Bang Your Head

Bang Your Head

Gravediggaz

The eleventh track on 6 Feet Deep sports a heavy metal-esque instrumental to go along with the very metal music-like theme – head banging. With the Gravediggaz signature horrorcore style however, the term can certainly take on different meanings than the harmless concert head banging you’re used to…

In an interview, Prince Paul explained how the song concept actually derived from Wu-Tang member U-God’s famous opening verse to Wu-Tang Clan’s Da Mystery of Chessboxin':

That was a beat that I had that I originally recorded as a demo for the Cold Crush Four believe it or not haha. They never put it out and never used it and I still liked the beat so I played it for RZA and Poetic and they liked it. RZA had just been recording “Da Mystery Of Chessboxin’” with Wu-Tang and he came back and he’s like yo for some reason U-God kept on saying “run in to the wall, bang ya head”, so we should call this Bang Ya Head, it has that kinda vibe to it. RZA said it was stuck in his head to use that with this beat. I said “yeah whatever you wanna come up with I’m just glad you wanna use it.” RZA set it off, he came up with the hook, and he showed the guys how he heard the track.
