I read an article a few years ago that he had zero knowledge of playing instruments before making beats. A true musician called him out ( no idea if with or without disrespect) and ever since he has started to learn and aquire new knowledge and skills. If I ever find the article I'll do my best to post a link.
@@angelrivera8013 please do! I played music as a kid but didn't stick to it. I make beats and wish I had kept playing! It adds a different layer of complexity if you can play your own chords etc. I salute him for stepping up to the challenge!
The funny thing is, method man said “the moment rza walked in with an electric guitar on his back Wutang died”. I might have that last line wrong but that’s basically it
@trvp_ If you don’t agree, disagree respectfully. Calling the man a crackhead is not only derogatory and ignorant but inherently childish. Grow the hell up…
@@77Productions77 looks like they deleted the comment I don't see it. Rza is a fuqin wizard, on the boards and the mic. He was untouchable throughout the 90s
2 of my favorites. That’s also what makes RZA great…..the fact that he’s never been boxed in when it came to other cultures & sounds etc he uses them all and out comes truly original & unique magic. Shtt make me miss the 90’s
rza is such an amazing producer bruh, and afro samurai was such a masterpiece in every way, rza added even more emotion than there already was, beautiful
That's my boy the coolest guy from the Wu-Tang Clan. RZA should make his own karate films I would watch it & I support RZA no matter what I also want an acting / film career
The whole time, I mean since like 1996, I thought RZA was just sampling and adding drums. This dude is a concert pianist who plays all the instruments lol
The RZA is deep for real it was the perfect storm his mind and musical capabilities and talent to mix with the intellectual lyrical fire street mc's to form the wutang did anyone catch where he said he gets different sounds from the same instrument by just broadening his fingernail something he picked up from watching the style of other musicians a true student master and LIVING legend
What a legend. I fell asleep watching afro samarui last night and just listening to the music I just knew the feeling it was conveying and I could see it being played out with my eyes closed. That's the best way I can describe how wild and great the RZA is
RZ is the maaan. That first song he wrote was probably one of the best ones in the movie. If youve watched the scene you know. Straight revenge music. I bet TO loved it
You ever notice the difference with old school guys like him he’s always been investing his money in what he does music. I bet his vinyl collection is worth a good chunk alone.
Yooooo when i was 13 years old it was over that 36 chambers album dropped I'm at my radio every day listening to that album non stop he different 🔥🔥🔥Wu forever
RZA IS A HIP HOP MUSIC WIZARD !!!!! AS I SAID MANY TIMES IN MY LIFE , HIP HOP MUSIC COULD BE A LIFE MUSIC WITHOUT BAD THINGS ( DRUGS , GUNS , ROBBERY , CLAN WARS , CRIMINALS ETC. ) !!!!! IT'S NOT MADE ONLY FOR ILLUMINATI SATANIC RITUALS AND LIFE , IT HAVE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL INSTRUMENTALS , MELODIES , LYRICS !!!!!!!
This is why he’s my favorite Wu - member his skill is beyond that of his body and is complete with his mind, but there was a faithful day I witness this and the other clips on Afro production I decided he was the one, number one
@@rgw1380rw i actually met Dirty and RZA in the late 90's. RZA was very nice and cordial. Dirty had beer on his breath but he was quiet; not the wild dude that we were used to seeing RIP.
@@Unkle_Mike The first time I saw ODB was after he jumped out of a moving cab on Rockaway Blvd. He hollered out *The Black man is God* and went in the store to get his beer and rolling papers🤣.
Oh my gosh!! I'm 1:20 into the vid and I had to pause and make a comment. I came on here because I started listening to hip-hop again and wanted to see what one of the greats was up to and Bam! This man is a genius. He's got a musical sensibility so unique. Not only rap, but all music lovers can appreciate this man's gift. Rza was always ahead of his time. Unlike some other WU members, Rza embraced all cultures and music and is just a brilliant, funky and special person. He belongs in the Rock and Roll hall of fame. Keep making great REAL music Bobby.
Now I can see some resemblance between RZA and my moms, they both like to get to know a piece of gear and they stick to it and use that and save the amount of time it would take to learn something that might be a lot newer. Sometimes I focus on something too much and suddenly I’m forgetting to breathe because I’m too concerned with some small detail and I should actually let the thing go. RZA seems really flexible with a whole lot of his creativity and that’s why he’s so diversified and has multiple skills and talents. GREAT VIDEO! Because it’s short and only gives a small glimpse into the RZA’s workflow, although here he isn’t anything like a heartless robo-rapper to be feared for his devastating beats and rhyming. This really shows just how down to earth he is and also that you don’t have to be completely obsessed with, or worse even consumed by meeting some rigorous standards that you’re actually holding yourself to. And he’s a great story teller! Really ready to openly admit what cultures he burrows from, and ready to discuss his stories behind the process. We could all take lessons from this guy, but he somehow reminds me that we can take lessons from anyone, in a very low key way. Thanks for sharing this!!
Razor sharp! 0:18 Thelonious Monk poster on the wall! He is my favorite jazz musician as well. Cool knowing that RZA likes him too! It figures with his weird piano playing and compositions. Think outside the box.
RZA is a creative arts genius... Wonder buf he inspired Zaytoven... These pioneers are pure genius, although I give the edge to RZA bc he found a way to narrate a story novels over tones...epic
Wow wow wow what's up Rosa it seems like I've known you for a long time heard your music when it first came out I have a lot of your albums when you guys first started I know that music is universal of peace and harmony and I could understand your dedication to it and the sounds that you hear and the way they come to you I know exactly what you mean by that is that he ever been watching the Wu-Tang movie me and my daughter she grew up on it and my kids all three of them and grew up on the Wu-Tang and many other hip hop artists along the way so many to say but you are one of them that they speak of of the Wu-Tang clan especially cream and other songs that you have made and 36 Chambers and protect your neck there's so many to choose from from your catalog it's it's ridiculous and I must say that I'm kind of low-key jealous but not really that's just for the love of the music and I really do I got hip hop tatted in my arm and I'm not I'm not playing with it you know a connoisseur of good hip hop and the good music I can't speak on this music today because this is not my genre on my era I'm back in the days you know back in the '80s if not a little bit further back but either way I still love this hip Hop and I really would love to know what first pro tools you ever used if you could tell me the name I'm trying to do my music too I love music I've been a big boy since I've been a little kid that's how I started off by breakdancing so you know it's a long time into this hip hop game you know that's where you first start it's a big boy then a mixer then a graffiti artist you know how the story goes but either way either or I just wanted to know what exactly pro tools you used and what was all the first tools that you ever used to make your first CDs I really would love to know so I know exactly what to look for or what to go out and grab I'm not looking for too much I ain't got crazy bucks I'm just living on a budget but yet I want to do my music if it's not for the public at least for myself for my own tranquility I understand it music like I said it's to the soul and so many things that you can do with music and so many different expressions that you could share and it all just takes a Melody it just takes a one little string of a sound and you can be created the most beautiful as things out of it I do understand it more than you know the creativity of an artist is unbelievable it all resides in you and what you feel what you see and what you want to portray so keep on making that music partner and do get back at me as soon as you can I really would appreciate it if you could okay much love from my family to yours and my name is Elio Gotti if you get back at me much love Wu-Tang forever
Do not forget to watch RZA's music production for Afro Samurai 1 here : ruclips.net/video/Q-iN5raPx3g/видео.html
Is that "fight for you" song available anywhere?? thats my favorite joint from the score..

