I don't disbelieve that he got screwed out of making the product to larger companies 'cause that's just how business works, but he should give more props to the cat that took the time to build that thing in his house before Rza put any money into the project, plus I can't believe that as smart as Rza is he would hire idiots to handle his business ventures and leak developing product designs to the competition during a trade show.
yeah, i thought the same thing. like, what happened to the swiss cat that ACTUALLY invented this thing? isn't he the guy that should be talking about how he got ripped off and how much he's done for hip hop?
and while i like rza, and don't really doubt the majority of his story, i fuckin' hate that 'white boy' line he threw out there twice. bullshit.

I sort off believe him, but there's definitely stuff that's hard to believe without some proof.
No latency is physically impossible... sure you can make chips that only have 0.004 or whatever delays, but there's always a delay. It's because of the physical nature of how those things work (process a signal and output a changed signal -> impossible to do both at the same time). Unless he really got (magical?) things straight out of NASA .. I don't see how he could possibly be speaking the truth there unless he simply meant to say that 'his' only has a latency of .000004 or somethin'.
If he (still) has 50 of those 'replicators' it would be wise to show them... On the other hand, the records do have those scratches in them which were made prior to 1996 right? Well... apart from doing it the not-live way, he could be speaking the truth about that.
2 million is a lot of money.

He didn't say so much, but Rza did say he got screwed by the people he worked with. Might as well been the Swiss guy for all we know.
Still, you got a point 2 million for actual development would be nothing. In fact, it's quite hard already to believe that 2 million was enough to make some prototypes with the help of NASA.

Lol, did he write about it in his book by the way?
As for the drugs, true that.

Yeah, he lays it all out it's one of my favorite books and I don't own it. I bounced out from school one day to smoke a blunt and afterwards went to the bookstore 'cause I'm always on the scope for new knowledge and I saw his book so I sat in the store for like 2 hours and read the whole thing. I love independent bookstores in Berkeley, they never trip on people hanging out and reading and are always super helpful. I drop cash on books like I do on records 'cause everything is digital now and people take it for granted, but if we lose control of the net our only source of knowledge will be books and the people who take the time to expand their mind so I have a stockpile on all subjects including medical, historical, cultural, mechanical etc. I mean kids these days hate school 'cause of the way it's structured but information is the only thing that will free you from injustices and can never be taken away.
