Ranked No. 4 in Golden Age Hip-Hop
RZA's production is deliberately murky and cheap-sounding, which makes Raekwon and Inspectah Deck's verses land like documentary. Nine members and not one wasted line.

C.R.E.A.M.
1993 · Loud
Picked by The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred
A four-bar piano loop, two verses, and a hook that became a proverb. RZA proved that the cheapest possible production could carry the heaviest possible writing.
