On December 10, RZA and Flatbush Zombies linked up for a menacing track titled “Plug Addicts,” and when promoting it, the artists revealed that the song was actually just the first half of their “double feature” collaboration. One week later, Flatbush Zombies and the RZA have teamed up once again for an equally grimy cut titled “Quentin Tarantino.”
As its namesake would suggest, their latest collab uses Quentin Tarantino’s immaculate filmography as a muse, so the five-minute track is packed with references to many of his movies, from Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown to Django Unchained and Death Proof. Somehow it all comes together as a standalone song quite well, and when experienced along with its Reservoir Dogs-inspired visuals, “Quentin Tarantino” is even better.
Set some time aside to watch the cinematic music video for Flatbush Zombies and RZA’s “Quentin Tarantino,” and let us know if you’re feeling their recent back-to-back releases.
Quotable Lyrics
They killing us all but we edurel, reservoir dog
I’m Mr. Orange, so since we sparrin’ I put my all in
Your whip be stallin’, unchained, unhandled Django is dormant
They pat me down, n*****, you don’t know you better ask around
It’s been half an hour, blast the sound, where’s Jackie Brown ?
They happy now, in staccato cut the convo Desperado
