RZA (feat. Holocaust, Doc Doom, Ghostface Killah & Ms. Roxy) - Holocaust (Silkworm) Album: Bobby Digital In Stereo (1998) Gee Street/V2/BMG Records Produced by The RZA
I always loved this song an album was so underrated when it came out over 20years ago wheni was 20 or so but tonight I'm on magic shrooms an its even better then the first time listening lol
I remember I was 11 years old when this album came out, and when I heard this Holocaust verse, even at that age I knew it was something special, I was like my god who is this guy? 24 years later its still unreal
And this is where Westside Gunn got his Cadence from Ghostface where he doesn’t exactly copy his style but Embraces it and still makes his own style and flow with Ghost’s cadence
No doubt. I really would have loved to hear a more mature Doc Doom on these John Frusciante-produced joints. After another decade of hardbody verses, that is... RIP champ!
Listening to this over and over, I’m starting to think that RZA’s mic was not in check so that’s why he repeated his first verse, it’s so raw that they kept it in the song
If you had to compact all the information and all of the current worldly events in 1 song, this is what you come up with. Most highly intelligent people will understand what I mean.
Îndeed! I've been searching for some more nasty verses too, to no avail.. Because you responded to my comment, i'm listening to this gem once more and again i'm astonished by his lyrical technique ... Definetely one of the best verses in Hip-hop together with Canibus' Poet Laureate and Lunar deluge! But that's on a whole other level. :D Peace
The fact millions of blacks died in the holocaust and is still claiming black lives with no mention is very revealing and mind-numbing. Weary eyes are tired.
best verse ever... I'm sorry but the fact that it never breaks from concept is what makes the flow enhanced, and that concept is abstract yet defined... Decks verse is has flow and concept but it doesn't bring demons to earth like they belong there ya know what I'm sayin?
@thomaswil8 Was that in an article somewhere? I would love to know where you heard that because, Honestly it seems Like it's implied but I don't know that I've ever heard. It acknowledged like that but... My instinct is like yeah of Of course he had to!
i hear you dog you dont know how many times since then ive searched tirelessly for more holocaust music come to find out he changed is name :-/ dude was a mastermind for that verse. and after he became warcloud for some reason he wasnt spittin anythinng nearly as nasty as that verse. but definitely that to me was one of the best lyrical verses ive heard in hiphop hands down.
i can see why he isnt a wu member. its just some different shit. I love Holocaust's albums, but his shit is just too dark and too sick... it wouldnt fit
@@thebigmonstaandy6644 idk about him losing his voice, but I heard he lost his mind because of drugs, and you can definitely tell from his newer songs...
You’re just a flicker to my inferno, we burn for eternal, Mc’s delight - popcorn, we poppin every curnel Jot us in your journal, we hot like a thermal Nuclear explosion, under my control of your country like the federal, enforcement, management, agency !
Joel Bowman it's tagged up on ur tombstone by gano .... I'm from Staten island and use to do graffiti wit the dude gano he's talking about.. gano does all the graffiti in the Wu videos
In 20xx my friend (R.I.P) camed in to my house to smoke with me, and when we smoked i played soldiers of fortune on my computer with that track... He was really охуевший с моей музыки🤷♂️
First verse easily in the top 10 in ALL of hip hop.
Ever.
👌
Hard to argue against ur claim
FACTS!!! That first is pure Genius.
Agreed. Whover the hell that is on the 1st verse completely slayed this track
Facts
That Holocaust verse....makes me feel like everything w/in a 9 mile radius of me has been completely decimated. Sweet God!
Perfectly put 👌🏾
I feel the same bro
I always loved this song an album was so underrated when it came out over 20years ago wheni was 20 or so but tonight I'm on magic shrooms an its even better then the first time listening lol
thats very deep, roof, roof
Word
“Got Oscar nominated emcees stuck to my hatchet...” BARS!!!
All of your seeds will be born deformed
💣💥
Why do people spell out MC? It's the abbreviation for Master of Ceremony and yall wanna make it more complicated.
@@Jw071 can be used interchangeably brother. No qualms
@@Jw071 because they are gailords
I wonder how everyone at the studio reacted when they heard that first verse. That’s some Deck on Triumph type of shit right there.
Real hip hop in its purest form
Even better
Sucks his career never went anywhere
Daaamn good moment 🎉
Just remembered this in 2025. Still Brilliant!!
First verse a rapper's masterpiece
I was just listening to this on Apple Music, and came here to see if everyone was talking about Holocaust’s verse.
Y’all didn’t disappoint.
Dude Ivane here because I could not find that song on Apple music
@@AmokHKC I just noticed they took it off. I downloaded the album before they did so, so I still have it. Hopefully it’ll be back.
Yes everytime it's cool having the best and thinking your the only one makes it underground to me
1:48 I like to think that Holocaust's verse was so raw that RZA forgot what he was about to say and had to do a second take...
Flabbergasted, duration 3:02 is when rza started to rap...
@@JaeBNice RZA starts at 1:48. At 3:02 its Doc Doom who is starting…
Hardest shit I have ever heard in my life. Bought this album my freshman year in college. I havent heard too many tracks that even come close.
RIP Holocaust/Warcloud
While Bobby's throwing razer CDs line ninja stars
Ghostface got the killa flow. His name is not a joke !!!
I spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about the lyrics to this song.
Right
I remember I was 11 years old when this album came out, and when I heard this Holocaust verse, even at that age I knew it was something special, I was like my god who is this guy? 24 years later its still unreal
Its interesting to see that this one verse just seems to be special to so many out there.
Aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! IM LOSING IT RIGHT NOW!!! One of my favorite joints ever.
I still rock this album and had my wife listen to a few joints
2019. Still listening.
Fuck yeah!!! Me too dude.
Geez give the man a medal 🏅
2020 we still here
2020 right here
TIMELESS
RZA's verse is really underrated, Holocaust's verse as well.
I really like this song.
My soul feeds off this.
One of the sickest verses EVER!!!!!!!!!!
Lyrical masterpiece
2023 and this track is still undisputed
2020 still jamming out stereo system outside. Drinking beer!! Now that's rap. Unlike today..no rhythm at all.
this is one of the songs I can't skip when the playlist is on shuffle
Hip hop in its purest form
You don't even need to go to summer school
Damn I miss the 90s era of hip hop.
I feel ya bro
When this came out it sounded like it was from 20 yrs in the future
And this is where Westside Gunn got his Cadence from Ghostface where he doesn’t exactly copy his style but Embraces it and still makes his own style and flow with Ghost’s cadence
MAD HARD!
Doc Doom was very under rated. It's a shame he was taken before his time. RIP
damn i aint know he was Dead
No doubt. I really would have loved to hear a more mature Doc Doom on these John Frusciante-produced joints. After another decade of hardbody verses, that is... RIP champ!
Rip Doc Doom
One of the hardest spits.
that first verse may be Better than deck on triumph
Demetrius Barnes Ohhh that's close. Both incredible
It is.
Ya I would have to give it to both of them! Considering the state of hip hop today
Both dope, but nah.
And Cappadonna Winter Warz verse
AHHHHHHHHHHHH! Where has Hip-Hop gone?
I'm floating in your galaxy ♡
🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Greetings from Bulgaria! But damn that intro and that opening verse ! Slaps!
Listening to this over and over, I’m starting to think that RZA’s mic was not in check so that’s why he repeated his first verse, it’s so raw that they kept it in the song
Flowting...galaxies...masterpiece...

