#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

#20 Method Man & Redman - Da Rockwilder Points: 186 Votes: 8

ya Gravel Pit 1st on list I actively dislike

rockwilder one of the best songs ever made

didnt know gravel pit was so divisive

I like Rockwilder okay, but it always represented that shift away from sample-based music to fully digital production so it sorta rubs me the wrong way

Lol that explains the Bobby Boulders thing in the intro. Fun song imo

rockwilder def felt like a wu outlier at the time. album has aged really well imo.

this song is okay but come on now

Red didn’t like the beat, that’s why the record’s so short. When I first heard it, I was like, ‘Fuck that!’ Wrote my verse right there and spit on it and I was like, ‘You know what? We gon’ call this shit ‘Rockwilder’ after you, my nigga.’ That’s how much I love this beat.

Method Man's biggest track on Spotify for people interested in songs that weren't a bands biggest hit, but have gone on to be their legacy song and biggest iTunes seller

nice

“When we first started performing the record at shows, we used to have to do it twice, sometimes three times. If we came to perform at somebody else’s shit and that record came on, we shut it down!”

i love it as a hype record.

def, great great energy

^Would've been top 5 for me if I'd voted

#17 Wu-Tang Clan - Wu-tang Clan Ain't Nuthing Ta F' Wit Points: 206 Votes: 10

Thought that would be a top ten for sure

FInal 16 tomorrow.

Knowledge God would have been my number one. Hoped it was secretly everyone's favorite

I see that my favorite SC tracks differ from everyone else's, apparently

glaciers of ice was my number three, just straight fire throughout, best rae/ghost interplay on cuban linx

also, masta killa's greatest moment

not in terms of trading bars or anything, but their chemistry on the intro is so infectious, and the beat is absurd

#15 Method Man - Bring The Pain Points: 239 Votes: 10

Can It All Be So Simple is so understated but I still love it. Always thought that bass(?) sound was super weird.

surprised at Bring the Pain being this high

same. not sure i'd put it on my top 5 off that album

def not actually.

#14 Ol' Dirty Bastard - Got Your Money (f. Kelis) Points: 241 Votes: 10

Bring the Pain, Rockwilder and Gravel Pit all placing so high makes me think a lot of folks really rate these uptempo Meth-centric party jams but idk that's just not really what I want from Wu-Tang tbh

was wondering if Got Your Money was going to show up, what a monster single this was

yeah this song was huge.

Bring the Pain, Rockwilder and Gravel Pit all placing so high makes me think a lot of folks really rate these uptempo Meth-centric party jams but idk that's just not really what I want from Wu-Tang tbh

Not sure I'd put Bring The Pain in that same group.

#12 Wu-Tang Clan - I Can't Go to Sleep (f. Isaac Hayes) Points: 242 Votes: 9 Firsts: 1

idg how Nutmeg and One and Cherchez La Ghost all place high and Saturday Nite gets shut out

I Can't Go to Sleep is incredible

Saturday Nite always seemed like an interlude it's so short.

I voted for One tho

I Can't Go to Sleep is great, also put me on to Isaac Hayes. Was so pumped when I listened to hot buttereed soul the first time based on this track and found the source of like 20 tracks I loved that sampled Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic as well.

nutmeg is so brilliant

Scientific, my hand kissed it, robotic let's think optimistic
You probably missed it, watch me dolly dick it
Scotty, watty, cop it to me, big microphone hippie
Hit Poughkeepsie crispy chicken, verbs throw up a stone Richie

quite the way to open an album

ghost and rza really sell it on i cant go to sleep

yeah, when rza breaks down it's super affecting
