RZA looks like a guy who with all his talents and achievments never stops learning. Mad respect.
Without RZA, no Wu Tang Clan, the nigga plan was have every Wu Tang Member to do Solo Albums and he fucking produced all their shit!!
Well he produced all the round 1 albums. Round 2 onwards had less RZA beats and less of that gritty Wu tang feeling.
Rza,4th disciple
,true masta,mathmatics!
Yeah after 97 he barely produced the rest of the debuts. How many RZA beats on Deck's, Cappa's, U-God's, Masta Killa's debuts? 1-2 each? But you can't deny that even those debuts were cult classics even without full RZA production as foundations.
peace to the gods and earths..only 85%like Rae would say some shit against his brotha...rza forms voltron the Wu..trash rules everything around me
RZA: Talks about unity of the earth.
Other black guy: immediately introduces division with Raekwon.
🤔💯
He did too smh
The game?
He did the same thing with Nick cannon about eminem
Youngblood Funk that’s Fuck Up isn’t it, that came from out of no where🤦🏾♂️ 🤷🏾♂️
Rza gave em all a start. What each one does after that is on them. It's the sharpest who excels. He can't help who he is. He's the Razor.
Harry May RZA Razor RZA Razor Sharp!!
I said the same thing. These artists griping like they'd be better off in life if it wasn't for Rza. He made them a platform and beats to become legends, gave them resources and the freedom to work with other labels and producers. Fk more they want? U God said himself Method and Ol DB were in the studio the most, and taking it the most serious. Wouldn't that explain why those 2 had the biggest jump offs out the group?
@Th3Aggr3ssiv3 Cons3rvativ3 Damn right. And that's why they need to quit with the public hate and show some appreciation. Rza's ideas and platform put money in their pockets and made them millionaires when they invested nothing into 36 Chambers. They would be working 9 to 5s or street hustling otherwise. U God said himself he was hustling on the streets, in and out of jail. Rza never disses these dudes publicly. He may have fell off but he had a legendary 5 year run they all ate from to become legends. And I say all this knowing Rza probably got carried away testing his creativity with new equipment and trying to make beats from scratch. But he did his part already and is allowed that. Like you said, if they were that good then they would've blew up after Rza "fell off". Meth and Ol DB made hit records and projects with other labels and artists with the freedom in contract Rza allowed. U God mad because Rza gave him the steak to eat but not the gravy too. And U God was more than free to start an album with dope in house producers like Mathematics, Tru Master and 4th Disciple. And I'm sure Rza would've contributed a beat or 2 and gave a little album guidance had U God started. Fck more these cats want?
@Th3Aggr3ssiv3 Cons3rvativ3 U God taking the bitterness to the next level even worse than Rae
NWA had a similar start except more members weren't content with the spoils of the initial grind, I don't know where else is supposed to go cause honestly they pioneers of it for New York and Staten Island the way they did in the rap game so only they can leave and blaze those paths for tomorrow and...
"the M.C. had an intensity....Bring back that intensity, and we could take a kick drum and just a snare and we could have a hit..." My man knows the formula.
“I’m walking hip hop, I’m living hip hop”. Crazy.
Keep doing what you do RZA, much respect.
I like the way Rza thinks
The guy is an idiot. What does that make you...
He sounds DUMB AS HELL.
He's one of them dudes that tries to sound smart and to idiots like you, he does.
Fact is he's not very bright and just regurgitates absolute nonsense.
LEFT HOOK LARRY rza could cut you down with words so easy buddy. keep your ignorant opinions to yourself
J Dubb same here, you should check out his five year plan that made them all famous , it’s motivational
LEFT HOOK LARRY if he’s DUMB AS HELL, do what he did...dummy, hating ass bitch.
I wouldn’t say a diss I feel like this is disagreement between brothers
Absolutely. 💯
T.C 💯✅❤️
Once you make it public it's a diss
You don't make a disagreement with your brother public. That's disrespect. That published magazine is gonna be here forever. Rae was definitely being disrespectful by saying what he said.
@@riothe1 you a fucking idiot alot of people in groups disagree with thier partners but u never hear from it until a youtuber or journalist makes it look that way.how is asking to change the game plan a diss?
RZA is a badass genius...this speech caked it
Rza is forever hip hop. He has also evolved. Nothing wrong with that.
Nah it's not the same he doesn't have that magic anymore
That's what it is yo!...reakwon may b still at the same level as back then!
Hip Hop is all about evolving.
Hop is a form of movement. Being HIP is about being in the know, understanding what’s new, being intelligent.
Hip Hop is New Intelligent Movement. Intelligent Movement. New Movement. Thus, it is all about growth/change.
Thank KRS1 for this insight.[+]
One of the best producers of all times
Gravediggaz
This man made 36 chambers , Wu tang forever , OB4CL , iron man , liquid swords , tical
Joshua Ortiz what a resume
I don’t think he did much on iron man
@@donjonesmusic860 He did half or more on Ironman
@@donjonesmusic860 My apologies the Rza actually produced every single solitary track on Ghost Face Killah's Iron Man, with the exception of one produced by True Masta and I should have known that
also note he did the production on every album back to back to back there was no time where he rested in betwee
RZA is a Living Legend !!!! Point Blank, Period !!!!
Meet me on the ES I'm fully with the BS BELIEVE DAT
RZA believes that if we as Blackmen dress more appropriate, we wouldn't be attacked by the pigs and so forth.... He lost all respect when he said that in an interview! Just like a snitch would should one become known of being such!
@@NaturalZBey That's your lasting memory of RZA? Don't short change yourself Fam..
@@NaturalZBey rza that dude
He made a few good beats back in the days, but after that, nothing good. Raekwon is right. He's a good rapper, but as a producer, there are a lot better than him.
RZA: I am HIP HOP, IM WALKING HIP HOP.
A hip hop Sell out unlike odb. And I love Rza. But facts are facts. This dude became lame. Best producer in the game tho.
@@andysalazar880
🤦🏿♂️ You don't even make sense, he's lame but the best producer in the game? Huh! 🛑IT
@@andysalazar880 lmao Did he just say he's a sellout? Lol the guy produced mass amounts of music and did hundreds of albums. Let him follow his dreams
Actually just cuz you got skills doesnt make you a good person.
@@andysalazar880 that doesn't matter when it comes to hip hop. Kanye west is an asshole. But he is still apart of the cultute
I give a round of applause for this gentleman's final comment
He really sound like he rappin while he talk lmao
I thought it was just me 😂
RZA is an example of growing up. Respect to all of the other Wu Tang members but shit, they need to grow up like RZA is doing.
Yup
Who needs to “grow up”? I’m genuinely curious.
How has/have Method Man/GhostFace/Raekwon/Masta Killa/Deck and/or GZA !Not grown up? [+]
@@elplebeuchiha1996 bruh chill
@@doomile6903 he’s just saying man. you can’t be saying they didn’t grow up because they did they learned and they know how
They're brothers and they're going to fight amongst themselves, but they always come back together.
In the 1st 10 seconds he gives props to GZA.
This man is honorable. He lives by the code.
Living hip hop.
I love how humble yet confident RZA is. He didn't even seem phased by Rae. Perhaps he knows he means no disrespect. The difference between a boss and a soldier.
Nah. He seemed a little bit upset, but he definitely kept his cool for the most part. His micro expressions are telling tho. Like always, for all of us, frankly. [+]
rza is my all time favourite producer - without wisdom there is no gain
L
Yeah but he’s East Coast though Ugh
RZA is a knowledgeable old school G not only is he a very intellectual individual he is a very successful men knowledge of self is something that a lot of ppl disregard but not him he has embrace it and has mastered it💯
It's not only the beat that makes a good song.. it's the MC that makes the song look good!!
This man is a legend! One of the greatest in hip hop to ever do it
Rza was droppin mad knowledge, then they have too bring up some stupid drama
Well, because of them bringing up that dumb beef....it was the reason that brought on RZA to say the most knowledgeable thing in the whole video, at the end tbh
Tyrone Shoelaces as usual
if that was a mad knowledge to you, and not something you are brought up knowing, then thats why u livinig in dump country
Hannibal Barka Knowledge speaks. While wisdom listens.
Rza is knowledge and in my opinion is the best rapper, he is not just only a king beat maker . Mans got vibes . Fkn legend in my eyesight . Peace ✌️
Much respect and salute to RZA & Raekwon. Hip-hop has to grow beyond music..
I respect Raekwon for being real and outspoken, but at the end of the day you have to respect the one that put you on from day 1.
Actual and factual
Bro what's good with the guitar playing and singing you do? Saw your video post on your TH-cam.
#FACTS 💯💢💥💣
Look just because a person did something for you don’t mean you just let them shit on you
Seen Raekwon give him props many times
The issue is that pop rap has become dominant and kids don't care about REAL Hip Hop
Who get to decide what real hip hop is?
Trap Muzik People think conscious rap was ever top tier popular. It never was lmfao. Tupac and Biggie had conscious rap music, but their biggest hits were braggadocio and about spending money
@@16montana24kobe you don't no shit kid conscious Rap was the big act In hip hop underground was everything that wasn't conscious you was born after that during the pop era that boondocks Avi says it all quit talking about shit u don't know an you wasn't around when Me against the world came out I can tell PAC never glorified bullshit u a pop fan keep it like that u dress wearing lil white kid
@@trapmuzik6708 not the 2dork ass white boys that commented under u
Hip hop is a culture based on 4 pillars...not just a genre
Watching the show it’s amazing what this man did.. bringing a bunch of rivalries together to form an unstoppable force... RZA deserves a Noble Prize
The RZA is and always will be a hip hop legend. Haters gonna hate even from within the honey comb.
Last time RZA bought a suit was in 1994 for the Source awards.
Seems like he wore it for this interview too.
🤣👏🏾
Bro, that was the whole entire point of his comment...
R/WHOOSH
Respect to RZA
Raekwon sounds weak in that quote. It's like he's dependant on RZA to make something happen for him.
I think he meant that not as an solo artist, but as a member of wu tang. He doesnt directly depends on rza but the clan depends on him to change, adept, improve and evolve. However this being the case i understand why he said that but i still dont agree with raekwon though.
Not true rae been moved on smh and he made solid albums without rza lol
Raekwon ain't shit without RZA. Facts lol sorry not sorry smh
Nah. It’s just that Raekwon, at the time, as well as other members didn’t agree with the direction RZA was taking for Wu. [+]
RZA was controlling the production of all the Wu Tang albums. They weren’t feeling that and wanted something new. He was too controlling and not democratic on how the albums were sounding
Rza came outta this looking beast
he killed it and didnt even rap it
RZA is my shit. His body of work speaks for itself, legendary.
Much respect to you RZA. I think you are a genius. I love a lot of your works.
4:30 What RZA said is the truth. They could make a hit with the simplest inredients but all they need is to really come together and work towards a common goal.
they were both right ... rza beats went left & too much slang & not enough lyrics can be a bad thing
You don't even need to go to summer school anymore.
That was a classic line. "You don't even gotta go to summer school this year, just pick up the Wu Tang double CD, and you'll get all the education you need this year"
See that "W"? that's that Wisdom, Universal Truth, of Allah's Nation of Gods.
mc365mc
Don't bring religion into that, especially not some fake pig god.
+Wuzit Tooya Dude shuttup. Their whole music career was influenced by religion/religions.
The 5% Nation is not a religion. It's philosophy, and life lessons. The lessons are Natural Sciences Facts mixed together with Numerology, Psonix, and Mythology. 5%ers do not believe in the existence of deities. The islamic references are only in honor of the Arabic language since modern mathematics has it's origins in Egypt and Babylon. Thus the language of math is Arabic and accordingly the 5%ers sprinkle arabic throughout their lessons since they call their Numerology system "Supreme Mathematics"
Allah is an acronym for man "Arm, Leg, Leg, Arm, Head"
+Wuzit Tooya THATS THE QUOTE THE RZA SAYS IN A SONG ON WUTANG FOREVER you goof. in its entirety. get wu outta your name and stop putting religions down too
can't believe Raekwon said that.... Scoring kill bill alone is a life achievement.
sounds like someone is a little jealous.
