"Proceed with caution as you enter the symphony; degrees of punishment increase intensely..." Masta Killa has the delivery of a college professor at times. Very underrated MC👍👍
Give Masta Killa his flowers! Masta Killa has delivered some of the sickest lyrics from the Wu-Tang Clan. He's a deadly ninja lyrical assassin more than a samurai.
I agree with everything you said, except deadly ninja, all of these men are the shoguns of Shaolin, the leaders, the samurai, ninjas are basic troops, samurai and shoguns are the highest regarded title one could’ve held in feudal Japan
@@ashwilliams4253 Yet Masta Killa _is_ a ninja! He is the most humble and loyal Wu member, by far. He is basic troops. Can't have 9 shoguns and no troops. MK with Allah Math, Streetlife, Cap (to some extent) - those are the ninjas of the clan. Respect
"War's extremely serious and it saddens me To have to take things to deadly measures And have you measured and shot for no pay It's assassination day I stalk my enemy like prey Tranqued by deceptional sounds that deceives And lures MC's to the lair With a mic-like bait, then awaits to be bitten by greed Temptation tempts my victim to proceed Forward, ignorance wouldn't allow retreat You'd rather pursue death than admit defeat"-Masta Killa
Nows whose best to describe in, what i specialise in, murderous rhyming, constantly In climbing, my mind spits with a enormous kickback, your brain couldn't absorb the impact.
"Day 2 breaks its a stormy Monday. My ninjas lay in revines and ditches. Underneath shrubs and leaves, they breath thru underwater reefs. The enemy walks above The Clan remains SUBterrain in mud!" Masta Killa, from 1112, Beneath The Surface, GZA. Can't get more underground than that verse! Unforgetable. Thank you Masta Killa!
Back in the early days of Wu, Masta Killa NEVER SPOKE during interviews. It always reminded me of the old saying- “A WISE MAN ONCE SAID NOTHING”. But when He got on stage, He was the perfect example of what it means to Show & Prove.
Masta Killa is by far my favorite Wu-Tang swordsman!! This ain't an 85 affair made clear/ when the gods get on to perform storms blew up/ busied up/ causing the crowd to self-destruct/ killa bees 🐝 stinging something while I reveal science~Dual of the Iron Mic 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I've been listening to Wu-Tang since I was a kid in 1993. Something that I find interesting is how they've always conducted themselves like humble respectable men. Out of all the Wu-Tang interviews... no rumors or immaturity comes out like it does with today's rappers. Masta Killa's Visions verse is my favorite from him!
It's crazy how the N.O.I is the biggest reason I started listening to MF DOOM and Wu Tang my dad had a copy of Cappadonna the pillage and the Tical album I played both of them albums all through highschool!!!
@@99alfailiwaqain51 peace to you God!! I remember seeing Islam in the early 90s All over hip hop!! One of the peoples army brothers showed me madlib and MF Doom first joints!!
@@mauricemartin7026 Peace To The Gods! Yessir; go back to 85 and Justice with his single and album; produced by Mantronix. Justice had a dope album he was dropping Mathematically inspired lyrics! He also had the best verse on “Self Destruction “ in my humble opinion! Talon give Justice his flowers please ahkee..
Masta Killa is like that rare samurai that you have to travel far to reach and he just swings his sword once but he decapitates everyone, and then retreats back to his lair.
I remember meeting Killa at Toads Place in New Haven CT years ago, we chopped it up a little, i even asked him if he knows about 9th wonder beats😂, he a good brother and one of the illest MC's ever
Such an amazing interview. I'm sure Masta K is tough to interview. He's a man of few words. But what he speaks and how is speaks, is so influential and motivating.
Masta Killa has the coldest 🥶 verse on Triumph 📣📣📣 93 million miles away from/came one to represent the nation/ this is a gathering of the masses that come to pay respect to the Wu-Tang ~Masta Killa
This was a dope interview. And I'm glad he brought up the BCC & wu because they are my two favorite hip hop groups/ clans ever!! And I know what it probably never happen but I've always wanted to get these two legendary groups to collaborate. But now I see I'm not the only one who thought about this. It would be a hip hop match made in heaven!!! ✌️To the gods 🙏
Mastakilla is the member that when he starts rhyming... I listen closely and automatically be like in some kind of "hypnosis". I've watch Glaciers of ice something like 500 times in my lifetime to see him move and hear the rhymes he delivers. Love Mastakilla! So many incredible verses. You have no choice... but to respect him.
LOOKS LIKE THE WORK OF A MASTA!! You better tell Jamel Irief he got fanz in SIBERIA!! Just gave another listen to Deadly Melody from WTF disc 2. What a fuckin blast of a verse contributed by The MASTA! Mothafuckas halt, when my Colt starts stompin!
I wanna thank masta killa for being so gracious as to converse wit us in Philly while they were fillming Bobby digital back in 96 he really dropped gems on us peace my brother ✌🏽
“My ninjas lay in ravines and ditches - underneath shrubs and leaves/ they breathe through underwater reeds/ the enemy walks above/ I remain subterraned in mud” - Masta Killa and Wu could take your mind to places you never would’ve thought about. Salute to the high chief 👐🏼
“ my mind spits with an enormous kick back/ your brain will absorb the impact/ disorderly conduct from the crowd is the FEEDBACK”. !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Master. Killa -Ghostace Killah-Ironman
“We’re still here, and we’re just gonna keep building. Everything else will take care of itself.” What a note to end on. Yea, the build was good. Peace.
Loving this interview. Thank you both for over 30 years (and continuing on) of lifting people up with everything you do. The impact y'all have made on the world can not be overstated.
Great interview Brother Talib, I am a fan of the whole Wu & the affiliates, Masta Killa is that mc , who is a precise technician with the bars. A fan of you as well, your work you & Yasiin Bey crafted; was magnificent. Your solo work as well is timeless, but please brother if you can. Please interview GZA. He is not only my favorite mc within the clan, but in hip hop period; right next to Sa-Roc, MF DOOM, Asheru, Jay Elecronica, and Jean Greasy. I hope you can, if not keep doing your thing brother.
he arguably had the best verse on 36 chambers (along with the CREAM verses and maybe GZA on Protect Ya Neck), one of the most underrated verses ever and ahead of its time. It sounds the freshest of any of 36 chambers verses when listened to now.
I always thought Havoc looks like Floyd Mayweather. And GZA looks like Waldo Geraldo Faldo. Inspectah Deck could be JB Smoove's twin whenever he wears sunglasses.
The original version is like 4 hours, the director's cut. But when it was released Hollywood told them to edit out over an hour, which explains a ton of things in the plot that people were confused about when they saw the theatrical version.
Excellent Interview Talib I was super nerd’n on this one cause u touched on so much the De La part of the tour was Big for me rest in peace to Dave, also if I’m not mistaken Makeba is actually Prodigal Sunn’s sibling and on the Goodtimes skit on Masta Killa’s album he says cause I’m bad lol but this was a real good one and that New York State of mind tour was off the chain I was at the one here in Hartford CT 🤞🏾👐🏾🐝
Yooo the high school stories took me back. When you're in a high school so big you can skip class and not leave the building?? I lived that life. Going to multiple lunches. Like 4 of the lunch ladies lived in my hood. Used to tell on me to my moms all the time.
fire interview 🔥... Talib can you please do one in depth like this with Killah Priest. I feel with your BK ties and knowledge it would be a classic just like this one thank you!!
@@99alfailiwaqain51 peace peace. Mantis is a potent verse. It t would easily be in my top 15. Another personal fav of mine is his verse on Wu Banga 101.
"Proceed with caution as you enter the symphony; degrees of punishment increase intensely..." Masta Killa has the delivery of a college professor at times. Very underrated MC👍👍
also reads like a coroner's report.
love that!
Ofc but in a 10 man group some one will be underrated is just bound to happen😊

