  • This is how RZA made the beats to Ol' Dirty Bastard's "Protect Ya Neck II the Zoo" and the GZA's "Liquid Swords" and "4th Chamber" out of the intro to Willie Mitchell's "Groovin'".

      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.

    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!
