Le Début de la Légende

Wu-Citation No 1:'In The Beginning there was darkness , then came light...' Timbo King (La Saga 1997)
Au départ on trouve le groupe Force Of The Imperial Master qui sera rebaptisé plus tard 'All In Together Now Crew' ils auront d'ailleur un certain succés en under avec un single du meme nom . On y retrouve Prince Rakeem , Ason Unique et The Genius; les 3 piliers fondateurs de ce qui sera plus tard le Wu-Tang Clan. Il reste peu de traces de cette epoque mystérieuse , toutefois dans l'album posthume de ODB 'In Lovin'Memory Of Russell Jones' on peut trouver 2 tracks provenant de cette période. De plus j'ai récupérer une video assez interessante de Ason Unique et Prince Rakeem en concert , ce qui logiquement nous emmène a une petite présentation des 3 fondateurs du Clan (on aura droit plus loin a une présentation bien plus détaillée):

Robert Diggs : aka Prince Rakeem (The Rza dans le Supreme Alphabet)
Gary Grice : aka The Genius (The Gza dans le Supreme Alphabet)
Russell Jones: aka Ason Unique ( Bza dans le Supreme Alphabet)

Ces 3 Mc de légende (pour pas dire les meilleurs du monde) sont le ciment du Wu-Tang Clan , on verra plus tard en détail leurs discographies et lyrics.

Début de la carrière solo de Prince Rakeem

Début de la carrière solo de Prince Rakeem
Wu-Citation No 2: Rap crusader, bam boom invader
Sex capader and also a panty raider
So protect your property
'Cause when it comes to baggin' girls
No one is stopping me. (The Rza dans Deadly Venoms 1991)


Mais ils décident de tenter leurs chances individuelement , Prince Rakeem signe un deal avec Tommy Boy et produit un EP 'Ohh I Love You Rakeem' , il obtiendra peu de succes avec ce single , et un séjour en prison le prive d'album solo.On peut le qualifier de réele première trace officielle d'un membre du Wu-Tang Clan, meme si ce EP se distingue par sa niaiserie et son objectif clairement commercial. On est bien loin de ce qui sera plus tard le célèbre Shaolin Style du Wu-tang. Remarque: En fait ce n'est pas la premiere trace officielle d'un membre du Wu ou plus précisement des Killah Beez puisque en 1988 Finesse du groupe Deadly Venom a sorti un album avec Synquis (qui n'a absolument aucun lien avec la nébuleuse Wu-Killa Beez) sous le pseudo des Soul Sisters. On détaillera sa plus tard.

Lyrics et Clip de 'Ohh We Love You Rakeem'

Artiste: Prince Rakeem

Morceau: Ohh, We Love You Rakeem


(Prince Rakeem & Girl Talking)
Yes
Aoow
Sexy Stuff
Aoo
Oh Yeah!
Definetly
Oh Yeah

Chorus
Rakeem: I got too many ladies, I got to learn to say no
Woman: Ohh, We Love You Rakeem
Rakeem: I got too many ladies, yo, I got to learn to say no
Woman: Ohh, We Love You Rakeem, Ohh Rakeem

Verse One:
Time is moving slow, life is a drag
This money to make ya, more girls to bag
Fully aware, so I step upon the square
Lookin for what? The cooty and the chair
Flex and I flex on the opposite sex
Hit 'em off quick and step to the next
It's seems I'm a feem for a sex routine
Love to hear them scream
(Woman: Ohh Rakeem)
And my response is "Oh"
Always satisfy them, you know how I flow
But since I'm not lazy, I'm buck wild and crazy
I kiss the bussom, but never eat the daisies
And my ladies love me deeply
Because I'm handsome, charming and freaky
And when they need me, they won't go
And now I'm stuck, I should of said no

