Lyrics:
Waking up about ten, kid
Jumping in the shower, peace, about to make moves and slide like grease
What? I'm all about TECs and checks with 'nough respect
You front, I'm slamming you like the Lex
So now I'm out in the ninety-five
Rocking that "Real Niggas Don't Die"
Guess down, drawers Kani
But, yo, I'm making a pitstop
Go and buy a box of Glocks
It equaled up, pay up, what up, 'Ak?
Yo, remember that kid that we vicked?
He made a half of mil' for real
We brought about four bricks
Yo, so now we connect thoughts
Meet me at the airport
Tell Golden Arms maintain the fort
Get in touch with that West Coast Cali crab you stabbed
And meet me at the bitch lab
So word up, kid, we slid like a fat four to twelve bid and shit
Couldn't even rest, I need the vic'
And when I slept, I dream G's, son, I need some
Keys won't sell, call up son
I heard Pook and Tyriq caught a beef over some real shit
A fake nigga faked and they killed his clique
Give me a minute and I'm winnin'
Yo, niggas done did it
Rock your vest, keep your whip tinted
So now we see him up in Bojangles strangling a forty ounce
With ten G's worth of gold bangles
Diamonds, what? All up in his face
With his man's mace
Medallions the size of dinner plates, yo
He knew we knew him so we blew him
Took thirty G's worth of jewels off that nigga, do him
So now I'm lamping in my man's land
Streets is hot like sand
G's is rolling in my right hand
Yup, you know the steezo black
Lot'll go down like that
Shallah, cigars and mob hats
Ninety-four, takin' niggas to war, yo, yo
#Raekwon #HeavenHell #HipHop #Rap #OnlyBuiltforCubanLinx
Only Raekwon and Ghostface Killah can make a story about robbing a drug dealer sound like a poetic love song 😂 Rap doesn’t give you this feeling anymore
Nah fr 😂😂😂😂
You get an A+ for that
🤣🤣🤣
Wat u said...this kinda rap created fond memories
Straight up
Man rap was crazy back in the 90’s ... I thought rap was going to be like this for ever lol boy was I wrong
Check out Griselda
mpforeverunlimited
I’m up on them boys but there the only ones with a few others doing there thang back in the 90’s everyone that was on back then had heat
Ya you were definitely wrong
@@Son1UPTu there's other dope artists...you just gotta dig through the underground for them. Its fucked up...the real are buried while the senseless niggas are ushered to the front, just to be replaced within a year or 5
Gotta love that wap smh
The way Ghostface walks into the club is one of the most gangsta shit I've ever seen
Facts he walks in so confident.
how about rae walking out of bed with tims on
@@smiauu Lmao word
Rae came out the womb with Timbs on son !!!
@@dennischavez4675 facts.
Watching this as a 19 year old, everyone in this video is probably in their mid 20’s, today they’re all in their 50’s, it really makes me realize how fast life moves, and how precious time is, time is never on our side and its the only thing we can’t get back
Facts
Great lesson to learn at 19. I bet those years were like a flash to them.
I’m 16, turning 17 soon
- Edit : I turned 17 on December 11th. Pretty late to edit tbh
Man im 13 and listen to this man, matter in fact we share a birthday, funny how it seems we were both born January 12 lol
Very deep and truthful
This video is 90s NY perfection
Never realized in the credits that Ghost had a daughter named Destiny that passed away. The amount of resilience and focus to overcome a hardship like that is mesmerizing and inspiring
he never shows any of that in his music he always keeps that same flow
Sacrifice
He lost her when she was a baby. Her twin is his son infinite ( who is still alive/his gay son). 😢. So sad. Can’t wait until the episode where we can see the background of it being discussed. 😢
@Attila Steele I was hoping it would be but you’re right, it’s too sad. 😢😢
@@Ilovechicago100 it’s not in the show. They only had one instead of twins
This shit will never leave my playlist, i swear to gawd. Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, one of the best albums of all time
Top 5
THAT'S WORD
PEACE from The VIRGIN ISLANDS ✊✊✊
My favorite album 💿 of all time
Almighty Purple tape,Rosetta stone of NYC gangster rap!!!😈
All them old solo wu tang. Are really good. RIP old dirty bastard.
they are telling a story and double teaming the track, this sh$t is crazy, with a smooth beat.
The beat was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The double team is epic. Run dmc shit
Rae & Ghost the best uncredited duo in hip-hop music. 👉🏾"Criminology, Shakey Dog starring Lolita, Can It All Be So Simple" just to name a few.
Killer
Facts they really took it back to the 80s with hop scotch back n forth flow
Rza had some of the best production in hiphop hands down..chef and ghost ate them shits up 💯♠👍🏽
Right on
Word up!
Soulful brova 💯💯💯
Top Hip Hop producers in the 90s everyone wanted was RZA, Eric Sermon, and Dr Dre. Everybody else was in the middle but the hardcore beats? Those were the three everyone talked about.
RZA’s run from 93-97 as a producer is the best of all time in my opinion. The first Wu album, followed by Meth, then in 1995 alone he does 3 classics with Ol’ Dirty, Raekwon and GZA. Ghostface in 96 and Wu Tang Forever in 97. Those were all classics at the time and they still hold up to this day.
Shout out for Rae for having rocking the ATCQ in the bedroom!
I imagine that it would be better to get the money from the other person to pick it off but it is a little too busy for you and I know that
I peep that!
I never noticed that til now lol this album is so good
MFDOOM 95 nice pfp
Midnight marauder
Still looking at this in 2020.
Me too..nice to meet you!
Me Murat from Turkey 🇹🇷❤🌹
me tooooooo ! from japan
Facto
Toronto!
Classic. Shit like this helped raise me
Word is bond!!!
Im 30 and this might be one of my favorite songs of all time
Same fam I think about this song once every month or some shit
Respect! You have great taste. 42 here, this is a banger!
Yea defo is man
Wutang forever
You speak the truth! The album version is even better because the beat keeps going and Blue Raspberry continues with that wicked soulful singing while Ghost and Rae give shout outs and dedications. I was in my early teens when this album dropped and used to put it on repeat and let it play for hours.
My absolute favorite on the album. The soul of this shit is amazing
Syl Johnson “Could I Be Falling In Love” is the sample.
This is the smoothest flow & beat ever...I’m 24 and I recognize real hip-hop for what it is...the raw story telling...the choreography...the nostalgia..the voice of Raekwon & Ghostface..it all blends together perfectly like sherbet ice cream, Neapolitan ice cream, Peanut butter & jelly, peanut butter & chocolate..lol man overall I’m just a big Wu Tang fan and I’m glad I was put on to it!
Bear witness as there will never be music like this ever again. The 90s was a special era. Every last 10 years of each century is special -- mark my words.
@@spearPYN I feel you it was definitely an art to it and I know the older generation can appreciate it a lot more in the era we are now...the throwbacks just really hit different frfr!
If u 24 u ain’t kno Youngblood js
@@gagejanssen268 💯
@@Benzino021K Old Soul
Low key one of best wu songs ever made outta everybody
Indeed. There is no way you can listen to this song and not think about your upbringing and the obstacles you have had or have to overcome.
Shout out to all of those that were around for this and are still kicking coming back to pay homage to another Wu Tang masterpiece. Respect
Feels good and sad at the same time 🎭
@@ericnielsen5441 I know what u mean levels 2 yo comment so many good & bad but the 1 thing that I remember was even b4 internet the saying was like street talk, magazines if rap went mainstream it was goin get fucked up & it ain't lie but thankfully it's underground where it can't b controlled so I still can get the old & new. Ma fuckas thats really out here keeping this shit going that put their heart in it & some OG's that's still doing it but we gotta look 4 it now cause radio failed us big time
👍
25 years..still one of the greatest albums ever
So smooth I almost slipped and fell.
This album been in rotation my whole life
One of the best tunes of all time
Raekwon & Ghost got that good chemistry going with those bars. Wu-Tang Clan is legendary.
I'm a L.A. dude who was like 19-20yrs old when the purple tape came out & I liked Enter the Wu but didn't love it cuz Cali dudes talk different, use different words. So i just loved RZA's production & Meth's voice & didn't recognize the other members other than Dirty. How could a nigga miss The Unique Ason???😂. But I heard this beat somewhere off in the distance 1 day so i could barely hear it but i locked in on it. That shit hypnotized a nigga cuzz. & i just wanted to hear a line so that i could find out which Wu niggas song it was & figured the song must be called Heaven & Hell. This joint was my favorite song for a long time & that album taught me Wu-Tang slang.......Werd Up. So from there Rae is my favorite MC in the Wu. But not by no leaps & bounds & shit cuz i even fuck with The GZA he hard, Deck, my nigga The High Chief Jamel ah Ray Masta Killah, & of course all the main cats Dirt, Ghost, etc. I knew that i loved hip hop when i locked in on these niggas cuz they were so different than other hip hop niggas. They was grimy New York niggas issuin out Buck-Fifties to rivals of the clan & was some underground real hip hop with it. Cuz at the time us over here in Cali had changed the game. Wu-Tang, Big, Nas & Mobb Deep kept New York on the map back then. This was the Golden age in Hip Hop when shit got real & the surviving children of the crack epidemic of the mid 80's had made it to 18. We was them dudes America A wasn't ready for. Lot of legends who are still viable from this era cuz other regions had niggas who was dope too. Death Row was having a major movement selling millions of records saying what the fuck we all been wanting to say & just didnt give a fuck!!! So an MC had to be dope without political correctness or they wasn't gone make it.
