Forever is like, their best album.

(conversation continued from the end of Duck Seazon)

["The Wu-Tang Clan will rise again
There are many of us, working for the good of the Wu] Tang"

"Die!" *sounds of fighting are heard*

Verse One: Street Life

So get your egg crashed, by my Hellz Wind Staff
While the feature broadcast is splashed to tell the news
like Kaity Chung, how the bullet collapsed his lung
His father watched the horror as he swallowed his tongue
Another youth dead, before the age of twenty-one
Left his son to grow, in the ghettoes of the slums
With a shot that go, for twisted metal for cash flow
React slow nigga and get, P.L.O.
By the lone gunner, who took revenge for his brother
who got slain last summer by a cocaine runner
A new year is dawning, new crews is forming
Rival gangs warring blood steadily pouring
The streets are deep Son every day is like a rerun
So I reach out and try to teach one
But eighty-five percent uncivilized content
No tolerance so a lifetime is spent
behind a cage bent smoked out on a park bench
Killer instinct slave rap niggaz get lynched

*sounds of fighting*

Verse Two: Ghostface Killah

So yo break that nigga arm fast as a fuck
Tell Ra, Goldie left my beige jacket in his truck
To all you slow footed penguins, duckin from these
hot rocks that's flamin, chocolate for all you rap Damian's
Spraying cards ex-pionage, dodgeball square hard
Strip bars, no bras, wet leotards
and a mink in, next album blood on Seth Abram
Keep a Gambino PlayStation in your playpen
Discovery Channel, cats that book at Daniel
Coke blunts hot as a FUCK swatted bamboo
high school dropouts, baseheads get knocked the fuck out
on the regular for robbin a good nigga house
Rough cut raw doses, the unexplainable
Hot rock lava, gringo throw the flows iglasa

*sounds of fighting*

Verse Three: Inspectah Deck

Ha ha ha ha, yo
What you know about this, specialist armed dangerous
Hit you close range with this madness
Unique design shine like a deep dish
The beat kick technique split all your weak shit
Yes, the rhythm, the Rebel
Alone in my level heat it up past the boiling point of metal
Living legend, veteran known to set trend
Lethal weapon, step through your section
with the Force like Luke Skywalker
Rhyme author, orchestrate mind torture
Live performer, bit the mic sayanora
Borderline to insane, I rain firewater
Tape recorder, can't be saved by a court order
I got my sword cross your throat you joke

Verse Four: Method Man

We on the run with the golden guns, get you none
when it reach out and teach someone, blaze they buns
Now I'm guilty by association
Times of blackness eclipsin the sun, target practice
commence when I throw these darts at these rappers
Ricochet, hit the charts, bloody your matress
Hold me down, Wu bloodkin, I'm goin in
Shootin bullets at the top ten, rhyme concoction
blend like a million
All these niggaz want cheese, is we mice or men, word up
We can go platinum but then, still can't get no satisfaction
Once again, back on the block crumb snatchin
Blowin backs in cold
Blunted non-assassin, time for action, Johnny Unidas
Handle that like arthritis
Still, hold a golden touch like King Midas

*swords clash*

Verse Five: RZA

Drown in problems the Heineken's imported from Holland
Gettin boosted off a killer bee pollen, stone columns
get trapped by drum tracks mac loud as gun claps
Pen'll grab the death of a thousand dumb tacks
The Wu Sensai fold, it beez the Wind Ninja scroll
Soul edged blade controls your inner pole
The thick loop, fruit from the forbidden tree root
I stay secluded in the Chamber trainin new recruits
with Fatal Guillotine, the black hooded team what it means
when bullets scream from the hot glock like rock from a sling
("Sometimes...") Pushed through like George Bush Operation Whoops
Shots get popped on the block cause them blood to gush
From digital to analog, the Wu-Wear camoflogue
The entourage squad we stompin through Zanzibar
like herds of cattle, RZA plays the wall like a shadow
Connect the Book of Shaolin like the brothers I know Now Rule

Verse Six: Raekwon the Chef

Stash the cream though, Iceatollah ice style gleama
Lex graffiti name reamer, hold em we rollin
askin me though, raps is hotter than, hot tamales in Toledo
Pussy that shit she passin off to me though
We wax Ajax niggaz with a axe, Maxamill
You could crash a meal, got you back steel
scold em and fold em like the thousand dollar bills
sit back eyein y'all niggaz out
Fakes that delegate we spittin fire out
Verb burgular, design the Wally shoe store reserve
a jet status, guidin these vert up on my matress
Watch me mack this, Ralph Lauren goose inside a fashion
Yo, these hands is flooded and they mad quick
Strong approach like magnets, custom wood crane name
Stylin rich, RZA made the waves in one chain
Feelin mics like, wheelin a bike, slide like
step on his Klondike, get your dart right
We movin on it like, wind breaker niggaz get they face broke
Jury get snatched, magazine right on the low, fuck y'all cats

("Sometimes...")
*sounds of fighting*

"May you rot in hell!"
"Ahahahahah, ahahahahaha, ahahahahaha!"

can't you guys just make like one Wu tang lyrics thread?

