Our FIRST time listening to Wu-Tang Clan - C.R.E.A.M. (Official Music Video)

[@mariaprado391]

Wu Tang is HIGHLY dense n layered language. You gotta catch it, think about it, listen again... these folks are what we call wordsmiths

[@laceybko]

The Wu was a crew of lyrical assassins. Literally! 💯✔

[@jedwing]

Facts. And man this record is like 26 years old! Damn

[@Illiyinmusic]

Theyre straight up not dense you're just dumb

[@Ionicblood666]

Nah that's our current education system at work.

[@punkrockwithbubbles1041]

Staten Island

[@haroldgonzalez2681]

He literally says it in the very beginning: “I grew up on the crime side, the NEW YORK times side”

[@AGD_27]

They didn't catch what cream meant so they clearly aren't used to paying attention to lyrics.

[@DTXGoody]

@@AGD_27 fir real i dont get it. Just listen. Shit just goes over they head🤣

I didn’t want to say it…glad I seen your comment 😂

They are from Staten Island. They’re rap is story telling, usually with a solid message.

[@nickcojocar3298]

RZA and (my favorite wu member) ODB were from Brooklyn

[@nickcojocar3298]

And the GZA

[@missgmoma]

@@nickcojocar3298 Hi, yes thanks for pointing that out. I meant they were formed in Staten Island but you are correct. I always thought that RZA & Ol dirty Bastard were basically the leaders of the group but all were awesome in their own way. ✌🏻

[@missgmoma]

@@nickcojocar3298 good choice 👍🏻

[@missgmoma]

@MattSm00th Hi, yes I think it’s fair to say they all had their own distinctive style & awesome in their own lane ✌🏻

[@brisetta]

I cant imagine being young enough to not know about wu-tang! They are amazing, lyrical geniuses, always a good message in their music. Really loving these reactions! Hugs from Toronto ! Edit: just want to say, how sad is humanity that we havent overcome these problems in all the years since they made this track?

[@jgarcia4721]

A lot of people know the name but not the songs

[@rebeccalyn3208]

Brisette- it's too sad. Pathetic actually. I'm with you on Wu-Tang's lyrics and overall message. They're artists who I've carried with me since childhood. Love from Pgh pa

[@mrhammyhamilton1]

right??? It's so weird hearing these guys talk about Wu Tang and not knowing who they are hahaha

[@Illiyinmusic]

I'm 29 my gf is 21. We were heading to a concert in VT. She asked me you know the wu? Like girl I ordered their albums from a catalog in the mail. It blows my mind people don't know them rza Ghostface all them its crazy. Idk man I'm not having kids or Ima educate if happens

You need to listen to more Wu-Tang !! CREAM stands for cash rules everything around me. I love Method Man , there’s so many great ones.

[@EricEustace]

One of the greatest hip hop groups of all time! 9 members. Check out "protect your neck" or "T.e.a.r.s" .. Their debut "enter the wu tang" is a classic.

All your questions are answered in the song. The song illustrates the dynamics of their rise. With sensitive respect... utilize the internet for research & do not rely on one source or the unqualified word of mouth. To gain knowledge it requires reading articles about music, the climate of culture, in this case the 90’s, and singers personal and musical history. Learn about the cities and states in relation to an artist or genre. This will give you the full experience next time you listen to another song. It is unwise to rely or expect to really L.E.A.R.N. based on asking one’s audience to do the educating. Back in the day we read a lot more by today’s standards. There were magazines, interviews, short documentaries and going to concerts. We’d blaze-up & scrutinized with fierce attention for the moral/s in a song. We didn’t just consume music for ex. like a televised sport. We did not haplessly depend on each to understand. As an ardent subscriber, to your channel, and a hip-hop/Rap O.G. I strongly encourage you take on this endeavor. I enjoy your reactions and luv that you share it with us all. It’s commands respect. Thank you and stay blessed my brothers. Cali vibes your way XOXO‼️#FightThePower

[@JohnWick-gl6mw]

I pray they listen to you King but I doubt they'll follow the Jewells being givin . Without research of your subject , you'll come off as incredibly ignorant and clueless . Not a good look . Step up or get left in the dust ....

[@ABConvosWrestlingEdition]

Listen to Method Man and Mary J Blige "Your All I Need" please and thank you

2nd that! Tune and a half! 👌👌

[@KR-vk2wx]

He didn’t know what C.R.E.A.M. meant. He said that he listened and finally figured it out. That was the problem, he listened but didn’t hear the message.

[@BusterBossJR]

Basically all the old school rappers are either from Cali or NY. Except Em, Outkast and a few southern ones. But the earlier ones were from NY or Cali.

[@debbieturner2346]

They were from Staten Island New York, I believe.

[@Dyrtbag68]

When "the young black youth" don't know about the WU-TANG, WU-TANG....you know you getting old.

[@oneforallallforone1821]

Fun Fact: 36 chambers is from Shaw Brothers Company Hong Kong movie. 36 chambers is the Shaolin monks. It's an old movie. I think it's in 70's-80's or something. And you know what, it's a very great movie. I think they have an inspiration from martial arts movie. sorry, my English is bad. Hope you guys understand what I've said.

An all-time favorite right here. This comes from the times when the "I'm cool, I go to school. I'm a lyrical miracle." type of rap was still going strong, so these guys did a lot for hip-hop when this started playing on the radio. The first time I ever enjoyed rap was when this came out.

[@ryanrice4398]

and its started out 9 members but then it went to 11 but all together it was over 300 of them but truly its way over 1,000 of them.

Damn son the fact that they didn’t know where they were from and son said Chicago shows you how far removed we are from when we (nyc) dominated hip hop. Shits wild. You can hear them and hear that they’re from nyc off of accent, production, scenery, slang, bar structure all that. Chicago not on that level then or now respectfully. Also life was hard back then in nyc. Nothing like Chicago then or now. Much rougher although Chicago has been bad too just apples and oranges back then

[@vadimslarionovs5422]

Yeah bones can be dice.... but smoking' a bone can either be a stogey (cigarette) or a marijuana blunt that's been laced with crack after u crush the solid rocks into a powder in a dollar bill. That's where Raekeon's verse comes from "for cracks & weed, the combination made my eyes bleed". As teenagers in the height of the crack era many of us in the Five Boroughs got caught up in that madness.
