THE POLL IS COMIN THROUGH, THE OUTCOME IS CRITICAL — WU-TANG CLAN — Artist Poll — Results

I got the vinyl the day that came out, took it to my friends' house that a turntable/mixer setup and was kinda unimpressed after the long Poppa Wu intro and then Reunited came on and it was like BOOM

listening to this on the way to work this morning and, man, the storytelling in that really makes me take stock of things when i think life is rough. just unbelievably touching.

there's no toilet paper, use the newspaper

might be the first song that ever made me cry, at least that i can remember anyway. my #2

#28 Ghostface Killah - Run (f. Jadakiss) Points: 145 Votes: 6 Firsts:

My #1 track! (from Enter The Magical Mystery Chambers)

https://youtu.be/Ex4IKMMRDWQ

1st one I've never heard! I kinda dropped out during that pretty toney/bulletproof wallets era. None of the bits I heard grabbed me.

this didn't get any #1 votes, i just double-checked your ballot and it wasnt on there!

#27 Ghostface Killah - Winter Warz Points: 153 Votes: 7

this one never grabbed me as much as it did other people, evidently

RUN!!!!!!

whaaat winter warz is so good

run is also amazing and intense as hell, voted for it in my top ten

I love how Cap made a new video for his verse (his crowning achievement?) on this a few years back.

cappadonna is so, so good on winter warz, a peak he never came close to matching

^^ cap's verse is the main reason why i love the song so much

Discombumberate your technique and your scheme lol

Run is great, a highlight of the album.

xp

aw... sorry that was unclear. it's def not #1 on my ballot. just meant it was the one track from Magical Mystery Chambers that really worked for me

lol i was about to do a full recount

all these tracks rule, but I feel like Swordsman could have placed higher, such a menacing banger of a beat and gza the genius lyrics

#21 Wu-Tang Clan - Gravel Pit Points: 183 Votes: 8

idk why ppl love this song so much - too high!

it's fun!

classic video too

lol I've never seen that video - was that some Flintstones movie tie-in thing or something

their 2nd biggest streamer on Spotify atm, CREAM comfortably #1

lifted from Wiki so not sure how accurate but this is p funny stuff

The music video, directed by Joseph Kahn, features the Wu-Tang Clan arguing in their time machine, and in argument accidentally sending themselves back to "2,000,000 BC", which bears strong resemblance to the representation of the Stone Age in The Flintstones. The "gravel pit" is a large, fancy pit made from stone and bones. The "pit", apparently a casino, contains a fountain, stone age cars, dancing women - including the actress Tamala Jones, credited as "Crystal Diamonds" - and large dinosaurs. It appears to be ruled by the Wu-Tang Clan (with the exception of Ol' Dirty Bastard, who was incarcerated at the time - he "appears" as a pair of enchained arms hanging out of a makeshift jail cell), who now have "stone age" personas and clothing. At the end of the video "Bo Rockhard" (Bokeem Woodbine), a rival ninja challenges the Wu-Tang ninjas, RZA leads ninjas and fights off a horde of rival ninjas attacking the pit. The track's opening soundbite (as well as many found on the album) comes from the movie Short Eyes.

Each Wu-Tang member adopts a different name in the video. RZA becomes "Bobby Boulders", Meth is "Joe Quarry", Ol' Dirty Bastard becomes "Ol' Dirty Blocks", Ghostface is renamed "Frank Stoney", Raekwon is "Lex Rockhead", and U-God is "Stonefingers".

Gravel Pit was really fun to dance to at college parties
