Raekwon - Incarcerated Scarfaces (Instrumental) [Track 4] 

When RZA plays this during the beat battle against Premier 🔥🔥🔥

MC's from this era are like the Jedi from Star Wars. Not many exist bust when you battle one you will know what one is for sure.. Todays's MC's are different but the information age and mass exposure (youTube) can give a false sense of confidence and talent. The stage, the road, under ground clubs and MC battles out of the blue will always be the building blocks and proving ground for an MC...

One of my favourite hip hop tracks of all time. Classic. Peace to da chef and da Wu family

one of the dopest beats ever. cats would be bumpin this up the block all the time.

One of the hardest beats in Hip Hop.

Every beat produced in the last 5 years is murdered by this...its not even close. "Why they tryna change hip hop into technotronics? Don't go against the grain" - RZA the abbot

that intro... ooh that intro... ooh, oh, ohhhh that intro. and then when you're in a trance, that beat drops... oooooh, oooh oooh that beat. The combination makes me dizzy everytime.

ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS/BEAT OF ALL TIME BY TWO OF THE GREATEST 🔥🔥🐐🐐

One of the illest rza beat ever

When I was a kid, this was one of the Wu beats I didn't understand the appeal of. Now I zone out whenever I hear it. Its beautiful.

"We're not supposed to trust anyone in our profession anyway" (🎵Bleeeewn🎶 beat comes in🔥🔥🔥) 0:26

Purple Tape = best rap album eve. beats is sic verses is murda.

the late 2010s trend of stripped-down trap beats (e.g. Bank Account) have a lot in common with this beat. Big drums, melodic elements hard but simpler and quieter to place more emphasis on the rapper.

Charlie Baltimore & Camron killed this in "Undertainment" freestyle.

This was the start of the Wu Mafioso Movement when this came out!!! 1995!!!!!

Still freestyling to this by myself in 2024! 🔥🔥🔥

Meek freestyle brought me here 🔥

Lol so simple but I love the little 4 piano notes 😂

This whole Album is a Classic!!

This beat, The Light, and Momma Said are the only ones who used this drum pattern to it's fullest potential

One of Wu Tangs Hardest Beats

"Politic ditto!"

raekwon ft.ghostface_killah_criminology (acapella) THAT ON BACKGROUND DUDE i love banging quick mixes like that lmao

This track is still fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥til this day especially for free styling

"Knock nggz out the box all the time!"

the drumss GO HARD!!! nonsense likey :)

yo thanx for posting the instrumentals from this album start 2 finish. great job. dont listen 2 haters. im gunna write 2 like 4 of these beats

God bless the child that holds his own i splash the microphone Baritone leave your crown leaking like lather foam In this savage realm i bring it in I sing the Hymn Sippin Gin with sinful grin till I pull the pin I Slam Lord And Master distort the rapture No signs of laughter its the writings in the chapter

He's not hating, he's encouraging people to emcee the right way: ON THE MIC. Lol. No real emcee cares about lyrics alone, it's the personality and flow you bring to them that makes it mean anything.

This shit right Here made you knot ya boot laces, Got ya suitcases. Starting tripping, bitching and showing your true faces. Always Mad at me cause I'm occupying two places Two different courts, when I only lost a few cases Getting off easy on some "who you knew, basis" And as soon as I got out, i slid thru to the bases. Where my dude ez was cooking a few basses. That sugar sweet white and all the ice that he laces.

made a song to this, this beat is a classic

There’s some greats and I know this one may not be considered amongst them but this one ☝️ is up there

for An' extended minute I study-ied the instrumentals In artistry on this album my self, it's truly art, real music, in this era this album Only built 4 cuban link was the first to use live instruments. Qou.: Of Honestmen's Mngmt's.: Street's-Teem. Kingdom Builders/W.T.-K.B.'z. Associ.: W.T.C.-Mngmt.

instrumental that defined an era

Para mi esta es la mejor base del album

sick and twisted, tricks and switchblades, unrelated always trapped in a cage by my maniacal rage, youre the opening act and i own the stage, i spit louder than the roar of a twelve gauge, its time to turn over a new page, my imagery is more explosive than Nas's similies, similarly our lyrics are corrosive, ionic bonds, created in swimming ponds of my minds creativity, everything i spit i spit realistically

Now I can see them.

