Reuters - Wu-Tang Clan mastermind RZA returns
for a third time to his Bobby Digital alter-ego, his new rhymes
ranging from pseudo-standard gangsta cliches to a dizzying
mash-up of pop-culture references (Jabba the Hutt, mogwai and
Hunt's Ketchup all get name-checked in a matter of 10 seconds)
to bizarre boasts ("When I was young/I slept with a battery
under my tongue/so when I spit/the impact with a sting of a
stun gun"). But it's the beats and production that really
define an RZA release, and they're as intoxicating as ever on
"Digi Snacks." Bass lines and obscure samples lunge in and out
of slithering, off-kilter rhythms, illustrating the virtuosity
of this one-of-a-kind rap artist.
