    No RZA so far? Impossible for me to pick out a definitive top 10, but here's some that really stuck with me over the years

    Shadowboxing
    Ice Cream
    Verbal Intercourse

    GZA's "4th Chamber" (with the dark, spaghetti western soundtrack like organ), Gravediggaz' "Elimination Process" (with the creepy "laaaa....." vocal loop and the harpsichord) and the way he flipped the Underdog intro are among my favorite RZA beats.

    Not in order, just some that I like:

    The entire INI album.

    ED OG " I got to have it"

    Group Home " Supa star"

    T.R.O.Y.

    Shook Ones

    Stezo " It's my turn" ( Credit to Dooley O for finding the skull snaps break)

    EPMD: " So What Cha Sayin"

    First two Show and AG albums.

    Early K-Def

    Muggs on the first Cypress album was sick. The Funkdooibiest stuff too. Still dig Soul Assassins back in the day.

    Gangstarr - Just to Get a Rep

    Too many to list. Lately I've been digging Damu The Fudgemunk. 1993 perfected.

    Not the most diverse list, chronologically or geographically, but what can I say; all of these take me back to big neighborhood freestyle sessions in high school, getting loose on a summer friday, with everyone I knew packed in the same room until the neighbors called.

    This list is horrible.
