RZA ohhhhh shit OG...... I made that sword 4 u.. Ive been qurantined so long❤👍👍
Cold World
Wasn't a battle.... It was a showcase of 2 super talented producers.
f a c t s
No awards, no tributes, no fancy ceremony, just a pure celebration of HIP-HOP! *salute*
Word
Fact is DJ Premier is a better produce, but RZA is a Top 5.
analog crunch I wouldn’t say “better”. RZA’s production is just as refined as Preem. But I’d say Preem is the more prolific producer. RZA hardly did much outside of the Wu, whereas Preem branched out way outside Gangstarr.
I can listen to RZA talk all day. He truly is the Abbott in every sense of the word.
Too much of YouknowImean man LOL
He’s a walking talking encyclopedia, my ears wide open
No Donnell Rollings to fuck it up
Except he isn't an actual Abbott, so exactly not in the only true sense of the word.
@@Le_Petomane He is whatever he wants to call himself. That's a street nickname that his brothers call him. Not that whitey from the suburbs would understand.
Since the battle with Premo I've been watching so many interviews and so much content with the RZA. What a stand-up man and class act for the entire hip-hop community! Dude is an icon, a legend, and a role model. His passion and dedication to the art shines through each time he speaks on it
That's dope how he still got Jasmin in the back
yessssssss
nah he should fire her
all she does is laugh and smile in the back..i bet you she didn't even listen to wu tang
@@thdoom81 that's all she gotta do she's a beautiful black woman she's intelligent so what more she gotta do 🤷🏽♂️
Loving what the community has been doing during all of this. From RZA v Preemo to Will Smith & DJ Jazzy Jeff doing their thing and now this.
@Street Spirit I remember after 911, Chuck D opened his home on Long Island to PE fans. So much creativity came of that situation. This feels the same
Link to Will & Jazzy Jeff?
@@SixTenVisuals czcams.com/video/LPBfT1nxkYk/video.html
@Street Spirit The producer of that album (plus many other PE tracks/albums and videos) is C Doc. He was one of the fans invited out to in 2002. Jahi PE 2.0 also used to post on the long gone Enemy Board, on the PE.com website. Fans have formed a huge part in the PE tactic since they left Def Jam.
Oh beep! Geocaching Mannnn, that was dope.
Wanna see Rza on Tyson podcast too. Tyson podcast always gets deep
That would be DOPE!!!!!
My man. Scruggs!
This right here!..... Great shout!....👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Lau Tzu and the DMT Toad
Word....
It is an injustice that The Mighty RZA is not properly respected as an amazing Emcee and Lyricist. He is super intelligent and talented!!!! The Mighty RZA!!!! Bung bung yo!!!!!
Quality over quantity when it comes to fans is most important
Agreed, his pen game is so slept on.
Salute RZA... that breakdown of veganism as the pillar of a calculated natural ecosystem was one of the most well spoken, concise explanations I have heard. plant based for about a year now.
jpog ... keep on! And please consider transitioning to a fruit-based diet via the Teachings of Arnold Ehret.
lol plant based is NOT good for you...read up its awful.
analog crunch ... no FRUIT based sucker
Man I could listen to RZA for hours he speaks truth and knowledge and is just a very smart man and that’s why I grew up on WU Tang skateboarding in Denver Colorado through the city in the 90s
“Havoc run through your county like the Maverick, caps through the tablets I gots to make the fabrics” 🐐👐🏼
Here comes the Gravediggaz.
🔥 🔥 🔥
"Runs through ur county like the maverick?" Tf that mean?
What do "got to make the fabrics" mean 🤔
@@suttlestress It means gotta make money
When you Own a WU TANG Cd..you don't just listen to it..you Listen ,Learn,and Keep your CD like a Book to study for Years to Come!!!!!!!!!!!
You have to listen to that wu tang joint again, wu tang again, ahh yeah again and again......
RZA must be the coolest father in the World yo.
This was excellent to listen to
Rza to the kids - time for bed, bong bong.....