Dee Louis no. All the Wu feels this way, because it's true. Since he went Hollywood, their albums have been weak. Not lyrically, but production wise.
You are 100% accurate man
Iron Man you trying to tell me that 2017 wu tang wasn’t nice?
Rza will not make a hit record for the rest of his life so yea he's out of touch with today's music
@@trapmuzik6708 Clearly you are a 100% undebatable unequivocal stupid idiot, that knows nothing about the hip hop industry or Wu-Tang in general...I would give your dumb ass 20 to 1 odds that's how delusional you are
“The earf is the home of all of us” 🤯
RZA is still gettin rings. Scoring bad ass projects like Afro Samurai amd Samurai Shamploo, just to name two of my favorites scored films... I love the chef so no disrespect but im not seeing his name on new joints. Almost every single year RZA is attached to some bad ass project. Still running hard in 19. RZA is the sound im dropping modded mixed in my fallout radio station. RZA is bringing the sound of shaolin that moves my soul. I'll buzz with the swarm till death and thats due to RZA finding my beats, my soul. Im a white, now man once child, grew up in a black world... RZA took me into the world he created, brought me to the temple and helped mold my opinion of world united people. For me it was always the sound, the beats behind the rhymes that gave me wings and lifted my spirit to a higher standard of living and thinking. RZA is a king not some has been couch. They placed the stone path that leads to the temple doors, he built the temple... you can take what lesson you perceive but some people just learn the way of the fist and never understand the path to enlightenment lies beyond physical bindings.
After proving yourself countless times over, you no longer have anything left to prove. If you choose to do something outside of your norm because that's what your soul demands of you, then so be it. RZA is a legend and no one can change that. Point blank!
I always wondered why GZA wasn't the leader, but I get it now. He taught the motivated, and sat back to observe. Isn't this the historical pattern?
GZA?? LoL
You are brilliant my man. Dope!!!
It’s almost like if they were voltron, GZA would be the head.
I agree with Chef. Rza is doing things outside of hip hop and that's not a bad thing. It's not the 90s anymore.
No dissing here Chef spoke his peace....and as a NATURAL BORN LEADER RZA took the opportunity to spread wisdom and knowledge to his team. When he could have been negative towards the comment🤷🏾♂️. - Wu Tang Forever
Nicest way the see the quarrel
So true what he said
Your analysis is nothing short of beautiful. I see the Rza in you
EP BEATS 💯
RZA, the pioneer of a rap movement that changed the world! Living legend!
0:45 he pushed them glasses up like an anime character
rza is mad deep son... maybe he's just too deep for some cats...
Art Aguilera it's sun not son stupid.
He 'sounds' deep, that's it.
@@High_Lord_Of_Terra He's obviously "deep" enough to become a millionaire and music legend without coming from a rich family. Please tell us about all the legacy and wealth you have from being able to recognize how "non deep" he is. I'll wait
mafoota someone doesnt read his lyrics.
@@BrooklynRival7718 who are you? U aint even worth the paper plates that prisoners eat pork on
They were misconstruing what Raekwon was trying to say. Rae wasn't dissing Rza, he just had a disagreement with the direction that Rza was trying to go in on that particular WU-Tang project. A disagreement does not always mean disrespect.
His score for Ghost Dog was genius.He's had some very good roles in movies. I root for him every time he beat the odds just like Ice Cube.
I don't think raekwon far off the mark with that statement
truth.....
cream8701 neither is rza
Because you're just as immature as he is. RZA has grown up; Raekwon hasnt.
RZA is old now. He can't and shouldn't be trying to compete with 19 year olds anymore.
@@bern9642 lol he isn't though
I love it. RZA didn't even take it as a diss. Just an opinion. Everything he said is all love. And he's right. Bring back that intensity. We need that! Today the supposedly most hardcore rappers are lame, cookie-cutter copies of cartoons.
The Rza has not aged in 30 years he looks the same.
