SEMTEX TV - Rza talks on Raekwon & Ghostface [Part 2 of 3]

[easydp]

@kingshadowstar of course its a real package, 8 diagrams its a great album start to finish. sounds like youre swayed by the general opinion to me. no track on there is whole skipping on there. the sound in the cans is amazing

[Italblessings]

Big up Semtex - nice to see an interviewer (and dope DJ btw) asking proper and intelligent questions.

Wu tang forever.

[Chronos127]

One of hip-hop's best students,,,I loved the part were he's talkin like "when the Wu-Tang flag goes up like the bat signal,,,,I can just see all the clan members respondin like superheros ,,,Dennis Coles is mackin on a bitch and he sees the W in the sky and Ghost hops in the whip and he's out, etc etc, lol,,,,8 Diagrams is great! No complaints ,,,I've felt the same way that , its one thing to have the opinion but keep it in the clan

[pitolove71]

And RZA made most of his other money by producing the Kill Bill film score. Then he started acting & doing film scores for movies, he started doing other projects & that's how he got all that cake now. So the other Wu-Brothers think they should get a piece of that money when they didn't put anything in that, no work whatsoever. Sorry, you my boy & I will bless you but I ain't gonna give you ALL my shit. Get yours like I got mine. So now he's a crab & niggas want shit given to them. RZA aint HT.

[pitolove71]

Here's the thing...RZA gets more money through royalties & the way his contract is...He gets Executive Producer credits, Music Production Credits, Writing Credits, & other forms of royalties. So they seeing that RZA was smart & now they want to reep the benefits without putting in the work. They only write a verse & rap a few bars...so if they get a million should it be divided equally? Or should those who put most work get paid according to their fruits? Right is right & RZA is righteous.

[gbreppin]

I THINK RZA WAS STEALING WU TANG CLAN MONEY....SOMEBODY ONCE TOLD ME....IF EVERYBODY SAYING THE SAMETHING ABOUT U.....IT MUST BE TRUE

[Justice777Allah]

@gbreppin u funny Sun. You believe everything u hear? Everybody once said the earth was flat, if u were alive then you would believe that too wouldn't u? I don't know if that is true or not if the man stole money from the clan, what I do know is RZA's brother is the manager of the Wu and he is the one the Gods have beef with. Believe half of what u see and none of what u hear, never condemn someone without facts.

[gbreppin]

@Justice777Allah dat brings me back to m y original statement,, if everyone saying the samething about u, it must be true

[Anngirly]

yea word up easy mo bee is da shit 4 real one of the greatest producers, he worked with the best mcs in the game, cool that he did sth for wu now

[2271065]

rza is the best, he's smart, u no? like he dont do any steelin shit, ghost and rae are mad lame for talkin shit, even if the rza did steel money, the wutang is stronga den that..

[RAZZLE69DAZZLE69]

8 Diagrams >The W

The W is a horrible CD.

#1. 36 Chambers

#2. Wu Forever

#3. 8 Diagrams

[mrcheereo]

dissagree. The w was tight too. BUT....I do agree that it was there least best album.

[microcrubeguy]

BOBBY STEELS IS VERY WISE

[esak1r]

no one can tell me that campfire, wolves, rushing elephants, stick me for my riches and weakspot aren't awesome tracks. 8 diagrams is fire, don't worry most oe ya'll will inderstand it in like 10 years.

[mrcheereo]

exactly! the album is sick. and definately better then 90% of the shit that came our that year.

[bG3aZu3bLaZe3]

@esak1r deck murdered it on unpredictable

[tweak114]

@esak1r lol

[FuturedaveyP]

@esak1r I loved it on its release and still do. Loving that cuban linxs 2 too. THere's not much Wu i dont like - mainly the mix tapes with J-Love shouting too loud all over them saying his stupid name over and over- oh man, spoil the music why dont you.

[kingshadowstar]

@esak1r You gotta pick them tracks out the CD though dude, the thing with 8 Diagrams is that...it ain't a real package for real. If anything it feels closer to Iron Flag.

[kingshadowstar]

[3gizzal]

8 diagram was classic the others didnt see the vision...they wont understand the 8 diagram until 2015 niggas still catching up 2 forever

[bertfreez]

ok rza fucked up 8 diagrams....dont akt like they still aint the best group?.....cuban linx 2 comin rza gonna redeem himself on that joint.....check out bitch gonna get ya on the afro samurai ressurection cd......he still got it

[vonversace]

I HAVE madd respect for BOBBY DIGILTAL

[twiztidlestat]

EVERYBODY has stolen from the Rza, Puffy, Kanye, (AT least Kanye admitted it)

Rza changed his style because its HIS STYLE. Rza is the best producer in the game

[spinfinite07]

Rza is cool man, Easy Mo a legend especially with Pac

[oniwabon]

thats what was ill. if you had a machine that only recorded that little amount of a sample you had no choice but to use the best part of the sample.