Facts
Ghostface's kids have him for an uncle.
Young Dirty Lucky Bastard
People don't realize how legendary the production of afro samurai was.
Soundtrack is vitality bro!! 😌🔥🔥🔥
Even as a kid I was in love with it and I didn’t even understand. Just seeing an anime where rap was in the background was everything 🔥
@@lightbear939 exactly!!!
My first time watching it I was like yo this shit is slept on. The show's so good
Always cool getting a gem in my recommendations.
What if rza made a dbz track
Robert Carrillo Ong that would be lit
RandomBlackGamer I’m saying
@KingCai72 good 1. And you suppose to be 1 of my subs 😁
RandomBlackGamer yoooo big fan of ya channel!
Never knew he actually played instruments. That shows growth and makes him an even more amazing producer. And he can spit too. Salute RZA.

yeah he is, as a Musician he is a genius, but as a actor not so good.
GZA is da genius
@@wormsboro He is well read enough to represent himself in a court case after shooting someone, then winning the case.
No he's the rza!
@Billy McCarthy RZA the instrumental genius and GZA the lyrical genius
he looks like a mad scientist w that hair lmfaoo
HE IS!! AAAAAHHHHHH!! HAH! HAH! HAH! HAAAAAAHHH!!!**crazy laughing**
it's afro man
skeaneable prince has an afro RZA with respect has a messy afro
oo oo -black einstein....word
True 😂💯💯
RZA isn't just a hip hop/rapper. He isn't just a musician. He's David bowie level. Genius of music

