Severe Punishment – Wu-Tang Clan

Severe Punishment by Wu-Tang Clan is not only one of the Illest Wu tracks from the Wu-Tang Forever double-disc album, but also a Bboy catalyst, always sure to set off some fierce competition.

“I’m going to Chop Off Your Arm… Are You Ready?”

To quote just one of the many #dope bars, here’s RZA on Hip-hop:

Yo MC’s wonder what’s hip hop thunder
Tell you the truth it’s just one nation under a groove
Gettin’ down for the funk of it…

And some commentary from RapReviews:

The next track may be too dark even for some die-hard Wu-Tang fans; although personally “Severe Punishment” is my favorite track on the whole of disc one. All of the Wu MC’s shine, but U-God’s introductory verse in particular recalls the dopeness of “Da Mystery of Chessboxin'” while GZA follows up with a FURIOUS assault where he dismisses weaker rappers with the words “Shit is COPPER, it ain’t worth the mic stands/used by backup singers in Atlantic City bands.” Ouch! Don’t be surprised if days later you find yourself randomly quoting the samples with a psychotic gleam in your eye – “I’m going to chop off your arm; so ARE YOU READY?”
