Wu-Tang Clan & Kool G Rap: “Rivers Of Blood”

Don't worry, Wu-Tang and Kool G's "Rivers Of Blood" has nothing to do with Enoch Powell.

Here's some borderline industrial sounding hip-hop from some of the industry’s heavyweights, on yet another track from Tarantino’s The Man With The Iron Fist. In case you haven’t heard, Tarantino is being characteristically low key by enlisting some of the biggest names in the game on the soundtrack, with this one featuring Raekwon, Ghostface and Kool G Rap, so I was always gonna wet my pants over it.

It's OK if you like droning guitar and grudgingly accepting Hollywood’s hold over hip-hop, but the vocals are great, and the lyrics are as palatable as you might expect: “Watch your body rot to the bone structure/ Scrape out your brain, watch your eye-balls rupture.” Also, before this I always associated "rivers of blood" with Enoch Powell's immigrant bashing, so y'know, we needed this. Thanks guys!
