anybody remember when they first picked up Killarmy-Silent Weapons For Quiet Wars
I remember I pick it up when it first came out here in Australia in 1997...I was 12 at the time that was the year I officially became a Wu fan and I bought it with my birthday money at HMV I remember they had heaps of copies of it....first track I couldn't get over was Wake Up....illest track I heard at the time RZA produced it...ahh good times
Did you buy the CD or cassette? Cus when that shyt came out cassettes was in full effect! I had the tape of course.. Cus I couldnt afford the CD at the time.. And the tape had the "Killarmy Grenade" logo on it which was official...
peace to Australia
nah man I picked up the CD....I remember the art work when you take the cd out was so fucking dope....you know how it shows mug shots inside the cd cover and Islord one is like from his driver licence lols
thanks mateQuote:

i was in a homeless hostel too and had this shitty mini hi-fi system, so i couldn't rinse it out as loud as i wanted, so i had that shit on a walkman like it was the second coming of christ, you get what i'm saying fam, thats how sick that album was
it was definetly one of the best albums of 97, its a certified hip hop classic in my book, thats the way i see it, didn't have to skip a tune, the production was 4th disciple at his grimy best, just pure sictrumentals, sick production, plus killarmy as a unit, represented wit it lyrically, there bars were high grade top notch, hip hop quotables for years, you see what i'm saying, sick album, classic
and they were trying to reach my human being road brothers and sisters wit there lyrics too, steer my people in a positive direction, for real, i big em up for that, everytime, you know this
I remember my mum going nuts at me because I was playing Wake Up vol up high bumping the fuck out of it..hahah
yo the first time i heard this album i didn't even know what the fuck i was listening to lol
i was already deep into wu-tang and the affiliates but never heard any killarmy, but knew it was considered a classic
the beats were just so unorthodox at first, accompanied with me not knowing who was rapping - couple more listens and i was hooked though
one of my top 5 albums of all time
The first time I picked up this album It was in France in 1997. I was student and an huge wu-tang fan. Maybe one the greatest wu fan in France I purchased everything related to the wu, cds, clothes, magazines...
I really liked this album cuz it was raw, dark and powerful, the very reasons I was a wu fan. 4th disciple was very impressive on wu-tang forever and the second gravediggaz, in this era I thought he could be a second Rza. I got high expectations for this album and when I purchased it I became an happy wu fan these dude were angry (maybe jealous of . wu fam albums released during the 97-98 were ill cuz wu elements and wu fam mcs really ain't nothing ta fuck with.

crazy, i see where your coming from blood, i remember those times, i was still in a hostel but enrolled into a college, then the bombs started kicking off, at first i think he bombed bricky and the media at first said it was a gangsta thing, which i knew was bullshit, then he bombed brick lane, then i knew for sure its some random racist punk loner type of mudda focker, you see what i'm saying, but then he fucked up, he bombed them homosexuals in soho, then i knew feds would be on it like, you get me and shift him and low and behold, i swear down fam, they arrested him the next day, fuck the police, if that punk had kept on bombing endz wit big minorities in it, he probably would be still walking the streets today, i swear down like, you get me, no long ting, no jokes, for real, fuck the police
