this song is strong, loud, powerful, funky hip hop..this is really Wu at it's best right here..i am nothing short of AMAZED at 60 Second Assassin on this song, not only is his energy and flow excellent and attention-grabbing but his LYRICS ARE SICK..
this is not the singing 60, this is just crazy-flowing Wu-to-the-grain (60 Sec is ODB's first cousin) rappin' and it's refreshing to hear:
"Some people call it searchin for the Lord,
we call it sharpening our sword"
in some of his lyrics, you can almost detect where Killah Priest got that Heavy Mental influence from, most likely his elder fellow Sun of Man who spits galactic mystic shit on here..
that's the lyrics....now the BEAT, oh my god the beat is nuts...pure bangin, emotional music right here it really gets your heart thumpin with the combo of a strong emotive saxophone, bangin drums with a seemingly unconventional tempo and kick and of course that gloriously smooth sample "Nobody knoooooows my faaaace".....i haven't felt a hip hop chorus this much in a very long time
the combo of the gifted beatsmith Bronze Nazareth, a live instrumtentation band in Project Lionheart, and the energy and sick lyrics 60 brings (i swear the end will give you goosebumps when he's practically channeling ODB) work to perfection here..
