This song practically never leaves my rotation, but it definitely reminds me of winter of '95. Played the video religiously off a VHS of old Rap City videos I used to tape when it first came out.
And I forgot, but U-God is all up in the second Sunz Of Man video I posted ("The Plan"). He's riding in the speedboat up front during 60 Second Assassin's verse.
And he's the only dude in the video besides the extras that NOT a member of Sunz of Man
ask his monkey ass this sheit!"You always asking me 'why' I don't fukking know why. Get RZA in here and ask him that sucka ass shyt"

What i dont understand about this is if you rapped over some beats to the point where you finished an album, if those tracks are lost surely you can remember the framework of the beats. He couldnt hum them joints to job RZA memory and recreate them?
Cmon dog these are hundreds of beats made over countless hours. Sampled from certain albums, mixing board set just right, vibes from certain moments, random little tidbits. I remember somebody saying RZA sampled a dryer. Plus you for random vocals from dudes just coming in and dropping verses. Impossible to recreate the entire vibe and mood. Once you start recording again people in different states, mics set at different levels, boards at different levels, acoustics change, vibe changes. Rhymes that once worked don’t work no more.
Im not talking about Rza knowing all his beats off the rip and just remaking them. Im talking about Deck not knowing how the 12 or so specific beats he made an album to sounded. He should know the framework of those beats and from that he could jog RZAs memory on those specific beats and come back with something similar. It may not be exact but if the beats were so nice they would have been better than whatever was made from scratch later.
So Deck was supposed to be like “RZA you don’t remember how the beat went on track four? it was like ‘hunna buh buh boom, da duh boom’ with some horns in the back”
Cmon breh, seriously you have to realize how ridiculous what you are saying is.

Maybe its because ive been involved with music all my life so i expect a little much but yeah, if this is your album you should be able to tell someone how the music went. You do realize artists have done the exact thing you are clowning with musicians and come back with some of the hottest tracks ever. MJ was known for doing just that, James Brown was known for doing just that, etc...
If you put me in a room with a group of producers/musicians i would be able to tell them how to create something that sounds like Gravel Pit without a problem. If you put me in the room with the nikka who made the damn song id be able to give him enough of a lead that he would remember how he made it and we would come pretty damn close to recreating it.
All i can say is too bad Deck and RZA didn’t have you around during the pre flood recording sessions. If you were there history would have be rewritten, Deck woulda had the platinum album and Bobby Shmurda may have never been locked up.
Was "fast shadow" after the double cd?
Cause if so UGod full of shyt

Yeah, I don't think cats fully appreciate how difficult it is to recreate a lost beat when you have hundreds of them stored across thousands of disks.
It would be literally impossible to recreate without a specific log of what type of drums you used, how it was arranged, which samples went where, etc.
I've been around producers that have lost beats due to their MPCs and other samplers no longer be able to read floppy disks. I can't fathom a dusted out Rza with a thousand projects, side ventures, tours, and life in general being able to recreate shyt during that era. He claims he doesn't even know where he sampled "Glaciers Of Ice" from so he could never recreate it. And that's a beat he could access at anytime today.

It's the inner strength..
U God is bipolar. Let him have his moment.
This whole interview is funny af. I was making a joke that he needs a snickers bar, but it turned out he really hungry. At one point, he goes "My stomach is growling"