Ur weird lmao
@@21backwards78 what are you homie, “normal” & robotic with no personality or sumthin??? That Shit is weird to me that a nigga reliving a pivotal moment in time when hip hop was at its best while major shit was goin down in the streets & describing it in vivid detail is weird to you. I just write from a storyteller’s perspective Cuzz . So I’m a little puzzled by your comment because that’s a “weird” take you have regarding my story. But at least it wasn’t boring cuz you read that long ass shit. Lmao
"Stay Awake to the ways of the word cause shit is deep" Wu-Tang Forever, still bumping in 2023 🔥
That line is from cream 1993 bro
Here after the VERZUZ battle.......this was more of a celebration than a battle
The greatest duo in rap with the flyness
I love how all the wu members are in the video. Their unity is amazing.
The beat is so smooth. The chemistry between ghost and rea with exchanging lyrics is just something else
ODB is not in the video i don’t think!
Nothing will ever compare to the power 🔋 of 90s rap
Rap has evolved a lot over the years but the sampled 90s boom bap vibe just sounds timeless
When it comes to that back and forth flow I have AZ/Nas, Styles/Jada, and Ghost and Raekwon at the top of the list
So now I’m lampin in my man’s Land,
Streets is hot like sand!
G’s is rolling in my right hand ! 🔥 just pure swagger
One of the hardest beats ever made
We thought it was gonna be like this 4 the rest of our lives..
Wu-Tang is here forever muthaf*****!
RIP ODB
Vevo censored you , too ? lol
Ahhhjeahhh... Son
ua-cam.com/video/FRM6SSS-vCs/v-deo.html
This and Mobb Deeps Start Of Your Ending have 2 of the smoothest beats of all time. 2 very underrated Gem pieces.
They both should've had a video.
One of my favorite rap songs of all time. Raekwon and Ghostface are two of the illest rappers ever.
Yooo at 3:03 that’s Nas getting the dice 🎲 back with that stick lol word is bond
Back when rappers told stories in their raps
They still do lol
@@TheTryhardBeast12 not new school
@@TheTryhardBeast12 they do shit
“Medallions the size of dinner plates 🍽”
Man if that ain’t luxury rap at its finest, I don’t know what is.
“We did the video and I was pissy drunk. If you look at the video, when I was walking in, my hat was all fucking crazy. I’m in the limo just intoxicated like, ‘Wow, I’m really doin’ this shit.’ And we just set it up like we were the richest niggas in the town, like silk shirts. Try to really go away from the hardcore shit for a second, and just show the versatility.
”So I was always the dude that initiated like, ‘Let’s come in like this, let’s get the silk shirts.’ And you know everybody else will be lookin’ at me like, ‘You sure?’ And Ghost’ll be the one to be like, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah lord. Yeah, we gon’ get the hats. We gon’ get the shoes.’ We felt like we was the black Frank Sinatra. Word.” - Chef Raekwon
Wow. Never knew that
This song brings tears to my mfkn eyes...back in 94 living in deepside in Lauderhill fl....we where living every part of this song....shit was live as hell.....
One my peeps was always getting pulled over so one time he asked this female officer why ? She said " welcome to Lauderhill boo. " 🤣🤣
Hell yea got some ppls in the 5519 to bih
In 1995 I was 18 in the US Army, stationed in Germany and this and other classics from the iconic 1990s (Adina Howard, Montell Jordan, Mobb Deep, Bad Boy, Xcape, Jodeci, Mary J, and others). rap and R&B was the soundtrack of our barracks.
Stark’s woman in the car is a lot! I been in chefs position too much tho lol
lmaoooooo
Wing man
Winging it
😂😂🤣
😂
what about the broad at 1:10... woah
Straight highway music......Hustlers can relate! 🅱️🅱️🅾️
That Acura tho 😍😍😍. Best song ever
The golden era of hip hop I remember playing this 20x in a row lol
When they did this on verzuz I went crazy 🔥🔥
Me toooo
damn its already been 4 months since they did that versuz 😳
@@DontGetMadGetMoney felt like it’s been only a month 😂😂😂
Beautiful track. Been playin this since the 90's. I had a clear tape in my walkman😂🎧 (mine was dubbed from a mate's cd)
The sample is Syl Johnson : Could I be fallin in love.
I always feel the emotion within the beat love it
This song should be in a national music museum forever.
''Get in touch with that west coast Cali crab you stabbed.'' Salute to Ghost for spittin whatever he felt like and wasn't worried about any beef.
He’s talking about a lady, they used to use wild slang for fucking like stabbed
Timeless classic. One of the best "B" sides ever.
I got high listening to this..... and for 3 hours this song didnt end....... it was a reminiscing journey for me
One of the hardest music videos of all time.
