The Wu-Tang Clan's chief producer, the RZA (aka the Abbott, Prince Rakeem, the Rzarector, Bobby Steels, and Bobby Digital) was born Robert Diggs. He first surfaced during the early '90s as a member of the rap unit All in Together Now, a group that also featured fellow Wu-Tang members the Genius (aka GZA) and Ol' Dirty Bastard. Following All in Together Now's dissolution, he signed to Tommy Boy under the name Prince Rakeem, issuing the 1991 EP Ooh We Love You Rakeem before joining the Wu-Tang; the group's 1993 debut, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), was one of the most influential hip-hop records of the era, with RZA's lean, menacing production work much imitated throughout the rap community in the years to follow. In addition to remaining a member of the loose-knit Wu-Tang family and producing many of the group members' solo efforts, RZA also joined the Gravediggaz, helming their 1995 debut 6 Feet Deep; his first full-length solo LP, RZA as Bobby Digital in Stereo, followed in 1998. In 1999, RZA Hits, a compilation of some of the Wu-Tang family's best-known tracks, from both group and solo projects, was released under RZA's name. Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai, his soundtrack for the Jim Jarmusch film — in which he made a cameo, beginning a series of small acting roles — was released in 2000. One year later, he released his second Bobby Digital record, Digital Bullet. A mix album, The World According to RZA, followed in 2003, as did his third official solo album, The Birth of a Prince. He continued to field soundtrack work, including Quentin Tarantino's two-volume Kill Bill films and the Japanese animation series Afro Samurai, as documented on 2007's Afro Samurai and 2009's Afro Samurai: The Resurrection.

these are really some of RZA's best verses.

I listen to Drake and Cole, but it doesn't mean I idolize the bastards. I grew up around my brothers who listened to real rap, Biggy, Pac, Wu. There ain't artist' like there were back in the day, so you just have to settle with something that sounds good. Officer Ricky can rot though, he has zero talent. Can't get into any of his tracks a bit.

@Blacktolite I agree and dissagree! Hip hop has always been a two part process. One was word play and two was rhythm which i felt like RZA and a few others from Wutang Lacked, except Method MAN He's always had it. It's an equation that you can't fully complete if you don't fully have both. But i felt like a ton of people either also didn't have rhythm or just joined the wutang following just to fit in with the rest. they did have a hell of a structure to their videos which was always awesome!

@MethodManxD Either way J. Cole is nowhere near RZA's level.

Kids nowdays don't have the intellect to understand word play like this so they end up listening to soft hip pop like Drake, Rick Ross, J.Cole
