GZA - Liquid Swords

[Frank Drebin]

Best album ever. This is Hip Hop at its finest. Lyrically the Gza is at his best and he is the greatest wordsmith in Hip Hop. The production is untouchable. 10/10 if i could rate it higher I would

[MaXiMus Da MaNtis]

tied for best wit 36 chambers and ironman

[ITZtheGHOST!]

This is the CD that got me into Wu Tang. I got it from a friend and once I started listening to it, I was hooked. Killah Hillz 10304 is my favorite. I think GZA's got the sickest voice out of all of the Wu Tang though. Plus, I love the way he says Clan in Da Front.

[Saviorself]

First Wu-Solo I purchased. Dope from start to finish. Best first three opening songs on any album. Not too many guest appearances, but still a wu-banga. Shadowboxing includes method man's best delivered lyrics. Better than Cuban Linx. On top of all of that , we get Killah Priest debut.

"Amplified samples through vacumn tubes compressions
cause RZA, to charge niggaz twenty G's a session."

[pablobaluba]

I think SWORDSMAN is much underrated, this song is amazing! pure wu-tang style beat, and gza spitts knowledge in the entire song, the second verse is iillll !

We were on the same ship
When the slaves were checked
I had to pull your card
You was on the top deck
So I plotted my escape
I saw the thin line between love and hate....................................
And fast from the hog on the plate
I suffered brutal pains
From whips and chains
Punishments that were set
To wash the brain

yeah...co sign...i'm dissapointed by the notes users gave to this track
it's definately 10/10

[Ironman Starks]

"when a nigga steps out his place
and gets slapped in his motherfuckin face
just cause the nigga tried to base
with the G O D the G O D"

shit is fire

[Kool P Shook]

"Liquid Swords":EVERY REAL RAP FAN MUST KNOW THIS ALBUM.
We return to 1995,a golden year for the Wu cuz come out "Return To The 36 Chambers" of ODB (r.i.p.),a crazy album!,and "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx..." of Raekwon The Chef,first example of mafia-rap.But...the most interesting MC of the group,GZA/Genius,shits a great album where shaolin culture comes back. This is "Liquid Swords",for someone THE Wu-Tang Album.Yes,because there is entire Wu-Tang on this royal cd,from ODB to Masta Killa.Beats are produced,naturally,by The RZA that shows his dark side creating dark and doped instrumentals like "4th Chamber".This is typical Wu-Tang Style,the same style of "Enter The Wu-Tang 36 Chambers".Another classic.Wu-Tang saga continues...
10/10

[braindamage702]

i dont have to say shit about this piece
10/10
still listen to it til this day

[DJ Daywhea]

Investigative reports is my favorite song on the album, GZA's verse is fire

Callin all cars, callin all cars! ghetto
Psychos, armed and dangerous, leavin mad scars on those
Who are found bound, gagged and shot when they blast the spot
Victims took off like astronauts
Get with this, even your best can’t
Come on down, you’re the next contestant!
Get your pockets dug from all your chemical bank-ins
Caught him at the red light - on putnam avenue and franklin
They used to heat up the cipher with a shot that was hyper
Than your average jfk sniper
He just came home to spark it
Rolling like kaufman, and lay that ass out like carpet
Stop the stuttering boy, save the planes for the five-oh
Then praise the God - chk-a-chk pow!
They be lick shots and premeditate to grab...
...and then they jet back to the lab
And then remain in shaolin
An endangered island
Shorties lose blood by the gallon

[IRAN]

Its my favourite Wu album, almost perfect if it wasn't for B.I.B.L.E - I just dont feel this track, its the only one I skip.

[deadlymelody]

I would write a thorough review of this album, but i'd run out of adjectives for great.

This should be in everyone's top 5. I think some people just don't understand GZA's true greatness. Too complex for some.

[GENERAL WISE]

The album is the only flawless lp off Wu-tang imo
FLAWLESS means i have absolutely nothing to complain about it
one reason its not the best Wu Lp is because it lacks crazy tracks like CREAM though Iron mic comes close
