RZA and the Legend of the Replicator

[hiphoplivs]

He actually did invest in the replicator. He also went through a legal battle with numark/final scratch about it.

[SotNist]

i remember hearing about RZA producing a new kind of turn table as early as '99

[dariusbilc]

I believe in RZA!

[OnlyRawAudio]

I believe he invented it, RZA's way of thinking is far more advance then the average person, Why do you think Wu-tang became so big?

[whatdaphuxxx]

PEACE!!! It shouldn't be that hard to believe he helped contribute to the invention of the Replicator. After all, if you know Hip Hop's history, Grandmaster Flash is responsible for inventing something as well... the "Crossfader"! He has no advantage in lying about it. Besides lying bout shit ain't the Wu way! RZA's mind is Razor sharp, respect sun's Ability!

[ShynAwkward]

I invented the RZA .....real talk...

[thecallipygiousone]

What if your favourite star was a compulsive lier?

[smeerios]

Honestly, RZA is such an untouchable godlike diety of hip-hop, that he doesnt need to make up stories to prove his influence upon it. RZA has enough belts to step out of the ring and be immortal. why would he build one?

[armand111]

lol we had to use a steering wheel

[harpdog7575]

who the hell is this guy to make fun of the rza? wu forever!

[huntedrasta]

this is such a great vid mr smooth

[NWOpartycrasher]

Yeah Rza did that no doubt

[denoizer]

bAD FAKE!!!

[ashley110188]

love the spit take!!!!!!!!!

[Q43r]

Rza ftw

[MrNemy86]

The look he has when he pressed the wallet (1:28) is priceless.LOL

[ChimpinApeEasy]

RZA please.

[Hotobu]

Maybe RZA did invent it. Get off his cloud. You don't know him and you don't know his style.

[itstrbo]

hahaha

[Defiantstyles]

@Hotobu I see he's using an old style

[doctorsizzle]

just why is it impossible to believe that RZA had anything to do with the creation of this device?

i mean if someone's gonna design it, then create it...who's got the idea and it's intended use.

so you're saying that it makes more sense for some genius to conceptualize, design, and create a device...and the end user is a DJ or someone who wishes to mix music.

the idea more than likely would have to know the end user first...the customer.

[urlocalSAVAGE]

O shit, never listen to RZA he's a fuckin problem, everybody in Wu-tang is a fuckin problem.

[Tzaosirus7]

What the fuck you on about>???

[GuitarGirlTS9]

Good stuff. I remember hearing about early versions of Serato and Final Scratch in the late 90s. They had to use a BeOS partition and other weird things. From that point on I knew it was inevitable that digital vinyl was the real thing. RZA is like a prophet.

[TheStoicAgnostic]

he exaggerates a bit saying he invented it and

then says he met the guy that invented it 97

maybe vinyl emulation copied the idea

but still

what RZA is talking about is not the same and i'd like to try it

he's saying it's some kind of device not connected to comp. which I imagine can sample sounds

serato is cool for being able to use as much as you can hold on your computer and mixing and juggling and most scratching

but the stabs

it can't handle stabs

this annoys me

[Gooderz21]

"we built a supercollidor in U-God's basement"

ROFL

[xDJxDELINQUENTx]

The RZA ROCKS YOU BASTARD!

[teawead]

you didn't watch the whole video didn't you?

[Lokifan13]

LMAO! You're too adorable, man, I hope it's true!

[musicwillsaveme]

This guy is too much...lol he's too funny...

[smokelahorigi]

Serato Audio Research was founded in 1998 by Stephen West and AJ Bertenshaw in Auckland, New Zealand.

In 1999, they commanded the attention of the world stage with the release of the high quality time-stretching and pitch-shifting AudioSuite software plug-in for the Pro Tools platform called Pitch n Time. The plug-in was highly successful and quickly became an industry standard.

Serato continued to impress release of the vinyl emulation software, Scratch LIVE in 2004.

rza made?made up tells..

