Pharoahe Monch Bodies An Official Wu-Tang Clan Remix With Sean Price & Tek (Audio)
Life is too short to listen to bad music. So…let AFH fight through it for you and only supply you with that great stuff. Despite the reports, Hip-Hop is alive and well and, in many ways, is better than it’s ever been. Not only are we able to go back and listen to all of our favorites, at the click of a button, there is also a ton of great music still being made by artists, young and veteran alike…if you know where to look. To help with that task, we’ve created a playlists with recent music—songs that have been released within the last year or so. We update it regularly, so, if you like what you hear, subscribe to follow us on Spotify.
The Wu-Tang Clan releases their official remix to the “Pearl Harbor” single, featuring Sean Price. The new rendition of the single from last year’s The Saga Continues album (named one of AFH‘s best LPs of ’17) welcomes longtime affiliates Pharoahe Monch and Tek (of Smif-n-Wessun) to the mix. The Organized Konfusion MC enters the song (with its original beat) at the 2:00 mark, with charisma. Monch demonstrates some beat-box abilities as he illustrates a point about his sexual prowess. The master spitter alters the speed of his delivery and uses his melodic voice for emphasis in laying down bars and lyrical law. On a track produced by the borough’s Mathematics, Pharoahe declares himself “the sickest ni**a from Queens.” With guest verses like this, it’s hard to argue. At 3:30, Tek’s nasal delivery blesses the track with a short but potent verse: “Trill ni**a, but I ain’t gotta say it / The way that I move, how I’ll display it / I talk less, and I listen more,” spits the Bucktown Boot Camp Clik O.G. The original sections of the song from Method Man and Ghostface Killah are intact.
