Brooklyn MC, Masta Killa discusses meeting GZA back in the early 90s and how the friendship inspired him to become a rapper and eventually a member of the Wu-Tang Clan. He says at first he was just fan of hip-hop and would hang around GZA as he pursued his music. That all changed the moment, he heard a rough version of "Protect Ya Neck" and was wowed by it even though it only had 4 of the members on it at that time.
After that, he tried his hand at writing raps, and the first bars he ever wrote in his life became "Da Mystery of Chessboxin'" on 36 Chambers. Listen to Masta Kills talk the early beginnings and how it was a financial struggle recording music at first. - Zábava

I got in trouble in junior high school for drawing a Wu Tang symbol on a test paper. They said it was a gang symbol. That's the closest I felt to being a part of Wu Tang Clan... getting detention for the Wu.
don skeezy I lived out in Germany for a year when I was a kid. At the time Wu-Tang & No-Limit were topping the muthafucking charts. I bullshit you not, I walked into that school on my first day with a No-Limit tank shirt on and was instantly sent to the principles office and expelled from the school. Apparently, them fucking military brats had turned Wu-Tang & No-Limit into a gang and they were rivals. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lol!!!! Dang. I'm a big No Limit fan ironically. Those are two of my favorite movements.
don skeezy lol me too. I'm from the boot, I was raised up on No-Limit. 💪🏽

This is a gathering of the masses that come to pay respects to the Wu Tang Clan
word
The crowd now screams in rage the high chief Jamal Arief takes the stage
I still okay his part back over and over
He really had the best verse on “The Mystery of Chessboxin” IMO. That’s saying a lot, cause Deck and U-God murdered their verses as well.
And ODB
That’s why he’s a masta
Nah ghostface had the best
Killa, Ghost, ODB, Deck, Kwon, U in that order for that track.
@@MFjaYWiLL ODB's verse on that is one of my all-time favourites, but for real it's amazing that we all have different fave verses for the same song, that's how you know a posse cut is truly fire
I've probably listened to 36 chambers over 1,000 times and just now realized MK only had one verse on the album..🤔.. but dayum it was such a memorable verse !
Was my favourite verse before I even realised it was his only one!! Incredible!!
@@PropaMusicUK this right here attacks the immune system disguised like a lie paralyzing the victim
Same! He had the best verse on the album so I felt he was featured all over.
Damn he got the best case of "being at the right place at the right time".....
baltimoregreg3 word!!
This guy is extremely cool, I had the pleasure of meeting him at a small concert he and Inspectah Deck did. They both chatted and took pictures with me, my friend and cousin. MK shook each of our hands and thanked us for our support.
Did he call you Jimmy?
@@trentbateman 🤣
Lol there's a reason nobodies shake hands.... Because they are no bodies 😂🤣
Not really.
Soft spoken, humble dude.... I see why he don’t do many interviews haha but that’s my man and always supported dude! WU TANG FOREVER!!!!
This dude and the clan raised me
Word.
Wayne Watanabe facts Lord, raise me from 15 , don't know where i"ll be at without the knowledge of the wu
Wayne Watanabe me too
wait which clan

His verse on Mystery Of Chessboxin is one of the coldest I've ever heard.
He wrote one of the best verses in hip hop history
Master Killer didnt even have to say another verse ever after Chess Boxing. That shit was iconic.

Death ONLY one can save SELF from
The relentless... attack of the track spares NONE -Masta Killa
Yo, yo, yo FUCK THAT look at all these crab niggaz laid back .... -high pitched Ghostface voice
The BEAUTY of 9-10 different men ALL talented, ALL bars, ALL different UNIQUE flows, ALL different Voice tones! To hear such a Calm but, Powerful voice with hardly NO curses & monotone (never changing the pitch of his voice or switching cadence) in *MK* to.... hearing such a AMPED, high pitched rapper that not only curse but, uses such colorful words & changes the velocity of his voice from every other word with *GFK.* That shows such *"CONTRAST"* & when 9-10 people show ALOT of Contrast & Difference but, the track is tightly produced & it captures ONE cohesive-collective direction & intent! That's just ONE of the MANY dynamic's that make Wu-tang soo *Legend!*

