Logic tries his hand at the Shaolin Style.
Spanning over eight minutes, “Wu-Tang Forever” includes contributions from Cappadonna, Masta Killa, U-God, Inspectah Deck, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, M-E-T-H-O-D Man, GZA, RZA, and even low-key Wu affiliate Jackpot Scotty Wotty. Evoking shades of vintage anthems like “Triumph” and “Protect Ya Neck,” Logic kicks things off with a boastful, and perhaps well-earned proclamation. “Who you know assembled the track like Voltron?” he raps, “the one and only Logic, the God, the don.”
If you don’t get a kick out of hearing the endless onslaught of that Shaolin style, perhaps there is no saving you. Shout out to Logic for quarterbacking, and special props to RZA for unconventionally bodying this one like only he can.
Quotable Lyrics
The enigma, the stigmas that the RZA and the GZA
Both lyrical prolific, fixtures of rap scriptures
Mixtures of hipsters, weed smokers and beer drinkers
Prince and the Pauper, spiritual clear-thinkers
Cake in the oven, Superbad like McLovin huggin’ all four boroughs,puffin’ herb with my cousin
Academically speaking, rap vocabulary’s weakenin’
I felt it comin’ like the Weeknd when these starboys start tweakin’
