4th chamber is one of the sickest beats I ever heard in my entire life, just FILTHY SMGDH......the instrumental is currently my ringtone as we speak 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
To me Liquid Swords is the greatest hip hop album of all time. Such a unique yet at the same time classic vibe. Peak lyricism, flows, and concepts. The skits actually work. It's vintage yet futuristic. The songs sound even better in sequence than on their own.
I'm not really into hip-hop much, but my landslide favorite albums in the category are Liquid Swords, Enter the Wu-Tang, and Operation Doomsday. The textures and soundscapes that RZA and DOOM aimed for were hit with precision. Their sounds are both so warm and heavy in their own ways. They were more than just beats. They painted pictures with them in ways I seldom hear in most of the hip-hop I've heard.
I mean once he lost those tracks in the flood he had to improvise quick. Straight genius. I believe it made it that much more appealing cause most didn't realize but subliminally the familiarity of it made it even better.
East Coast producers had the formula. They knew how to sample and add layers to make it their own. That's why, in my opinion, they have so many who are born to do it and not a fan of hip hop and put amateur sounds out that the masses rank so high. The companies that sign artists have directed this down a street of no return. Real music lovers, keep your ears to the ground, and keep listening out for that good shxx!
Liquid Swords, Brooklyn Zoo Pt 2, Duel of The Iron Mic. Rza is a mastermind of his time. If I get time I can add to this legacy because I know all of the guys from my time. I've been studying him for quite some time now. I got ideas with concepts for beats that will put Wu back on top overnight
@@freeasabird6799 It's music either way. Playing an instrument is just arranging notes from scales that have existed since the beginning of music, in a way that you like. Just like sampling is taking audio and applying it to your own vision
I grew up in the Bronx, in the 80's & 90's and I am SO impressed that a younger generation has embraced the art of not only sampling, but discovering and appreciating the roots of the greatest era in Hip Hop!
My favorite wu song ever is probably glaciers of ice. "It'll be like blue and creme" but i remember as a teenager listening to criminology instrumental and smoking and freestyling over that beat for hours. Great times 😊
Only built for Cuban linx is definitely Ray's best effort, but that non-Rza produced second album was straight trash. I never took Ray seriously after that.
@@jacap1sr Sneakers on that album was fire but yeah it was a big let down that I don't think Rae fully recovered from. Still a dope MC but he should have had another classic project at least....
@joeturner9280we found out it was sample?? Aren't almost all beats were constructed by sampling multiple records? This is still one of the hardest beats ever produced.
LAST FEW WU ALBUMS WAS STRAIGHT DlCK HOLE SMH RZA BEATS AINT SHlT TODAY RIGHT NOW. IF THEY WERE HE WOULDA PRODUCED SOME FOR GRISELDA. RZA CANT STAND UP IN 2024
Fucking. Amazing. In an era where they had to dig in crates and just listen to music until they heard something. This man’s ears is a national treasure.
That shit is amazing fam! I listen to the original from time to time and as a producer I never realized RZA used it for two other songs. I’m damn for sure going to remake Protect 2 and 4th just to get in the mind of how he heard and chopped those samples.
This is what sampling is, its no about the sample you found, used or got, its about what you do with it. And this is how pro producers are different than the others, where everyone cant see a sample, they can convert it into a master piece.
RZA definitely belongs in the goat producers list. Everyone knows timbaland and kanye and Pharrell and dre but you gotta give RZA his flowers he's behind almost all wutang songs as well as the solo member's first albums, he truly is the leader of wutang
I have a MPC Live! I wish I would've had it in the early 90s! I'd be a millionaire now! Now that I look back, I wish that I had took up musical engineering. I was born and raised here in Atlanta so by the early 90s, I think that my name would've been known! I caught it too late. Too much competition. I'm waiting to catch the new vibe and master, or come up with a new vibe. Music evolves, so something new will come. I wish that I had my music equipment when dark trap first hit. I had stopped listening to rap for a minute; I was into Jazz and Techno. But when I started hearing those dark trap melodies, I started back listening to it. We down south love hard hitting 808s. When I saw Southside 5 min hookup, and Zay with the MPC, I got both the MPC and a DAW. I use Ableton though. This was 2019. I caught it trap too late. Plus I actually made a wu style beat on Ableton using a sample from the move "Invincible Armor". It was 🔥.
RZA is the goat. One of the best lyricists in the clan and the producer of virtually every wu project
u dont know sht then
Very underrated lyricist!!
Very overrated how he the goat remixing other ppls beats?
@@welovegevelle when did he remix other people's beats?
@@welovegevelle shut up u analog
The fact that RZA is rarely mentioned in the producer GOAT conversation is crazy to me
He is mentioned all the time lol
Constantly mentioned for mad decades even.. his first five years of work holds up as illest producer in Hip Hop for me
Literally everyone has him in their top 5, even top 3
@@MouseR985 not really most ppl say Dr Dre, Premier, Pharrell, Kanye etc. A lot of ppl think Rza can't rap too

