This was also a time where rza was exploring other avenues, Wu tang projets on pause..plus his ego was on an all time High!!!!
Was RZA 1 step ahead of the game with Bobby Digital In Stereo or was he just tripping off dust?

Yup, he was feeling himself on this shyt. I always felt like this was his own party since the Wu had all partied so hard after the 97' tour with Rage Against The Machine fell apart; this was RZA way of saying he spent all this money on all this equipment over the years and put his clan on, now he was gonna do something for himself and that he wanted too and Bobby Digital In Stereo was it.
He does mention all this on the Tao of the Wu.lol

Lyrics were trash and unlike Em, Rza's persona was some weird marvel/old kung fu flick amalgamation that just didn't work. It was silly, but far too over the top. The name was cool, I though Rza was going to use more synth's or something to match the name but he didn't, it was just an experimental album wherein he managed to produce hilariously themed songs.

Once you understand it's a freestyle album, you can really appreciate it more, but I was not happy that the RZA who was a lyrical force all over Forever & Pick, Sickle & Shovel a year earlier was nowhere to be found on his own damn solo.
Both.
He really tried to live out that whole persona. He bought a bullet proof Surbaban, bullet proof Digital suit etc.
The album wasn't ahead of its time, just drugged out.
Unspoken Word sounds like shrooms and acid. Everyone talks about beautiful connections with the earth on acid and shrooms and serenity and all that, and that happens sometimes, but sometimes you just feel a stream of intense feelings/thoughts that make you sound crazy or like an animal to a sober person. Thats Unspoken Word and why it's dope. It has that urgency.

Yeah, RZA's performance on the album was all intentionally stream of consciousness. He'd just be going off top and whenever there'd be a gap/pause/something he didn't like, that's where he'd punch in another off top section of verse & tie them all together.
That "Do You Hear The Bells" cut is an unedited example of what he did on most the rest of the album by just flowing for his verses.