Word is bon

Ok nvmd
Dj premier
But ofc RZA is in the top 5
Lol there are a lot of better producers like madlib,Kanye,daveed etc
jr mance nigga
Damn I have the same printer as RZA
😮😞
Luke Lawrence humble brag
HOLY FUCK same hahahaha
Luke Lawrence lol
RZA whole setup look low budget af. Tiny ass PC screen and buncha shit crammed on a $99 Target desk.
I'm Sick!!! He working out of a bedroom to make pro work! Let's you know you don't need a massive studio, just mad skill to get it done.
While I get the sentiment. His gear in there is insanely expensive. He doesn’t have a big analog console but he has everything else
@@casillasscorer I'd have to agree. i been wondering how much that piano/key board cost. But still, just at the crib.
Rza made classics in his mommas basement. Way before all that stuff. His production actually got worse the better the equipment got.
@@mackinshizzaveli4202 in what way would you say it got worse?
Yes but he absolutely mixes ....and finalizes iin a big boy studio
3:02 When he said "hanging around my boy Shavo and them, they Armenian" he's talking about System of a Down!!! Respect
Sweet!
I was aboutta comment if no one said anything haha I heard shavo and I was like hold up
SOAD did cover Shame on A Ni*** with Wu Tang
2 of my favorites. That’s also what makes RZA great…..the fact that he’s never been boxed in when it came to other cultures & sounds etc he uses them all and out comes truly original & unique magic. Shtt make me miss the 90’s
I never knew RZA played instruments. Dude is a legend. Wu-Tang forever!
This is how a real ARTIST looks like! ❤️ Tons of respect for RZA 💯💯💯💯
You can see what a genius this man is when he's in his own element.
RZA never wastes his talent
Definitely picking him over Dr Dre💯👌🏾
rza is such an amazing producer bruh, and afro samurai was such a masterpiece in every way, rza added even more emotion than there already was, beautiful
Never knew he was this talented in producing! 😮🦇
That's my boy the coolest guy from the Wu-Tang Clan. RZA should make his own karate films I would watch it & I support RZA no matter what I also want an acting / film career
He did, it's called The Man with the Iron Fists
@@danielbooth5035 I agree
Man I didn't know RZA could play so many instruments.
This dude can actually read and write music. Genius
The whole time, I mean since like 1996, I thought RZA was just sampling and adding drums. This dude is a concert pianist who plays all the instruments lol
Does both
OMG!!!! i have all the episodes, the movie, the soundtracks... i love robert diggs so much OMG!!! ALL WU TANG FOREVER

Top 10 producer of all time.
Top 1
You ever notice the difference with old school guys like him he’s always been investing his money in what he does music. I bet his vinyl collection is worth a good chunk alone.
Man is easily one of the most talented producers ever.
RZA and Trent Reznor are my two top all time favorite producers. I absolutely LOVE the worlds these two genius individuals bring!!! Fkn badasses
LONG LIVE THIS MAN!!!👏👏👏
THANK U FOR EVERY BEAUTIFUL BEAT!
Afro Samurai and Samurai Champloo will always be my favorites
Genius level production going on here. 👏
That fucking beat🔥 damm RZA give the rest of us young producers a chance 😹
The RZA is a musical genius his beats are soooo sick hands down favorite producer/rapper
The RZA aka Jonny Green Wu ... Both extremely talented musicians with superb experimental skills
I've always had respect for RZA as a producer, but wasn't aware that he knew how to play chords! It's cool to see that
Rza is funny, he got keyboards and everything on the floor. You know he is a mad scientist. THE WUUUU
This is what separates producers from composers...RZA composer
Rza you're truly a genius and if NaNo ever blows up and gets the chance I truly want to make music with you
I could listen to this dude talk all day.
Yooooo when i was 13 years old it was over that 36 chambers album dropped I'm at my radio every day listening to that album non stop he different 🔥🔥🔥Wu forever
I just found the series and now I am here 💜
I hope he does more with anime films and music because afro was powerful word my favorite anime film and series
This man, he's a perfect fit for the series
Love this video. Its amazing seeing so much talent and the way he portrays it and they way he speaks about how it becomes what it is
rza is probably the most talented man in the world

+Michael Papamarkou LOL hope you're not serious.

@REN 8 RBG L-Rated no you're funny
Hampton makes him even more better. He pushed himself to progress
