Black Keys-RZA collab for ST of The Man With the Iron Fists

THAT’S GOTTA HURT: Wu-Tang leader RZA looked outside his group for help on some of the songs for the soundtrack to his kung fu movie The Man With the Iron Fists (which opens Nov. 3), hooking up with The Black Keys for "The Baddest Man Alive," echoing Blakroc, the Keys’ 2009 album of collabs with hip-hop artists. The just-posted video portrays the three of them mixing it up in a manner that martial arts masters would likely find inelegant, as the vibe gradually morphs from Bruce Lee to the Three Stooges. Pretty silly, but the track, which features RZA in a rap that starts just before the two-minute mark, is, um, badass. The soundtrack album, also featuring Kanye West, Wiz Khalifa, Talib Kweli, Ghostface Killah, Pusha T, Raekwon and Wu-Tang, hits today on RZA’s new Soul Temple label, distributed by RED. (10/23a)
