Greatest Group crew song ever.

Classic Deck opening verse. I know dudes in their early 20's and don't listen to Wu that knows "I bomb atomically..."

Hip Hop has changed alot, man. Imagine a 6 second song of just rhyming, with no hooks, getting consistent radio play in 2017. Would never happen. Video also had a million dollar budget.

Ominous beat, typical crazy intro by ODB gets you :whoo:

Then the inspector :deadmanny: that opening verse, just :dead: it

I bomb atomically, Socrates' philosophies
And hypotheses can't define how I be droppin' these
Mockeries, lyrically perform armed robbery
Flee with the lottery, possibly they spotted me
Battle-scarred shogun, explosion when my pen hits
Tremendous, ultra-violet shine blind forensics

:blessed:

All the verses were lit, but deck shone on that track like the sun

Oh you thought you wasnt gon see me, Im tha Osiris of this shyt:ufdup:

They didnt need no fuccin hook on that beat.

Of course Deck's verse gets tha most shine but i always thought RZA came thru with a hype verse as well


My beats travel like a vortex, through your spine to the top of your cerebral cortex...

I remember where I was at/what I was doing specifically when I first heard this debut on Detroit radio :banderas:. WU is still a big deal out here.