[fkylw]

he said he was talking to someone about it in 97... so maybe they created it after him. Listen to what he says again.

[smokelahorigi]

heheheh naive as fuk wateva dude rza did lie big time onthat video

anotha level heheheheh wat a joke

[XDaC09]

lolz 'protect ya neck'

[dubie86]

a man didnt know who you were until joe budden shouted you out on his blog, but i do now n i enjoy your mental, be safe

[flaco3188]

lol.

I always thought rza was on another level, like there was somethin to the dude.

when I was like thirteen i just thought he was bs'in and whatnot.

Now I'm 20 and not for nothin, I ain't religious, but if Rza came out with his own religion, I'd follow. He's crazy..in a good way. Always thinkin on the outside. And he always tells stories madd funny.

lol

[jpicker13]

The cat in the back round at the begining XD

[GeniusesneedLOVEtoo]

funny shit ever?

"we built a Super collider in Ugod's Basement" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[DJCasanovaToronto]

LMAO!

Bro, that was a totally funny and awesome video! I loved the last part..."one day you're all gonna see, wa wa wa one day you're all gonna see.." LOL.

subscription added!

:)

[willywonka091]

hahahha to call someone a faggot for that is astonishing. hahah it made me laugh though.

[lydellb]

Seriously, some people say shit like that just to throw it in...

[jpicker13]

Ok they didn't know how to spell it... get over it and grow up no one says faggot anymore, it's offensive, rude, and childish... seriously

[freshwala]

hahahah big up rza,

but this vid funny still.

[snoflocoslolofco]

100 percent truth. Unmeasurably small delay.

[headkrack]

I need to get my hands on a Replicator

[infynite706]

For the record, I wanted to watch this video after watching the RZA interview where he discussed inventing it, the trademark, where the idea went etc.......But 14 seconds into this video, your cat mysteriously fell...hard lol...

Okay,i'll hit UNpause and let you drop some knowledge on the situation! lol Had to comment on that...

[runway313]

I didn't notice that cat falling at first. i'm dying over here laughing!

[tashianah]

hahaha poor kitty

[ocsspot]

So, illdoc1, did you investigate the claim?

[rocwiler0]

whats a replicator?

[hiphopisVINTAGE]

yo best friend is the camera

[jinunit]

RZA and Ill Doc forever!!

:D

[SweetMaha1]

^_^"

[elnene36]

i have the xxl mag it was in no bull shir

[maz2aru]

yo if the nigga says he invented CHEESE id believe it---WU TANG FOREVER, one wack album aint gonna turn me away!!!

[Hyan36]

the thing is RZA said invent instead of invest 2 different thing

[IntelInside2020]

RZA is talking about something akin to the Numark HDX, not Serato or FinalScratch. Essentially RZA fronted the money for the development of the Replicator.

[allboutk]

amazing

[jojo808]

come on now yall, you Know RZA did indeed invent that thing. Look what the Wu has done for the Hip Hop world. I for one believe the dude.

[djbis]

Shit was funny bro!

[NaSismename]

hahaha lol

WUTANG

[StabbyHAXORZ]

crack kiils

[invokid]

what investigation?, i think any real wu tang fan, would respect them till the end for their original cuase, i dont give a shit about the replicator / serato its out now, and it makes good dj sets, so screw anyone who tries to put other ppl down

[KLsHadou]

I believ ein RZA 2!!! RZA forever

[misterpolo87]

hmm, there wasn't any actual investigating in the video, was there?

[zupak98]

this moder focker disrespecting the wu

white fag

[jasisrad]

actually, rza is disrespecting hip hop & hip hop fans be telling that bullshit story and assuming we'd believe it just because we're WU or RZA fans. I love wu tang, but c'mon man.

Just because you try to type ghetto, using words like "moder focker" doesn't mean you know shit about hip hop as a music or culture. And calling the guy a "white fag" for exposing something that everyone already knew was bullshit just demonstrates your fucking ignorance.

