Wu-Tang Clan - Da Mystery Of Chessboxin' (Official HD Video) 

ROTH WORKS I actually wish that had more sword sounds throughout the song - works so well! Can see why Prodigy sampled it for Breathe.

True man

AMEN!!!!!!!

ROTH WORKS no doubt no doubt

Raekwon ...1:17 " I only been a good (POP!) for a minute though...." Love that shit!

Facts

Lmao with that gin he popularized, he probably could throw hands drunk pretty well too.

hahahha yes

I never thought about it like that but it’s a perfect analogy 😂

@@nicholasfeiock7873 💀

"Rappening is whats happening" is pure genius.

"the law, in order to enter the wu tang..you must bring the old dirty bastard type slang...REPAZENT the gza, Abbott RZA, SHA-QUAN..🗣️📣" 😅😅😅

Cherry bombing shit lol

FRRRRRRR

I can not unhear that now 😂

best reply I've ever seen on you tube, in pieces

Or the morning alarm.

bruh lmao dead your chess club fucken lit

check mate in 3 moves

I can't believe how awesome it is. Its all ODB Style 4 life

Thats his son

@@DonkorKT they dont know

@@DonkorKT no its not

Ronald Kent falseeee

Sounds like a job for maury

Yes, there is not a lot of persons who talk about Masta killa but his verse is hard

Hardest on dis track no doubt

Da whole chessboxin looks like the work of a masta

The first rhyme he ever wrote and it's a classic.

We got an apb on an MC *Killa* Looks like the work of a *Masta* 🔥🔥

Masta Killa literally brought his A-game to this sverse frfr

I was looking for this comment, he’s got the hardest verse on the song no doubt, saved the best for last🔥

Only Bob Marley and Masta Killa have i ever heard using iniquity as a lyric lol

100% agree with you. My favorite rapper in this song. All were great but Master Killah was on a different level

​@@irieite9666💯💯💯💯🤭

top 1 unique flows of all time :)

The best thing is it’s true for almost all of them.

🙏

ODB is a unique flavor in hip hop. Greatest flow is not a way I would describe his style though.

Wutang is real rap

He's a character..He's like something out of a comic book.

As RZA said in the show; "He's that suprise at the bottom of a cracker jack box,"

@@BigDLiquor came to say this

You can teach that shit so original

Hes a mood

is he supposed to be a pawn? explain?

​@@luizsouza2806for how I see it, not at all lol, i think this song is way less deep than what people might think and there's nothing wrong about it. U-god was just rapping about how strong he is and i think that the way he delivers that along with his deep voice and his attitude is a really good way of opening a track like this

@@lonk0420 aren't they supposed to be chess pieces??

UGod kicked it off soon as I heard his voice I got the chills

@@MoonysBasement as a chess game- people r THE PIECES, right??

me

Year is 2024. But we are here in that year because we're legends of music listening...😎

✊🏼

Bro we’ll be there forever

Still in the Shaolin

Well said, son.

ANY MUTHAFUCKIN CONTENDA!!!

only God is eternal.

Michiel vd Vlies except wu tang

Wuhan clan ain’t nothin to f*** with

Not even Wu Tang compares to this! That said, it's unfair to compare everything to this. It's like saying rock music today is trash because there aren't any rock bands today that makes music as good as The Beatles 🤣 I'm actually a fan of Wu Tang, and have a lot of love for them... But I do not think they are among the greatest. Why? They fell off so quickly! They've been releasing new albums every few years for almost three decades. How much of that is memorable? 36 Chambers is among the best of the best, but what about the albums released after that? They've been consistently mediocre. I'm only including group albums here. If we include solo albums, we are no longer talking about them as a group. (That said, I think Ghostface Killah has been extremely consistent with his solo catalogue.)

@@christopher399 yes, it's memorable because we grow up with this, we listened to this hundred and hundred of times, and we look for the shit that we love, new things sometimes are trash, so we come back to this incredible song, album or whatever, is better to listen to this, bsically it remembers the good old days

@@Drakon-sr8yk Trash has always been released. Always will be. There isn't a lack of quality hip hop today though.

@@christopher399 yes, but I mean, "THAT type of shit" like, music today is so trash (sadly) so we get back here because it remembers good moments (for me) and I think that this "type" of Hip-Hop is not what we have today

I wouldn't want to be compared to nobody I rather take originality over that.

He should have gotten his own solo album. He earned it. Every time he shows up his verses were ridiculous.

i agree,now could u explain this video,for me, in the aspect of the chess pieces!

Yo, that's soo true!

Ikr

MASTER OF INTRODUCTION

Ghost....face.....killaaaah... no one could get iller! 👌🏿💯

Right?!

facts nigga

🎯

Naw ODB TOOK IT..SHAME ON YA!!!

Ikr

😭😭 still facts

Respect brother 😆😂. I love people who can listen to other genres man. I'm a hip hop fan at my core but I love rock, pop even some heavy metal. I just love good music in all it's forms

@@jonathanevans8609Hell yeah man

Wu-Tang is for the children. Point blank.

Den den deeeen

@@geromephillips324 Enter the Wu-Tang zone!