JAXON (jaxon), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 18:34 (twenty years ago)

Yes! The rhythm! The rebel!

Arguably Deck's finest hour. RZA's verse is also pretty hot, if not quite up there with his lines on 4th Chamber or Reunited.

I am actually one of the few who may agree with you on Forever, and Hellz Wind Staff was the track the grabbed me first and hardest.

rogermexico (rogermexico), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 18:39 (twenty years ago)

I need to buy another copy of "forever" sometime.

Ellis, Tuesday, 30 August 2005 20:10 (twenty years ago)

Live From Iraq has a track aimed at self-named street "soldiers"(bitches)...

don, Tuesday, 30 August 2005 20:51 (twenty years ago)

Forever is nothing like their best album. While it has a nice futuristic vibe and a lot of potential, it's littered with horrible verses, dud songs and general randomness. The RZA said this one was made democratically, while with the previous albums he was the dictator.

Plus that dying exchange of the locket is, like, the worst thing they ever did.

Are you done baiting me now.

jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 22:04 (twenty years ago)

horrible verses, dud songs and general randomness

How do you really feel about "Black Shampoo"?

The great thing about the CD/mp3 age is that I can create a my own killer single-album-length version of Forever.

rogermexico?

btw did anyone else catch the 5 percenter rally in ft greene park this weekend? I learned everything I know about mathematics from the wu.

jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 23:43 (twenty years ago)

Just to clarify, I was there playing frisbee. In case that wasn't obvious.

jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 23:44 (twenty years ago)

ack! wack wu lyric transcriptions! timewarp

deathbypog, Wednesday, 31 August 2005 04:24 (twenty years ago)

Your Wu-Tang Compact version looks a lot like mine, except I added
-Visions
-Better Tomorrow
-Little Ghetto Boys
-The MGM
-Duck Season

and WTFOMG... how could you miss "Dog Shit"?!?!

----
Lose "Wu-Revolution" (PLEASE!) and it still fits on one CD

Whiney G. Weingarten (whineyg), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 05:56 (twenty years ago)

Wouldn't lose Wu Revolution for anything!

"These things just... took over me. Took over my whole body, so I can't even see no more...."

If there were a Nation Of Gods And Earths Mystical Hoo-Ha Set To Ominous Beats OPO, surely this would be it.

rogermexico (rogermexico), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 06:10 (twenty years ago)

"dog shit" gotsta be on there! 'Bells of War' is probably my favourite from that album, not the best lyrics but the vibe is awesome

i love this section especially

"The weight of the fam is on our back and we can't fall
Victim to this long hall of fame, meaning nuttin
We came to punish the glutton with a substance
That can't be contained, Wu-Tang

Motherfuckers
We be seeing y'all asses when we walk up in the club
Y'all all in the back
Scared to speak the speak cause you scared
Punk motherfucker, we know what time it is
"

rizzx (Rizz), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 07:22 (twenty years ago)

and WTFOMG... how could you miss "Dog Shit"?!?!

Hey, I love dog shit as much as the next god. But I was trying to make an album out of that mess; and dog shit just doesn't fit the flow. As for Wu- Revolution, It's really important to have Poppa Wu on the end of this album. You've kind of spaced out by that time and don't even notice he's there til half way through the song and then you snap out of and are all this guy is the most insane and ridiculous man in the world. His contribution to the Wu is underrated. Like, for instance, how he left his stinky stain on all that I got is you. Have I mentioned that I own his album? I've never listed to it, but I assure you, it is groundbreaking.

And as for these little ghetto orphans:
-Visions - have you heard the masta killa verse? Man that guy sucks.
-Better Tomorrow - you can't party your life away, drink... fuck... ugh
-Little Ghetto Boys - eh?
-The MGM - I do like this song, just barely didn't make the cut. I want a little more from it. Recalls spot rusherz and 260, just not as good.
-Duck Season - the beat is boooring and nothing happens. Like alot of the album.

Now is the appropriate time to bestow props upon the sequencing of my version.
