2.5 hrs of classic music as they get progressively drunk throughout the whole thing lol. By the end they're just dancing.
spoiler: 2.5 hours and Apollo Kids, the subjectively best Ghostface song, never makes an appearance :(
also spoiler, most of the Wu Tang members make an appearance. Method Man does not show up, though you can see him in the comments, and GZA and U-God are nowhere to be seen. The rest of the members are there, including ODB's son.
I was gonna post the Showtime documentary about Wu Tang too, but it looks like they took it down?? The episodes were available for free on youtube so I was glad I finally got to watch them! But now it looks like theyre behind a paywall again.
I told myself for like a whole year I should sign up for a Showtime trial just to watch the documentary lol, I guess a few weeks ago I got lucky becoz the documentary is quite fantastic. Wu Tang is one of the greatest things about hiphop period, and any celebration of them is worth the attention
@myst400#21732 Love thisāI first saw this video as part of a Spike Jonze music video comp DVD I bought back in collegeā¦I used to watch them all over and over and overā¦remember the time before every music video was on YouTube??
Da Brat! if you wanna talk about good raps, let me tell you about the goodest rap. The best rap, as you may say.
without a doubt, my all time favorite rap song EVER, is a Da Brat song.

that's the dirty version too, something I had NO IDEA existed until like 10 years after the fact. Like it's 2005 and it felt like I had heard my favorite song of all time for the first time all over again! it was CRAZY!!
I found a vinyl copy of this song too while I was in Japan one time lol. It doesnt have an A side and a B side, instead it just has two B sides lol.
speaking of Missy, she's still part of one of the dopest posse cuts I've ever heard

RIP Aaliyah... imagine if this team had made more songs together.
any Your Old Droog fans?? his new album with Tha God Fahim is one of the best this year so far.
posting it tho coz there are even more gaming references in the lyrics!!
Reign Man;
Droog: ādo em like Jake did son in front of Rosario, if anything Iām the evil twin like Warioā
Fahim: ālike Zangief I slam on beatsā
A Long Time Coming;
Droog: āto Kingsborough watching chucks gone plural(?), teaching myself real guitar, you were playing Guitar Heroā
90 From the Line;
Droog: āsee herbs copy my style like we didnāt see shit, video games wasnāt the only 16 bitā ā this one is genuinely clever lol
2020, from Ktown in LA, this guy is my generation. Heās humble and so talented, he doesnāt have to flex it. Just a genius. He works at the same record slurpus my homie goes to buy his records from, including this very album which Iām listening to on vinyl as I write this. My new favorite hip hop album, love this kid.
