The Wu-Tang Clan's chief producer, the RZA (aka the Abbott, Prince Rakeem, the Rzarector, Bobby Steels, and Bobby Digital) was born Robert Diggs. He first surfaced during the early '90s as a member of the rap unit All in Together Now, a group that also featured fellow Wu-Tang members the Genius (aka GZA) and Ol' Dirty Bastard. Following All in Together Now's dissolution, he signed to Tommy Boy under the name Prince Rakeem, issuing the 1991 EP Ooh We Love You Rakeem before joining the Wu-Tang; the group's 1993 debut, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), was one of the most influential hip-hop records of the era, with RZA's lean, menacing production work much imitated throughout the rap community in the years to follow. In addition to remaining a member of the loose-knit Wu-Tang family and producing many of the group members' solo efforts, RZA also joined the Gravediggaz, helming their 1995 debut 6 Feet Deep; his first full-length solo LP, RZA as Bobby Digital in Stereo, followed in 1998. In 1999, RZA Hits, a compilation of some of the Wu-Tang family's best-known tracks, from both group and solo projects, was released under RZA's name. Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai, his soundtrack for the Jim Jarmusch film - in which he made a cameo, beginning a series of small acting roles - was released in 2000. One year later, he released his second Bobby Digital record, Digital Bullet. A mix album, The World According to RZA, followed in 2003, as did his third official solo album, The Birth of a Prince. He continued to field soundtrack work, including Quentin Tarantino's two-volume Kill Bill films and the Japanese animation series Afro Samurai, as documented on 2007's Afro Samurai and 2009's Afro Samurai: The Resurrection.

My favorite, from another song, is “ I regenerate, while my enemies disintegrate, wear a Teflon vest so bullets can’t penetrate, Then rehydrate, drinking Welch’s grape, mixed with the Hydro sodium glutamate,” Rza rhymes 10 syllables words.
One of the many reasons why some people would say that the 90's era of production of the Rza is the BEST 🙌! His mind was WARPED! This song is memorable!! He's definitely a martial arts fiend!
Definitely one of the best Wu Tang videos ever. Big props to RZA👍🔥💯
I remember this randomly playing one time on RapCity. I remember scrambling to record it with my VCR and only got to record like half the video but I played it over and over again as I never saw the video come on again.

@@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.
