Top 20 Wu-Tang Videos :: URB.com counts down the 20 greatest Wu-Tang videos of all-time

By Brandon Perkins

07/03/07 :: URB web


If there is one thing more infinitely sprawling than the amount of content on YouTube, it'd be the output of the Wu-Tang Clan. While we all sit around and wait for 8 Diagrams, URB.com scoured the video-hosting site for our favorite videos from the Clan's group and solo outputs. While some videos didn't make it because they simply aren't on YouTube ("All That I Got Is You"), others lost their eligibility because a Wu MC wasn't the primary artist ("Woo-ha! Got You All In Check").

Lists are worthless without debate, so feel free to stroll through these next 20 pages and start voicing your winters of discontent. Without further ado, here they are, starting at #20, the greatest Wu-Tang videos of all-time:

 

#20 Ghostface feat. U-God, "Cherchez La Ghost" 

The complete opposite of another lady-loving single that'll appear later in this countdown, "Cherchez La Ghost" is blatantly descriptive of hip-hop's misogyny. But there probably isn't a more fun epitome. Beginning after a night of ridiculous partying--evidenced by the carpet covering sprawl of dime pieces--"Cherchez" picks up where the previous night left off. Ghostface's outfits are no joke--from the red, white and blue bedspread/toothbrush get-up to the fluorescent-green, stuffed-animal fur coat--and neither is Method Man's retro Astros piece as he makes the cameo. We had a blast just watching this party.

Pretty thorough...but "Triumph" at number 2? It was a bloated piece of commercial bullshit and it was the beginning of Wu-Tang's end. Good job keeping most of the videos in their relevant era.

amazing selection...& dude above is a wild person. Triumph changed the whole hip hop video making world.

i like the list. Meth's Judgement Day is clearly better than ... Brooklyn Zoo. The Breakups was hot too. Wu-Tang!

Uh, you all look pretty ridiculous calling the 'Cherchez La Ghost' video 'misogyny' (when it's really just objectification) then giving points to 'Gravel Pit' for including a scene where a woman is knocked unconscious and dragged away by her hair (i.e. kidnapped). Get your priorities straight, folks.

I agree with someone else who already mentioned it..U must have Tragedy from the RZA near the top of your list!
