Method Man says that GZA and RZA wrote must of the rhymes. Well I wish ODB was still alive to hear what he had to say about this. And if it is true it only makes the hip hop story even better. You have to think that these guys came from nothing. The great attitude Wu-Tang had to have for RZA and GZA to even do that. I mean for Wu Tang it was You For Me and Me For You. These guys were really a team and a tight knit. Who cares if RZA and GZA wrote most of the rhymes. The thing is the released ODB’s album and they did it together. A lot of crews can not do this. It takes another type of thinking to be able to help one of your brothers and then let them get the credit when it is all said and done. (Rest of the Article Below).

Method Man recently broke down his top 25 most essential songs for Complex.com, speaking on how he met up with Notorious B.I.G. and how he initially didn’t want to release “All I Need” as a single. But one of the most dynamic revelations was that Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version was penned mostly by RZA and GZA.

Speaking specifically on his feature “Raw Hide,” Meth explained why RZA and GZA had to take on rhyme duties for the 1995 LP. “The majority of the verses on that album are old RZA rhymes and GZA rhymes,” he said. “’Approach the school, 9:30, you’re late,’ that’s RZA’s shit. I heard that shit when I was 14 years old. That whole, ‘Easy on my balls, they’re fragile as eggs,’ niggas said that in a rap battle in fucking 1989.

“Dirty took all their shit and made it his own and GZA ain’t say shit,” he continued. “Most of [Dirty’s verses] was GZA’s shit. I remember GZA and ODB got in an argument one night and GZA was like, ‘Nigga most of that shit you say on your fucking album is mines anyway!”

He did state that ODB wrote some of the songs, including “Brooklyn Zoo,” and stated that he himself wrote the first verse on Ghostface Killah’s “Cherchez La Ghost.”
