4th Chamber is RZA's greatest beat, right?

Above the fray.
Rza got so many classics but my favorite beat of his is not even Wu related , that's how much of a Goat producer he is. :wow: the sample flip is crazy. So dark, Grimy and Gloomy. But also got that Opera feel :mindblown: true Genius on them boards.



One of my buddies used to bump Gravediggaz HEAVY. Tried to put all of us on to them. We were put off by the horrorcore gimmick, but I cant front on some of the beats.

1. One of RZA's best beats, if not his best beat. Definitely top 5, for me...but

2. One of Ghostface's best verses
3. Arguably Killa Priest's best verse ever (though his verse on Graveyard Chamber on Gravediggaz is neck and neck with this)
4. RZA even came correct with his verse

Honestly, I can understand someone not liking this song - I just know on a deep level - 1) they don't like hip hop, 2) we can only be enemies.

Wu Tang Forever.

I keep copping Wu releases on the chance, the powerball chance, that they might capture something at these Nubian Pyramid Heights...

... man, Knowledge God for me. but RZA production on OB4CL was so crazy. i've said it before, visiting family in Flatbush we rode around Brooklyn listening to Cuban Linx. the album sounded totally different being in NYC, riding around.

i listened to OB4CL a couple days back. IMO, that's the greatest hip hop album ever made.

I tries to put it together. Even with the sample pointed out I couldnt even understand the chop
I'm not convinced thats not even the sample

Sometimes they get it wrong... It happens alot with old 90s tracks that they can't figure out.

The one/two second flute makes sense but the notes that we hear on liquid swords aren't hitting the same notes on the track they think he sampled

When 4th chamber dropped in London 02.. When nas and wu performed together... The crowd went absolutely crazy... I've never seen anything like it.

It's the GOAT beat to me. And Shadowboxin might be in my top 5 and it's the next joint after 4th Chamber :wow:

I've played this album 30 yrs and never knew they had a video for it

That's RZA, RNS & Prince Paul all on the production for that one.
