Good drop...
A nice list. I would put add a few more and take some of those out of the top 25, but I'm not 100% sure if the beasts were made by the RZA, Mathematics, Bronze Nazareth or other Wu-Tang producers.

Edit...

Here are #50-26 of the top 50 RZA Beats

I'm still partial to "Wu Tang Clan Ain't Nothing To Fuck Wit".

I mean who the fuck samples Underdog? :eek:

Genius...This will be a long one by the way. :yes:
 
good shit. id put CREAM at no. 1 tho, n' triumph, liquid swords, in top 10 but its all good RZA got bangers for dayz
 
I keep trying to tell dudes that the Rza put out more hip-hop bangers than any other hip-hop producer.
 
Yeah, Rainy Dayz should have been much higher. Damn Verbal Intercourse and Guillotine(B4CL) should have been top 10 too.
 
Marvel - ghostface
Domestic Violence - bobby digital
Are my favorites. Marvel is my favorite beat by any producer.
 
There Is No One Beat, He Simply In Another Level Then Any Other Producers, Not Premo, Not Dre, Not Kanye....it Not Even Close, Look At The Track Record, Look The Range.....take A Track Like Reunited; Hard As Tracks And Live Country Western Violins (wat The Fuck, Who In 1997 Was Using Country Western Violins In Hardcore Rap), Then Take A Winterz War....i Mean The Beat Is Like Almost Techno In A Way. The Zhsarp Sounds The Speed Up Tempo. Rza Is A Musician, He Just Doenst Just Bang On A Mpc........he Almost Like A Scientist When It Comes To This Shit............then Add The Fact That Lyrically He Sick..............there U Have It

Whose your weed man? I need some of that shit you smoking!!!! I don't think he ranks on a person's list outside of the North East.

1. Dr. Dre
2. Timbaland
3. Neptunes
4. Organized Noise
5. Erick Sermon
6. Easy Moe Bee
7. Dj Quik

Yo Moe Bee man drop that beat!!!!!!!!! Dude never even really worked outside of his group. Nobody ask RZA for a beat. He's never worked with Big, Jay, Nas, Pac, or Scarface!
 
Decent, not official though.

No Diesel :confused: That shit was/is crazy. Hollow bones needs to be way higher.

Why is that Deck joint on there? The more i look @ it, this list is kinda suspect...

He's easily top 3.

These 4 can probably be put in any order:

DJ Premier
RZA
Dr. Dre
Pete Rock

Big has Long Kiss Goodnight on Life after Death. Get your facts right. Personally, the RZA fuckin' w/ all them cats. Erick Sermon??? Quik??? They're decent but I wouldn't put them in the same league with him.
 
Rza also did some tight Soundtrack work....Fatal and Samaurai Showdown could have easily made that list.
 
I slept on RZA for a long time too. Besides the Wu Tang stuff.. his joints for other people dont have that ring to them that other High end Beatmakers have..(multilayering of Timbaland, That westcoast sound of Dre, That damn near heavymetal hiphop of Swizz) I didnt know alot of the shit he did was actually him.. Im just finding out that big pun song was done by Rza. I had no idea about Long kiss goodnight.. i had no idea about one of my favorite beats "The Anthem" from Sway and Techs album was made by Rza until i heard "Airwaves" off Rzas "Bobby Digital in Stereo" which uses the same beat.

Rzas a genious. Not just with beats eighther.. that ni99as like a hood rainman without the tick.
 
You dudes are scratching!!! Samurai soundtrack???? GTFOH!!! He is not top 3..and I don't think Pete Rock is high on the list either! I'd go with Jermaine Dupri before Pete Rock.
 
nothing from any of the killah army albums? nothing from his albums. the song with the beat slow down or speed up.
 
I'm not too sure about that list but, my favorite Wu-Tang song of all time is "Can't It Be All So Simple." That video for da song is cool too. :yes:
 
RZA is the greatest period. I'm a Primo dude but RZA's catalog is monstrous. It's too diverse for anyone to be ahead of him.

Verbal Intercourse is the best, hands down.

Wow. All I can say is you can't be serious.
 
ITS YOURS!!!! RZA classic break beat and simple boom bap!!! shit rzarecta coming through your sector!!!
 
Did RZA make the "Windpipe" beat on the Belly soundtrack? It had that ill banjo sample.
 
You dudes are scratching!!! Samurai soundtrack???? GTFOH!!! He is not top 3..and I don't think Pete Rock is high on the list either! I'd go with Jermaine Dupri before Pete Rock.
