it's the sample that ruins it, the pitch sounds like nails on chalkboard to me g
no f***ing way man to each his own though. That s*** is what modern RZA should sound like imo
Nutmeg
everytime i hear Nutmeg I can't help but think it's DOOM, i know Ghost is on record saying DOOM acknowledged Ghost influenced the way he spit but even the beat sounds like DOOM

Yeah the lack of drums really blurred lines it
Love seeing this thread as I am on a Wu-Tang binge lately.
These are my favorite beats of his:
The way the bass drives the instrumental in this song
This is such a simple beat. Two notes (for most of the beat), a drum break, not even really a significant bass line to speak of. The vibe/world it creates is HUGE. RZA was a master of making all-encompassing atmospheres out of simple elements and this beat really showcases that. While we're on this album though I have to mention...
!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGlJeDmq50QThe ones who know, know. Cinematic game-changing s***, no Alchemist (My current fave producer) without the groundwork laid on this whole album. Blue Raspberry's inclusion on this song was a brilliant, brilliant maneuver, but I digress.
!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7tlHfGI7aQThis one never gets love. This is one of those perfect outros. S*** sounds like a baby photo. The double down on the beat when Raekwon comes in >>>
!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPxXe8LCvI8RZA made this beat when he was depressed. When I'm depressed I have a hard enough time brushing my teeth. This dude was scary 93-95, other producers are indebted to this man for loosening his chokehold on the game.
The best one though, bar none, is...
!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVWWO_76m6QS/O to the person on KTT1 that sent me down a Wu-Tang rabbit hole a few years back by posting this song. This s*** is transcendental. Not much is going on in this song instrumentally, but you feel it in every ounce of your core when you take it all in. This is like one of those beats that you wonder how the f*** RZA thought to put these things together. S*** man I may have to try PCP, this song is raw genius.
Sorry if this was too long but '93-'95 RZA is tied with Alc for my favorite producer and I could talk this s*** all day if you let me
North Star is unreal. proto cloud rap type s***

S*** man I never made that connection till now, RZA stayed ahead of his time
also gonna say Investigative Reports deserves to be mentioned here. very underrated
Do you actually like this album? I think RZA isn't the type of rapper who can carry a project but for one verse here and there he's amazing (just like Deck).
Up there with best wu albums. Daily routine is top 3 rza song
this probably my favorite song tbh.
S*** this too
not his best but my personal favorite. also one of his best verses
Hell yeah, love this song!!
