RZA'S a deep intellectual mc, dj, producer, & on almost every project he is involved in he rises to the occasion. A real gear/tech head who keeps his beats new and fresh, but also still able to not forget about the gritty grimey boom bap beats that he started with... I've seen footage a Rza playing bass guitar to the drums. Mad gifted brotha who always inspires to keep perfecting your art until your sharp as a dart 🎯 namean. ☠️
everything he said in the beginning about being frustrated but then realizing that it’s actually user friendly is exactly how i felt when i first started using maschine. be like that sometimes lol. but ayo salute to the OG 🙏🏽
I think it also gives you a special perspective on music & how it impacts people in public (which is of course different than by yourself). Especially because in a club or a party the people are all united by the music, it plays such an essential role. I'm actually not a Deejay, although I was the music guy at every house party.
Some insider tips and gear used on classic albums produced by RZA!! Talking about using a Boss synth on ODB’s Re Enter the 36 Chambers was cool as hell!!
From what i've seen in other videos and from tutorials this is way more capable than an MPC imo. I was always a fan of Roland samplers, so much good music made on SP 404s and SP 303s. Definitely looking into getting myself one of these.
@BillyBey1 I have Reason 5, Cubase 6, Hella plugins, & I still use hardware. Hardware will never be obselete in music. Never. I have a sp-1200, MPC 3000, MPD 32, Nord, Edirol PCR-300, Tascam 1" reel to reel, Lexicon 224, (hardware & plugin), the list goes on... Hardware has a warmer sound than anything digital. You can warm it up with software too, but its not the same. The dynamics are somehow a tad bit different... But the general public dont know unless they are audiophiles ya know?
True. I started on a eps 16 way back. I also remember getting fruityloops 1, the very first one, my father got it for me. At the time i thought it was cool and i learned t, and still have thousands of beat files... But i always come home to hardware, it just feels better. When you maike a beat on a computer you feel soul-less. When you bang one out on a mp with a sample off some record or a vhs or cassette tape or something, it just feels right.
i'm not going at him. i love rza. i was just responding to someone's comment about his place in hip hop history. rza didn't invent sampling, but he clearly took it someplace nobody had been before. only built 4 cuban linx.../liquid swords is the best sampling EVER.
Rza is one of the craziest producers and has some of the best sampling techniques but I beg to differ. Dilla got some of the most craziest sounds, and Fantastic Vol. 2/Donuts is the best sampling I have ever heard in my life. Nothing by anyone else even comes close
Yea he didn’t invent sampling that’s for sure. Some crazy white guy did it with his sampling machine that he invented. But regardless of that, RZA put a mark on HipHop and Music in general. If you hear a RZA beat, you know it’s a RZA beat. That’s the beauty of his music. If you listen to a Dre beat, you might say...I don’t know? Did he make this shit? Lol, that’s cus Dre didn’t make them beats beside those old NWA stuff. If you listen you will know the difference. Listen to DJ Paul’s beats from 3-6 mafia. You can tell he made it. Most producers or beat makers make their mark from a style they create.
@@Handle_Edit I suppose you could say German electronic music was first examples of sampling or Jamaican dub but RZA is the illest, better than the rest
gang starr dropped 3 classic albums before enter the wu-tang, and pete rock & cl smooth had already dropped their debut, including their most important song, "they reminisce over you", by 1992.
ok, I wanna see you say that directly face to face to bobby digital. hed sacrifice his fav production piece by smashing your hating face. and then produce a track using your cries of agony, get the whole clan together and record a classic, grimy 36 chamber type banger with your lilbitch cries as part of the intrumental. worry bout your own vocab, build a hip hop group, take that group to the top for a multiple year sretch, then you cab mock the Abbots speach, you must not understand that those who have rapped for years, tend to speak how they wish, and if you've rapped for years, and have a style, most arent gonna speak how your lame ass expects.. bottom line, the main Wu clan member can say wtf he wants.. shhiiit I can to, and Im so underground, my only fans exist in my city(Riverside)-Maxcap the Virtual Pope
"YOU SEE THE 7 AND THE STAR ON THE AMULET" KNOWN FOR PRODUCTION, LISTENING TO THE LAST TRACK ESPECIALLY "DONT BE AFRAID"/BONUS" WILL QUICKLY SHOW THAT RZA IS A LYRICIST TO BE PLACED AMONG THE GREATEST.
