“The Baddest Man Alive” gets an action-packed video featuring bluesy indie rockers The Black Keys and hip-hop’s RZA. But it’s not quite like the fights you’d see in the film The Man With The Iron Fists. It involves a fish, fortune cookie, lettuce, and a healthy dose of humor. See how these guys throw it down. The track is also streamable below.
The Man With The Iron Fists comes out November 2nd.
This week has been all about The Man With the Iron Fists. The Quentin Tarantino-presented and RZA-written-and-directed film, which hits theaters on November 2nd, has enlisted an all-star group of hip-hop’s finest for its epic soundtrack. Yesterday, we heard The Black Keys & RZA collaborate on “The Baddest Man Alive,” this morning we listened to Wu-Tang Clan‘s contribution “Six Directions of Boxing,” and right now we’re presenting Kanye West‘s “White Dress”. The highly anticipated track doesn’t need much introduction and could’ve certainly stood on its own, but it’s accompanied by a video that literally takes you around the world. You can also stream it below, enjoy!

As we’ve noted in some of our previous posts, The Man With The Iron Fists is not only on pace to be the best original soundtrack of the year, but the argument can also be made that it’s in contention to be one of the top albums of the year as well. On the latest leak from the project, RZA manages to reassemble the full Wu-Tang Clan minus only a few members. It’s almost like the 90’s never left on this low-key, funky trip with U-God, Ghostface Killah, GZA, Masta Killa, Cappadonna, and Inspectah Deck all stepping into the ring to sock you in the face from multiple directions with their fiery fists of fury (hence the name of the song). I wouldn’t call it a comeback for the Wu just yet, but it’s definitely a start. Hopefully this leads to even more collaborations in the future, and maybe even a 20 year reunion project once 2013 rolls around. The idea’s not that farfetched is it?
The soundtrack for the forthcoming Quentin Tarantino film, The Man With The Iron Fists, is shaping up to have quite a few hit-worthy cuts. “The Baddest Man Alive,” which features both The Black Keys and RZA, is one such example. Given the big talent on this track, it’s probably unnecessary for us to convince you to check it out. But just in case, here are two perfect words to describe it: Badass Swag.
We finally have one of the first singles of what could possibly one of the greatest movie soundtracks of all time in RZA‘s The Man With The Iron Fists. The tracklist has had mouths watering for weeks now, as fans eagerly waited for a taste of what’s to come. With original compositions coming from none other than The Wu-Tang Clan, Kanye West, The Black Keys, Wiz Khalifa, and more, it’s easy to see why. “Tick, Tock” definitely sets the tone early on of what to expect with both the film and the soundtrack. As the song begins, the beat easily paints vivid pictures of a typical coyote western film, before seamlessly transitioning into a subtle, meditating oriental backdrop. If you’ve seen the trailer for the upcoming film, you’ll come to understand why the mood changes incidentally like that. It’s easy to imagine the scene that takes place alongside this track: something along the lines of a kung-fu warrior (presumably the man with the iron fists) training for his most epic bout to date, before finally beginning his battle after the conclusion of the song. Pusha T, Raekwon, and Joell Ortiz certainly make an eclectic pairing overall, but they all do an excellent job of setting the mood properly, bringing their own flavor and flair to each fiery verse. It’s an absolute understatement to say that RZA’s done a great job of setting the mood and building the hype for this film thus far.
Definitely make sure to cop the soundtrack for The Man With The Iron Fists, dropping October 23rd, and don’t miss the film in theaters on November 2nd.

It has concluded. Eight wonderful years of the TV SHOW House M.D. ended on a spectacular finale. Before we get to the ending of House Series finale soundtrack (Season 8 Episode 22) titled ‘Everyone Dies”, we have to give some credit to the Special mini doc ‘Swan Song’ featuring a coupe of great tracks from Champion Jack Dupree, The Platters and Caroline Patterson.
Here are the songs from Swan Song in list form (Preshow Special).
John Barry Orchestra – James Bond Theme (From “Dr. No.”)
Champion Jack Dupree – Junker’s Blues by
Caroline Patterson – The Tennessee Waltz
(Footage of the wrap party with Jesse Spencer on violin & Hugh Laurie on piano.)
The Platters – Glory of Love
And finally, iHOUSE MD Soundtracks have always catered that very last moment of the episode where emotions are usually running high. Two outstanding tracks were featured. The first is by the late American rock singer-songwriter Warren Zevon with the heart warming song “Keep Me In Your Heart” playing through the montage. And the very end of the episodes just before we are cut off from the ending credits one last time, was by Louis Prima with the tune titled “Enjoy Yourself”. I have listed them bellow:
It saddens me to say this will be the last Soundtrack post for House, having the series finale “Everyone Dies” (Season 8 Episode 22) come to an end. Life does go one and if the soundtrack taught us anything, is to Enjoy Yourself.
