Looking back, the dents in the armour were starting to show post Wu Forever but after revisiting The Swarm and The Sting, I think RZA fell off right after The Sting.
Iron Flag was.......................
but in 2002 RZA released that compilation The Sting and had some solid beats on there
but then came 2003 and Birth of Prince dropped and that shyt sounded like the complete opposite of RZA when you look back
The RZA's beats on The Sting compared to the beats he produced on Birth of a Prince are like night and day,. lol