Chorus 2:
Woman: Ohh we love you Rakeem
Rakeem: And I love you to
Woman: Ohh we love you Rakeem
Rakeem: Thank you
Woman: Ohh we love you Rakeem
Rakeem: Your far too kind
Woman: Ohh Rakeem
Rakeem: Gosh
Woman: Ohh we love you Rakeem
Rakeem: You feeling mutual love
Woman: Ohh we love you Rakeem
Rakeem: Oh do you?
Woman: Ohh we love you Rakeem
Rakeem: Hmmmmm
Woman: Ohh Rakeem

Verse Two:
When I walk down the block
The girls stop and glock
They hop on my jock
Cause I got mad props
Tall & slim with the brown skin conflection
Half them sweating my love and affection
As I collect them, I must wan't to protect them
Love them deeply, but never disrespect them
I keep a tab on the large amount
But sometimes I find myself losing count
Of Latika, Diane, Lisa
Stephanie, Jackie, Teresa
Sharonda, um um, Veronica
Latasha, Sinthia & Monica
Never the less, you must give respect
To the femine queens that the God selects
I love them all, but even though
I'm rather happy, I should of said no
But yet my ego gets in the way
And always something that I'll never say
I'd just bag them, keep 'em under my wing
Put them in a posse, and et them sing

Chorus 2(Rakeem saying these lines instead)
Do you
Say it again baby
Yes I like it
Come on you can say it louder
Cuz I love you all
Thank you
Rakeem Allah the greatest baby

Chorus 1(to the end)(Rakeem talking in the back)


Artiste: Prince Rakeem

Morceau: Deadly Venoms


(Prince Rakeem talking)
Yo here we go yo
The Prince Rakeem, this here is called my deadly venom
You know what I'm sayin?
Some old freestyle type of slick slang
For you and your gang
Girls so ya'll can kinda sweat this
Check it out and ya' don't quit

Verse 1:
And many brothers know me for what?
My bag of bitches
But I'm also known for giving stitches
A buck 50 for those who get nifty
That's why your ass so fast to call me swifty
And here I go and here I go
Hey yo go out like Bo and act like ya' know
That ya' can't beat me or bring me
The least bit of harm
Sssss, um um, uh uh
Heck no, I keep a sucker brain petrified
When I grab the mic I won't let go, I'd
Rather go live forever and ever and ever
Let it go? Never
Assume a lot of boys are doomed
Without being tuned
To many many many moons
As the champ that blast through your amp
I can't get weak cause my style can't cramp
I'm rugged like Guess black denim
Battles ya'll know I always ran 'em
When it comes to rappers, they're seeds
I'll plant 'em
As I eject ya' wit' a dose of deadly venom
This is the way I like to parle
And amputate to the words I say
The tormentor, take you on a mad adventure
Through an episode that's cold like the winter
Check your checklist
And see if you can wreck this
You thought I was a lover
And didn't expect this
Style I specify but now you can testify
Thee not a less the best is I

Deadly Venoms
Deadly Venoms kid
Check it out yo

Verse 2:
No time for charades or masquerades
It's more rugged shit with the kid with braids
And I like brothers to step up and show what they got
And watch 'em drop on the spot
And pop the corns
Just raw like crumbs from my tongue
Cause you're small like Tom Thumb
But I'm great, up to date and elevate
Rhymes I design
I write with paper mate
I stimulate your thoughts
Can't take shorts
Won every battle that I ever fought
So friend or foe
Who want to go toe to toe?
Yo you know you're gonna fall below
Zero don't try to play hero
Like um, Robert DeNiro and Crazy Shapiro
But I exempt not to be a wimp
I walk with a limp of a Roscoe pimp
I'm a slickster
Who's out to get your sister
You disagree with me? Fuck you mister
So uncanny brothers can't stand me
I'll take the panties from your mammy and your granny
Rap crusader, bam boom invader
Sex capader and also a panty raider
So protect your property
'Cause when it comes to baggin' girls
No one is stopping me
Or getting rid of me
I'm the epitome
Even cold fuck the statue of liberty
That's the way that I am though
Yea Rakeem wit' a rugged deadly venom (venom)

Yea check it the deadly venom (venom)
Word, the deadly venom kid
Yea a deadly venom (venom)