Damn this so project!!!

Back to the future lord

Beat is tough 😮

Thank you I have a dream I can make music without being violent

🔥🌊🐬💦💧 FIRE 🔥🐬WATER! CLASSIC!

Yo im relentless, I wear perseverance as a necklace, cuz I cant ever stop until I mark it off my checklist, im right handed but I can still hit you with my left fist, grew up in the hood stacking bricks up like its tetris, never went to school so I failed all my lectures, not cuz a lack a knowledge but a lack of presence, hope you get the message?, i aint stupid, that aint my profession, but im known to keep niggas guessing, we gotta problem? Smith & Wesson, the problem solver known for addressing, known for teaching lessons, known for causing stressing, hollow points will leave you resting, and have ya family all dressing for ya due date, this aint the time for confessions cuz its too late,

@Nastynasnas373 u know whats up...this is one of the illest beats in existance!

ayo I was kid way back in 95 now dude is a man gettin it in fam all the way live ayo theres no way u can survive, copywriting a man's swagger the reason and matter the economy died. wait. no apologies imma polish em with the spit shine niggas get in all kind of beef then save it to a disk's drive.. what happend to when niqqas had drive, we're in lost time you can floss fine on mine i'll spit raw the most bite it'll cost ur jawline

for sure man ahaha, I'm all for that idea, and I definitely have an entrepreneurial approach to all of this, which is what led me to produce and engineer all of my own music and create a collective/indie label. With all that being said I'm down to work with you on your movement. It's all about networking these days.

It's not a matter of me trying to make hip hop my own, it's a matter of other people trying to take something that's not THEIRs and make it THEIR own. That's what I want to prevent. The things i'm talkin about aren't just my opinions about what to do in hip hop. They're FUNDAMENTALS.

Meek mill and Rick Ross just used the drums on Kobe and Shaq. Hip Hop heads know and I said it first 💯💯💯💯

Yeah...hold on, let's get this shit, let's get this shit, let's get this shit...Top of the morning, Top of the morning, Top of the morning,Top of the morning, Top of the morning, Top of the morning,Top of the morning...

bless to mannaseh I guess ya didn't see that comin,100 miles and runnin,I tell em straight up,I want the come up,I hold ground in any town,bass heads kno me 4 the pounds kilos from puerto Rico compare dey ,so wut u wanna say,Jewry dripping like some ice cream data the basics,word up peace to incarcerated scarfaces

RZA is a motherfuckin genius 🔥🔥🔥

Pure rap bro

Rae's trademark joint... This shit right here is just pure hip-hop adrenaline!!! Ain't too many better blends of lyrics over beats, but word up yall.. you ain't heard shit till you hear DJ Cash Money freak this shit on the Guess Who's Comin' To Dinner banger!...STR8 SICKNESS!! (shots 2 philly)

Wang dang doodle - Koko taylor (1969)

you're right that the industry is a big issue, and I address that issue to often, even though I like some mainstream artists. there's some good and bad to say about them for sure, and I'd address that anytime. You're right though that i guess it shouldnt be as big an issue as i'm making it that people type up a few bars on the internet. I just like to promote the right idea, but maybe I'm a bit too harsh.

much loove for this track

U might not have said that, but taking these internet rappers seriously is the same thing to me. Aside from that though, like i tried to explain before, there's a difference between close-mindedness and trying to preserve the culture. Right now people are turning hip hop into something it's NOT. People can express themselves as artists as much as they want that's fine, but we gotta keep the ESSENCE of hip hop.