[LazarusDurden]

Actually he wasn't disrespecting the RZA.

[peachgurl221221]

Hes black in case you forget we come in diffrent colors and shades

[killahandkillah]

much respect 4 RZA wu tang 4 life

[itsallinthehips]

The presenters fake accent made me want to punch an infant

[tsharpfilm]

LOL. You're a funny dude. Good video. Nice editing.

[djvartan]

Bwahahaha

[BXMammal]

I found this interview from 99.

TrueShin: Whats is up with Wu-Electronics? When will it be available?

Wu-TangClan:R: The replicator, the first product, is slated for summer release. It will be a fun instrument to make beats with as well as have parties with

its at membres.lycos. under the RZA. The comment filters wont let me post a link.

Do a search in google for the replicator wu electronics.

The article is called Shaolin Hip Hop.

[fdation]

ahhh he found it i remember it he said something about wu electronics but it never dropped i guess its the replicator

[smrfox99]

Lol funny how ppl suck The Rza's cock.

Don't believe everything you hear. Who knows might be true, might not be. One this is true though......he dicked everyone in Wu on 8diagrams.

;-]

[Mr92503]

If RZA says he created this shit then so be it.

If RZA told me he ate aspargus with Jesus.. I'd agree and keep it pushin.. you know why.. because he's RZA.

I'm not a fan of his because of the statements he makes on video's and in magazines. I'm a fan of his because he makes great music and has consistently for the past 10 - 15 years.

I'm just sayin.. who cares who created that replicator or whatever the fuck.

[fdation]

see i remember years ago when rza was saying that he had this replicator. not this interview he said he had one of these these he said it was some wu electronics shit that it was gonna change the world of djing. i always wondered if this was ever gonna come out he never said what this thing was...but i guess its true other companys just put it out first so i believe its true..it was in a magazine like xxl or the source so i know someone can find that interview to prove it

[Blaksteez]

Yeah i remember that aswell,it was in a hip hop magazine,he didnt shed to much light on the product but he did say itd benefit the dj world.

[fdation]

yea if he put it out it would of been dope.. inventing it no but had something to do with it yes

[Mr92503]

oh sweeet ironnnnyyyy

you critizin RZA now? ahahah.. the audacity you have.

the reaction you givin to RZA the same shit I was doin when watchin that gay ass ''hip hop's givin me a rash'' video.

if you have such a problem with everything and everybody, stop listening to rap music.

you just like that eban mcgregory fag. Broadcasting from your parent's basement, NitPicking, doing ''celebrity gossip" like some hoe.

[illdoc1]

You didn't get it.

[bboyfaceless]

@illdoc1 hahahaha thank you people are so narrow minded they cant see past their nose

[returnofthemega]

Whatever you put your mind to, you can do. I believe it. Back in those days (late 90's) only a cat like RZA would have the resources AND the interest in making all forms of audio deejay-friendly. :)

[tbone2001]

If any MC could take credit for this invention, wouldn't it be Bobby Digital?

[evmac]

nice, i belive rza.. but he just misused the word invent. he helped invent it with the help of some unnamed swiss dude

[illdoc1]

Yeah he kinda mixed up "invented" with "invested in" lol

[hypn0tikchr0nic]

Could your style of storytelling make things sound more outlandish then they really are as well?

[illdoc1]

Wow, you're really reaching for reasons to hate now :) But don't let me discourage you.

[hypn0tikchr0nic]

The same could be said about you with regards to some of your criticisms.

[sicktinasandsalex]

It's really obvious that hypn0tikchr0nic has fallen in love.

[hypn0tikchr0nic]

I don't see how you make the connection between not agreeing with someone and falling in love. If I liked his shit, I wouldn't be posting against it...that should be obvious.

[dpg35000]

I believe it!!! The rza is on another level.