Fukn legend!!! He murked 'Assassination day' on Ironman
lol..just had that on repeat before seeing this vid
The Thoro Network Word yeh I've been playn Ironman a bit lately. I've gone bak n listening to GZA's albums after Liquid Swords, like Pro Tools n stuff. Kinda slept on em. Beneath the Surface was ok.
BEN-OFFICIAL MASSIVE yes he did
My favorite wu song
One of the illest verses in hip-hop and it was his 1st wow
GZA helped structure it
The WU doesn’t have any worst member, go back and listen to his verses his sword is always sharp, never WACK
MK has some of the best verses. Incredibly slept on
U god is the worst
RZA at times is shit especially on triumph
@@williambishop4737 he's still good tho his solo songs "Dats Gangsta" and Pleasure Or Pain" are great but I agree.
ItsA Bang off melody but diverse
we have an apb on a mc KILLA
looks like the work of a MASTA
that song comes full circle with his verse...
"I was rollin. Showing my Age, unshaven. / Rugged with my Timberland that's paid. I walk with a slight lean from the weight of my heat/ Given the Green to shine Infra Red beam at the Street/ Traffic light recorders. Taking pictures of our corners/ Cameras on the sides of buildings, we destroy them." - Masta Killa (One Blood under W)

Your style is to local to fuck with this

No Said Date is top 5 Wu solo albums, probably top 3. This man is a pure lyricist.
Krishnan Sen Slept On Classic
helllllll no. pretty good album but that's a reach.
Krishnan Sen DTD, School, Digiwarfare and Silverbacks, classics!!!!
No Said Date was the last album I bought in a record store lol
You think it's better than GFK album "The Pretty Toney Album" that released the same year?
His verse on 'Glaciers of Ice' is possibly one of the greatest deliveries in rap. "proceed with caution as you enter the symphony, degrees of punishment increase intensely"
"Violent temperaments left continents dented
Poison vintage wine rhymes I invented"
MK killed everybody
One of my all time favourite Rap verses is Master Killa on “Mystery of Chess Boxing” - and now that I kno it was his first ever rap just makes it even more incredible for me!! Wu the greatest group of all and any times!!
Innovation goes a long way. Masta Killa's flow was inspired by hanging around GZA and being influenced by the atmosphere at RZA's house and this is what that created. When you're around dope MC's and you wanna fit in, you're not gonna suck. It inspired him to be as dope as possible and probably innovated him to explore something he didn't even know he was capable of. In that environment, discipline and dedication is what it takes..... and trying to compete with other great talent, makes even better talent. That's why hip-hop is trash today....it's basically "I gotta out mumble them to stand out on this track to get a career" or "I better do something ignorant for attention to build instagram followers so I can start a talentless career in something else."
No Said Date is a masterpiece

Get goosebumps everytime I hear his verse on Da Mystery of Chessboxin
Masta Killa's verse on Triumph is easily the most underrated on the song, and easily the most lyrical, content-wise, Wu verse of all time.
murr395 it's the wackest verse since he's not rapping and just talking in a monotone voice. Saying something "deep" isn't enough if he says it with no charisma
Kinda stupid to dub a "worst" verse when all of them are great. He doesn't say it without charisma. He says it with big ass gravitas
I always come back to that song to listen to his verse, and that song is what got me into Wu Tang
XBR4Da The deaf are mostly intrigued by the drum
@@domnel3981 lmao it's the dumb, not deaf. "Giving sight to the blind/The dumb are mostly intrigued by the drum/Death (deaf) only one can save self from"
Vlad pronounces Twista, Masta Killa, and Rockafella as "Twister, Master Killer, and Rockafeller". It's cringe AF.
rock a feller LMAO
Don't forget Salt N Pepper instead of Pepa. Super cringe.
Masta! That's one of the gods right there. A true master of hip hop, thus the name. I appreciate u, slim. Thank u for ur timeless contributions to this art I cherish so much.
Da Mystery of Chessboxin’ my favorite Wu song. I can listen to the chorus all day
Niggaz act like MK wasn't killing dudes on their own songs before his debut album.
John Dough
Real shit
He seems like the kindest/nicest man ever ... BIG UP MASTA KILLA
Finally a dope guest, ain't had anybody of quality since Slim Jesus. #Wu

