It's 2024, why the fukk does Raekwon's Rainy DayZ sound even better in 2024?

[Artificial Intelligence]

Watching the show right now and the Cuban linx episode was the best one so far.. ghost and Rae need their own spin off show


Is he dead

What the fukk do you mean is he dead?

Could've had a whole season about the making, release and influence of Cuban Linx and I would've watched every min of it.

Ghost & Rae characters had the best actors on the show too. Those brehs had the mannerisms down.

Always had this otherworldly vibe to me. shyt is immaculate

 

[Crumple]

I feel like there weren't really loosies back in that time frame, pre-internet program/message board days. I don't remember Wu being heavy on the mixtape scene either. The only 1-offs would be if they dropped a single with a b-side maybe?

Word. I agree. So e members did post some here luckily tho.

I'd love to hear radio freestyles.

Anyone remember a Method Man one where he said "I'm lounging in a sauna and I'm smoking marijuana"?

I recorded it from Toronto College radio but I'm sure they played it from another source.

Because Wu-Tang is forever

There's a demo version of Heaven & Hell but it's nearly identical, and the album version is better.

Wu Gambinos Hidden Chambers Remix (not rare)

Rainy Dayz Remix (also not rare)

There's the Iron Maiden version that has a different verse from Ghost:




Who's the Champion from the Great White Hype soundtrack (not exactly rare, but a leftover):




OG version of 260, but the only difference is the beat plays out, without transitioning into the mini skit that leads into Assassination Day:




OG version of 7th Chamber, different beat, different Ghost verse and he goes fukking offfff




Can it Be All So Simple Remix (Fresh Version)




OG version of North Star (Rae spitting over Wisdom Body):




Not Rae/Ghost but Deck, Carlton Fisk & streetlife (originally labeled a freestyle maybe?). Deck spots his verse that was supposed to be on Got My Mind Made Up but was left off



Would love to know if there's any other rarities, but I feel like I would've heard of them by now.

Peep the sample in wisdom body in the beginning. That small piece thats hidden behind the other sample that you wouldnt know unless we heard this.

shyt like that is why the rza > EVERYONE else. He was combining shyt at advanced levels even for today 20+ years ago.

 

[Mystic]

Because that entire album has stayed impeccable while the new music has perpetually become more and more . So in comparison, its' better now then when it dropped and there was other quality music out

HipHop is still in a GREAT place

 

[Pop123]

LOVE OB4CL, But I can't stand this song I skip pass this song in a heartbeat.

 

[Ziggiy]

Because RZA is a genius of geniuses and Rae and Ghost are lyricist’s OF Lyricists thats why.


nikkas told ya’ll Wu-Tang is forever and ya’ll shoulda LISTENED

Damn now that I pay attention to it, that little sample in the beginning sounds raw af. Could've easily turned into a whole beat. Sounds kinda like a Tical era beat

RZA in 1995 was the peak year of any and ALL producers.

 

[Crumple]

Wu Tang were the second wave of Independent rappers who got signed to majors.

They struggled but persevered instead of quitting.

Like Krs and Ultra before and Cormega and E.i em after - independent to major - once an artist goes through that it makes them unshakeable.

Juicy J is another example.

RZA>>>>>>>> Dr Dre.



Debate your mother about it. My mind will NEVER change

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

I ran this album yesterday. It ain’t many albums that you can listen to with maturer ears and think “damn, they didn’t waste any rhymes on this bytch.” I can’t think of a wack 16 or bar on here

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

The Remix >>>>>>>>>



EASILY better

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

RZA>>>>>>>> Dr Dre.



Debate your mother about it. My mind will NEVER change

100% agree. RZA did more in 95 alone than Dre did from 92-99