Verse 3:
Suckers step to me and think they can do me
Your style is screwy like Hong Kong Fuey
You can't push me, rush or mush me
Dust or crush, or even ambush me
'Cause I'll play ya' right out of position
See through your mission with x-ray vision
And once I see ya' I get Scrooge like Ebenezer
Crush ya' like black Caesar
After that I'll leave ya'
Hit 'em wit' a symptom of Rakeem fever
You get strung, hung, swung
Done, by a witty rap tongue
>From a young man who understood
What it takes to be good
Make a rhyme sound like it should
Susa I'm makin' this style looser
I turn men to stone like Medusa
You get blown and thrown off course
Feel the remorse
You're forced to take a loss
I get crazier
Slay ya' like Hell Raiser
Style amaze ya' I'm rugged like a trail blazer
Then I crash right through your
Lyrics I sued 'em
They're moving like U-Haul
Booming 'em, doing 'em, wrap 'em
Like aluminum fo-o-oil
Your plans got spoiled
Rhymes will affect ya'
Who loves to wreck ya'?
I laugh in your face like I'm Woody Woodpecker
(mocks Woody Woodpecker's laugh)
You can't get with the Ra'
Deadly venom

Word, Know what I'm sayin?
The Prince Rakeem strikes again
Never hit below the belt although the blow is felt
I wanna say peace to the DMD posse
And the gladiator posse
And the whole Staten Island posse
And the funky president Mel Kwan


Artiste: Prince Rakeem


Morceau: Sexcapades

[RZA]
Yo it's the sexcapades, the sexcapades

(Chorus)
Baggin' ladies drive 'em crazy
That's my every day routine
Have 'em buggin' it sayin' they lovin' it (baby)
Saying, "Oh we love Rakeem"
And as I kiss 'em I just diss 'em
With a symptom of my love
And once they're afflicted
They're addicted 'cause they want you like a drug

[RZA]
So let me speak (speak)
On the code I seek
How many freaks can I bag in the course of a week? (Uh huh)
Yo check this
They trip with the quickness
The freak that we speak will walk out with swiftness
Once captivated (captivated) right
They become trapped to date it
Sexually enfactuated (By who)
By the stigma that this kid hooked
The brain
What this is the is sexcapades (Aight)
Episode 1 I'm down by the store
Saw a young girl that I wanted to explore
I said, "Peace, yo my name is Rakeem"
She replied, "Hi my name is Charlene"
"But all my friends they call me Cha Cha"
I said, "Word, then you can call me Ra Ra" (Ra Ra)
She said, "Ra are ya' rowdy?"
I said, "Naw that's not my style see"
But brothers run it true that have game (right)
Who like to lounge and get poo-tang
All night (Uh huh)
That was the end of a dramo
Now that you know go back in the condo
She had a grill like a night trick
The poo-tang pie braid and hat trick
Now the Ra was on a mission
I did the humpty hump in a vertical position

(Chorus)
Baggin' ladies drive 'em crazy
That's my everyday routine (Word)
Have 'em buggin' this (Ra had 'em buggin')
Sayin' they lovin' this
Sayin', "Oh we love Rakeem"
And as I diss 'em I just kiss 'em
With a sympom of my love
And once they're afflicted
They're addicted (Rakeem)
'Cause they want you like a drug

[RZA]
Hey yo yo let's get on with the episode (episode)
Scene 2 I'm walkin down Clove road
A day a gloomy day
A gray coat cover
No light because the sky was gray
But I was looking dope if I must so (You can say so)
But my gear was in it like Prego
And as I walk I saw up ahead of me a girl
Eyes gray green like a pedigree
And then and now I didn't want to pass that
I gave an eye so I could sweat her assests
She essential influential body potential
So another lover tied into
Yo but not a moment to waste
I slide over like I was flying the whole thing
Yes I was successful
Using my special
Wu-Tang slang that capture the brain
Next step was yes yep
Not to disrespect (Nope)
But I must protect my rep (You got to)
And after here I told her to entice me
She said it's too late 'cause she was a wify
I said, "Listen baby check it"
It's one or the other
Lier lover sucker or fucker
And guess which choice she chose? (Which one)
A brother had her lying in my bed with no clothes
And the Ra was all eyeing her
But you can save that nicey shit for your mama
DMD thinks I'm deadly (downtown)
And she sounds like cats in over...(Growl)

