Originally released by Wu-Tang Clan on their debut album Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) in 1993, C.R.E.A.M. stands for Cash Rules Everything Around Me and became one of the group's defining songs. Its soulful piano sample and blunt take on money and survival helped it endure far beyond 1990s hip-hop, finding new life in memes, sports highlights and short-form edits. Decades later, the opening still signals hustle, ambition and street credibility in just a few seconds.

A short clip from Wu-Tang Clan's C.R.E.A.M. with its iconic opening hook, used in money-themed edits, flex moments and hip-hop throwback videos.
This five-second excerpt captures the instantly recognisable opening of Wu-Tang Clan's C.R.E.A.M., built around a sparse, soulful piano loop and a laid-back East Coast groove. The vocals enter with a confident, almost conversational swagger, delivering the song's famous cash-rules-everything hook over a dusty, mid-tempo beat. It sounds gritty and nostalgic rather than polished, which is exactly why it lands so hard in short videos. Even listeners who do not know the full track recognise the mood at once: street-smart, cool and a little defiant, turning an ordinary clip into something that feels like a flex.