GHOSTFACE KILAAAAAAAAAAH

He's a legend 😂😍

Thanks

And method on the hook

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Notice rza not on here

Rza on the beat so its Wu fied..

which chess piece were each one of them

As a weapon artist... I can tell these guys don't actually know how to use nunchucks or wing chun butterfly knives... but yah they do look scary...as any reasonable person from a bad neighborhood tries to look.

@@studytime3461 terrible unneeded comment

​@@studytime3461 had to be THAT guy, huh?

@@gameface187 100%

YNWA!

Real talk, +1

YNWA

+Danny Parry YNWA rodgers out wu tang forever

+Danny Parry 11k follows on twitter tho

He produced kill bill though

Yes he does👐🏿

Your right about that 100%, as a matter of fact there are alot of rappers that i think is underated that has good skill and art that is not being recognized.

Just like Muggs from Cypress hill

@@DMVGREY shut up

how does this relate to chess game

" The game of chess is like a sword fight, you must think fisrt before you move " To me its like the rule of life....

xSlickRick954x frfr Meechy Darko has a rasp but not close

He is Sicx

No father to his style, no son either

here i go, deep type flow

Never 🙌🙌🙌 my favorite Wu member

💯💯

Word is fckin bond...

@@reunionproductions fucking crazy g. Also used on daytona. Skills ahead of the time

@@desperadojoe2249 l

what chess pieces r moving in the video

Word.

U-God always delivers

BG Mike 1337 If you live in the U.S. and you don't know what the Emancipation Proclamation is, I feel sorry for you.The Emancipation Proclamation was an Executive order signed by Abraham Lincoln declaring all Slaves Free.

***** 👍

Yeah for real, still have to check his solo joints. Its mad ghost came from the background to be the top notch rapper in the crew but God didnt get half the shine.

Boogie Baeza l

no wu tang is way better

+Alex Macpherson that's what I said

I meant I agreed with you

never compare NWA and Wutang. I love both, but they each deserve they're own spot. West coast and East Coast are nothing alike, both great in their own ways.

+Franklin Clinton Jedi Mind Tricks, fuck yeh

Play this song with some R Series 12" subwoofer with dual 4-ohm voice people were scared 😱 with the big black truck with the sound lol 😂 Wu tang Wu tang Wu tang

Facts

Bruh I was watching American saga and was like where I hear this beat from. I knew it was legendary 😂😂 rza production really different

same bro. i been at the gym just repeating bars over and over

Same, since M-E-T-H-O-D MAN in 93.

same bro

wheres the chess pieces at?

The truth is he's fucking alive, the other members are dead

Real, he didn't give a fuck, that loose drunken flow is so iconic. Rip big D.

This could be one of the best verse/verse in a Wu-Tang song. ODB absolutely perfects his style right after Raekwon.

Best mc ever😄

Den den den

It's my favorite verse on the whole album, hands down.

AMAZING

Especially with that yelling he did at the beginning to kick it off. Legendary.

@@ProlificPops ....aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh no one could get illa!

That would of made it even better

Wow!!! Great thinking....😃❤

Lol

Queen's Gambit?

becoz Ollie is the OG

Facts

Nah not really lol

It’s true 🤣🤣🤣🤣 illest

Bruh odb come tooo hard on this man 🤣😂

Come in to buy groceries from me. 😁

I guess I have to confess

Of course lol

Hell yeah - basically because it's the only part of his verse that I can understand "And Introducing The Ghost Face KillllllllllllllAaaaaaaaaaaaa ---------------------------------- nobanookanilla........."

try slowing that part up ;) !

^^^^^^^^^Wow - LOL^^^^^^^^

Rappening is what's happening

@@bookswithbenjamin8902 "keep Tha pockets stackinin' hands clapinin', at Tha party when I move my body, gotta get up and beeeeee somebody!"

Right!!!! 💯

EVER!!

@@shuifeng1333 Cherry bombin shit... Boom! Just warmin up a lil bit rhmmhmmg!

Agreed... made you pay more attention to him after that.

R.I.P. ODB!

dankankan : Real Talk 💯 ODB’s energy was so raw 🔥R.I.P. Osirus 🙌🏾

And he graciously introduced Ghostface as well!

@@ShawnThomas78 His verse is probably the only one I can get through without fumbling a little.

Agreed.

Word up.

It's actually hard to believe

Is Das Efx a legend in your book?

It's the first one he wrote that made it on any track. He'd been learning to rhyme hanging out with GZA.

Early 90s was hip-hop at its zenith.

@@MrBronx61 Yeah early to mid 90s was the best era for hiphop in USA and then it started to go wack. I feel though that in europe and else the best era for hiphop was 1995-2000s.

IceveinsProductions FACTS BRUHHH

I think ODB was so overlooked because of his personal issues. For the longest ODB was my favorite Wu member followed by Ghostface

Sorry but no

Dirty was unbelivably good.

You're all wrong. Mastah Killah had the best verse. Fight me. ;D

Just warmin' up a lil bit vroom hum

He a M.C 🎤

My favorite part of the song! Like an Indian chief!!

