I love how even in 2008, this track still feels as gritty and raw as 36 chambers. This is why RZA is one of the greatest hip hop producers of all time.
Knowledge is lost every day. For fucks sake we dont even know how to build the rocket that took man to the moon any more. If something is known all it takes for it to be lost is a generation not caring or practicing the knowledge. Knowledge like a sword needs maintenance, sharpening and use. Without care it becomes a pile of rust that is just a memory or the ghost of what it used to be.
Lyrics (Hook) No matter how hard you try, you can’t stop me now No matter how hard you try, you can’t stop me now (RZA) The greatest B-Boy of all time, started from small crimes While others had big tops I was slingin small dimes Tryin to make the come up, the blow used to numb up A few G’s a week, my clique used to sum up Till my brothers got locked up, my girl got knocked up My closest homies each, got popped up and shot up And cops flood the block, no way to eat So I dropped a half a G on a rented SP 1200 Sampler, and a Yamaha Four-Track The bass from the lab used to blow the fuckin door back While Ghost was doin stick-ups, tryin to make a vic up Waitin outside for the Brinks truck to pick up Nothing would work, so we’re back to choppin nicks up Givin grown ass women two vials for a dick suck When I was stressed I would head to the rest Then the pads on the SP-12 got pressed Makin beats for the streets, so the family could eat In 93, Wu-Tang Clan dropped their first LP We went platinum, *whoo-peesh*, yeah we flatten em Pockets got fat and um, went and got Cap and then Staten’s on the map and um, Brooklyn Zu is bombin em All around the world, Killa Beez start swarmin em You can’t stop us, you can’t block us Rock us or mock us, knock us or top us Better sit back and watch us (Hook) No matter how hard you try, you can’t stop me now No matter how hard you try, you can’t stop me now (Inspectah Deck) Can’t stop me man... No matter how hard, you better go hard So hard, if you gonna try and stop me now I be ruckus to rhythm like the blocks be wild Bad enough I got the cops tryin to lock me down Can’t nobody break my stride or shake my pride Without a homicide, case and trial It’s a long time comin, long nines bustin Cradle to the grave I be on my grind hustlin Sometimes when I think about it, have my mind buggin The shit that I been through, things that I’ve seen The chicks that I ran through, places I’ve been I’m a victim of the very song I sing That’s how it is in the heart of it, most want no part of it Some will soothe the pain through booze and narcotics I’mma hold my head, stay true to where my heart is Either you pay with your life, or you pay dues and homage (Hook) No matter how hard you try, you can’t stop me now No matter how hard you try, you can’t stop me now No matter how hard you try, you can’t stop me now No matter how hard you try, you can’t stop me now ❤️
c e only hiphop heads know him, he isnt known to everyone else, sort of in the way even people who arent in to hip hop know artists like jay, eminem, biggie etc
c e i'm not disputing that? im talking about the fact artists like the whole of wu and nas are legends but aren't really know to anyone outside of the hiphop scene
This is still one of the dopest tracks in 2021 This track got me through so much you couldn't imagine Much love an respect Rza Thank you for the feeling
ya estoy ruco, disfrute y disfruto de moustros y leyendas como el wtk y rza, veo que muchos vienen por el mu y su tiró con dtoke no empesemos a autonombrarnos más o menos que otros, todos llegamos a este punto disfrutemos lo de hoy y lo del antes, las leyendas y los que van a pasos gigantes Armando esto que nos gusta, esto que aunque creamos que es exclusivo de nosotros de los de antes siempre es grato saber que un chamaco seguirá rolando la música vergas, no hay nada más satisfactorio que caminar por el barrio y escuchar por las ventanas estas rolas.
Ali Habibullah Well yeah he's the mastermind of the whole shit. What would the others have done without his instrumentals giving them their unique energy? Not much.
Yes those were good days. And then people changed. Maybe for shame or maybe to try to get more game. But its a constant struggle, if you really strive, if you really live liiiive. What it do from here? where go from here? you can't stop my now. Fight for my tribe... It's the Chief
the COLDEST mutha flower In the entire WU the man drops *ish so damn raw and serious his *ish is freaking historical lyrically no one earth can match this cat in the realism and skill he drops sum reah ish none of his words are without value
MF. DOOM drop this track in 2006 : Special Herbs : "Emblica Officinalis" CD 1. But Bobby and INS did a great job, Peace to the real ones... from Paris.
I love how even in 2008, this track still feels as gritty and raw as 36 chambers. This is why RZA is one of the greatest hip hop producers of all time.
