Will we ever see a producer have a run like RZA did from 36 chambers...

honestly? Yeah. I'ma say here like I done said it other places.

RZA is the Father of modern hip hop. And naw I don't mean this skate rap shyt.

Not counting his contributions as a producer.....

Large group of MCs able to stand on their own?

Almost every MC signed to other labels while still able to work as a unit with the larger group under their own label?

Group name as a Brand name with their stamp on everything from SUCCESSFUL clothing line (yes I know Naughty Wear came first and Roca-Wear was more successful financially) to Wu-Tang Deodorant? Video Games? Comics? Toys? RZA

Rap nikkas have real names. Wu Tang has real names and then aliases with aliases.



HE didn't invent it, but he sure Thomas Edisone'd that shyt. lol

Hell, it's gonna be nikkas and bytches with that W tattoo'ed on them till they die! Not some shirt or a wifebeater, not some fake chain, not some traffic light running nikka tweeting YOLO, but that BRAND. That "W".

RZA left a scar on the musical landscape- the PLANET while dudes talking producers sold shyt and discovered so-and-so.

Fair comparison...but probably a reach.

I think people are missing what seems to be the point of this thread.

The topic is that no one had a run like RZA did from 92-97. Yeah he made beats before and after but that particular run is unmatched.

I can understand Dre's 88-93 run, as that spans the same amount of years, but people are in here listing entire discographies. Yeah I'll be the first to say that Kanye has basically never made a bad beat, but people talking 2000-2012 up in here, or Dre from 88 til 02.

Aside from Dre, the other span I'd give is to Premier's tri-fecta of Hard to Earn, Livin' Proof and The Sun Rises in The East, only cause that was 3 albums in one year that were pretty much all flawless production wise. Other than that it's RZA's 5 year plan that wins.

RZA talks to Kotori about inventing Final Scratch technology - YouTube

Gonna get hate for this, but... El-P:

- Company Flow: Funcrusher Plus
- Cannibal Ox: Cold Vein
- El-P: Fantastic Damage
- Mr. Lif: I Phantom (production)
- Cage: Hell's Winter (production)
- El-P: I'll Sleep When You're Dead

Quite a run, if you ask me... :leon:
But, I'll admit, it's an acquired taste. I like it...

What made RZA's run unprecedented is those were raw gutter Hip-Hop beats that crossover commercially.

I remember seeing Dre in an interview saying that he intentionally wanted the Chronic beats to be r&bish because of the explicit content.