real katz know Jr killed this beat

Hard beat no bullshit

I rock the mic, like state property, Yall probably ain't rocking with me, I kill beats, similiar to Gretzy, Wayne, i came to bring the pain, No names remains, Of those, who fell victim to the games, I tagged rest in peaces, check the classical thesis, Pick the pieces, Where i left off, yo they im common, Cus i talk too much sense, I keep critics, leaning, Like elbows on a fence, Make a house wife, a bed wench, Check the flavors, that quench, In ya eardrums, halves only catch, The conundrum, And not vibin off of the drums, Follow the beat, thay swallows you, Soul placed in a sound bowl, Oops, I mean soundful, Drownful, From cosmic melodies, Brace these lyrical felonies, Shout out Beverly, dodged the hills, I rather sit back and chill, With my homies on the block, we keep it locked, Twenty four money clock, Yo the ticks never stop,

2021 crew!

RZA brought me here!

Meek flamed this

Feelin it!

King RZAsharp on the boards

This is a good video foreal.''Raekwon''.''Wu-Tang Clan''.

RAEkwon

i love this instrumental

" Yall Bellies Are Empty, Like The Crack Deal, Yo Bitch Sent Me "

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Today we know that name dropping Trump is not that cool but the track is still a classic!!!

those core principles are all im talking about. I don't know where you got this impression that i only like certain types of or certain time periods in hip hop, because that's far from true. I listen to everybody from Wayne to DOOM, Jay-Z, Rakim, Nas, 2chainz and Rick ross. I love all of it. But at the end of the day, they all USE the mic. They don't just have lyrics, they have delivery and flow. That is emceeing.

yo yo what up yo time is runnin out...

@thatbboyrandom1 thats dope... props

and finally 3) sure there is not one way to live, but we must be conservative of some things in order to keep hip hop as its own entity. There are certain things that are fundamental to hip hop. To regard someone as an emcee if they just type up bars on the internet is just fundamentally wrong with respect to what hip hop is as a culture.

HIP HOP N THE FLESH...N I JUST MURDERED THIS SHIT TOO......CROOK SEASON

Peace to lockdown

I just BODIED this shit and its already up on my page..

Madchild killed this shit!

@romainelettuce2 Actually it isn't it's from the released instrumentals. Notice how at 1:48 half of the sample doesn't repeat. and at 2:36 there the high pitch noise that caries out longer as well as the added piano in the background after 4:11 and the extra bass bumps at 4:43. It just seems like a loop because there isn't a lot of variation in the beat.

👐🏿

Freestyle somerhingggg

TELL EM!!

the picture is the cover of that cd lol

@romainelettuce2 are you serious? i respect your opinion but i usually need to listen to something 20-30 times before i can judge it correctly. i've heard this hundreds of times and its one of the illest beats ever in my opinion. yes its simple but its extremely dope. the eery feeling that the main sample, with those sick snares, so mesmerizing

@exkimo64 it dosnt really matter cuz its still a good beat. atleast its not like a shitty sounding loop from the end of the song that jumps off tempo every 20 seconds

I Be Massaging brought me here...

being experimental is not the issue lol. Hip hop HAS changed a lot over time, and I'm all for experimentation trust me. If you go to my channel you'll hear some very experimental hip hop music. But it's STILL HIP HOP.

It sounds like the drummer is about to go home and bludgeon his abusive dad.

Nas just have a track rhytm like that.

haha agreed fam. Check your inbox

@romainelettuce2 how did you end up in here fool?... just like the rest of us, lol, no need to wonder why bro,

I bodied this shit - ima drop my version this week - #PAiN-

!

i aint heard talent since

Probably because its a classic RZA beat lol smdh. That shouldn't even be a question.

Separation done by different frequencies?

Whose here from Denzel Curry bodying the Westwood freestyle ?

another example: Let's say a pop singer said "I'm gonna make an unpopular pop song". Sure they can make an unpopular song if they want, and sure they might be doing their own thing, but its NOT A POP SONG ANYMORE lmao. That's my point. Fundamentals.

@romainelettuce2 why you gotta be a hater, just listen to it
