The Man With the Iron Fists: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
The martial-arts epic The Man With the Iron Fists is the RZA‘s directorial debut – although, figuratively speaking, the beat wizard has been making kung-fu movies for as long as the Wu-Tang Clan existed. The soundtrack is not as evocatively cinematic as the Wu’s greatest songs, but it’s a tasty mixtape – a blend of vintage R&B, neosoul and hip-hop, featuring Kanye West, Pusha T and many Wu members. The Black Keys bring scuzz funk to “The Baddest Man Alive,” setting a grainy-film-stock 1970s vibe that’s sustained throughout – even when Kanye is bragging about jet-setting and name-dropping Kurt Cobain.
