It was really because of The Journey of The 1970's and The 80's that These Cats went through.That's where it really came from 4real 4real.The 90's was just The finished result of what came from back then.Example! The Wallabee Clarks was a 70's, and 80's Thing.But Ghost and Them revived alot of Classic Relics from Those Good Ole Day's.
Back then not even MTV could deny pushing the Wu. They were such a powerful movement. Even the hardcore metal fans that despised rap bumped Wu Tang Clan. I remember when the Triumph video debuted I was so hooked. Crazy because the double disc became successful off that one video alone no radio friendly tracks or hit singles. That video promoted that double LP to multiplatinum status and the whole album both discs consisted of nothing but bangas. Wu Tang Forever was proof that you didn't have to go the Diddy route or have radio friendly tracks to sell or earn mainstream status. That all changed after the 90s once the the multi billion dollar record labels bought out the smaller hip hop labels and whichever ones they couldn't buy or wouldn't sell they'd most likely end up running them out financially. R.I.P. Golden era
@@edub9930 ghost tried to manage his diabetes with herbs and alternative medicine for years, but he was sick all the time so I doubt it worked at all. There's a bit written about it in The Tao of Wu
@@edub9930 bro it's eastern medicine, you can find it if you look it up, plus most forms of meditation will help, kundalini yoga is a gd one. One thing though, if your a diabetic who is obese don't rely on natural medicine alone, you need to lose the weight first. I had a friend who was over weight and a diabetic who tried to go the natural route and I watched him deteriorate infront of me and die a slow painful death, literally his organs shutting down one by one. He tried to do it natural but couldn't control his eating and didn't exercise, it's starts with that bro
6:18 look how Rae and Ghost move when they talk. Raes gestures and tone of voice is super grimey, hard, real. They don't make em like these dudes anymore. Maybe its a Staten island thing, or a Wu thing, or a 90s thing...
"My seeds roll with his seeds, marry his seeds, that's how we keep Wu-Tang money all up in the family" Ghostface, on 'Glaciers of Ice', from Raekwon's 'Only Built For Cuban Linx' part 1.
Peace to Joe Clair. When GFK's Ironman hit the planet back in the day, it was like a comet hitting the planet. Ironman is one of the BEST albums that came out the Wu camp, and notice they wasn't stingy with the shine, notice how even back THEN they were biggin' up the next at bat......Sunz Of Man and Killarmy.
Omegah TV The original Sunz of Man album, the one they recorded in 95 and 96 was never released! Fortunately Killarmy legendary album recorded in 95, 96 was released in 97... There will be no more classics like this.... EVER.
JOE MF'ING CLAIR .... Rae with the Bear hat! Had me thinking about my Silver Bear joint. Miss the 90'$ but still keeping it moving .... This was dope. Brings back memories. Peace to the Gods.
That last thing Rae said at the end nobody these days understand this. Everybody so selfish and blind now and it's about "Me". I hold on to all the lessons from the Wu.
When ghostface @ 7:40 whipped out his ironman cd. I pulled mines out from right below too haha. shit is mad nice. crazy how I was probably 6 months old when this interview dropped in like November or early december of 96
That's awesome! A big part of what of what Ghostface is talking about in the beginning is why I named my daughter Shaolin. Ghostface has always been one my favorites, his whole delivery and style is unmatched. Wutang, the original Wu members, can never be replicated or duplicated, fr. We need music like this again. I was 14yrs in '96, nothing like that time in music..sad that's it's the end of an Era, especially how it was growing up in ny, but it's great to go back and reminisce!
I swear majority of rappers from the 80s 90s for the most part were so deep and intellectual in a righteous way you can always learn from the OG rappers from back then.
The dummies don't even see the jewels being dropped in this interview,they definitely wasn't trying to deal with the spiritual science....... 🇲🇦⚔️🇲🇦👳🏾👌🏾
Too bad the 5% is a derivative form of true Islam. Brother Malcolm realised that, and knew that Elija was not a prophet, not to be worshipped.. Since in Islam, only 1 God. Allah. Its also extremely blasphemous to call each other God, since we are the worshippers of God. As Surat Iklhas says : Say: He is Allah, the One and Only; Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him.
@@ka-bapraxis5887 Nah im explaining facts brother. Go do your research. Its not an Arabic religion, if you READ Malcolm X his book or watch his interviews he explains this perfectly. The moment he went to Mecca. Its a religion for all mankind, do you even know how many black, brown, indonesian well all races there are Muslims? Something from God is never for one kind of people, its for all people. Just because hte Quran is in Arabic language doesnt make it an Arabic religion. Its just language. Elijah was not a prophet, he abused the momentum of time where African Americans didnt know about Islam. And black people...they are my brothers. I am from Africa. Peace.
When Ghost was my favorite emcee. I remember seeing this interview when it originally aired on Rap City. Joe Claire & Big Lez held me down during my youth. I'm loyal asf to this era, still. #StudentOfTheWu 👐🏾
Anyone has a link of that interview Joe Clair did with Ghost at the subway station and Ghost was trying to sell him "herbs" throughout the entire interview? I remembered that shit had me rolling
Rap/Hip Hop without the Wu-Tang Clan?? Impossible for me to even imagine let alone picture. Hip Hop with no Wu (legacy and all) is like land with no water. Wu Tang Forever👐
This shit was back in 96. I graduated HS in 96. After seeing the Wu saga and knowing now what I know this interview is ill. Ghost coming out with his album and not to over shine him in any way nobody there except Ray. Mathematics there but we dont know him yet. Papa Wu there holding it down making sure the young boys dont wild out. Is that Divine in the white coat?
@@danielwilson9724 That's the real Papa Wu in the park speaking with the 5% nation IDK if that's what he did back then but that's him on the Hulu series
I know y’all peep how Hov got that “his seeds marry his seeds & marry his seeds, that’s how we keep all dis bread in dis family” bar from Ghostface & he rapped it in one of his tracks too…
I'm glad I was able to enjoy this era evem though i was young but always been around hip hop.....I turned 37 last month and I'm still stuck in the era but can't forget about the new boom bappers in the underground scene.....
Back then when Nas had the chipped tooth and Wu Tang was dangerous Mobb Deep came out in 95 coming hard before g unit and 50 cent Tupac and Biggie was still Alive Jay z dead 💀 president started his career etc.. 90s was pure
Dam RU-vid bring back 90's memories dat u fogot bout n sum u remember...names...sceneries... moments dats classic now etc....RAP CITY MOGULS...CHRIS THOMAS...BIG LES...PRINCE DEJOUR...JOE CLAIR...MAD LINXS...HITTZ...BIG TIGGA...