Cold ass line
Whole album had quotables
He's the greatest swordsman of the empire
Never noticed it's all one song sampled for three different tracks can't unhear it.
😮Same here! 1nce again. 2023. The Wu keeps amazing me. THE BEST RAP GROUP OF ALL TIME!

It was 3 different samples of one song

True that beat is literally unmatched!
@@williamcapone5457 preach 💯
I saw them live in London last year. They dropped 4th chamber and it sounded amazing.
Protect ya neck II is seriously one of the hardest beats I've heard
It has this super mean muggy aura to it, Had ODB written all over. My top 3 favorite Rza beat.
Yes!
Tha jump off ??
That beat, raw hide, and the beat that comes in at the middle of Baby C’Mon are my top 3 on the album
that beat is better than protect ya neck I imo
4th chamber is my favorite Wu beat
Insane
Factsss
this, Triumph and Breaker Breaker
❤ Muy buen gusto 🎉🎉
"The masquerade is over" is the sample for duel of the iron mic AND who shot ya.
And LL Cool J - Ill Bomb
@@Ginsing88 That's nuts
Saw GZA perform Liquid Swords live, I was less than a foot from him, one of the best experiences of my life and easily the best live gig.
I saw him perform the whole album in LA back in January
@@Cats-Eye Nice, he is amazing live. I live in UK and it was in a small pub with 300 people.
Nice. Im going to see him next month
Liquid Swords one of my favourite songs
RZA was a mastermind!
Still is.
Factsss 🎓✔️
It was that wet!!!!!
Man you really flipped that shit! Never seen anyone expand on Protek ya Neck II or 4th Chamber.
Rza verse on 4th chamber and the beat 😳 to think that was his second or third time using a sample from a previously sampled track
To me Liquid Swords is the greatest hip hop album of all time. Such a unique yet at the same time classic vibe. Peak lyricism, flows, and concepts. The skits actually work. It's vintage yet futuristic. The songs sound even better in sequence than on their own.
When that album dropped It made me feel invincible… I still feel that when its on play.. I agree the greatest hip hop album of all time..

RZA gets 🐐status for this album alone. 🥶🔥
When i was in detention center as a teen I learned how to play the bass guitar and wu tangs "can it be all so simple"
RZA 5yr run is absolutely insane.
Ohhhhh shit!!! Never seen anyone reference or mess with that BK Zoo II 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
That is one of my fave songs from their solo albums.. That beat was crazy.
RZA had the greatest run of any producer in hip hop history
From 93-97 he produced two classic Wu albums and 5 classic solo LPs... That was an incredible run.
Kanye still going
@@joshuajarod1909 Nah he fell off after MBDTF
Liquid Swords has got to be one of the best all time rap songs.
GZA
Liquid Swords has got to be one of the best all-time albums.
But when I swing my sword, they all choppable

That liquid swords is one of the coldest samples and tracks ever.

Protect Ya Neck II is one of the best beats ever!
Protect ya neck 2 was insane!!!!i love it
All of three of these beats are absolute like...surface of the sun level fire.
4th chamber and da mystery of chessboxin' are two of the greatest RZA beats.
My favorite wu song ever is probably glaciers of ice. "It'll be like blue and creme" but i remember as a teenager listening to criminology instrumental and smoking and freestyling over that beat for hours. Great times 😊

Dirt and the Zoo on Protect 2 damn for sure made it the hardest.
@joeturner9280Rzs played the melody from a one note sample buddy. Know what you speak on before you talk.
Protect Ya Neck II The Zoo has always been one of my Top 10 favorite beats, they crew went crazy over it too.
It's a lot easier to dissect beats. Than to create dope, unique, beats that people will like. Much love to RZA!!
