"i gotcha back but you best go watch your front, cus its the niggas in front that be pulling stunts" is also really nice, i think. at first it doesnt appear to make sense because of the "watch your back" term is so widely known. after a bit of thinking though, you realise that you would always expect someone to hit you from the back while it's the people in the front (friends etc) that you wont expect to turn their back on you. its small jewelz like those i really like from wu tang.

It's genuinely incredible how RZA, GZA and the Clan managed to lay down several truly perfect and unimpeachable tracks on the same record: "I Gotcha Back", "Living in the World Today", "Liquid Swords", "Gold", (arguably) "Cold World". Most artists would be grateful to have one song that good across their entire careers. Liquid Swords has five across its 60-minute runtime. The WTC were on a truly insane run in the mid-'90s.

One of those exceedingly rare and fleeting moments in time, in which a group of people - who all happen to all be oozing with an electric sort of creativity - also happen to be in the same place with each other, and make something happen together. That was the Wu circa '93-'95. They could do no wrong for a while there... and perhaps the craziest part is that every track has somehow stood the test of time. And RZA was the throughline of it all, the nucleus that held everything together. A miraculous run indeed.

I've said it before and will say it again..... the evolution of the wu with the first wave of albums from 92-97 is one of the top 3 periods in hip-hop. we will never see a growth like that again and i'm damn blessed to have witnessed all that