When rap was real. I feel blessed because I lived all of this 🙏
Some of the greatest shit of all time..
5 single video releases from this album! Raekwon/Wu shine like gold
Its crazy how many people come back to this everyday... this song is a masterpiece!
My life was hard them times, "what do you believe in? Heaven or hell? We dont believe in heaven cause we're living in hell" I related to that shit. I'm so proud of myself that my kids will never understand that line.
🌬💛
If you believe in hell you should believe in heaven too.
This Duo out of the group is one hell of a combination
That beat is crazy🔥
We got FatJoe making a cameo,and the old lady in the window,who called the police and for Case killed by the officer,They show that in the WuTang series...
Which episode
I was looking for this comment. Glad I'm not the only one😀
Miss these days when music had understanding 😞✊💪
1:15 looks like cappa in the back
What do you believe in heaven or hell you dont believe in heaven because were living in hell
Here after their 🔥 VS battle. I remember the first time I heard that beat then the lyrics...I miss the 90s so bad. What do you believe in? These legends‼️‼️
We used to be in heaven with good rap now we in hell 🔥 with bad rap
Well said fammo, this $s®€¢t now is definitely 👿 rap.
Syl Johnson sample is really dope... classic song from a masterpiece Album.
Chillest instrumental I’ve ever heard
Another gem from my hey day....brings back memories of the mid 90's. Magical times when everything was more real, more pure, less generic and soul-less and disposable like the last nearly 20 years. A time before the internet, social media and cell phones came along to kill real human experience....and in turn killed real music that came from the heart and not just treated like another accessory. That's how I see today's music, it's like downloading the latest app lol
Facts
Mafiaso energy all day!!! This stays on repeat!!! The way they play off each other is insane!!! This is one of the best tracks that display playing off each other🔥🔥🔥🔥🎆🎆🎆
Back in the days....good days!
These days are equal, without a doubt! But those memories, that's the thing you know. Bless👐
Yes 👍
2021 and this is still Fire 🔥 big respect ✊🏾 to Raekwon one of the best to ever do this. We lost DOOM but we still have Rae.
Them dudes was real black mobsters shout-out Ghost and Rae.
All these years, the 1 thing that stands out the most is not the 90s Backdrop of Inner City Staten Island, Ghost and Rae's untouchable chemistry on the Mic together, the "product of its time" Nostagia throughout the vid or RZA's production.........it's the Random Fat Joe Cameo in the end
Jesus christ, the background singer just rocks your SOUL.
Hip hop with CHILLS!
Fat Joe's cameo is priceless
Damn! This brings me back...so blessed to have been brought up in this era
So true I remember when this came out back in 94 I was in fourth grade the wu had shit on lock everything they put out was fire
@@dj1na oh, true indeed
"A little hundred dollars thinks that makes you a man?" Reakwon is crazy. Top 5 MC
That echo on rae voice is wicked. This joint B medicinal for real ones 🔥.
Silently I pray while this songs play. Truth plus knowledge, word.
Another Chapter of Golden Era Hip-hop
I was 12 when this came out.
What a good time in music, I wasn’t just listening to rap, I had the purple tape, the blue 311 album, the blue Weezer album.
My music was and is all over the place.
Greatest Dynamic Duo of alltime. There’s not even a close second.
Legendary song
remember recording yo MTV raps and this video came out,we used to watch it over and over,lethal song👌
This is dedicated to all my real niggaz who live what they rap about....salute..
Love You Wu Cats! Much Love From Little Rock, Ar WU SOUTH!!
I can't believe it's only 66k this is one of my favorite songs off the purple tape.
Blue Raspberry...man oh man. Her vocals...since I first heard this track (and def. on Rainy Dayz)...so soul soothing!!!
Too bad this isn't the full album version of the track and is censred. Smh Then you could experience the full power Blue has evoking the emotions similar to how Jill Scott, Erykah Badu or Anita Baker does for me...in my personal opinion of powerful songtresses.
I really wanna say 94 was one of the best years for a hiphop head yo soooo much heat 😮
Yeah 96 up there too for sure
Greatest duo ever!
On of my favorite songs
I love this one and the beat and hook is CLASSIC ! ❤
Waking up and then going to take a shower.....with Timberland boots on??????????????? 😂😂😂😂
Rae & Ghost dropped a couple of bangers with Mobb Deep too. Word Up, they sounded nice together....
Contrevercial statement: OB4CL>ILLMATIC
I support your statement
Hard to pick..either one is no wrong way and both probably in the top 15 all time
Before there was a Jadakiss and Styles P, there was Rae and Ghost
These beats and rhymes just hit different miss these days videos hit different back then too #GladIWasBornWhenIWasBorn #86
Nothing like the early 90s and mid 90s. Unforgettable.