Masta Killa’s verse on “Glaciers of Ice” is one of the best verses ever!
All of his verses. I love his subject matter and odd rhyme schemes
@@infomatrix7394can hear gza influence...
"War's extremely serious and it saddens me
To have to take things to deadly measures
And have you measured and shot for no pay
It's assassination day I stalk my enemy like prey
Tranqued by deceptional sounds that deceives
And lures MC's to the lair
With a mic-like bait, then awaits to be bitten by greed
Temptation tempts my victim to proceed
Forward, ignorance wouldn't allow retreat
You'd rather pursue death than admit defeat"-Masta Killa
Nows whose best to describe in, what i specialise in, murderous rhyming, constantly
In climbing, my mind spits with a enormous kickback, your brain couldn't absorb the impact.
Tied with the glaciers of ice verse as my fav masta killa verse
Disorderly conduct from the crowd is the feedback
No Said Date will always be a classic Wu Tang solo record
Absolutely
Last Drink and Silverbacks were my favorite songs on the album 🥷👐
Very underrated project

You're probably talking albums but they collaborated on at least one track.
*Clans and Cliks by Sean Price* Dope posse cut
To have recently released a collaborative track ft. Masta Killa is such a massive honour, and this showcases what an incredibly awesome dude he is!
30 years later, I'm still quoting this man.

Masta Killa was an assassin, a poet , and they key piece to the Wu Tang Clan. On the fly he can deliver killer verses.
✌🏾 to da GODS !!! This interview is legendary 💪🏾🔥🔥🔥

This interview is gold too!

I always thought Havoc looks like Floyd Mayweather. And GZA looks like Waldo Geraldo Faldo. Inspectah Deck could be JB Smoove's twin whenever he wears sunglasses.
@@HelpMeFindTheseSongsInspector Deck and JB smooth DEFINITELY no argument at all...if he said that's his brother I wouldn't even think once about it.
Younger masta resembled ghostface
"You are watching a master at work"
"Be like water my friend"
I just seen "Once Upon a time in America" for the first time. A bit long but well worth it.
