Yeah, but that's already what, '96/'97? This was around the same time Rza was Executive Producing Killarmy. What's more, Rza's little brother is one of the main rappers in that crew... And 4th produced close to about a fifth of Wu-Forever.
... I may have to go to the sacred cow thread and say something that will respond in more death threats than my dismissal of J.D....
may 97 if memory serves, remembering copping the 4 disc vinyl for like 15 bucks...
i def took note of 4th disciple after that LP, specifically "a better tomorrow" was a sick tune, but i don't recall hearing any sped up soul samples on any of the 4th disciple produced stuff, wheras RZA was experimenting w/ voice samples in an odd way as far back as Bring the Pain...
i like 4th disciple, just not sure i buy the heresay argument that he was the one who introduced rza to sped up soul samples...
