Funeral songs are supposed to be music that the recently passed was fond of or that described them well, I don't know that I'd play a sad song at this type of sad event.

In any event, both stories in this song are sad, but RZA's story of how he lost his brother I think is more tragic carried by a bad ass beat!



As for the beat, the first time I heard the song that Tearz was sampled from hit me just as hard and made me a little watery eyed when you hear her cry mid-song.



She was singing from deep within!
