From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Triumph" is a single released by Wu-Tang Clan, from their 1997 album Wu-Tang Forever. Unusually for a single, the song does not have a chorus. Instead, it solely consists of verses from eight of the nine Wu-Tang members and Cappadonna, as well as an intro by Ol' Dirty Bastard. It is considered one of hip-hop's most famous posse cuts.[citation needed]
The video for the song proved to be very popular. It was directed by Rush Hour director Brett Ratner. The video begins with a fictional breaking news bulletin alerting of a massive swarm of Killer Bees converging on Manhattan via New York City's four other boroughs, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and the Wu's native Staten Island. The news anchorwoman then goes on to reveal that none other than Ol' Dirty Bastard is atop a Manhattan skyscraper surrounded by police helicopters and police with guns drawn, ready to jump and with his finger on a detonator to what is assumed to be a bomb. The anchorwoman then mentions that there just may be a connection between these two seemingly coincidental events.