wow.. that's probably the first time that i've ever seen somebody admit their mistake and take responsibility their comment.... ever. good job jerome walters
When the fuck did Aunt Jemima ever talk? Get the fuck outta here with that racists bullshit. You hear a black woman talking and that's the first person you think of? "Hey,It's a black woman talking must be Aunt Jemima.". Only Mrs. Buttersworth fucking talked. Fucking Racists piece of shit.
No cuz then Dame Dash will just keep his masters pull his album off iTunes day of release and never release it ever again for the fans who were anticipating hearing it. F DAME DASH RIP ODB
He said Fatal was made in the Roland MV8000. That beat knocks. Then he said Cuban Linx II was made in it. I wonder if that included State Of Grace because that RZA beat was classic and originally made for CL2 as the lead single before it got delayed. I would think parts of Wu-Tang's 8 Diagrams and RZA's Digi Snacks had to have been made in there too, since Unpredictable was originally made for CL2 under the title Thug World, and You Can't Stop Me Now ft. Inspectah Deck was also for CL2 under the title No Matter How Hard You Try. The Scratch issue they quickly showed detailed all of these songs the interviewer got to hear as a CL2 RZA songs listening party. Even had that Rockstars & Smoking Barrels from the end of the video that unfortunately also didn't make the final cut. Anyone interested in RZA's beats from this era should look up that issue.
Well,the Roland MV was misunderstood,because it was NOT an MPC replacement,it's it's own device.It does way more,and it's a different workflow.I have the MV8800 and other samplers,and none of them are the same.
I have the MV8800,and as I tell folks,it was never meant to be an MPC.It's a studio in a box,period,and you can do everything inside.I have other samplers are comparing them is just a waste of time.It's small minded to think because a sampler has pads,it needs to be compared to an MPC.
@@badboy69cancer entirely different machine..the Roland 8800 was a decent upgrade from the 8000.I would say, it's better for someone like RZA,,for cinematic,electronic productions..I believe the MPC X is way more modern so it just does what the MPC 4000 and the Roland MV did.
Damn, I actually got one of these boxed up in the closet. Need to find a cheap VGA monitor and set it back up. Had the MC-909 he's talking about too, haha. Good times
christopher fujino why you going at rza man. This nigga one of the best producers and beatmakers of all time and he has a very unique style with the whole karate sound effects and martial arts sounding beats.
"He'll make it to your own speculations." So..umm..you just imagine what it might look like and he uses his ESP to look into your mind and then builds it for you? Awesome! That sounds so convenient.
what i'm trying to say is even if you use software, you can still use hardware like a midi controller. and if you have an akai MPD32 the quality of the pads, knobs, faders are that of the MPC. and with software, you can do more. have a good day
i believe pete rock dropped the lp all souled out pr something in 91 it was probably his first production work. rza's first production work was mind of a genius i think but dont quote me on that
@topcatcarter This is a really old video. RZA has moved on. Even back then the MV had minimal use in his studio. You can still have fun with the MV. Just know that the MV-8000/8800 has been discontinued.
Y'all act like RZA and the Wu don't have their own language everybody knows that so how y'all making jokes on him why you think one of the reasons Wu-Tang became big worldwide that's what people fell in love with in the beginning they had their own language they own style
Interesting, he talks about 60% of cuban linx 2 was produced on this.... Which leads me to believe there is a version of that album done mostly by rza. Because the version that came out, hes barley on it. Id like to hear it

If Maschine had a timestretch module at sampler level akin to Serato Sample, it would be the best software for beat making in existence.
Being a DJ before a beat maker made his skills enhance. DJing shows you how to be flexible and solid with blending and mixing.
I think it also gives you a special perspective on music & how it impacts people in public (which is of course different than by yourself). Especially because in a club or a party the people are all united by the music, it plays such an essential role.

Rza and Pharrell are my favorite musicians. Truly are wizards of music.
And Timbaland also!
Can't forget Ye

One of the BEST in the game.
the MV 8000 is actually closer to the MPC 3000 (what dilla used) than the other MPCs (2000,2500,4000 etc)
RZA the illest!
kanye basically owes his career to rza...i don't remember anyone using the sped up samples before him
Agree always said this, heavy rza influence
You a wavy dude
