"Bring the Pain" is a song recorded by the rap artist Method Man. It was the first single released from his debut album Tical. Comedian Chris Rock named his 1996 tour and television special "Bring the Pain" after this song. Method Man is credited in the special's closing credits. Industrial music band Mindless Self Indulgence covered it for their single "Bring the Pain/Tornado", and on their now out of print album, Tight. The beat was sampled by Timbaland for a song of the same name on Missy Elliott's Under Construction, which features Method Man. This single has been hailed a classic by many Wu- Tang fans because of its dark and reggae- influenced beat and because of Method Man's strong lyricism. The opening bar (I came to bring the pain/ Hardcore from the brain/ Lets go inside my astral plane) has been deemed a classic line by many die- hard Wu-Tang fans. Also, Tupac showed his support for Wu-Tang by sampling this opening line on his 1996 classic All Eyez on Me on the track No More Pain.
