I've decided to start this series with the man I consider to be the greatest music producer of all time; Wu-Tang Clan Abbot, The RZA. The Abbot has had his hands in countless classics and was a key figure in shaping the hip hop landscape in to what it is today. His sparse backdrops mixed with his knocking drums and kung fu samples literally revolutionized the game. Here I present you with a collection of classic songs, re-imagined by the GOAT producer. Some are more obvious choices (His Wu-Tang brethren being among the most obvious), but then you have artist like Bjork, Fried and Charles Mingus. All head scratching choices to be sure, but when RZA blesses them with his golden touch then it all makes sense. I hope you guys enjoy this collection as much as I do.

UPDATE 11/17/2012 - Found a much better version of "Ol Dirty Bastard - Give It To Ya Raw (SD50 Remix)". It has replaced the old, horrible sounding one.