GOOSEBUMPS 🔥🔥 R.I.P. ASON ✊🏾

Odb baby fae Scotland 🇬🇧 uk

Facts

Rza production made it happen

WORD UP!!! 🙏🏿✨🙏🏿✨🙏🏿✨

This was so different it gets me in my zone when I'm studying.

ABSOLUTELY!!!!💯💯💯💯

Yes

like cocaine straight from Bolivia.

+newgame897 🙏🙌

and uncut

+Charlie Wang u watch jk?

this video was supposed to be a human chess game??

@@luizsouza2806Yes

You know what will be a dream song is if you put ODB, Mystikal, and Dmx Together.

@Kidd Pirates One Piece Reviews nah none of that aids shit eazy...

@The Guru Of Anime & Manga Odb and queen latifah?

Odb is like flavour flav of p e he was great

😂😂😂 FAX!!!

Can u explain that verse

@@frankocean6676 The caucaus mountains are the reason "caucasians" are called that way. So the verse is referring to white people.

@@fernandoizu quarter century later and I'm still learning and uncovering new layers to the wu shit

g you mean Appalachia?

my hip hop will rock and shock the nation, like the emancipation proclamation. words from da 4 bar killa. y’all sleep on him for real.

Enter the dragon

That’s exactly who the old dirty bastard is 😭 He got his name from the kung fu movies, the man with no father to his style

ODB was crazy with his flow and could hang with anyone on the mic as big daddy kane. ODB was no joke as a MC at that time in 1995.

@@lauraalexander8144 where r the chess pieces??

Suuuuuuuu yeah boyeeeeeerr he a goooow

It’s cool but it’s not one of the best

Mr. Minero Facts...they’re all spittin dartz but it’s evident that Ghost 👻 took this shit hands down!!!

It’s crazy how RZA tried hard to get Ghost to spit with them, and Ghost ended up being the MOST predominate consist member Wu

I agree hands down he def had best verse on dis

"it's the master of the mantis rapture comin at ya" one of the best lines

can you explain this video, for me, meaning as a chess game???

can u explain the video to me

Yessir!

Not by me

The dumb are mostly intrigued by the drums...

Incredibly so, sometimes i forward through songs just to hear him spit

They did a small documentary on showtime or HBO yrs ago sitting in a movie theater, and all of them said whenever inspectah deck would spit his verse 1st, it made them write their shit over.

True

He underrated

facts!!

facts!!

Oct 2023 til infinity

Catchy hooks and beats though.

great beat tho

Their beats are 100% on point particularly on enter the 36 chambers

LOL No fancy beats? they have a catalog of creative beats, AND catchy hooks.

Captain Deadpool ~ I think that he meant there's none of that 'over-produced' bullshit they try to pass off as Hip Hop today.

The ODB was just so off beat and odd so he's my favorite

GhostFace Killah

michael truthson his energy made his line most memorable even thou he not the most lyrical. Pulled the same gift on ghetto superstar and mariah carey song Dirt McGirt 💯

Rebel INS and GZA

Method man and ODB. I dont feel guilty either.

Jst checkin in myself

My weekly check in. Gets better every time

WU-TANG CLAN IS FOREVER

Ol dirty got off...i always come back to this and protect ya neck

Timeless masterpiece.

Coast Contra you'll thank me later 👊🏻

I'm still bumping this track love all the 90s hip hop better than this crap now days

I'm coming from the world of old school punk, trash and death metal but I fucking love Wu-Tang! 🤘

For Lifetime

On vinyl like a boss

@@hendrickson12352 Like a boss indeed. hats off to you sir!

B R I T

Shimmy Shimmy Ya

Because it's fucking ODB. No further explanation is needed

Scott G. Yo honestly. Like how can you not like that man. Lmao

Masta Killa definitely had the best verse, but ODB's was dope too.

I like his verse the least amount tbh

doZen when he started singing I lost it..glorious

Here i go....deep type flow..Jacques Cousteau could never get this low!

Oh yeah

doZen old dirty bastard was the leader and was on another level to rest of his crew RIP ODB

Facts

TRUTH...it just is 💚

this video was supposed to be a human chess game,am i right?

Did the same thing when Blackmon came it with two turntables and a mic

Word

how does the pieces move in the video

Yes

@@bdeoliln4379 what I mean is, each Wu Tang members which chess pieces r each n every one of em??

It's truly one of the best verses in hip hop's history

100% true

i dont understand this video

@@luizsouza2806 ....it's a rap song, what's to understand? You are not following the plot line to Memento or Tenet here.

@@beloved-child what do u mean by that?

I always wondered how does the Wu Tang members as chess pieces

@Luiz Souza it's music, you don't understand the lyrics? The video is just art complimenting the music. Nothing to "get". Watch Busta Rhymes music videos? Totally insane and nonsensical, but there isn't anything to get.

I bought this the day it came out and listen regular but today I been feeling Odb's verse on this track, he was so underrated, there was no father to his style

Like all rap like all old school rap like all hip-hop like all 90s💯

Peter Vang one of the hardest things in this song, it should have been part of the chorus.

Facts 💯💯💯💯💯