@@Dannysince1985 Lol.
This should have gone on for three hours minimum. Excellent stuff. Respect to Talib and Rzarecta
Me and the RZA connect blow a fuse you lose, half ass crews get demolished and bruised.
R B that’s hard
Purple tape
Fake be frontin', hourglass heads niggaz be wantin'
Shuttin' down your slot; time for pumpin'
Poisonous sting which thumps up and act chumps
Raise a heavy generator....
But yo, guess who's the black Trump?
Incarcerated Scarfaces 😤
Rollin like Trump and get ya meat lumped!
Peace to Talib & Jasmine, it Is a great podcast. My favorite next to Lord Jamar & Rah Digga's Godcast, never miss a show. And Wutang will always, be my favorite mcs next to PE & the Gods Brand Nubian.
Lord Jamar is so out of touch with today, Digga needs to do her own thing. The way he just hates on Em cause he's white is pathetic. When you have people like Taking saying Em is the greatest to ever do it, Jamar isn't even the 2nd best in Brand Nubian
@@politic1148 You are entitled to your opinion, but that is still my brother. And he & the gods, are hiphop greats plain & simple.
@@politic1148 em is wack its just an honest overlook grow up people feel him or dont ! Hes in touch so your wrong
The W that logo the greatest logo in rap history
💯
“See the logo? A monument in hip hop, carved out from a giant landscape of broken rocks...”-GZA
leonard bangura 👐🏿 facts
I’d say the Public Enemy logo is right up there too!
Facts
Rza for president. Love that dude.
My mind just got blown..Rza got knowledge of self (he was born) the same year I was born and Wu tang clan(also all affiliated) started my process and presented the most precious jewels, I truely feel blessed to have been able to hear the things I needed to hear to be the man I am now
I'm always glad to hear from Rza. The Rza Premo battle was amazing. I could feel the energy the whole time. This show keeps bringing it. Another great episode. Props to Kweli
That Afro Samurai soundtrack was a banger front to end.
RZA's thoughts on unity explains so much about Wu Tang and how they move. Beyond their own quality, this mindset has allowed the group to continue and flourish.
RZA: The criminal justice system has been criminal to us...
Talib: ok
Kweli, I'm proud of you, man! Keep it up!!
I knew he was going to say Kid with the Golden Arms. That's my favorite too RZA! 💯
Kweli you are my hero bro. I'm watching 2 Nubian Kings drop science on a Saturday because of you!
i really love jasmines smile and excitement in the top left. honestly talib and jasmine r the perfect team to have amazing stars on
Peopleparty best podcast out right now hands down.been killing it lately with these guests
I know RZA been in a lot of movies but that Derailed had me...
Yea he got fuck up nice movie tho
YOOO this is dope! Keep it up Talib and Jasmin!
Talib Kweli and RZA just speaking together about HIPHOP, life and culture is 360 degrees of building in a cypher. Peace
As a Wu fan I think you got the best Wu interviews!! I could listen to Rza for hours!! Hope you can get him back!!!
I enjoyed this Live so much. Thank you Talib Kweli& Rza
What do you think about us doing more live videos?
@@UPROXXVideo you guys definitely gonna have more exposure on this momentum in music history. Go live with Premier!!!!!
Great interview!!
Thank you Kweli 🙏🏿
A platform that finally gave that “celebration” it’s deserved perspective. It was beautiful man! Seriously, for the heads that came up during that hip hop era, we been waiting decades for that moment. Let’s not forget BIG, Guru, Dirty, Big L..., wasn’t here in the physical but man...they resurrected they spirits in that celebration.
Strong Shout Out to The People's Party, Big Up Talib and The Beautiful Ms. Jaz!!! Big Props to Da Culture, RZA and Primo Addin' On!!! Great Build and Destroy, Keep Up Da Good Work, Love Da Show, Dope!!!
9:48 it is like a finger pointing away to the moon... Don't concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory - BRUCE LEE
LOL different but the same meaning. I believe on Gravel Pit Rza uses samples from Enter The Dragon.
