RZA - Tragedy

[@vicvega24]

Tragedy and 1-800 Suicide (Poisonous Remix) verses from RZA were underrated.

[@PontFlair]

I'll even say his 1st verse on "O'Day" was crazy and underrated. That's if it's even been heard.

[@ash6415]

The number of dope beats this man created is crazy.

[@IAMKO517]

Tru Master

[@jonrobbin170]

TRU Master, 4th disciple, and Mathematics made a lot of the beats he got credit for especially later on

[@codymiller7547]

"Stay in your playpen boy and battle for your formula and cry as you pacify this lullaby from the Black Butterfly" Genius is not adequate/sufficient to describe this mastery of words.

[@randomphantom8242]

90's NY'ers were just out of this world and ahead of the times. His 1st 10 words were a lesson in itself. Never will we ever see or hear anything near HipHop again.

[@konne16]

I was 11 and a family friend gave me Wu tang forever, just as it came out...I became highly addicted, Still are, unreal this shit, His hypnotic rhymes...... Greeting from Germany

[@FelFree]

Never see it again ? If that's the case then that is the real Tragedy

@Voltanary plz, the rza isn't a Mason who needs subliminal messages when ppl willingly accept bullshit

[@RAA10382]

@Voltanary Dude RZA isn’t a FreeMason. He’s a member of the 5 Percent Nation a.k.a. The Nation Of Gods & Earths. The Gods BEEN woke before woke was even a thing. The whole meaning behind their name of “5 Percenter” is based on the teaching that most of the world (85%) is ignorant, worshipping a “god” that we cant even see, believing a false history taught at schools, among other things. The 10% are the government, the churches, and secret societies like the Free Masons and Skull & Bones, who keep us ignorant and dependent on them. They make themselves rich out of the ignorance of the 85%. And finally the 5% are the enlightened righteous ones who don’t believe in the teachings of the 10%. The duty Of the 5% is to teach and civilize the 85%. They don’t believe in a mystery spook god in the sky and teach that man is his own God.