It was super rough for a lot of black youth growing up in NY. No one really was getting money unless you were a hustler, booster, pocket digger, diamond snatcher (Before rap) or stick up kid.
Watch Part 2: goo.gl/7w58ZV
The track's rendered helpless and suffers from multiple stab wounds and leaks sounds that's heard, 93 million miles away from came one to represent the nation..
*Canaan
A man of few words, super humble, super sweet. Protect ya Neck is my first hip hop experience. But when i heard Chessboxin'... i was a fan forever. Still listen to those first 2 albums all the time... especially 36 Chambers.
Raekwon Featuring Masta (The Table) Best Killa verse.
Deftones 26 agreed
Immobiliarity album that joint was my shit
Raekwon Feat. Ghostface Killah & Masta Killa - Glaciers Of Ice (Best Killa verse)
"I make knowledge born to save self!"
One of my fav songs ever, late 90s shit through rough times.
Give thanks HighChiefJamelIreief
11 to the 7
Deftones 26 u know your history god, respect
This guy is so laid back, subdued and introverted.. he makes Inspectah Deck look like Raekwon the Chef.
he is just chill
I love how VLAD “remember” when stuff came out even though he googled it to prepare for the interview 🤣
Glad to see this interview good looking Vlad 👍
masta killa in my top 5 doa, he so raw and lyrical. nobody perfected the slow flow like him.

Everything masta Killa and Gza put together is a fucking master piece 💯👐🏽

People forget him and Killah Priest was competiting for that song.. Killah Priest fell asleep and masta killa finished his verse so that's how he got on according to Killah Priest.. KP one of the best out the wu universe
Some of the most memorable versus in all of Wu!
He's always been one of my favorites. His verses are always so unique

I rented No Said Date from the library, and it was dope!
“It’s The Masta Coming At Cha” 🥷🏾⚔️🔥
"THE MASTA KILLA" (rza voice intro for clan in da front)
Vlad why this legendary WU member interview so short..you be having all these nobody heard of them interviews for hours? ??
KILLA BEAST there'll be another 4-5 parts
The Big F Word I can't wait he hardly speak..love to hear his views and gain some knowledge. ..
KILLA BEAST for definite. It's cool to see WU tang interviews in any form.
Frank Peter Facts..lol. .now that I think about it..
Always love this dude
Finally Vlad doing interviews that are actually interesting
Masta Killah’s verse on Mantis 🔥
“Holding the raw seal, all heads kneel”
Incredible verse.
Masta Killa! He's so dope. Wu-Tang Forever!
i havent heard a word but thank you this is a classic!
1 of the all time greatest verses!
I still can not believe Masta Killa had the best Verse on Mystery of the Chestbox and had just began rapping.
No Said Date and Made In Brooklyn are some of the Best Hip Hop albums of the 2000s
Very humble soft spoken
its crazy you just post this. i just was listening to ghostface 12 ways to die album and masta killa verse on "I declare war" verse. wow
1 of the Rawest from the Wu. Frisco pushing thru!!
Yo, masta looks so chill and good
Yes VLAD this is WU-TANG enough for me! Thank you :D
The fact that it was his first rhyme he ever wrote is insane because that verse is one of the best on the album IMO and a standout on the song as well.
so that's why him and gza sounds similar
So crazy to just walk into something like that so unwittingly. The universe works in mysterious ways. His laugh when he thinks back to the days of stealing canned food. Life is a wild ride sometimes.
This is the best timed flashback ever
Much Respect to the Masta Killa from Montreal !!!!
How can Hip Hop be dead if Wu Tang is FOREVER? 🐝👐🏼 #MastaKillah #WuKillaBee
He’s so calm
Nicest dude ever.... so cool in person
Automatic thumbs up; salute to the Clan.
The battle was won by swords being swung!
His verse on Da Mystery of Chessboxin is hands down my favorite wu tang verse
MK seems so chill and laid back ...
I don't know what it was about Masta Killa but i always loved him going back to the first album when i first got it in 94 when i was only 8 years old and especially after Forever hit ...but he so chill and the few interviews I've seen him just make me love him even more as an underground member of an underground clique dude seem like the kinda cat I'd like to chill with and I'm not a people person
No said date , is one of my fav albums!
We have an apb on an mc killa! Looks like the work of a masta!
Masta Killa - Medina East New York
I always liked his name and lyrics.
The masta b killing it
His verse on high price small reward is fucking insane
We got a A
apb on a M.C. KIllah... looks like the work of a MASTER!!!
Masta Killa albums be so f*ckin' {{HARD}}!!!! His new joint is FIRE!!!
The “Oh we love you Rakeem” joint is still that sh*t haha.
This nigga ripped Glaciers of Ice.
Awesome
I heard that GZA was Masta Killa blood nephew.
My dude rocking a Broncos hat. Gets even better!!
"No Said Date" is one of the most underrated Wu solo albums.
For only having written one rhyme in his life, becoming a part of the Wu isn't bad work 😂 😂
Masts Killa, is in a class of his own.....
Masta Killa my all time favourite Wu member
More more more more!!!!