Word
heard that
bong bong
elshando12 lol this is no where near as gritty and raw as 36 Chambers 😂😂😂
It's funny cus it's not his beat it's Dooms lol
No lie, there was a time when I'd play this shit every day. this song actually motivated me to keep pushing forward, made me determined asf. Classic!
When I woke up in the morning I pounded my chest to this shit!
RZA-not much else to say. Genius.
I don't want to live in a world without the Wu.
WU will always be there because WU TANG is FOR EVER!
0pq a
He doesn't spit fire, he spits knowledge. Fire eventually dies out, while knowlage is around for ever.
He spits imaginations because knowledge is limited imagination is timeless.
Also rusty bitches: *Spells knowledge wrong*
Very well said brother
wisdom is eternal its what the world was one of the things the world was made on
Knowledge is lost every day. For fucks sake we dont even know how to build the rocket that took man to the moon any more.

Lyrics
(Hook)
No matter how hard you try, you can’t stop me now
No matter how hard you try, you can’t stop me now
(RZA)
The greatest B-Boy of all time, started from small crimes
While others had big tops I was slingin small dimes
Tryin to make the come up, the blow used to numb up
A few G’s a week, my clique used to sum up
Till my brothers got locked up, my girl got knocked up
My closest homies each, got popped up and shot up
And cops flood the block, no way to eat
So I dropped a half a G on a rented SP
1200 Sampler, and a Yamaha Four-Track
The bass from the lab used to blow the fuckin door back
While Ghost was doin stick-ups, tryin to make a vic up
Waitin outside for the Brinks truck to pick up
Nothing would work, so we’re back to choppin nicks up
Givin grown ass women two vials for a dick suck
When I was stressed I would head to the rest
Then the pads on the SP-12 got pressed
Makin beats for the streets, so the family could eat
In 93, Wu-Tang Clan dropped their first LP
We went platinum, *whoo-peesh*, yeah we flatten em
Pockets got fat and um, went and got Cap and then
Staten’s on the map and um, Brooklyn Zu is bombin em
All around the world, Killa Beez start swarmin em
You can’t stop us, you can’t block us
Rock us or mock us, knock us or top us
Better sit back and watch us
(Hook)
No matter how hard you try, you can’t stop me now
No matter how hard you try, you can’t stop me now
(Inspectah Deck)
Can’t stop me man...
No matter how hard, you better go hard
So hard, if you gonna try and stop me now
I be ruckus to rhythm like the blocks be wild
Bad enough I got the cops tryin to lock me down
Can’t nobody break my stride or shake my pride
Without a homicide, case and trial
It’s a long time comin, long nines bustin
Cradle to the grave I be on my grind hustlin
Sometimes when I think about it, have my mind buggin
The shit that I been through, things that I’ve seen
The chicks that I ran through, places I’ve been
I’m a victim of the very song I sing
That’s how it is in the heart of it, most want no part of it
Some will soothe the pain through booze and narcotics
I’mma hold my head, stay true to where my heart is
Either you pay with your life, or you pay dues and homage
(Hook)
No matter how hard you try, you can’t stop me now
No matter how hard you try, you can’t stop me now
No matter how hard you try, you can’t stop me now
No matter how hard you try, you can’t stop me now
❤️
Jelena Nordén thank
@@want2kram67 great job! but I think RZA said "pockets got fat", not flat
kopp THE REAL MVP
How long did it take you to write that
Thank you!! Think re. the line about cap, it's 'went and got Cap and then'
RZA was the producer on all of the old school Wu-Tang songs, basically the mind behind the magic, still working his magic a decade later.
its sad how people really dont know about the god rza
c e only hiphop heads know him, he isnt known to everyone else, sort of in the way even people who arent in to hip hop know artists like jay, eminem, biggie etc
c e i'm not disputing that? im talking about the fact artists like the whole of wu and nas are legends but aren't really know to anyone outside of the hiphop scene
i met the god rza
Michael Simmons that's not true (he's legend
Michael Simmons I love him except for selling once upon a time in shaolin
This is still one of the dopest tracks in 2021 This track got me through so much you couldn't imagine Much love an respect Rza Thank you for the feeling
24*
The last real rap song that I remembered that played on mainstream radio. But aside that, this song inspires me to move forward in life.
Still moving forward?
Van Yamada Rza! - It’s helping me the same way in this chapter of my life.
@@jacobwalter9723 I wonder if he still moving forward myself.
i think mf doom was played on the radio but idk tbh
I think, that's the point.
