love this content, thanks for this

Naaahmeeeen?

“…armed with the Roland MV-8000” Hahaha

This interview/explanation of this Roland and his luv for the MC 909 is EPIC!!!!!

Stop the debating. Pharaoh Monch is the greatest MC.

Rip 👑 on my All Time Top 5 Dj / Producer list…..I heard his break beat tapes and Red Alert promos….the rest is History!

Shout out Dilla Rip And Mike Jew too….I remember those CDs.

Where are my comments from those years ago? Hahahah I just saw them on another video from that night…hahaha.

Dope! been a fan since the Stretch Time 10” on Blak Hoodz

infinite source of inspiration, dude is a legend 👌

How’s he getting the pads to cut each other off?

Rza is a highly advanced robot from the future.

Eminem took PHAROAH style period

I had one and the workflow drove me crazy

SPEKALASHUNS

Here in 2023, FOR THE ALGORITHM!!

If Jedi was an emcee.

Oberheim dx drum machine. Wonder what the bass synth is?

Stay blessed

WTF 14 years ago! I came back here for a reason x

Great producer.

Hip Hop at it's finest salute to a certified beat king 👑🎤🥁🎧🎹💾💽📀💿

He shined the brightest when he was using ENSONIQ samplers.

Id love to know how to use equipment like this..and afford it

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. ☠️

Wow this brings back memories. I grew up on watching this.

This should be in the Smithsonion

Met The God back in 98. I was supposed to be on The Swarm Pt 2. 👐

Worst accent ever

I don't know how I found this video 10 years ago but it blew my mind.

👐🐝

This was on when I was a kid. Can’t believe I still remember it.

This was all I cared about!!

My brain was processing the bars 3 line after. 🤣

"foundated" lol

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 I wonder if that included State Of Grace because that RZA beat was classic and originally made for CL2 as the lead single before it got delayed.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think parts of Wu-Tang's 8 Diagrams and RZA's Digi Snacks had to have been made in there too, since Unpredictable was originally made for CL2 under the title Thug World, and You Can't Stop Me Now ft.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.

Been looking for this for years thanks!

Goat

Fascinating to hear him talk about gear like this

Thought he was from staton Island not Brooklyn

Native of Brooklyn? 🤨

WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THAT WOMAN WITH THAT STEREOTYPICAL 9#ETT0 VOICE?

so glad this in on the internet

Here from Eminem saying that he uses the MPC 2000 on Square Dance's Genius annotation, lol

Love it. For a long time now I’ve been watching bus driver. Incredible.

It's great to hear RZA nerding over MV80000

🔥

RZA could rhyme to the beat of rain drops, he could rhyme to the beat of a train.... actually he doesn't have to rhyme and still make his voice heard

Main man didn't touch not one of the pads for a demo..... boring ass advertisement. 😂
