What yall know bout going to bestubuy during your workshift in a heavy south florida lightning storm to cop this on release day then almost hydroplaning the whip into a tree to have onlookers come up to the car to see if you alright but then they start bobbin their head to nutmeg when they open the door and you all forget what happened cuz you was lost in the moment. Thats what the rza does to you and thats how we did it back in my day, let nikkas die in wrecks cuz the music was too good!
What you know about playing two CDs on the Sony joint with NO skip protection for a whole school year

As stated by me and confirmed by Tua WHO WAS THERE rza and ghost re-mixed and re mastered every beat.

from Blaze magazine interview:

Blaze- RZA mixed and arranged the album, as well as executive produced it. How did that change the role of the other producers?

Ghostface- Really, the producers were never there. They just brought they beats through. I picked them out, then we laid it down. I didn't really start to fukk with it till a couple months later once I had all my rhymes together. So then we [Ghost & RZA] arranged the beats around my rhymes.

Word is Ghost was in benin(@Tuaminator @BuddahMAC ) and wrote the rhymes prior to the beats even being thought of. That'd explain the sparse drums, although there's a changeup about once every 30 seconds with a drum roll. Sample was probably a guitar chord looped. shyt is tough .

from Source magazine interview:

"Nutmeg is a wild song," he offers, his eyes widening with enthusiasm. "That shyt's one of the illest styles I ever came up with 'cause I had no music. The shyt was just wild."

I agree. But RZA barely played a role in that album

Cuban Linx 2 was first done largely with RZA at the helm & the core of the album is the stuff done with RZA, not only that he directly produced, but what he was helping Rae select & assemble. All the Dilla stuff, all the Scram Jones stuff, talking to Dre (not sure how far they recorded yet there) etc... were all in that early version. Then Rae went for Aftermath off of Wu Music Group & then did his own thing independently ultimately but most of that early version remains in the final product

and "In the Wise" is boring.

naw, that's a perfect tribute track as only Ghost could do



Just the way it drunkenly and emotionally goes back and forth between morning & remembering General Wise to the anger and threats on the people who killed him. Great, great song.

Although I always liked the replayed instrumentation on the Stevie J version over the original Dramatics cut although the Dramatics vocals & Ghost's talking after the verse work better than Mr. Dalvin's vocals.

if youre talking about rza and him taking beats from guys like the beatnuts or ghostface barber producing nutmet :mjlol:
its because for one, you need a REALLY competent guy to do that, i am serious. I like to think im some great producer who can make you sound better and carry any mc with my beats, but when you are talking taking others beats and trying to mesh them together like that, that is a serious undertaking for one.

For two, lets be honest here, there arent really that many TOP LEVEL producers in the game anymore, im not talking about guys that "MAKE HITZ" or "IM HOT FOR 10 SUMMERZ nikka"

im talking about guys who really take it serious, guys like alhcemist, statik selektah, j-dilla, even fukking kanye at one point, just blaze blah blah blah, dj quik etc, that type of project making producer is a dying breed. Newer guys like mike will and tyler are of this mold IMO (i dont even listen to either but i can hear the talent in their work and they make cohesive projects)

its just not easy to do, takes alot of time and alot of these bum ass systrus warriors dont have the talent to do it.
What he said @mr. smoke weed

And having 10 diff "hot" producers on the album is good promotion. Ppl will see the tracklist and get geeked...

100% the opposite of a square. He's Ghost's blood cousin (looks like a fat version of him), is from the P's and cuts hair for any and everybody. Solid, solid brother. Good dude. Mad jokes. Empathetic cat. do right guy in a do wrong world. Not a punk. At all.
Is he big moe from the shelter ??
