The "reasons why RZA is the best producer ever" thread

[tekunique]

i don't know if rza did the scratches and mixing for these songs, so...

and yes, he did do the scratches back then.

most of the time the producer is the one who does the mixdowns as well unless youre like puffy who aint hands on with shit rather tells his team what he has in his head. and RZA def. can DJ but he never did the scratches on beats. for example, 4th Disciple did most of the scratchings back then like on tracks like Chessboxin'. im 99% sure he did the scratching on "Shadowboxin'. as well.

the artwork for Liquid Swords was done by Allah Math... [also the one responsible for coming up with the iconic Wu symbol and of course he became the official Clan DJ and a dope producer in his own right ]

my input for this thread will be the brilliance of "Shimmy Shimmy Ya." the album version of this joint doesnt have a 2nd verse [later added by Dirty for the 12" single] so what comes after the first hook ? the whole first verse again but in REVERSE !! fucking genius [pun intended lol]

i remember RZA talkin about this and was sayin Dirty was like "Yo how the fuck am I gonna perform that shit live ?" and RZA was like "Yoo just fucking do it !!" LOL...

peace.

Math drew the two-tone picture of the hunched over dude on the back of the booklet; the art with the chess motif is cowan's

is there any other rap/hiphop producer to have as many platinum or gold albums fully produced by 1 producer

[David Daniel Davis]

Perhaps Doctor Dre, Lil Jon, Mannie Fresh, Muggs, Swizz Beatz or Timbaland..