Much love from Scotland 🏴 to all my hip hop heads across the globe. WU-TANG IS FOREVER!
No importa cuanto lo intentes no me detendras 🎶🎵
Lineaaaaa 16
El Alcalde 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️
As a 40 yr old white guy... RZA belongs in the hall of fame.
This should have been in Django Unchained.
This comment is life.
thanks dawg.
good coment))
YES. I always felt like this belongs in a Quentin Tarantino movie.. Django Unchained would be perfect
I agree shit would have been hard
Rza damn near described the entire Wu Tang series in his verse.
This reminds me of good times before my 86-0 unbeaten online fight night round 4 charecter got knocked the fuck out..... R.I.P Bautista
This was Bautistas entrance theme, and for 86 fights he stayed true to the lyrics.
la dodgers 4 life rip to mah nigga bautista
Silva DLM
+la dodgers 4 life Hahahahah i laughed pretty hard at this
No
What can I say the man is a genius. The music, the rhymes, and the confidence makes them invincible
Fucking amazing! So many artists that sampled the "Message from a black man" track.
The greatest ones is this, Nas and King Geedorah.
The Supervillain
I might be wrong but didn't MF DOOM sample that track too?
what's the definition of ironic again?
Absolutely, I think Viktor sampled it as well.
Antimatter with Mr Fantastik
Rza is one of these who can cure my existential disease!!!
Nas, Mos Def and RZA all have used this loop on a song! great sample.
GoodxJ and King Geedorah
in which songs have nas and mos def used it?
Nas - You Can't Stop Us Now... the song is even darker and grittier
And MF Doom
yeah which one is def on
that guitar riff is viscous
+cody grace King Geedorah - Anti Matter feat. MF Doom / Mr. Fantastik
not even RZAs
Whatnauts, 1970
**Vicious**
It has high viscosity?
After everything I've went through ... I'm still here. No matter how hard you try; you can't stop me now...
ya estoy ruco, disfrute y disfruto de moustros y leyendas como el wtk y rza, veo que muchos vienen por el mu y su tiró con dtoke no empesemos a autonombrarnos más o menos que otros, todos llegamos a este punto disfrutemos lo de hoy y lo del antes, las leyendas y los que van a pasos gigantes Armando esto que nos gusta, esto que aunque creamos que es exclusivo de nosotros de los de antes siempre es grato saber que un chamaco seguirá rolando la música vergas, no hay nada más satisfactorio que caminar por el barrio y escuchar por las ventanas estas rolas.

RZA is my favorite member from Wu-Tang.
Ali Habibullah Well yeah he's the mastermind of the whole shit. What would the others have done without his instrumentals giving them their unique energy? Not much.

I swear if i ever became a Boxer i'd have this as my ring-walk.
Fight Night Round 4
Wu stallion or this.
I'd probably go Method Man - Bring the Pain
Thought the same 😆
Been thinking about the same thing lately and now i stumble on to your comment 😂👌🏼
Love that guitar lick. Carries the track. Awesome. Rza is hip hop as far as I'm concerned.
Making beats for the streets,so the family can eat!! Fucking genius Rza can spit like no other!!!
This is one of RZA best songs ever. Up there with "Windpipe"
2019 from Paris 21 years old... Man.. wu tang is eternal.. Just listening to truth peace
remember this back when it came out on mtv top new music videos i had just ditched school and chilling with the homies and,this just was just fire .
This song should've been used in Afro Samurai. It could've been an awesome addition to the soundtrack
RZA the greatest rap artist and hip hop musician of all times 🙏 (and Rakim the greatest MC)
This song is masterpiece
13 days off fentanyl..This song motivates me
Don’t stop NOW !!!!
Are you still clean? It's been 2 years for me. Keep fighting bro.
In the military, a good homie introduced this song to me. I had it on repeat the first day I heard it. I get Afro Samurai vibes every time.
"Lo que yo he conseguido tu aun debes conseguirlo, no se trata de los años son la forma de vivirlos"
¡ MUELAS DE GALLO !
¿Que?
Barras, barras
Muelaaas muelas
Un clásico
suelto barra tras barra , no voy a darte respiro , se trata de experiencia por eso ganó el tiro , tengo más colmillo que una morsa que es vampiro
Fight Night Round 4 Brought Me Here
Good ole days
Yes those were good days. And then people changed. Maybe for shame or maybe to try to get more game. But its a constant struggle, if you really strive, if you really live liiiive. What it do from here? where go from here? you can't stop my now. Fight for my tribe... It's the Chief
Chief Wax Beats I miss those games
#truth