(Chorus)
Baggin' ladies drive 'em crazy
That's my everyday routine (Yea)
Have 'em buggin' this (Ra had 'em buggin'"
Sayin' they lovin' this
Sayin', "Oh we love Rakeem"
And as I kiss 'em I just diss 'em
With a symptom of my love
And once they're afflicted
They're addicted (Rakeem)
'Cause they want you like a drug

Yea it's the sexcapades the sexcapades
The sex the sex the sexcapades
The sexcapades
Yo what time is it kid?
Yo It's time to get laid
And It's the sexcapades (Word)
Yo what time is it kid?
Yo It's time to get laid
It's the sexcapades
It's the Ra the Rzakeem Rzarah lick it ah
Strikes again never hitting below the belt
'91 kids aint none
Word DMD type shit
And I say...
Power Equality Allah (C)ees Equality
Yea that means P.E.A.C.E. (peace)

1er album solo du Genius 'Words From The Genius'

1er album solo du Genius 'Words From The Genius'
Nous sommes en 1991 , The Genius va sortir son premier album solo intitulé 'Words From The Genius' produit en majorité par Easy Mo Bee , sous le label Cold Chillin le label de Big Daddy Kane , d'ailleur Gza lachera plus tard une rime assassine a l'encontre de son ancien label dans 'Protect Ya Neck' et dans 'Labels' de Liquid Swordz , ce sera un échec commercial et Gza sera viré du label , pourtant on peut déja constaté les qualités remarquables du Genius dans cet album , pour ma part je pense que l'échec de cet album est a mettre sur le compte des faibles prods de Easy Mo Bee qui collent mal a la personnalité de Gza. Mais tout n'est pas que négatif dans cet album , Gza lache de temps a autres ces célèbres lyrics corrosifs :"The Genius, is a rap professor
Casual dresser, you may dress fresher
But the way I speak is so poetic
Describe me on the mic, I'm energetic" Who's Your Rhymin' Hero , ou encore "MC's wonder what's hip-hop thunder. Tell you the truth it's just One Nation
Under , A Groove , getting down for the funk of it"
dans l'excellent Words From The Genius. La aussi cet album plaira aux collectionneurs.

Le Single Come Do Me

Artiste : The Genius

Morceau: Come Do Me



Here I am loungin' at a hype party
Then I see this lady with a hellafied body
With a pair of bedroom eyes that were clocking The Genius
Well, you see what I mean is
She had the look as if she was attracted
To me so what I did, I reacted
In a manner to show that I was feeling the same
Now check out the game
I said lovely, I be The Genius and how ya doing?
I'm on a chase and you're the one that I'm pursuing
She said it's the pleasure Genius, I'm doing kinda fine
But what's on your mind?
I said

CHORUS:
Girl
Come Do Me

I said sexy, where you live over yonda
What's your name?
She said it's Yolanda
She said she knew me from back in the days
And that I had her running on a wild sex craze
I said now you're kinda big and well-developed
And parts of your body just made my head swell up
She said her feelings were so deep for me
To the point where she wanted to sleep with me
I said c'mon babe, I know you're jokin'
She said if I'm jokin' you must be smokin'
I said the only think I wanna be smokin' is your boots
And she said "I hear ya troop"
And just from that little bit of conversation
It put my hormones into activation
The whole thing just went to my head
As I held her hands and said
Baby, come do me

Hey good looking how many times may I say
That your gorgeous smile takes my breath away
Your soft warm little voice is very pleasing
And your tight mini-skirt is kind teasing
Me, it makes me wanna do the nasty
And you got the look of being very classy
So go ahead and whip it on me
As Latifah said,"gimme that body"
So you see right there I desire you
I'm not a pimp and I don't want to hire you
Cuase that's not what The Genius is about
Let my love slide in and never slip out
