Wu-Tang Confirms RZA's Warning, The Legendary Grandmaster Flash to Ink Memoir, Preps Album

| 66 Comments

Melancholy, early 90s, gutter, classic-style, genius. But if Hot 9-7 don't give it enough spins, then don't expect them to make a comeback.

Oh yeah. And
RZA warned you.
_______________________________________________________________________________


For all you DJs out there that don't know, this guy invented the double-back, back-door, back-spin, and phasing, known collectively as the "Quick Mix Theory," which, in short, is a fancy way to say "make the vinyl itself create it's own beat" (one of the functions, at least). These methods led to cutting, which introduced scratching and other techniques.

FLASH.jpg

And now, that kid spinning on the 1s and 2s in the classic hip-hop film "Wildstyle," known to most as Grandmaster Flash and the head of his 1970s (and '80s) group The Furious Five, is currently in the midst of inking his memoir. Coming up in The South Bronx's Cypress Ave in the 70s and 80s translates into a retro of horror-- everything from living in what appeared to be a burned-out, third world country, to being apart of a city-wide crack and smack epidemic, and most importantly, being one of the pioneers of the 1973 movement later dubbed "hip-hop" by Lovebug Starski.

David Ritz, who wrote both Ray Charles' and Marvin Gaye's memoirs, will be the man inking Flash's life story.

In addition to the memoir, Flash is in the studio working on his album, entitled The Bridge, which will be released next year via his very own Adrenaline Entertainment. Although it is not clear as to what kind of material will be on the album-- whether that be a compilation, a series of exclusive cut and mixes, or whatever-- it has been said that the album will be a futuristic take on hip-hop. Which tells us absolutely nothing.

I'll be looking forward to that book.

luv the nu wu tang joint str8 fire!!!cant wait for there album....thats the kinda shit ive been waiting for...peace

Yes my looooord !! Wu Wu Zoooooooooooo!!! luvin the joint Rt8 gutter bring it home rza.

Leave it to the Wu to come with that straight 94-94 shit.

Word.

That shit do sound like some old 94 WU shit. From the beat to the shitty sound quality of the studio microphone to the lyrics. With that said, this song will be heard on the radio, but it will only be played when they have a dj mixing at the radio station. And none of those radio stations will be in the south, unless Wu-Tang has a gay ass dance to go along with this song

wont make it for todays market but i felt like i was back on the block for 3mins :)

This is going to be the album of year to get.....true lyrics at its finest!

This Wu Tang joint is STR8 FIRE!!!!

All U ringtone rappers better take heed, the Gods is back with that REAL HIP HOP!!!!!

@ Eddy G.

SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. Don't ask me shit about the Bears!

I like this song below better than I like that new Wu-Tang!


Chorus
We are the Bears' Shufflin' Crew
Shufflin' on down, doin' it for you
We're so bad, we know we're good
Blowin' your mind, like we knew we would
You know we're just struttin' for fun
Struttin' our stuff for everyone
We're not here to start no trouble
We're just here to do the Super Bowl Shuffle

Walter Payton
Well, they call me Sweetness, and I like to dance
Runnin' the ball, is like makin' romance
We've had the goal since training camp
To give Chicago a Super Bowl Champ
And we're not doin' this because we're greedy
The Bears are doin' it to feed the needy
We didn't come here looking for trouble
We just came here to do the Super Bowl Shuffle

Willie Gault
This is Speedy Willie, and I'm world class
I like runnin', but I love to get the pass
I practice all day, and dance all night
I got to get ready for the Sunday fight
Now, I'm as smooth as a chocolate swirl
I dance a little funky, so watch me girl
There's no one here that does it like me
My Super Bowl Shuffle will set you free

Mike Singletary
I'm Samurai Mike; I stop' em cold
Part of the defense, big and bold
I've been jammin' for quite a while
Doin' what's right, and settin' the style
Give me a chance, I'll rock you good
Nobody messin' in my neighborhood
I didn't come here lookin' for trouble
I just came to do the Super Bowl Shuffle

Repeat Chorus

Jim McMahon
I'm The Punky QB, known as McMahon
When I hit the turf, I've got no plan
I just throw my body all over the field
I can't dance, but I can throw the feel
I motivate the cats, I like to tease
I play so cool, I aim to please
That's why you all got here on the double
To catch me doin' the Super Bowl Shuffle

Otis Wilson
I'm Mama's Boy Otis, one of a kind
The ladies all love me for my body and my mind
I'm as slick on the floor as I can be
But ain't no sucker gonna get past me
Some guys are jealous of my style and class
That's why some end up on their (whistle)
I didn't come here lookin' for trouble
I just came down to do the Super Bowl Shuffle

Steve Fuller
They say Jimbo is our man
If Jimmy can't do it, I sure can
This is Steve, and it's no wonder
I run like lightnin', pass like thunder
So bring on Atlanta, bring on Dallas
This is for Mike, and Papa Bear Halas
I'm not here to feather his ruffle
I just came here to do the Super Bowl Shuffle

Mike Richardson
I'm L.A.