BASICALLY RZA IS SAYING HOLLA @ ME, I'M READY!
(Disclaimer: I'm a Rae fan, pretty much got all this songs on my player.)
You could easily say the same thing about Raekwon. He's still spittin' the same raps, still rockin' the same tracks (which are still hot). Raekwon is still talkin' about '87 when I doubt he's been a thug in atleast 15 yrs while RZA is moving on in life & making progress. Raekwon is way off on this IMO.
+Jason McMeathead lol I would say he hasn't been a street dude in over 20 years
Met the wu backstage & RZA was the most chill and easiest to talk too. Raekwon had a huge ego
Lol, RZA up there talking about supreme alphabets and shit. If Raekwon has a bigger ego than this guy it should be documented.
Jason McMeathead r
R
@@GangStarr4life96 same when i met them. Meth and RZA seemed easy to talk to. GZA was so quiet i didn't even know who he was. Rae seemed like he was trying to impress people that were already impressed .
A Genius in his own right
Man said “I’m not attached to hip hop…I am hip hop”…he’s right.
"I'm walking Hip-hop, I'm living Hip-hop." - Rza
Realest shit ever.
Even tho Rza has on a Steve Harvey suit im tired of the other members disrespecting him
lol
Still forever and for always The Rza is that dude✨💯✨🐋👽
We never going to see RZArector again are we.
naw g...we not!
It's G......U Shot since everybody in the group has been shot.
cockroachafro RZArectah is one of my favourite personas but that shit was just 1993 to 1995 basically... Just put the first Gravediggaz album on repeat, that shit is gold anyway.
Not with that hairline jk.
Best era was the gravediggaz era. Rza has doper rhymes and flows back then
RZA does not need to explain why he is and will always be Hiphop ROYALTY. He’s the President of WuTang clan bruh!!!
The RZArector!!!!!!!!!
He's obviously a genius
Peace to the Rza and his journey!!
God I love this man! if any artists out there are reading this comment, no matter what art from you have passion for, go to the intro of the second disk of triumph and do what rza says. you'll be just fine.
Ghostface GOAT imo
+Chad Hook I gave you a thumbs up for my crazy friends who would agree lol
We are a crazy group
Would love to see a conversation between with KRS-1, RZA, Rakim, & the Roots.
I love how RZA said I Am Hip Hop. RZA never changed. His mission has always been the same to me. You could pull up interviews from the early 90s and the only difference now is he wears suits now.
let us not forget, ooh we love you Rakeem
Real talk from one of the GODZ in Rap
One clever dude man,what a nice man too
It’s called natural progression! I salut him for developing himself and his skills further! Sky ain’t the limit! Keep rising my Negus, keep shining! 🙌🏾✊🏾
RzA is very underrated
This man is different different in a good way..a genious i would say...there is no wu tang without him...mastermind
Wow, watching this and seeing the show. Damn, evolution is crazy’.
Rza slayed this interview !
Thats why he is the RZA👍
That suit screams hip hop
LOL
It does think about it thats what most of the people of when hiphop was hiphop are dressed now with real jobs and families 30s late 40s lol smh think about it
Or screams I gotta go to court lol.
@@CarlosTorres-oe5ey or a funeral
It screams his age
This is so true on so many levels. MCs now have no intensity, as a matter of fact they’ve become the opposite. Lazy spits sounding like they’re falling asleep at the mic. Weak rhymes and garbage beats plagued hip hop over the last handful of years
There are no mcs now....only rappers
1 of the best producers of ALL time!
