double disc touched 5... is not a reference to 5 mics
its a reference to album sales

i thought he was saying "Forever" only got understood by the 5%Originally Posted by mic-coard-strangler
"No surprise, double disc touched five"
i agree with Beautiful Beard, he probably talks about the 5% (= Nation of Gods) who understood the message, and the real meaning of FOREVER. PEACE
yo.. thanx man for all these opinions.. thas dope
but EyeHyeAm must be right
1st king
double meaning
Forever sold 5 million copies
also refering to 5% nation of gods and earths
it's not suprise it touched 5 million b/c they are 5 percenters

and my comments:
I move with the speed and strength of ants
Identical in form with the Beez they swarm
the "speed and strength of ants" line seems like an odd line at first until you consider what the speed and strength of ants actually is. ants operate in huge colonies....together one ant is not much, but together ants can transform landscapes. think about that in relation to the clan; that's what makes the line so clever.
[QUOTE]
Actually hes probably referring to the fact that proportionally ANts are probably the fastest and strongest creatures around. They can left something stupid like 100 times their own body weight.
I also have to point out that i LOVED that "D. banner under pressure" line. its true thats GZA ingenuity all over. ANy emcee coul dhave said "i rhyme wild like the hulk " or something but GZA takes it that 1 step further.
i aint even go try interpret the genius yo
guess i jus understand whut genius means
but still ma mans mans ma mans love from south africa
Hold up the cold current appear warm
Since the Gods compare women to the Earth, when we say "cold current" or "warm current", it means that when u approach a woman and she's being stuck-up or cold, or has an attitude, we call that having a "cold current", and when women are nice after u approach them, or they comply to have a conversation, we call that having a "warm current". This is what it generally means, but in this line that sounds out of context of what GZA's rhyming about. Maybe thats what he meant, but I dont know. That's what it generally means tho.i dont actually get this line. whatever....it sounds cool
The Holy Temple Is The Mental
It could mean that the double disc (Wu-Tang Forever) touched the 5 Percenters, because we undertand it the most, or it could mean that the double disc touched 5 in regards to album sales (Wu-Tang Forever wenr 4X Platinum, maybe more).
The Holy Temple Is The Mental
Yo, too advanced, Digi' stance, made the CD enhanced
i actually thought that this was "to advance digi's stance" as in "in order to advance rza's vision we made an enhanced cd"
See the logo? A monument in hip-hop
Carved out, in the giant landscape, of broken rocks
wu's logo is as recognizeable as mt. rushmore
Spotlight hits the metal mic, majority stare
Heard the Wu snare, while my iris cut down the glare
the industry is waiting to see what wu will do next. gza's eyeing them up
Walk a road the great length you find too long to measure
wu had a vision that nobody else could see
My Clan a make me rhyme like D. Banner under pressure
this could be a reference to "ice water" on ob4cl. gza spit a verse for that track. cappa then spit his verse that was tighter than gza's. cappa got on the track and gza went home pissed off.
No surprise, double disc touched five
gza has always said that a lot of his lyrics have multiple interpretations. i always assumed that it meant that wu-forever sold 5 million (it actuall went 4 platinum, but i think the figures are close to 5) but the 5% interpretation sounds logical to me.
Those elements, kept environments colonized
could be speaking about the clan, the wu-fam, east coast rap, or hip-hop in general
with the high flyin death-defyin flow like the Rebel
Right there, but you're one light year, from my level
nobody is even close to gza in skill
