Wu-Tang's RZA Breaks Down His Career From Music to Movies | Vanity Fair

[@ejsavage598]

This man is a master,100% genius, legend, everything he touches turns gold, and I think RZA should be recgonized more. I grew up listening to the wu, all the beats he did was beautiful and sound like no other, and he know how to bring different people together to create a masterpiece.

[@joemar1881]

Absolutely a genius. I grew up as a musician and a suburban white boy that couldn’t even begin to understand what this dude’s been through coming up in the neighborhood. 9 out of 10 days I blast music in my car, it’s rock/metal. Day 10 is the Wu lol. They transcend the genre because of RZA.

[@aniqshardin]

you're right. he produce music, rap, screenwriter, directed a movie and music videos, and he took care the business aspect of the group too.

[@justmeprematee]

Never heard of him😮

[@gilbertnicholas1582]

They should have HIS music in the background

[@doublezee1]

This elevator music is very annoying!

[@maxvanopdorp9108]

Copyrights man

[@dennis-gu8ei]

RZA and the rest of the crew walked a long road and became fuckin legends. Thank the universe for the Wu Tang Clan!

[@franciss.fernandez7581]

Wu truly changed the world of hip hop. And RZA was the genius pulling the strings.

[@ZOB4]

Living Legend. Return to the 36 Chambers is one of the best albums ever.

His verse on Duck Seazon is insane. Has to be one of the best rap verses by anyone

[@RayzorBlade]

He blacked out on that joint

[@fredmelendez57]

He killed that The whole clan kills that song

[@Shineshineshinelike409]

Absolutely agree.

[@lifestraight]

His verse on Hellz Wind Staff was better

[@dontstop2517]

i need the full version of this. What an amazing individual,

[@GLAS63]

Wow, I'm surprised the RZA didn't showcase "Afro Samurai" as one of his production credits, I thought he did a phenomenal job on that project..

[@rondajones7526]

Thank you for doing a video on RZA! The Kill Bill soundtrack is still one of the best so soundtracks ever, this man is so talented. And I grew up with his music so this made me really excited. I have a lot of respect for him.

[@R4JV1R]

It inspired logic to rap

[@FrankWeaver]

Love the video but that background music during the interview ...

[@isabelcastro3009]

RZA is so iconic, love him

[@nickinderrieden7630]

The overly loud background music is annoying, but not nearly as bad as the couple of dead pixels on camera two. Tried reloading video thinking it was me. It's not. Wu-Tang Forever, love you Bobby Steels

[@slijio2949]

how could hip-hop be dead if wu-tang is forever ! 👐

When i saw kill bill music was produced by a hip hop artist, I couldn’t believe it.

[@damarelo27]

Kill Bill opening night. Packed theater. Opening credits roll. Last credit to roll says scored by Rza. The whole theater erupts in applause! Unforgettable moment.

[@dopesick7710]

I know. What a racist country we live in🙄

[@thewildking999]

Unbannable what are you talking about man

[@MasterKillah]

I'm disappointed when a Kung Fu flick doesn't have at least one Rza track.

[@rgw1380rw]

That "Inmates To The Fire" beat is still sick till this day☝️😷!

[@kincamell2]

Much Appreciation.

[@solomoncooper6491]

RZA the legend 👐 forever!!!

[@Jzarecta]

Wish RZA could also push other black directors and such as he grow, just like he pushed his brothers back in Shaolin. Having a movie director school in SI or doing something for SI could be great. For the talent of the black talent of the town, just like they did opening the Wu Wear Store in SI back in 94.

It’s a real shame that this wasn’t as thorough as it should’ve been. So much stuff missing, including but not limited to his Gravediggaz days, his solo projects in the 00’s and more…

[@Teckle_Biscuits]

Was this cut short by about an hour? This barely scratched the surface of Rza's career, quite disappointing as ever step in his career needs to be told. And the audio of this was awful

[@HelpMeFindTheseSongs]

I think the audio is bad because the interview might have been done online, maybe Zoom or Skype, because of COVID.

[@scottydippin1984]

Tommy boy did him dirty

[@BIG_L.O.E]

True but in order for the Rza to be born, Prince Rakeem had to die

RZA has aged WELL lol you see the other members and they look old af now lol RZA doesnt.

[@mastodonthorvatovic1652]

Great deal of respect goes for RZA but, for me, the problem here is the level of production of this clip and company behind. It's just unbeliveable - camera, camera angles, idiotic editing, sound...it's just beyond me that anything like this is possible, to place star like this in this kind of production enviroment.All of you in VF should go and to some other things with your life.
