Video: Wu-Tang Clan x The Roots – “Protect Your Neck” Live On LNWJF

Once again, The Roots x the Wu-Tang Clan terrorize a live Jimmy Fallon jam like drones in Pakistan. Black Thought kicks off the proceedings and fills in as necessary, proving what we already knew about Tariq–in a rap battle he is worth 10 conventional soldiers. But there’s nothing quite like the energy of 7 or 8 samurai onstage, with ODB-in-spiritual-essence trading bars and ad-libs back and forth with the real-as-hell RZA, Ghostface Killah and crew.

I’ve been a Wu-Tang Clan fan for over 20 years. “Protect Ya Neck” and “Shame on a —–” have to be my all time favorite Wu jams. Hands down. Excellent performance, fellas.

@rap… Chill, man. It’s just a paraphrase of one of the verses in the track-

“Terrorize the jam like troops in Pakistan. Swinging through your town like a neighborhood spiderman.”

Definitely no Ghostface in that video. Or GZA. Or Meth. Should be called for what it is, RZA and some other dudes. NOT Wu-Tang Clan.

  My mistake, didn’t recognize Ghost in that hat. Still, no GZA or Meth?
