RZA on the Making of “The Heart Gently Weeps”


“One of the best Ghost verses I’ve heard in 7 years” - RZA

RZA explains the concept and hustle behind the Beatles-sampling Wu-Tang song “The Heart Gently Weeps.” Initially, he wanted to save it for his own album.

Learning about what great artists usually go through to deliver quality music to their fans makes you gain appreciation for them, even if they have speech impediment.

“Rae heard the beat and he wanted to get on it…”

If he was so amped to rhyme over the beat, why is his verse so lethaaarrrgggiiiiccccc……?

Lol…I still like the song though

I’d go out on a limb and say that Masta Killa may have been a better fit than Raekwon for this joint. MK has definitely stepped his vernacular game up throughout the years. His flow seems better fit.

I can go on and on about my disappointment with Raekwon’s recent material…ZZZZZZZZZ
Where’s the “Faster Blade” shit dun!!

I just wanted to put my Wu-Tang Confessional out there, bear with me for half a minute. I was big Wu fan circa 1995ish, about two years before Forever dropped. I was all about the Clan; every release, cameo, or whatever, I was on it, mind you the internet wasn’t popping like it is now, so that was a challenge at the time, especially when a certain fans mother wasn’t trying to buy no parental advisory sticker cd’s. Anyways I was just wondering if all the new stuff about the 8 diagrams is gettting anybody excited like back then? I know after Forever dropped, everything seemed to die down, till most fans just moved on, me being one of them. But I still remember that feeling of ripping the plastic off a Wu release and feeling like it was totally worth asking a random old dude to buy the shit for me when I was in Sam Goody. Although the new songs don’t hit me exactly the way the old songs did, I’m actually excited about the release. Maybe I’ll put on my timbs and get a cherry chew stick, when I go buy this album, for old times sake.
Peace.
