D'you wear a black armband when they shot the man Who said peace could last forever? And in my first memories, they shot Kennedy I went numb when I learned to see So I never fell for Vietnam We got the wall in D.C. to remind us all That you can't trust freedom when it's not in your hands When everybody's fightin' for their promised land

I bomb atomically, Socrates' philosophies and hypotheses Can't define how I be dropping these mockeries Lyrically perform armed robbery Flee with the lottery, possibly they spotted me Battle-scarred Shogun, explosion when my pen hits tremendous Ultraviolet shine blind forensics I inspect you through the future see millennium Killa Beez sold fifty gold, sixty platinum Shackling the masses with drastic rap tactics Graphic displays melt the steel like blacksmiths Black Wu jackets, Queen Beez ease the guns in Rumble with patrolmen, tear gas laced the function Heads by the score take flight, incite a war Chicks hit the floor, die hard fans demand more Behold the bold soldier, control the globe slowly Proceeds to blow, swinging swords like Shinobi Stomp grounds and pound footprints in solid rock Wu got it locked, performing live on your hottest block
-"Triumph" - Wu Tang Clan [Inspectah Deck]
The undisputed greatest verse in the history of hip-hop. The density of the wordplay, the internal rhymes, the multisyllabic rhymes, the references to everything from ancient philosophy to vintage video games. It's untouched.

Iconic. Always made it a point to learn the verse and rap along with it every time. You got a favorite Wu member? Mine used to be Deck and Method Mad, but Ghostface became my favorite over time.
An MEP to this entire song is something I envisioned too.

He just had this star quality and endearing humor about him--even when the lyrics were at their most hardcore he always seemed like a real sweetheart. I had plans for a Kung Fu movie MEP set to "Protect Ya Neck" at one point, but I'll never do it now--experience has taught me I'm temperamentally unsuited to running MEPs.

I am definitely following everything in this conversation and I’m definitely not lost at all. I’m down with the Wu’s. The best hippity to ever hop! Know what I mean?
Sounds like AD’s idea would be great for The Essential Kung Fu!

Man, I could see Beej being a big GZA fan. I liked Masta Killa's verse on Triumph but hes never stood out to me anywhere else. Cappadonna too if you include him. Raekwon is the one I'm unsure of, sometimes hes amazing and sometimes I don't get him. Sign me up immediately for a Kung-Fu mep, multiple sections. Got a lot of free time now.

If we get finished on The Stars quickly, we can move to Kung Fu next. Don't want it to be a long drawn out thing though since I've had my heart set on doing "The 90's" soon.
