RZA sampling

I could watch an entire season of RZA just sampling every song in Enter the 36 Chambers

I love how RZA at one point asks the guitar player to play out of his scale / sample and he refuses. Does a great job showing the duality of the limitless musical potential sampling whatever song you want at any point, but you still can only manipulate the original so much

This scene should win an award. The metaphor execution was spot for sampling and the mindset when sampling.

Everyone praises this episode for showing how sampling works in RZA's mind. One of the underrated aspects of this episode, as displayed in the beginning of this clip, is the competitive atmosphere of producers/beatmakers in record stores.

The most creative visual aspect of sampling! Every producers has day dreamed it like this one way or another

sampling to its origins to what it has become today is such an incredible journey

Watching this as a producer I’ve never seen a better representation of what it feels like making beats and sampling…. Gave me goosebumps

The RZA's voice is so unique it is impossible to duplicate. One of the most iconic rappers of all time.

So dope they actually had a dude playing the electric sitar and didn’t just use a guitar. Great attention to detail that most wouldn’t notice. Infinitely cool

This is still the best episode IMO. The way they broke down a artist creative process and how stressful it can be plus the visuals made this episode beautiful

As a young beatmaker, I used to go find the weirdest stuff, and there was always a cool obscure record that slapped. It's quite an awesome experience.

The best parts is when The samples start talking back to him as if he Respected the music and the talents that played them. Truly Filmmaking at its finest

this was such a dope way to show how a producer interprets putting music together

The best interpretation of the creative process of sampling that I've ever seen.

I never watched this series but this scene has left me mesmerized. They broke down the sampling/beatmaking process so beautifully it's insane. Top notch quality stuff.

This scene is an incredible representation of what it's like in a producer's mind when creating sample based Hip Hop beats.

The point of this scene was to show how The Rza manipulates what the original presentation of music was. Also how he worked well given certain song structure limitations. This shows how he “sees & hears music in his head.” It was figurative & metaphorical - as he wasn’t literally isolating samples in full recordings. But he was “replaying” a lot of sh*t that we don’t realize were not the exactly original recordings in real life. That’s why his demo version the Wu recorded their vocals on sounds almost totally different from the final “Protect Ya Neck” classic we have now.

he sound like DMX.... "remember when i was afraid of the dark grrrrrrr you told me.... grrrrr arf arf ..... what a dog needs.... grrrrr.... what!!! whatt!!!! where my dawgsssss aaaaat!!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Literally my favorite scene in the whole show this shows rza’s process and also how much you can and can’t do with samples

This episode is the stand out one for me so far, hats off to Mario Van Peebles who directed this one. It’s so expertly shows how people like RZA hear songs, break them down and can mould them into something entirely different, but it did it a really entertaining and funny way, I was grinning like an idiot all the way through it as it was so good.
