Assassination Day has always been my favorite Rza beat. It's so damn ill. The way the beat comes in after the intro at 0:41
:banderas:



Hot97 didnt even play the track past the intro, like they were thinking that was the main beat already. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if that was the case. Brushing it of as some throwaway track...
:camby:

Premier responded to Assassination Day with NY State of Mind, which was a great chess move. Premo rightfully won that round. But Assassination Day is a fukking classic in it's own right.

Aside from the beat, I always loved the boldness of having a posse cut that doesn't feature Ghost on his debut album. Masta Killah, Rza and especially Deck tore the track up something fierce.
:salute:

Everyone was shytting on that track - it definitely isn’t a top 20 RZA track but it’s a great RZA song. Decks verse is impeccable which is why I think he just played it

How Preemo shoot his load at 20 when he barely played any gang starr shyt :mjlol:


Breh could have easily countered Maria with this and blew RZA out of the water


I didn’t mean shoot his load as in he didn’t have any more bangers. Just that he was most likely gonna play his biggest anthem at 20. Which is exactly what he did with the 10 crack commandments. That's when rza came back with Cream....didn't even bother with another story. Dude barely let premo finish before he dropped that Charmels sample :pachaha:......then he came back Triumph and Wu Tang clan ain't nothing to fukk with. These are not just hip hop classics, these are tracks that transcended genre. Mass appeal is a classic but it simply can't stand toe to toe with Cream. Even if we may view CREAM as a little played out today. Nothing will compare to that feeling when you first heard it. Top 5 most influential hip hop track ever. Rza took an eerie piano loop and turned that shyt into a smash hit. Wu ain't nothing to fukk with easily over crooklyn. Triumph over Represent but this is a matter of taste. But just like Cream, Triumph is not just a classic it's iconic. Wu went platinum with an underground posse cut :wow:


Also taking It's Yourz over So Ghetto. This is a matter of preference but it's yourz is just a level above to me. Dark fantasy over Classic. Rza gave Kanye one of his biggest hits on arguably his greatest album ever. Gravel pit is weak but gotta take it over Christina just off GP.

I'm giving premo friend or foe and I gave you power in the bonus round. Also gave him Nas is Like and mathematics easily. Those tracks just had a huge impact on me. Nas is like could very well be the greatest beat of all time. The way premo flipped that shyt is mind blowing:ohlawd:


I think rza won clearly but I have no issue just calling it a draw and leaving it at that. Just depends on who's music impacted you more growing up. And both of em left some of their best shyt in the stash :yeshrug:
