First Time Hearing C.R.E.A.M. - Wu-Tang Clan | Behind the Beat (Reaction!)

Welcome to BandHouse Poddcast Rock Dudes React!
"C.R.E.A.M." is a song by the Wu-Tang Clan, a legendary hip-hop group from Staten Island, New York. The title is an acronym for "Cash Rules Everything Around Me," which is also the song's chorus.
The lyrics of the song describe the struggles of growing up in poverty and the desire to make money and achieve success. It reflects the harsh realities of life in the inner city and the importance of money in surviving and thriving in that environment.
The beat of "C.R.E.A.M." is a classic example of the gritty, sample-based production style that characterized much of the Wu-Tang Clan's early work. The track features a haunting piano melody, a funky bassline, and sparse, hard-hitting drums.
The song was released as a single in 1994 and was featured on the group's debut album, "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)." It has since become one of the Wu-Tang Clan's most popular and enduring songs, and is widely regarded as a classic of the genre.

As a 45 year old white man who has loved the Wu since I was 15, y’all are the whitest white dudes ever 😅 mad props for expanding your horizons. FYI - Wu are the originators. They come from an era and mindset when biting was the worst thing an MC could do. Anything you’ve heard that sounds like RZA beats or Wu lyrics is biting off them, not the other way around.

Wu Tang clan is a 9 member crew The RZA (who also acts and produced all of their music) is the leader and made the crew from Staten Island. They were heavily influenced by Kung Fu flicks from the 70's. The purpose of the clan was to give all 9 members their own record solo deals. Everyone that you hear now that these guys sound like copied them. Not the other way around

[@soramirez5473]

the first rapper (Raekwon) said "smoking Woos at 16", Woolies (or wu's, woo's) are blunts of weed mixed with coke (or crack), a lot of the. members, including Method Man, had drug problems, including coke, crack and angel dust.. 10 members, one deceased (old dirty bastard), Masta Killa, U-God, Inspectah Deck (my favorite rapper ever) Raekwon, Ghostface Killa, Cappadonna (official member in 2000 something), Method Man, GZA and RZA.. Funny how you called Raekwon an average rapper.. Wu tang is KNOWN for HEAVY vocabulary use and complicated metaphors and simlies as well as crazy slang talk, .... also its funny you said they sounded like OTHER rappers at that time, Wu Tangs whole LEGACY is that they were EXTREMELY DIFFERENT than ALL THE OTHER RAP groups at that time and they actually INFLUENCED many rappers that came AFTER.. this is common knowledge and you can watch numerous documentaries and read countless articles on this FACT.. Method Man is an actor too Wu Tang Clan comes from the groups love of 70s kung fu flicks, they incorporated samples from the movies in their music, hence the being different then everyone else lol... In NYC, Rikers Island has a section for minors, so a 15 year old CAN be in jail, just not the big man jail.. Cess is weed for me.. Yea wu differantiated themselves by incorporating heavy NYC (particularly Staten Island and Brooklyn) slang.. Hearing them was a more GENUINE look into the hood then what OTHER rappers portrayed.. .. .. .. .. .. . lol Old Earth is mother.. like Mother Earth.. Father is the Sun I believe.. gotta think outside the box when listening to the likes of Wu Tang, for sure they are NOT FORE EVERYONE.. a very.. esoteric taste... thats why its MY FAVORITE type of hip hop!.... Wu tang has over a hundred affiliates and most of their songs are hand banging type of songs (check out Protect ya Neck or Mystery of ChessBoxin or 4th Chamber or Wu Gambinoes) and they share a similar fanbase to Insane Clown Posse, have a song with them AND rage against the machine (and did a tour wit them) AND a song with System of the Down.. Their song "triumph" has all the members..

WuTang is heavy with slang. Going as far creating a ton of their own mixing kung fu, mafia and 5percenter references. Woolies were what they called laced blunts. In the early 90s the best Marijuana on the east coast was seedless crops from Mexico marketed as "sin semilla" aka seedless mistranslated on the streets as "sesamiya" later shortened to "Ses" Similarly on the Westcoast whiteboys were growing "hydroponics" mistranslated to "hydrochronic" and later shortened to "the chronic" The "old earth" is another word for mother. Its 5 percenter terminology a nation of Islam type religion that was born in Harlem basically they refer to black men as God's and Black Women as Earths.

[@BandHousePodcast]

thank u 4 knowledge :)

[@clueless3703]

Congrats on the baby🥳. I’ll recommend this one again. I am pretty sure you’ll like the crazyness in old Busta rhymes songs. “(Whoo ha) got you all in check” is so good and “gimme some more” too. And don’t worry about the amount of pauses, the chemistry between yall is good in the pauses. It’s fun.

[@BandHousePodcast]

Ooh we haven't done Busta Rhymes yet! I remember some of his stuff back from highschool :)

[@billbill6094]

Wu Tang is named after the Wudang warriors in the Wudang mountains, kind of a counterpart to the Shaolin warriors from the Shaolin members. They are both often big players and sometimes rivals in old Wuxia movies, Chinese action movies literally meaning "Martial Heroes." They were inspired by Wuxia movies and to a slightly lesser extent Chanbara movies, old Japanese Samurai/Sword action movies. Shaolin irl is where both Gung-Fu (Kung-Fu) and Zen Buddhism were founded. A buddhist monk from India migrated to China and taught the people there his ways, and it invented the Zen sect of the buddhist religion. Gung-Fu was actually invented as a way for the monks to become fit after they noticed hours of meditating left their bodies too weak, which conversely made meditation harder. Hence the invention of Warrior Monks, they were a major player in Chinese wars, nowadays they're still highly political but not nearly as relevant to actual conflicts anymore.

The Art of The Wu-Tang is a karate movie Rza would like to sit and watch. Rza adopted the name because its the Art of The Shaolin. They would go to Rza's house to record music and watch karate movies and that's how that name came about. And Rza's brother Devine had someone draw up the logo and it became what it is.

Is Tom Petty one person?? Or is that a group?? The rapping, oh- I don’t know. Give it the same reverence, respect (research if you’re not sure), that you would to Jimmy Page or perhaps a Santana solo, or Jimmy Hendrix, or better yet, Chuck Barry. Hip hop is about the message. The beat is fundamental, and the lyrics are INSTRUMENTAL. Hip hop deserves the same respect that is given to all of the other genres. Just like rock- hip hop has been bought and sold so many times over that the content has been watered down. The purest, know it when they hear it. Respect the art form- even if you don’t understand it. When you pause, and comment in the middle of an Em-Cees verse, it’s the same as pausing on a guitar solo. There’s emotion involved. Music is way more than what you think you know. Please learn to appreciate lyrics as an instrument. THATS HOW HIP HOP WAS BORN! The govt shut down “extra curriculars” - music programs; therefore, we had to explore new avenues of expression and appreciation, ie; manipulating turntables and records to hear the sounds we desired. Over rhythmic drums and bass loops, guitar solos evolved into raps. Raps then, had to be clever and unique. So on and so on…. Appreciate the art form. If not- fuck off. It’s not for you.

Best raekwon is incarcerated scarfaces. Best method man..well I think you should listen to his first single titled method man.. but first is would be protect your neck which is the first single (the whole origional crew) then.. to really do you up.. the drunken master OLD DIRTY BASTARD brooklyn zoo. Then theres Ghostface killah who's my favorite member.

You guys were terrible
