RZA a donné au site AllHipHop son Top 5 de ses MC préférés, il cite Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, Jadakiss, 3 membres du Wu-Tang (GZA, Raekwon et Ghostface) et Nas.
"The early Nas, the first three albums of Nas yo, nahmean. I don’t think too many solo MCs will ever surpass the creativity, ideas and individualization that he put inside his lyrics and songs. Two of the best rhymes I thought written was when he wrote the song "One Love" to his man in jail. You look at Eminem’s "Stan", that’s "One Love." That was the inspiration of a man sitting here writing a letter to his man in jail.
Then you take a look at him writing his song [about the gun] "I Gave You Power"; describing the tech feeling this way, the rusty gun…taking the individualization of a gun describing. The only other MC doing that was the GZA where he took on the labels and made one meaning a whole 'nother meaning."
