Whack song of the day: "Black Shampoo"

In honor of Wu-Tang Clan's Wu-Tang Forever being named as Scott's 9th best hip-hop album ever, we'd like to remind you that it isn't a flawless record.  In fact, it contains perhaps the worst song in Wu-Tang's inconsistent discography, "Black Shampoo".



What makes the track so bad, you ask?

1. It's credited to the grittiest rap group at the time... and is named after a hair product.
2. It is a U-God solo track.  Somehow the guy who leaves every Wu track a little more stanky gets his very own song on the group's magnum-opus.
3. The fruity ass flute
4. It gives you the honor of hearing U-God take a bath
5. It has lyrics that make you think that rather giving it to your raw with no trivia, U-God is more interested in opening a Bath and Body Works franchise.  Here is some of the science he drops:

  • "Massage, peppermint oil, shampoo and pears/ Cinnamin, aloe, natural for you hair"
  • "Lovers, bath crystals, lovers bun scrubbers"
  • "Vanilla apple heat, loop played jazz music, coffee pillow sleeps"
  • "Lay on the couch, while I clip your toenails"
  • "Dreams of peaches and cream steam secret spells"

We could keep going but we are starting to feel really uncomfortable...