@@Blitz976 it's not but it does sound like it!!
You are making me miss enter the Dragon 😂😁😀
Wu tang changed the world 👐❤️💪
Changed my world for sure. For the better! They provided me with a better tomorrow.
Bong bong
God bless RZA he really is at peace. He has knowledge, wisdom, and understanding.
Thanks for getting together at the Hard Rock in Hollywood, FL.
I first saw Wu in ‘95 at the Cameo in Miami and Qweli (Lyricist Lounge) in ‘98.
It meant a lot!
Literally just watched 36 Chambers and Return to 36 Chambers on Netflix
I was waiting for Rza to drop All that I got . He would've made Preemo cry and leave the room. Not only was that an all time lyrical performance by Ghost , but the beat belongs in the Pantheon of the musically creative as well.
@@marcusmessiah19 yea man ineed. Rza had a lot more meat on the bone to go
Classic Battle. Another is needed. Amen!
Wu-Tang Forever! Big up The queen Jasmin, Talib & The RZA
Thank you Talib and Jasmin! It was awesome. Really entertaining as always,probably my favorite episode so far! I love Rza and the whole Wu as much as I love Kweli and Mos! Peoples party is definetly my favorite podcast out there! Keep up the good work guys! Lookin' forward to the next one! Peace!
Another classic interview
There’s so much knowledge here. You can watch this twice a year and still catch new gems each time.
DOPE! This gon be a great convo. That night was fucking epic man.
Rest in Power to the God Freedom Allah aka Poppa Wu .
massive props for these interviews, this is my favourite podcast in the hip hop world at the moment. great interviewing teqhniques letting the guests get deep into the subjects. this interview reminded me about when I saw Blackstar show in London 2 years ago and RZA jumped on stage with the guys and did 4th Chamber, great gig
Real wisdom by real successful artist. Being reversing the interview the whole sunday.
Man, just, thank u Talib, and it definitely only felt like 5 min, when u had to cut it cuz of Instagram, i was like naaaa c'mooooon. But I definitely appreciate ur work, peace.
Ghost Dog was a classic I love hearing Sir Digital speak with no interruptions he is an enlightened man and much love to Talib and Jasmin for giving him a platform to share his understanding and reasoning to the world.
Two of the most intelligent people period. So cool to see this interview. 💪
I usually get goosebumps from music, rarely from interviews, I love and appreciate real talk
Great to see strong intelligent brothers and sisters.
I was mad hype when the mentioned a season 2 for the wu saga
This guy is on a roll lately. IG live battle, this and the library interview.
RZAAAA Bobby Digital
Loved Rza and Premo verzus.
Cant wait for Babyface vs Teddy Riley tonight
For real, they are duelling too?
What!!!!!! What platform is that on????
Thanks UpRoxx!!! Another awesome interview.
Much Appreciation.
Rza influenced me a lot. I learned so much from the Wu. So many east coast mc’s took that Rza sound and are running with it like Westside Gunn Roc Marciano I love ir✊🏾
His face when he said "I had a great time." So peaceful and joyful at the same time. Hero.
I attended a show in Austin, roster: KRS-1, Blackalicious, Talib Kweli, etc. Black people were few, he chatted with us from the stage. I felt connected and part of a community. Thank you Talib.🙂
Hats off to Rza, one of my favorite artists and favorite groups of all time thank you for the Wu-tang Clan!!! Nuff respect to you and Talib Kweli!!! Both inspiring to me and my craft!!!!
Damn! He was just getting into the good film stuff I was curious about. You guys have to do a part 2 to this interview and talk about his film career. Thank you for this 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾
I'm familiar with both brothers work but for some reason this interview indeed should be seen by the masses.. Great job.. Salute!!
Great interview

Two phenomenal producers. Another brotherly battle for hip- hop.
That was a incredible battle between you n Preme I enjoyed the story's both of you guys shared between most songs
