I've been listening to this song for 25 years, never gets old. People say you change as you get older but I'm White and in my 40's and still listening to this CD LOL.
Do people actually realize how fucking ILL this, and hip-hop as a whole, was at this time?!! The creativity, the elite level rhyming... I mean... [throws hands up and walks away]
This is something i may have listened to in the third grade thinking i was edgy or something but this is pretty gay. Along with icp and brother lynch and twisted and all that gayness
”The cause of death is unknown to the cops, cause when i kill em’, i’m not leavin one element to autopse!

Here is the 1992 RNS /RZA produced hq instrumental used for wu tang demo tape ua-cam.com/video/icVVl6SotaQ/v-deo.html rza and the undertaker would later remake this beat in 1994 for this track but also give production credit to RNS for providing the original co production in 92 .peace
@Robert Duca.....I guess you could say I'm odd man out......I haven't a fb, Instagram or any social media. Thought about fb........but the lone wolf is strong with this one....hah. I like being nobody from nowhere.
he's actually a modern genius. this was just a troubling moment in his life. the journey of a master is fraught with peril. especially when you realize the truth. only the strong can survive the metamorphosis

The 1st Gravediggas album will always be timeless to me,it was 4 pissed off artists letting their anger of the industry & turning it into a soundscape.CLASSIC!

I saw this video on tik tok talking about this particular song. I was about to scroll until he said "Rza" and it got my attention. Now I'm addicted to the first verse.
@@joerivandeweyer3056 Kool G Rap's Executioner Style was pretty grimey. He's more into that Italian Mobster type rap. Notible mentions while we're on the darkest side of Hip Hop... Natural Born Killaz - Dre and Cube. Devils Son - Big L, and anything from Necro lol
So the first verse is Shabazz the Disciple, who is not actually a member of Gravediggaz, and the third verse is Killah Priest, also not a member. Rza and Frukwan (Rzarector and The Gatekeeper) are the second and fourth verses respectively, and they are members. There are two other members who don't have verses, which are Prince Paul (the Undertaker) and Ill Poetic (The Grym Reaper). Being a Wu-Tang nerd, this is all interesting to me. Shabazz the Disciple and Killah Priest both made their debuts with the verses here, and went on to be two of the more prolific extracurricular Wu-Tang affiliates, both as members of the Sunz Of Man group. i know nobody cares.
The Best Rapper/Producers of all time... Has got be Dr Dre, Rza, and Havoc... I love Q-Tip as well, But he didn't have as many albums produced Tracks as Dr Dre and Rza. Dre clocks in at about close to 90 and Rza I think was about 70.. And don't forget DJ Primere with well over 100. But he doesn't Rap like Dre Rza and Havoc.
Danny Galaxxy Premo doesn't rap so you can't throw them in there. The reason I don't consider Dre is because he doesn't write his rhymes. Hav and Rza write their rhymes and hold there own against their counter parts. Da Doggpound and Snoop and Eminem always by far overshadow Dre's verse, even though one of them wrote it.
I'm an old school metal head but this song is one of my favorites that's come out of hip hop scene. I don't think they make them like before..(music in general)
Horrorcore was always an interesting subgenre of rap. It also helps that some good artists use their experience in the streets. Big L is probably the best example.
A friend introduced me to Gravediggaz in the mid 90s. I later found out that there was this whole 'Horrorcore' rap subgenre, but from what I can see no-one did it better than Gravediggaz...
"At birth nurses surrounded me with needles and drugged me up with diseases of evil" if you ask me Shabbaz' s whole verse is one of the greatest in rap history
Johnny Mathis samples of No Love But Your Love and Warm and Tender woven together by one of the master producers to ever grace the art of hip hop to create this amazing tapistry behold it's a masterpiece hard to the core ear drums is left sore. thank u Gravediggaz.
So dark. So gritty. So scary. And then you hear, 🔨🔨🔨🔨"Guilty!" I laugh every time 😂😂😂 (Especially cuz the lawyer said, "Don't worry, guys. The judge is my uncle.")
I remember when this and Liquid Swords dropped... I was stunned at the quality. People slept on Gravediggaz and Grym Reaper never lived to see a new generation discover this gem of hiphop. RIP Ill Poetic
I remember getting the promo tape (white tape) in 1993. I was freaked out how good it was. It was way, way ahead of its time. To this day, it's still my favorite track of all time.
"When I CRY IN MY EYE!! AHHH!!!!" One night I repeated this song well over 12 times in an aparment complex....In one night the neighbor on the first floor bitched about the noise, then his pipes burst.I swear the song did it...
yes this one is nicee !! i also like notorious big's first verse, which i heard was on dolly my baby by super cat. 2 of them are just on the top of the list
"I'll creep through the graveyard and hunt down your tombstone Dig up your Skeleton and stomp all your fucking bones" - Coldest rap bar in hip hop history.
Only knew this track via LP Album, played & repeated it endlessly, Nice to See the video for the firsttime (takes me back to 90’s MTV and sourcing 12”) thanks for the upload!!
"Bare witness as I exercise my exorcism." One of the best opening lines ever.
I always understand "be a witness"
@TrannyClowns so I was hearing it right, thanks
How is you stupid? So being a demon is cool since when? 😅Dam y’all retarded. This shit sounds stewpid as hell
same. Be a witness, bare witness. @@obornyi2407
C'mon nobody was speaking like that.. Gods took it to another level..
"I been examined ever since I was semen... they took the sonogram and seen the image - of a DEMON!" Honestly one of my favourite rhymes ever.
Shabazz murdered this 🔥🔥
Early edgelords ;)
Línea inigualable
Equivalent to a Pulitzer prize winner....
So powerful, deep ...
Hahaha this one cracks me up
I've been listening to this song for 25 years, never gets old. People say you change as you get older but I'm White and in my 40's and still listening to this CD LOL.
Immortal.

They don't.

Its crazy how many people come back to this everyday... this song is masterpiece!

I'm back 2022
It definitely is my dad told me about these guys an It really suck we don’t got any rap groups like this today. Or like the Wu tang

It's sad. They should own the disc.
Hip-hop will never sound like this again. Thank God for these beautiful memories being around during this Era.
NEVER.
This beat..........wish it was more like this. Thank God for Havoc.
It's horrorcore, not hip hop. RZA says this.
Listening july 2024? 💟
servin life!!!! but still bumpin dis epic track👊

Yep, dat beat is precise

You need to listen to "Head Neck Apartheid" by Necro! The second verse is fire!

Dopest underrated hip hop group ever to do it. RIP Poetic
This album was insane . So underrated in my top 10 albums of all time .
What was the name

I bought this album on tape I'm 42 crazy .

such a cute song
"im fighting a holy war in the mental"
That line stuck out for me too. The beat is eerie as fuck tho.
RZA laid down a sick verse. He has got to be the best producer/rapper of all time. Havoc of Mobb Deep also.
Havoc was insane
jon dunn Yeah its a toss up between the two. You can't go wrong either way with both.
Q TIP!

20 years ago today this album dropped. Still to this day, one of the best & 1 of my most played.

Horrorcore was always an interesting subgenre of rap. It also helps that some good artists use their experience in the streets. Big L is probably the best example.
you should check out necro if you aint already!
Same here.

Hadn't heard of those, thanks!
check flatlinerz mate lol

One of the best in Horrorcore.
"Giving n*ggas brain dimples" is the hardest line ever
one of the best tracks I've ever heard, and the beat is magical.
This whole album is a masterpiece
Absolutely incredibly well written and flowed so damn good. A timeless classic
Accurate
rza's raw and gritty vocals gives me goosebumps and so does the story that goes along with this music video.
a group of nice young lads making beautiful music!
one of my favorite albums till this day. !!
"At birth nurses surrounded me with needles and drugged me up with diseases of evil" if you ask me Shabbaz' s whole verse is one of the greatest in rap history

That song is brutal. It also has some full undertones. Love it
I remember when this dropped , little did we know it was a pre curser to the best hip hop album Eva ✊🏽
I wanna go back to when hip hop sounded like this. Back when they used creativity and lyricism
This beat was ill, hit with some cold ass lyrics...straight classic
90’s was def the golden era of hip-hop
best era

Ginerization facts.
Ginerization what does it mean then
The beat is ridiculous. One of my favorites
Shabazz the Disciples hottest verse ever
check out "Crime Saga" too
Shabazz massacred the whole track with his verse. Easily one of the best verses in hip hop and the hardest opening in a rap joint.
Absolutely bro... 💯
My older brother was into hip hop and one of his cds was Gravediggaz. I really liked the sound of this album.
2020 and still fire 🔥 90’s Rap is the illest !
