Just as Terminator X was Public Enemy's secret weapon, The RZA is The Wu-Tang Clan's: While other members get all the attention, producer RZA, quietly working behind the scenes, has been the force behind Wu-Tang's raw, all over the map, Bruce Lee-meets-Gladys Knight sound.

RZA has done it again on Ghostface Killah's Ironman, arguably the best of the group's "solo" albums to date. Attacking from all angles, Ironman is classic Wu-Tang, piecing together Al Green and Jackson 5 samples, gospel choruses, kung fu soundbites and piano vamps into something unpredictable and vital-sounding.

With guest rappers like Method Man, Raekwon and U-God on virtually every track, it may as well be a Wu-Tang album. There's even a ballad with Mary J. Blige, on which Ghostface Killah raps, "Word up, Mommy—I love you."

If you don't like this CD you don't appreciate real hip-hop in its purest form that's all I got to say.... Peace!

This CD is one of the best CD's I've heard from in a while. I knew the CD would be good, but I never thought this CD would be the kind I would listen to everyday. Don't take my word for it, listen to the thing. Long live Ghostface!!

if you aint got this you slippin. this has got to be the best wu solo to hit ghost and rea are the handle to the wu tang sword. ghost makes you understand from his point of veiw check windflower and all i got is you. the joint on this cd is 260 check the horns baby some of the best samples of movies yet rea was the killer and ghost is willie dynamite come now other groups wish they were this stylish dont front get this cd

Years after it's release, Iron Man by Ghost Face Killah still gets heavy rotation. With hits like Daytona 500, Winter Warz and Motherless Child, no Hip Hop collection would be complete without it.

If you don't think that this album is one of the best hip-hop albums out right now then you just don't understand what it is about. You gotta listen to it and take it all in. Of course you west coasters and master P"oop" bout it bout it fans can't handle it.

Instant classic banging in the typical WU fashio

ghostface does a great cd and havin raekwon and cappa d in it was great rza keep em comin

YO i Dont get it.....why does every1 like this cd. it is basically horrible. the only thing stopping me from givin g it 1 star is "Winter Warz" and "all that i got is You" the rest of it is horrible. the beats are repetative, the lyrics dont do anything for me. dont get me wrong wu tang is phat but ghost is lackin on this one. it could have been a lot better. maybe "Supreme Climinte" will prove itself to be better.

this cd is not all dat....the only thing making it worth anything is "assasination day" which is one of the best tracks i've ever heard...liquid swords and the 36 chambers kick this cd's bootay...
