RZA is my 5th greatest hip hop producer of all time. He was primarily responsible for the production of the Wu-Tang Clan collective. Such a unique production style, best described as being grimy, thundering beats. Its super tough to put together a list of his greatest beats because so many are at an elite level. But for me these ones stand out the most
#5 - "Wu Tang Clan' Ain't Nuthin to F Wit" from Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers album (1993)
#4 - GZA feat. Method Man "Shadowboxin" from Liquid Swords (1995)
#3 - Method Man "Bring the Pain" from Tical (1994)
This incorporates one of my favorite samples from "I'm Your Mechanical Man" by Jerry Butler
#2- Ghostface Killah feat Raekwon & Cappadonna "Camay" from Ironman (1996)
A killer vocal sample of Teddy Pendergrass makes this one pop
#1 - Raekwon "Criminology" from Only Built For Cuban Linx (1995)
