Gza Question

[Mantra]

On Duel Of the iron Mic, Gza says smoking exodus, does he mean dust??

[ironwizard]

Probably. That's what I've been thinking, but I'm not completely sure.

[energizer]

isnt it weed, cuz exodus was a bob marley album

bob marley = weed

i dunno

I've heard that you can use pages from the bible to role joints. This could be possible since (depending on your version) the paper is pretty thin. However, since it is GZA there has to be meaning behind it. He also says, "Check the print, it's where veterans spark the letterings" this could be a play on words, since the veterans spark the letterings and GZA sparks a joint up. Also he says, "The liquid soluble that made up the chemistry A gaseous element, that burned down your ministry". This is obviously a comparisson. So when the word is burned the church is burned and visa versa.

I don't think anyone is going to smoke a joint with bible pages
especially GZA

"burning down your ministry" would be more like an attack on what you believe in or where you feel safe

plus the letterings line is plain dope imagery

[Tetsuo]

Shabazz:
"smoke herbs in bible paper, keep the cap on ya cognac
I sip a fifth of juice and genesis, smoke a spliff of exodus
then sniff a kilo of leviticus"

[PuNcH_iN_PuNcH_OuT]

haha its all the rage then

[rubyspirit]

Herbal vapors, and biblical papers
Smokin exodus, every square yard is plush


He's getting high off of reading the Word.

[GOKU_SSJ_3]

i believe that he is either trying to show the fact that the church is no longer respected these days or that reverends - priests - monks sometimes "inhale the herbal vapors"

and BTW i rolled a blunt out of bible pages. and yes it depends on the printage because if the paper is thick you choke, but if the paper is thin it is smooth.

[Punch]

its a play on words
Exodus
Exo-Dust
smokin dust
