2998540, Raekwon on "Box In Hand" appreciation
Posted by 81 DUN, Sat Dec-02-17 08:19 PM
His delivery on that verse is unique as hell imo. He like stops or pauses during a crazy verse, then picks it back up. Another crazy thing is Ghost best on that song but Rae add so much to it.

2998554, the one on Ironman or the OG version?

2998613, That's what I'm wondering

For me that's Method Man's song. He bodied that joint (on the album).
Rae set it off nice for sure but man Meth showed his ass on that song. That's an example of why he's my favorite.

2998632, Everybody killed it but imo Meth comes in 3rd place.

1st Ghost
2nd Rae
3rd Meth

2998875, Yeah, Meth killed it with his verse

One of my favorite joints on that album, and from the Wu as a whole
|
2998616, Has to be the album version.

Raekwon isn't on the original.

2998618, SHIT. you're right!

2998628, It’s album cuts like these
Posted by 201cue, Mon Dec-04-17 06:32 PM
that make Ironman such a classic.
|
2998635, and Fish back to back? sheesh!
Posted by High Society, Mon Dec-04-17 08:15 PM
then you've got Assassination Day which doesn't have Ghost on it.
(A Wu specialty I enjoy... Ghost's Wisdom Body being one of my fav joints)
Faster Blade... Rae solo returning the favor.
incredible album. Top 5 Wu solo for me. Maybe top 3.
|
2998668, Fish is one of my all time favorite Wu songs

2998762, Ironman is my favorite Ghost album
Posted by 13Rose, Wed Dec-06-17 08:01 PM
It's filled with so many great records. Supreme Clientele might be better but Ironman is my favorite.
|
2998683, cant forget Iron Maiden
Posted by melmag, Tue Dec-05-17 10:51 PM
arguably the best album starter ever!!
|
2998698, Word. I think the closers are really slept on too
Posted by 201cue, Wed Dec-06-17 09:46 AM
Soul Controller and Marvel close the album out is such heady and cinematic way. I feel the same way about North Star on the purple tape.

If I'm not mistaken Soul Controller was the closer on some initial versions.. maybe cut because of sample issues? I got mine years later with no Soul Controller and just Marvel as the end, which imo is kind of anti-climactic. Soul Controller is that reflective dope shit, esp with the Carlito's Way & Usual Suspects samples
