Best Wu-Tang Clan Songs
A list of all the best Wu Tang Clan songs, whether it be solo or as a group.
This song has had an enduring influence on rappers. Method Man's hook, "Cash rules everything around me, C.R.E.A.M., Get the money. Dollar, dollar bill, y'all," and other references pop up in countless rap songs. Everyone from The Notorious B.I.G. and 2Pac to Kanye West, Nas, and Drake have incorporated nods to the song in their own tracks. Eminem also included it on the soundtrack to his 2002 film, 8 Mile.
Classic stuff, pure money machine but well-kept in its time. The good times flew away but this song will always remind me of them.
This blast of hardcore hip-hop was the first Wu-Tang Clan release. The Staten Island group financed the recording themselves and pressed a 12" single containing three versions of this song and a vocal and instrumental version of "After The Laughter Comes Tears" as the B-side.
They also took care of distribution (bringing the single to local record shops and selling out of cars) and promotion (hitting up local clubs and radio stations) on their own. Their plan worked, and this DIY underground success gave the act instant credibility, as it was clear that these guys were real hustlers who lived their lyrics, and not a polished record company creation.
Major labels came calling, and the group signed with RCA subsidiary Loud Records in a deal that included an unusual clause: all members were free to pursue solo careers outside of the label.
This song sounds pretty awesome for its specific decade when it came into the world for the first time.
This song is a mystery inside of a mystery box.
Negative words but a positive instrumental.
"Triumph" is a song by the American hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan, from their 1997 album Wu-Tang Forever. It was released as the lead single from the album in February 1997. The song does not have a chorus, instead solely consisting of an intro and interlude by Ol' Dirty Bastard and verses from the other eight Wu-Tang members and associate (and future member) Cappadonna. It is the only Wu-Tang song featuring all members.
It was a hard choice, but I believe that Triumph is the most loyal Wu-Tang Clan song to describe them at their best.
I remember when this song used to be the most dope thing in my hood. I'm from Queens, NY. I salute all Wu-Tang fans like me!
Better than Triumph. At least this song should be number three. It's amazingly calming.
Excellent peaceful chords. This is the best!
I've changed my mind. Method Man is first to me now!
This song is so great. It's my favorite rap song along with The World Is Yours.
I'm surprised this song has flown under so many people's radar. It's just under three minutes long. Go listen to it!
Greatest song by them or probably number three because I know not everyone will agree with my personal point of view.
Same good as C.R.E.A.M. Why is it not even in the top five?
Best Wu-Tang track. The beat is scarier than Freddy Krueger, and the lyrics are some of the best from Wu-Tang Clan's entire discography. RZA and Raekwon made this song a god. It is probably one of the best rap songs of all time.
Wu-Tang slang gonna leave ya headpiece hanging!
I love the lyrical style. It goes different from the rest.
A track from Wu-Tang Clan's first album, this song finds the rappers flexing their lyrical muscles and putting other rappers on notice. Wu-Tang leader RZA explained: "The most important thing that people need to know about us? That Wu-Tang Clan ain't nuthin' to f*** wit. Lyrically, no-one can f*** with us. It's gonna take another generation to match our rhymes."
Nothing gets me going like that bass drop.
RZA's best verse of his entire career and my favorite song off 36 Chambers!
RZA at his finest! Two emotional stories told by the rapping gods RZA and Ghostface.
Still a fantastic song with a fantastic beat.
This is a pretty quiet song inside of the storm. It's like getting into a silent hell. It's like shutting all the worms inside the earth. It's like the Wu-Tang Clan at their darkest art. It's a masterpiece.
No votes or comments for this song? Wow. I'm glad to be the only genius to do it.
Promised myself this song's longevity for real.
Better than Think Differently, Duel of the Iron Mic, Reunited, Jah World, Ice Cream, Winter Warz, Bring Da Pain, even Tearz and Verbal Intercourse. This song just needs to be in the Top 10. I feel it could fit better.
It's a pretty good song in my opinion. This does 80% of things correctly!
This song is out of the Top 10, and that's not good!
I put this as second, placing A Better Tomorrow above it. GZA's opening with for metaphorical parables to fertilize the earth is so cool. Not to mention Iron Lung who said, is it appetite for destruction... It's just the catchiest thing I've heard all day.
Sick sample, nice flow, one of the best songs by Wu-Tang!