Hardest banga ever
first verse give u da 💩face (classic)
miami2930 I know that face like yukkkk, really nigga? Did you just say that? Masterpiece
2021 still knocks.
Classic. Legendary
Dope!
classic material!
Rock crushing German suplex makes spines side out the side route.
rza goin haaard
that album art is so inspired by George Clinton
The fact millions of blacks died in the holocaust and is still claiming black lives with no mention is very revealing and mind-numbing. Weary eyes are tired.
Which one there were many. The word only means burnt offering.
This sh*t always gets me hype!!
Still.......
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Classis album!!
Holocaust got the most memorable Hardest verse ever on that song and ...
Then Disappeared
RIP warcloud aka Holocaust
best verse ever... I'm sorry but the fact that it never breaks from concept is what makes the flow enhanced, and that concept is abstract yet defined... Decks verse is has flow and concept but it doesn't bring demons to earth like they belong there ya know what I'm sayin?
That's why RZA named the song after him.
@thomaswil8 Was that in an article somewhere? I would love to know where you heard that because, Honestly it seems Like it's implied but I don't know that I've ever heard. It acknowledged like that but... My instinct is like yeah of Of course he had to!
@@theduckfromthejoke152 he said it in an interview. I can't remember if I saw it on RUclips
I think it was a radio interview and I'm almost positive I heard it on one of Holocaust albums
Holocaust and Canibus would've been good face-off
i hear you dog you dont know how many times since then ive searched tirelessly for more holocaust music come to find out he changed is name :-/ dude was a mastermind for that verse. and after he became warcloud for some reason he wasnt spittin anythinng nearly as nasty as that verse. but definitely that to me was one of the best lyrical verses ive heard in hiphop hands down.
@Eric Heredia he's also on the bastard swordsman and doomsday by killarmy
my favorite verse of his IS a Warcloud verse. I think he got bored of punchline-emceeing and opted for something more poetic. Both are great.
You know you killed shit when they name the song after you
RIP HOLOCAUST
RIP MF Doom

First time I heard this was my boy Denzel played it RIP .
Why isn't holocaust a member of wu tang, and why doesn't he have more music out? This is the crayziest verse i have ever heard
Have you heard him recently, he lost his voice, (worse than Shine)
It must've been an abomination to spit that sick. The gods reached down and took his instrument.
@@infinityinfinityinfi how it is possible that he lost his voice?
i can see why he isnt a wu member. its just some different shit. I love Holocaust's albums, but his shit is just too dark and too sick... it wouldnt fit

the sickest flows. Have wu tang tagged up on your tomb stone by TYLER
Fools tread where angels dont date to go i was told to say. Its not a place for you. But i can handle it. Keep giving me strength.

RIP Doc Doom

I'm sorry, but everybody on this song should've wrote their verses over, that West Coast dude is, too, raw!
😆! Yes he (Holocaust) made everyone sound remotely average on this track!
In 20xx my friend (R.I.P) camed in to my house to smoke with me, and when we smoked i played soldiers of fortune on my computer with that track... He was really охуевший с моей музыки🤷♂️
Holocaust verse is epic!
One of the best in hip hop history
classic.

Underrated

Holocaust destroyed this fire.
