He has also released solo albums under the alter-ego Bobby Digital. In addition to the Wu-Tang Clan and his solo releases, RZA was also a founding member of the rap group Gravediggaz where he used the name The Rzarector.
He has made cameos in several movies including Coffee and Cigarettes, American Gangster, Gospel Hill, Life Is Hot in Cracktown, Ghost Dog, Funny People, Repo Men. About.com named him 3rd on their list of best hip hop producers of all time
Born in Brownsville, Brooklyn, New York, RZA spent time in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as a child, where his father had a convenience store in the Hill District.[1] A young RZA also spent many years living in North Carolina with his uncle. RZA began his hip hop career in the late 1980s and early 1990s as a member of the trio Force of the Imperial Master (which subsequently became known as the All in Together Now Crew after they had a successful underground single of that name). The group consisted of future Wu-Tang members and his cousins GZA (then known as the Genius) and Ol' Dirty Bastard (then known as Ason Unique, the Specialist, and the Professor).
Once this local band dissolved, both he and the GZA attempted to kick start solo careers. With the help of GZA's friend (then owner of Jamaica Records) they both secured single deals with album options at successful labels, GZA going to Cold Chillin and RZA to Tommy Boy. GZA ultimately released the Words from the Genius album, but RZA's stint at Tommy Boy ended with only the 1991 EP Ooh I Love You Rakeem to show for it when he went to jail soon after its release. GZA's album flopped, and the two cousins became determined to conquer the hip hop industry on their own terms. Throughout most of his youth he enjoyed watching various kung-fu movies and purchasing countless albums which he would later sample in most of his music
Drink Smoke Fcuk
RZA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Up, let the Alize fill them up
Thug passion, love passion, niggas, who be actin'?
Grey Goose, cranberry juice
Absolut for those who candt afford the Goose
Malibu, coconut rum, Amaretto sour, coke and rum
We gettin' drunk, Hennessey, V.S.o.p
Age in the barrel, thirty-three years
Y'all niggas sniff lines in the stairs
German beers, Heineken, Beck's, Bud for you rednecks
Milwaukee's best, for those who only got two dollars
And a bag of cess
All we wanna do is drink, smoke and fuck
All we wanna do is drink, smoke and fuck
All we wanna do is drink, smoke and fuck
All we wanna do is drink, smoke and fuck
Chronic, bubonic, chocolate Thai stick, you want it
Jamaican green, silver haze
The Northern Lights get ya ass in a daze
Purple hydro, Indonesian skunks, you can tell by the funk
All we need is Fonzo' leaf or a blunt
Easy wad of bamboo, I prefer the Dutch
Split the back open, then the weed get crushed
Big lighter gettin' sparked, we proceed to puff
All we wanna do is drink, smoke and fuck
All we wanna do is drink, smoke and fuck
Here's to good friends, tonight is kinda special
The beer we brought, must be somethin' wrong somehow
Mothafuck the low and brow
Or the Rolling Rock, nigga, 'cause I'm sippin' Cristal
Don P., Folski, Pierre Juliet, ice cold P
Peter Pipers, nigga, take a sip
Sit back, mothafucka or I'll bust open ya lip
All I wanna do is drink, smoke and fuck
All we wanna do is drink, smoke and fuck
All we wanna do is drink, smoke and fuck
All we wanna do is drink, smoke and fuck
There's Tanya, there's Sandra
Oh, shit, there goes my cousin's baby's mamma
Big ass Nicole with no soul
Who would fuck a mothafucka for a jellyroll
I see Tasha, Pam and Sasha
Her cousin, Tawanna, she's hairy like Chewbacca
Always trynna smoke on that chewbacca
Suck a dick dry for two shots of that Vodka
There's Shasha, BeBe and CeCe
Dede and Deiji, TiTi and FiFi
Fayfay and BayBay, KatKat and FayBay
Kaykay and Friday, they live for the payday
To drink, smoke and fuck
All we wanna do is drink, smoke and fuck
All we wanna do is drink, smoke and fuck
All we wanna do is drink, smoke and fuck
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck
In RZA's song Drink Smoke Fcuk, the lyrics describe a desire for indulgence in partying and substance use. The chorus emphasizes this with the repeated lyrics "All we wanna do is drink, smoke and fuck." The song lists a variety of alcoholic drinks and drugs, including Alize, Grey Goose, Hennessey, chronic, bubonic, and Jamaican green. The lyrics also mention various women who are present at the party, with some derogatory comments made towards them. The overall tone of the song is celebratory in nature, emphasizing hedonism and excess.
However, the song can also be seen as a social commentary on the culture of excess that is prevalent in many urban communities. The repetition of the chorus can be interpreted as a critique of the narrow focus on pleasure-seeking and disregard for significant values such as personal responsibility and community building. The lyrics may also be interpreted as a reflection of the marginalized status of many people living in these communities, where drugs, alcohol, and sexual activity may be used as a coping mechanism to deal with difficult circumstances.
Overall, RZA's Drink Smoke Fcuk is a provocative, expletive-laden track that speaks to the complex dynamics of urban culture.