[oniwabon]

thats wats up. to those that dont know easy mo was biggie producer and wat rza said about bring the pain was real when i heard that shit i was like 12 or 11 but i recognized i never heard a beat like that and it would change the game.

[itachiyates]

are you serious. did you hear digi snacks. complete bullshit. two good tracks. rza is out dude and i hate to say that cause im a huge wu fan. but dont keep lying to yourselves with this "they are experimenting, they are growing" no they are putting out euro bullshit. im glad euro heads accept that shit but over here i need real ass hip hop. is it that hard to produce a beat you can bop to. damn. production is so corny right now i cant stand it.

[yoitsgiook]

There are gems on 8 diagrams. Don't sleep. RZA was truly trying to do new things and I respect that. That's what being an artist is all about.

[twiztidlestat]

Exactly, Whats killing me is that the Wu, besides Masta Killa, Meth, Rza and Gza are the ONLY one spitting knowledge anymore in the clan. And any REAL wu fans knows what I mean, even in Interviews like this one, Rza STILL is dropping jewels and people are listening to media hype

[RAZZLE69DAZZLE69]

Dunno bout Meth in that list.

Def agree with Rza, Gza and Masta Killa having the deepest lyrics and still dropping knowledge.

Im kinda starting to feel like Rza has sold out tbh :( For me, once i see someone in a mainstream movie (something liek that) its over for their street cred.

[mrcheereo]

That's the dumbest shit I ever heard. So if a nigga been in the streets all his life and then do a tv show or movie its over....? yea right. How the fuck has the nigga sold out by doing afro samuria, ghost dog, Kill Bill etc....havent u realized they r all involving martial arts. Thats how Wu came out for Chrict sake. They were always about the martial arts. He's expanding. What? The nigga supose to do the same thing his whole life and never grow?

[1TigerBruce]

@mrcheereo so true,if you not being hood enough,everybody say your soft,fuck hat get that doe.

[castedynasty]

i think 8 diagrams is a good album and with time it will be considered a classic. True hip hop is like the best wine it matures with time and captures the essence of the time...trust me hip hop is music like no other...wolves, the heart gently weeps

shouts out to ugod, deck, masta killa, meth on this album

[twiztidlestat]

How is this comment getting thumbs down? I dont get it? Its truth

[yoitsgiook]

I don't get it either. cats are just close-minded. If you do the same old music, people will get tired. If you try something new they hate it. So what's one to do as an artist. You can please everyone, just gotta do you and that's what's important.

[twiztidlestat]

DEFINITELY, Rza has ADDED to his style, Not changed. He still samples, just not as much. How dare people knock that hes learning instruments and playing his own stuff. Thats ridiculous.

Rza is STILL the most innovative and unique producer ever

[killabeez108]

cant agree more

[drumatic]

YEAH -- MAD SHOUT OUT to the SP1200...950 and fukkin' EASY MO BEE another king of the SP! ++ DRUMAT!C.1

[stuckinthetrees]

"I was a great student, thats why I became a great master."

Rza!!!

[godbody08]

that nigga rza lost his mothafuckin mind...dat nigga let money change his style of music up...you wack now homie...you dont need ur crew no more so you makin any damn thing now

[cuntbreathe]

The Abbot is the truth. do the knowledge. much respect to the Rza n the Wu.

[brollyknuckles]

8 Diagrams is not a classic so stop saying it. Its the most worst clan album to date.

[goluckyme]

you must've skipped iron flag.

8 Diagrams even on its worst date, was prod. wise ahead of most of the music that came out in 2007

[kayode29]

It wasn't that bad man. lol, Campfire was dope, Take it back was cool. Meth and Ghost was on fire. It has some joints. This album is still better then a lot of shit thats out now. Wack or Not.

[yoitsgiook]

I agree with you 100%

[raventakayama]

Wolves alone made me consider the album to be a classic. Its ah great album. WTF yall listening to?

[mackmain2000]

bobby digital

[gangrelated420]

fuck i wish RZA produced big doe rehad and shit

ghost is da fuckin shit

[mickeymirrorz]

Ghost is the most consistent out of all them niggaz.Mad flows,mad storytelling and crazy truck jewellry! Old skool soldier fa' real

[natedig23]

The gun will go = Mastsa Killa Killed it

[subconsciousn3ss]

RZA I need a producer...

[castedynasty]

@subconsciousn3ss

[peticco]

RZA is a true legend

[Dailladelphian]

The abbot is master

[earlgee]

[Khalil86]

Very inspiring words from RZA.
