Gravel Pit
Gravel Pit is a single released by the Wu-Tang Clan featuring Paulissa Moorman for their album The W. It was not as popular in the U. S. as other Wu-Tang Clan singles like "C. R. E. A. M." and "Uzi (Pinky Ring)". It did, however, receive major radio play, and topped the music video show 106 and Park for two weeks straight. It is also the Wu-Tang's only Top 40 hit in the UK, peaking at number six. In October 2011, NME placed it at number 116 on its list "150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years". The chorus of the song: "Back, back and forth and forth..." is taken from the funk group Cameo's single "Back And Forth". The hook of the song: "Check out my gravel pit..." is sung by Paulissa Moorman. According to The Wu-Tang Manual the beat for the track was sampled from Antoine Duhamel's soundtrack to a French TV miniseries entitled Belphegor. The song features verses from three of the Wu-Tang Clan's MCs, Method Man, Ghostface Killah and U-God, as well as spoken bits from RZA and Raekwon.

gravel pit
A gravel pit is a type of open-pit mine from which gravel, a type of coarse sand, is extracted. It's typically located in areas where a natural accumulation of rounded rock fragments with a particular size range has occurred due to water or weather processes. The material extracted from the pit is used in construction for tasks such as creating concrete and laying roads.

Gravel pit
Gravel pit is the term for an open cast working for extraction of gravel. Gravel pits often lie in river valleys where the water table is high, so they may naturally fill with water to form ponds or lakes. Old, abandoned gravel pits are normally used either as nature reserves, or as amenity areas for water sports, landfills and walking. In addition, many gravel pits in the United Kingdom have been stocked with freshwater fish such as the common carp to create coarse fishing locations.
