Damn this thread just reminds me of how great the Wu was. I don’t think any rapper or group can touch 36 chambers, ob4cl, liquid swords, and Ironman.

:mjlol: the original box in hand better than the second version? Nah

I disagree about the beat too, its perfect as is, for one thing the bars wouldnt sound as right if rapped on the intro part throughout. The switchup is a better back drop. RZA knew what he was doing, one of many examples of how he is a producer and beatmaker.

Absolutely. OG Box in Hand is a basic 3 note loop, but the Ironman version is one of RZA's most layered joints. Flawless song
The Ironman instrumental album does have that intro beat as a full track

shyt like that is why rza was the goat. same beat, just diff sample for intro.

i thought you were talking about the original box in hand tho. i wonder what the real name to this song is...

I always wanted Wu to go and rework some of those intro & interlude beats into full tracks. It worked w/ Guillotine (Swordz).

I thought the best use of that would be, if they ever did a Liquid Swords 2, to have the main beat now as the intro with RZA still talking "sometimes you t to flash 'em back..." and then it flips to the original intro beat extended as the main song.



check how it speeds up in the middle ever so slightly . the rzzzzzzzzaaaaa
