who is "mom dukes"?
I read an interview with Meth around the release of Tical where he explained the origin of "tical" itself. Can't remember how it worked but it was like he took some slang word they'd invented in the first place, then put it through something like three more changes over time. Wish I could remember the detail, but my enduring memory was just being completely baffled at how impossible it would be to figure it out from anything but context...the Wu practically has their own separate dialect.
just means mum.
swallow this murder one verse like god degree
God Degree is 7, meaning it's truth.
Murder One verse signifying both seriousness and gravity.
Swallow meaning listen.
Translation: "Listen to what I have to say, 'cause it's real and you need to hear it."
... I should really sue my father for raising me on Wu-Tang records...
you reckon? i always though mom dukes was the american system/way of life.
I think you should write a book, that's a great breakdown
the best wu lyrics to fox people would be stuff like old sunz of man and killa army. i dont think think they even had any idea what they were talking about.
dont think so. theres that old nas line about 'i shot my way out my ma dukes'.
Sunz Of Man sort of peaked after their 1st single. As an album, it didn't work for me... Killa Army, there, you have like, no rappers of note, but 4th Disciple is an amazing producer... Perhaps even better than Rza! I remember Kanye once actually checking a journalist in an interview saying, "Rza didn't invent the sped up soul samples... That was 4th Disciple".
