Product Description

IRONMAN is the first solo album by a member of the Wu-Tang Clan in almost a year, and rap fans waited a long time for it. The previous year, after all, yielded four of them, all largely produced by Wu-Tang mastermind RZA. IRONMAN is an RZAproduction, too, largely a masterpiece in its own right. It's likely to raise the level of anticipation, if that's possible, for the full band's follow-up to the 1993 landmark ENTER THE WU-TANG.
IRONMAN is as singular an album as any ofthe individual Wu-Tang releases. Within its raw, basement sound are so many separate elements that it's sometimes hard to believe they're actually coalescing into a single song; it's as if the songs are defying the laws of physics. Lyrically, Ghostface's rhyme style is more complex than it first appears. Whether shouting his creed ("Daytona 500") or romancing an older woman ("Camay"), Ghostface speaks to his listeners in a private slang, and it often takes more than one listen to pick up on his metaphors. Most of the other Wu-Tangersmake cameos here; Ghost's sidekicks Raekwon and Cappadonna are all over this album.

Customer Reviews

You need this album in your collection!
An absolute classic Album - if you are a fan of the Wu-Tang or other Wu solo projects then you need to check out this album because it's worth the money (no matter the price)!

This is a wubanga
This is a classic album from start to finish the beats are like you've never heard although Liquid swords is a heavy album this has heavy bass tracks like BOX IN HAND & BLACK JESUS, POISONOUS DARTS, WINTER WARZ which cappadonna's verse full of lyrical technique will have you reciting every word. I think alot of people spend too much time comparing the Wu tang artists against each other when you realise they have their own styles especially Ghostface has a faster rapping approach compared to Gza GFK has one of the illest rhymes on ONLY BUILT 4 CUBAN LINX on WU GAMBINOS but the ironman album should be considered a class album one of Ghost's best.

My My
