Ghost's verse on Holocaust Silkworm was nice, but Holocaust stole the show with that opening verse
what's the name of that song where RZA said he named his song "Holocaust (Silkworm) because of Holocaust verse on the song?

no
he was never going to be a hip hop star, obviously
like i said in an earlier post, he would've been popular among hip hop nerds and heads had he stayed clear of drugs and not lost his mind.

You can't go by 2023 ethics. Back in 1998-99 that name ain't a problem for a non-commercial rapper like that. I don't recall a single fuss being made over the name. That Bobby Digital video was getting played all the time on music channels, and his name wasn't blurred out or nothing.
His style would never equate to being big, especially after Canibus flamed out. But it would have been nice to hear an album from him over Wu Elements production of that era

Tides in Hip Hop had started changing then.
That's why in my opinion 98 is the last great year of Hip Hop.
shyt was so balanced musically wise on all coast.
He was dope but he wouldn't have hit mainstream.

Old interview with Holocaust from 2002
warcloud.freeforums.net
October 7th, 2002:
X-Calibur: Do you wanna start off by introducing yourself?
Alcatraz: My name is Alcatraz, Warcloud, Frank Holocaustal.
X: Where did the names Alcatraz and Warcloud come from?
A: Those always were my names.
X: Were you happy with the sales of your two internet releases?
A: Uhhh...Yeah!
X: When will the "Alcatraz Jigsaw Puzzle" LP be released?
A: I'm not sure yet.
X: Are you still working on "The Escapism"?
A: Nah, nah, nah. I quit that project. The "Alcatraz Jigsaw Puzzle" is finished, I just haven't released it yet.
X: Are you planning on releasing that album over the internet or are you gonna wait 'til you get on a label?
A: I don't know how exactly I'm going to do it yet, really.
X: Why did you leave the Black Knights?
A: Oh, because we didn't get along, we got into too many arguments.
X: How did you hook up with North Star?
A: Oh, with North Stars?
X: Yeah.
A: We all used to know each other, we all used to kick freestyles together. Black Knights Of The North Star.
X: Are you gonna be on the North Star album?
A: I don't know. I did some tracks with 'em, but I don't know if they're gonna use those tracks, I dunno.
X: There was rumors that you've done a track with Killah Priest, can you give us some more information?
A: I've done tracks with Killah Priest. I've done tracks with the whole
Wu-Tang before, it's just they haven't been released. RZA isn't choosin' to release 'em, but I've done tracks with every Wu-Tang member before.
X: Which emcees are you feelin' right now?
A: Nobody. I'm only really feelin' my own shyt right now.
X: What's your favorite Wu-album?
A: "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx."
X: Who in the Wu are you most close to?
A: The RZA.
X: What inspired you to become an emcee?
A: I started writing poetry in 3rd grade, but I didn't really start takin' it seriously 'til I was a Sophomore at high school.
X: How did you hook up wit' Skarekrow?
A: I known him for years.
X: Do you have any more tracks from your Holocaust era and will you ever spit a Holocaust-style verse again?
A: Well, that style is called Mixed Forest Zone. I might feature it again. The new style is called Old Jail Pajama Room.
X: Do you have a favorite track that you've done?
A: Probably "The Last Hovering Castle."
X: Do you have any favorite verses that you've done?
A: I don't know. My verses from "Smugglin' Booze In The Graveyard", and "America", "America" got good verses too.
X: Are you planning to appear on any upcoming Wu-albums?
A: Not that I know of, unless they use the tracks we did before.
X: Which of your styles do you personally prefer?
A: I personally prefer Old Jail Pajama Room as to Mixed Forest Zone, because I felt I needed to get out of the woods a little bit and bring it down to a street level, underground hip hop style feel.
X: There were rumors of a beef between you and 9th Prince, can you tell us more about that?
A: Yeah, I fought him one time, and whooped his ass. He setted on me, and I fought him for half-an-hour, we got into it. But we been cool ever since that, that was years ago. We did get into a bloody fight one time in Manhattan.
X: I heard he jumped you from behind.
A: Yeah yeah, he did jump me from behind, but I whooped his ass. My leg's always been good since I was a kid. I still whooped him for half-an-hour, and he didn't want none. I kept putting him down and putting him down, but he kept getting back up. I mean, he's like three times the size of me.
He kept getting back up and back up, but I kept putting him back down and back down, I mean, it was a bloody battle for half-an-hour. At the end, he bowed down, and I ain't have a problem with him after that. We used to be real good friends before that though. We still pretty good friends now.
X: Do you have any advice for aspiring MC's and producers?
A: Practice makes perfect.
X: So how did you hook up with Wu-Tang?
A: Years ago, I met them at a Unity in '98, no, '97.
X: What Monstar Mob projects are you workin' on?
A: Right now I'm just doing my underground thing with the Weapons Factory, and we're shoppin' a solo deal and I'm not really willing to put a foot behind it until I finish my underground album.
X: That's all the questions I got.
A: Well you have a swell day now, peace.
X: Peace.

In hindsight. I only like his Holocaust verse. That's it. Quite a disappointment
