90's Jams #7: Wu-Tang Clan "Shame On A *****" (1993)

"Starring Ol' Dirty Bastard" is just one of those phrases that will always generate a huge reaction. Within the 11 years after Wu-Tang's first release, he may have lead the most outrageously "I don't give a fuck" career of any high profile Top 40 artist. And it all started with arguably his most perfectly and insanely on-point moment. Method Man and Raekwon adequately fuck shit up as per usual, and RZA's instantly recognizable monster-party beat by itself crowns "Shame On A *****" as the quintessential Wu-Tang explosion. However, it's belligerent Dirt McGirt who propels this into the upper stratosphere of 90's hiphop. They were never again as hungry as on Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers, with this track as Ol' Dirty's grand entrance, bustin' down the door, with a breakfast 40oz in hand...

This is the closest thing to a music video we could find on Youtube...
