Master Was Very Cross With Me Today

Recognize this verse? It's not Kool Keith, but a rap group contemporary to his best work.

Homicide's illegal and death is the penalty
What justifies the homicide, when he dies?
In his own iniquity it's the
Master of the Mantis Rapture comin at cha
We have an APB on an MC Killer
Looks like the work of a Master
Evidence indicates that's it's stature
Merciless like a terrorist hard to capture
The flow, changes like a chameleon
Plays like a friend, and stabs you like a dagger
This technique attacks the immune system
Disguised like a lie paralyzin the victim
You scream, as it enters your bloodstream
Erupts your brain from the pain these thoughts contain
Novin on a nigga with the speed of a centipede
and injure - ANY MOTHERFUCKIN CONTENDER
 
I may be cool, but I was not cool enough to be certain that that was Wu-Tang without checking. I did *think* it was though.

I think I saw this really interesting foreign art book with RZA running around looking like some living anime thing in plastic armor once, but again, I'd have to check to be sure.
 
The RZA is my main hiphop hero. He is pretty much it for me. Him & Ghost & Raekwon.

"Yo! Yo! Yo, fuck that, look at all these crab niggaz laid back
Lampin like them gray and black Puma's on my man's rack
Codeine was forced in your drink
You had a Navy Green salamander fiend, bitches never heard you scream
You two-faces, scum of the slum, I got your whole body numb
Blowin like Shalamar in eighty-one
Sound convincin, thousand dollar court by convention
Hands, like Sonny Liston, get fly permission
Hold the fuck up, I'll unfasten your wig, bad luck
I humiliate, separate the English from the Dutch
it's me, black nobled you Ali
Came in threes we like the Genovese, is that so
Caesar needs the greens, it's Earth
Ninety-three million miles from the first
Rough turbulence, the waveburst, split the megahertz"
 
You probably saw artwork done for the Bobby Digital album. I've long been a fan of Wu-Tang and all the slum-afro-asian art they've inspired.

Rosco, you posted Ghost's verse from one of my favorite Wu tracks, Triumph. In fact the two monikers I use whenever I use a moniker are Marquis and Osiris. Marquis because of the quote in my sigline and Osiris from the intro to Triumph.

How'd you get into the Wu?

A classy response indeed.

Rosco as Eminem. I can't believe I didn't see it before.

They have such a similar attitude that I don't know which one taught it to the other. Although in this case, I think Rosco, having seniority, is most likely the "egg" and Eminem the "chicken." ;)
