Um, but hit us in the titties.
Tell us if you disagree with that account.
Uh, and then influences on the heist.
I would say it's very much Wu tag in my opinion.
And interestingly, you guys are doing ghost and Ray cause they would do the back and forth story songs the most, I would say.
And I think that's probably what you had in mind.
I mean, I can't put myself in your shoes, but that was my guess.
But a distinction, in my opinion, re-listening to it, Akiva's really doing RZA.
Like, it's full-throated, yelling RZA.
Almost like Gravedigger's RZA, which did bleed into many early Wu-Tang recordings before he kind of smoothed it out.
Although sometimes he would bring that back.
But he contains multitudes.
Anyhow, as to whether or not it was our best pre-SNL song or pre-album song...
It's definitely one of the best.
When I first heard it, I remember feeling incredibly geeked and inspired and happy and laughing so fucking hard.
The only other one that I would maybe even put in the conversation with it is Stork Patrol, which is also 100% referencing Wu-Tang, not surprisingly, because that was some of our favorite shit around that time and still, obviously.
Stork Patrol gets a little gross in spots in ways that I think we wouldn't do now, but the flows are kind of impeccable, and that is...
Another one of my favorite early Yorn beats.
It goes, as Keeve likes to say.
