    Default RZA's piano loops

    rza got the best piano loops of all time from "clan in he front" to the crazy "duel of the iron mic". now does he do them on a keyboard or does he sample them?

    they're all sampled. When you hear some of the original songs that they're sampled from, its pretty suprising.

    no they're not all sampled. for 7th Chamber he took a piano preset, detuned it and played the melody himself. he also played the melodies for Shimmy Shimmy Ya and Hippa to the Hoppa rather than sampling them

    but i agree, i love the piano i nduel of the iron mic.

    It's crazy how ill RZA makes a piano sound in a hip hop beat. That's one of the reasons I fell in love with the Wu-Tang sound in the first place. But we can't sleep on 4th Disiple, his piano loops are just as dope. Let's all pay homage to Wu-Renegades right about now.

    "Shimmy Shimmy Ya" is a sample.

    "Knocks Me Off My Feet" by Stevie Wonder.
    He flipped it so that it's unrecognizable to an untrained ear.