In my opinion RZA and primo are the greatest producers of all time
Jdilla also top 3 with no doubt
Seriously... WHY do artist who's career suddenly come to an abrupt stop always seem to get pissed or develop JEALOUSY toward those who's career continue to move upward (WHY... seriously)??? For Raekwon to make that statement makes him look petty as f**k. It's not RZA's fault that Rae can't move units even if he gave them away. People forget that music has and will always be a MATTER OF PERSONAL TASTE (meaning some people will like your work and some won't), and the fact that RZA continues to get hired to score movies, animation, produce beats for some of today's top artist (nationally and abroad) means there are still plenty people out there that are feeling what he's doing, and the fact that the only time anyone bothers to pay attention to anything Raekwon has to say these days is when he's speaking RZA's name is proof that RZA is still very much relevant and "attached to the game" that his lame ass clearly still wants to play in. #QuitHatinWitchyoHatinAss
totally agree! maybe Rae needs to look in the mirror for the problem, if we remember his next 2 albums after the Purple Tape were weak as hell, I have lost a lot of respect for Rae for this and his 8 Diagrams dis, which is a classic to me.... it's especially annoying to hear from an artist that has complete freedom to make solo albums... if you got such a problem with the RZAs direction, just focus on making your solo albums and shut the f*** up
chronos127 RIGHT!!!
+chronos127 the statements were made before the album a better tomorrow...it was due to raekwon being frustrated with wutangs direction as of late...the fans have been frustrated too...he just wants to make another classic wu album...hes frustrated
Axle Prose So HE should make one then. RZA isn't the only member of Wu that produce the groups music - he's just the most known producer in the group, but they all produce (including Raekwon), and like that old saying goes... "if you want something done right, DO IT YOURSELF (or stfu).
Luis Cabrera raekwon went to dr dre for beats wtf i wanna hear some wu gambino shit none of that orchestra from dre with raekwons lyrics its not the sound i wanna hear some fuckn swords in the background
Earf day.
thats what i was thinking too ! ha !! that supreme knowledge didnt correct his grammar !
thegreatonecometh200 people have different accents. People from Britian, who speak real English, pronounce their words differently as well.
Damien Demento 😂😂😂
His annunciation was not his concern. His awareness of self and his money were. He's on this earf living better than you on this Earth
I think Rza may have a slight speach impediment, but it doesn't take away from the knowledge he was kicking. I will say it even gives his raps a unique sound, no body else sounds like the Rza period.
RZA Net Worth - RZA is an American producer, rapper, author and director
who has a net worth of $18 million. RZA has earned his net worth
through his career as a rapper, producer, and actor.
We need to support not try to shame each other.
Raekwon humble yourself down and just follow along with rza even tho things look corny sometimes. Legends always find a way to mess up their legacy I tell u... even Michael Jordan went to the wizards and didn't have the KNOWLEDGE to retire a Bull and so it was
dope response rza, way to keep your head.
RZA seems like a good speaker!
Deep. Most definitely deep....Much love to all the real hip hop artist out there.
True and Living. Knowledge-Culture!!!
I was lucky enough to work with RZA on "Californication" a few times. Man is mad talented. He was literally playing chess in-between scenes!!!! Haha
My god his answer is so on point, specially the last few words.
2019 Wutangclan Forever
In the movie I said Cash Rules Everything Around Me!! That's what I do for hip-hop now.
Yea....that shit was weak.
What he was saying was, He’s carried hip hop, and The Whole WU with him. Even to the movies. So he’s never unattached with it. Think about any film he’s done production on, acted in or scored for. He brought hip hop and tha W right with him and incorporated it in it for the world to absorb. And he’s done that from the very beginning. THE CLAN had to be THE first Hip Hop group to make a GLOBAL impact. 2 PAC caught the Globe 🌎 but Wu Tang had the Globe 🌏First
RZA is not a envious child. RZA is a Man.
Salute to RZA💯
I understand what rza is saying and these are all very noble sentiments about everybody being in unity,no borders etc...unfortunately humans are just not at that stage in their development where everyone can get along,too many cultures want to push their ideaology and way of life on to others and be unaccepting of others beliefs.Maybe in the future of mankind it can be possible but as we stand now,no chance.
Or maybe the aliens will come/comeback abd determine that hunans arent worthy and destroy us
Never.
Man there's so much you don't know about the universe.
But the original comment is spot on.
The World won't reach enlightenment collectively, until everyone has done a few lifes on here until they got it right. You ain't going beyond this Earth until you become a better person (soul). Until you finally reach enlightenment.
And anyway, is it really hard to just become a better person and nice to people??
