The World According to RZA is a compilation album featuring the production of Wu-Tang Clan member RZA that features his tracks for emcees from a variety of European countries. The album was never released in the United States.
In an interview with Skruff.com, RZA spoke about the making of this album.
It’s been told by many great prophets throughout history and many great civil-rights teachers, people like Gandhi. Even if you look at people like Stalin or Hitler, who were terrible in history, their idea was to unify the people as one. Unity is the key. The euro is an example of people trying to unify, but they’re only trying to unify through the dollar and not through the heart, and that’s another problem. We’re knocking down all barriers, and there’s no separation in hip hop. We’re not going to say there’s West Coast or East Coast hip hop, American hip hop or European hip hop—it’s got to be the movement of our generation, one hip hop. I like to say this quote: "Hip hop: the sound and soul of our generation." That’s my favorite quote.
The New Version contains the German song "Hotel" by Kool Savas feat. Eko Fresh & Valezka instead of "Warning" by Nap and "I've Never Seen..." is replaced with the German version of it titled "Ich Kenne Nichts (Das So Schön Ist Wie Du)". RZA's verse is not included on this track. The original version of the album is out of print and very hard to find.
