As High As Wu-Tang Get-GZA's verse

[specialguy54]

One of GZA's finest verses, my favorite line is "You can't flow, must be the speech impediment you got lost off the snare of impeach the president>"

I got to thinking is that a playful diss of RZA? He's been criticized for his flow and has a speech impediment (anyone who doubts how bad it is check out the Delirium video with GZA and Bill Murray.) The line before this one in the song mentions him too ("8 diagrams sword swinging armored tang force, RZA throw on the disc but then change the bank source.")

Just wondering.

I dont think so. I think it's a general diss of wack rhymers.

[chiefjustice]

I also don't think so, they're cousins man! And 2 of the very first members of the wu.
I read the wu-tang manual and RZA talks about how much time they spend together when they was young and what they did and things like that.
I really can't imagine that GZA disses RZA in any track and especially not in one from their most successful album.

But just my opinion.

PEACE

Yeh, i definately don't think its a diss towards RZA but what does the line mean...and what does "8 diagrams sword swinging armored tang force, RZA throw on the disc but then change the bank source."" mean?..i dont get the "rza throw on the disc but then change the bank source" bit.

[zooruka]

peace be with you !

I also don't think so, they're cousins man!

A bank source is a term used on production equipment like on the ASR10 and MPC (rza's tools at the time). A bank is a collection of sounds thats stored on a disc (normally floppy).

And btw these threads talking about "subliminal disses" at fellow wu tang members need to stop, its getting ridiculous.

[Mega Matt]

if it is referring to the rza, it's probably about the irony of what other people said about his flow, and look at him now type shit or something

[Main Street]

^ i could agree with you

but i think he's talkin about some wack emcee that tried rhymin to RZA's beats and then Rza changed the bank source and couldnt flow after that but i truly dont know