Mike, and I play it cool
They don't sneak by me, 'cause I'm no fool
I fly on the field and get on down
Everybody knows I don't mess around
I can break 'em, shake 'em, any time of day
I like to steal it, and make 'em pay
Please don't try to beat my hustle
'Cause I'm just here to do the Super Bowl Shuffle
Repeat Chorus

Richard Dent
The Sackman's comin', I'm your man Dent
If the Quarterback's slow, he's gonna get bent
We stop the run, we stop the pass
I like to dump guys on their (whistle)
We love to play for the world's best fans
You better start makin' your Super Bowl plans
But don't get ready, or go to any trouble
Unless you practice the Super Bowl Shuffle

Gary Fencik
It's Gary here, and I'm Mr. Clean
They call me "Hit Man"; don't know what they mean
They throw it long, and watch me run
I'm on my man, one-on-one
Buddy's guys cover it down to the bone
That's why they call us "The 46 Zone"
Come on, everybody, let's scream and yell
We're goin' to do the Shuffle, then ring your bell

William Perry
You're lookin' at the Fridge; I'm the rookie
I may be large, but I'm no dumb cookie
You've seen me hit, you've seen me run
When I kick and pass, we'll have more fun
I can dance, you will see
The others, they all learn from me
I didn't come here lookin' for trouble
I just came here to do the Super Bowl Shuffle

Repeat Chorus

DEEZ NUTTZ!

Why do YA'LL DO THAT??!! For real. Stop playing pretend. Be yourself people...good Lord. I been done addressin them by name, so you gotta catch up with me phoney.

I don't even watch football...or didn't last year. I am gettin into it this year though. I'ma big basketball fan.

I plan on keepin up with them Cowboys, Patriots and maybe a lil bit of Bears though this year.


Aight...I'm out for a few. Till then, read a couple Old Testament prophecies regarding Jesus Christ's crucifixion. It was written long before.
The prophet Daniel predicted it TO THE DAY.


Isaiah 53: 7 He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.

8 By oppression [a] and judgment he was taken away.
And who can speak of his descendants?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
for the transgression of my people he was stricken. [b]

9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in his mouth.


Daniel 9:26
After the sixty-two 'sevens,' the Anointed One will be cut off and will have nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed.

He did it for YOU!

CHRIST BLESS!

That new CD "Andrew" of yours is fire! I going to buy 2 copies and the bootleg tomorrow, son! My favorite song off your CD is "Can't tell me nothing"


I had a dream I can buy my way to heaven
When I awoke, my priest gave me a pearl necklace.
I told God I'd be back in a second,
So I stanned and talked shit to reckless.
To whom much is given much is tested.
My cd Andrew will be out on September 11th
I feel the pressure, all in my booty b
And What I do? Yelled out "GIVE IT 2 ME".
I bought Godstock to the Community
and what happened - people started booing me
The drama, people stannin me,
I'm on myspace. taking pics in my iron on tee.
I'm just saying how I feel man,
It's Christ Bless one minute next it's the Stan man
I guess the Lord should've changed him,
I guess I should've forgot where I came From.

La, la, la, la wait till I get my money right
la, la, la, la then you cant tell me nothing right
Excuse Me, is you saying something?
Uh, uh, you can't tell me nothing
(Haha) you cant tell me nothing
Uh, uh, you cant tell me nothing

Most bitches in church is whores
This is my life homey, but I hope Christ Bless yours
I know Jesus was a moor
But I still will raped an alter boy on the floor.
So I parallel parked my daughter's bike sideways
I lied by saying I was a thug back in my day
But homey I hope you know that I'm gay
I PMS all the time, oh am I late?
You know I already masturbated
And the Lord died for out sins, oh well at least Magic made it.
They say I talk with so much emphasis,
OOOO I'm so Sen-Sa-Tive.
I swim in a lil boys butt like Auqa Man
After I'm done and say a prayer and then start apologing.
Let me know if it's a problem man,
Alright man, holla then.

La, la, la, la wait till I get my money right
la, la, la, la then you cant tell me nothing right
Excuse Me, is you saying something?
Uh, uh, you can't tell me nothing
(Haha) you cant tell me nothing
Uh, uh, you cant tell me nothing

When it comes crashing down, and it hurts inside,
ya' gotta take a stand, it don't help to hide,
Well, you hurt my friends, and you hurt my pride,
I gotta be a man; I can't let it slide,
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!

I feel strong about right and wrong,
And I don't take trouble for very long,
I got something deep inside of me, and courage is the thing that keeps us free,
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!

Well you hurt my friends, and you hurt my pride,
I gotta be a man; I can't let it slide,
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!

@Dre

I wouln't be surprised if the Spurs repeat. It's pretty much the same cast of champions that it's been for the last many years. lol


So who is the biggest defensive threat in NFL this year? I'm not talking about teams...I'm talking about individuals. Who are the Lawrence Taylors, Bruce Smiths, Ronnie Lotts of the current NFL?

Desert loving in your eyes all the way
If I listen to your lies would you say
I'm a man without conviction
I'm a man who doesn't know
How to sell a contradiction
You come and go, you come and go

Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Love would be easy if your colours were like my dream
Red gold and green, red gold and green

Don't hear your wicked words every day
And you used to be so sweet, I heard you say
That my love was an addiction
When we cling our love is strong
When you go you're gone forever
You string along, you string along

Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Love would be easy if your colours were like my dream
Red gold and green, red gold and green

Every day is like survival
You're my lover, not my rival
