichForever]

Poisonous Darts

 

[newworldafro]

Fish

 

[Billy Ocean]

260. Probably my favorite Rae and Ghost track. Probably. There's so much...

 

[raw613]

260, one of my favorite songs ever

 

[mbewane]

Gonna have to go with Assassination Day, but yeah waaay too many bangers on the album...

 

[Morose Polymath]

Assassination Day, even though Ghost isn't even on there...

Soul Controller

These are my 2 favorite joints, it's so damn hard to pick one as the best but I think Soul Controller may take it.


EDIT: This nikka didn't even put Soul Controller in the damn poll!!

[No Homo]

260 or Black Jesus

But side note..i remember thinking cappas winter warz verse was like the dopest verse ever when i first heard it

 

[Mr. Negative]

I guarantee you I'm the only one who's gonna vote for Poisonous Darts

Yo yo, mountains of blow like snow constant cash flow
Rocking a Shaft afro, Tony got mad glow with hoes
Mega powder dripping from they nose
fukking Jet magazine bytcheswith wide p*ssy pose

Centrefold the whole night, deadly venom horror snake bites
Only Built 4 Cuban Link kings who shoot dice

Holding money bags, convertible Benz with feathered bags
With the mongoose your man's got two seeds down in Baghdad


He was literally spitting darts throughout the entire song. Great short loop instrumental as well.

Honourable mentions to Motherless Child and Box in Hand and Iron Maiden

gotta say it right, breh.


"Tony got MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD glow and hoes! "

 

[Inspect Her Deck]

gotta say it right, breh.


"Tony got MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD glow and hoes! "

lol true

I just copied and pasted the lyrics tho

and then, "next year 200 ninjas comin' with SWORDZ"

 

[Mr. Negative]

260 or Black Jesus

I tell folks that Cap only became "wack" because of a smear campaign....

that really only started when Lord Michael got branded as a snitch at the same time he was managing Cap. Before that, I can't think of one actual Wu fan that wasn't listening to songs and hoping Cap would come on.

The Clan sacrificed Cap so they wouldn't have to distance Ghost too.

Been hearing Winter Warz like forever before I got to hear the full album....but Assasination Day is just, Another poll where no answer is wrong.

I remember being high as shyt the first time I listened to this whole album. Was damn near passed out with the earphones on.

Assassination Day started, scared the shyt out of me.

"hhh. huhhhh.... HELP... PLEASE!!!!! "

I jumped straight off the couch like

 

[Mr. Negative]

anyway, I can't call it.

Ghost truly invented a new rhyme style that was totally his own on here.

This was RZA at his crate digging creative best. Hell, just look what he did to that Nautilus sample. Dude was sampling anime (help... please!).... turned around and dropped Poisonous Darts. Turned around and dropped Camay.

Got songs with Ghost not even on there!

In my opinion, IronMan is actually the "purest" Wu-Tang album. The most distilled vision of what true fans feel Wu actually sounds like.

Cause honestly, the casual fan thinks Wu is Old Dirty and nikkas playing like they're in karate movies in the background.
