geez, i haven't listened to LS in full in years. i'll have to pull it out. when i made my earlier post, 10 years ago, i obviously hadn't read the thread. here are the booklet/covers, for those interested.
wow, i couldn't be gladder this faggit no longer posts here. one of the worst backpackers in wtc history.
anyway, listening to the track again (having not heard it for a while), doesn't the "skit" Hell's Wind Staff correspond with the liner notes (as in, it features MK, RZA and Dreddy providing "additional vocals") and then it follows that the next track is Killah Hills 10304 (not a skit, like this idiot said).
So to say the liner notes are wrong, is wrong, honestly. People are just relying on what was said in the manual, a book i've never and likely never will, read.
haha, right, well GZA seems to disagree:

“Hell’s Wind Staff / Killah Hills 10304”
This is another one of my favorites. It’s a very special song as far as the album’s concerned because it’s long as hell and has no hook. It’s up-tempo and is straight through. My cousin Life who did the hook on “Cold World” also did some singing on this too. This song has a lot of depth in terms of sound ’cause we used to layer weird shit over it.
For example, myself and Killah Priest were in the city one day with a portable ADAT recorder I just bought. We were just walking around, going to stores, buying water, juice, whatever, and just recording the random stuff, you know, just picking up sounds and shit. I think we recorded the Hells Angels riding by [us] too. RZA was in a restaurant talking to some guy, and we were banging forks on the tables, and we just recoded all those sounds too [laughs]. So we incorporated all that into the production.
As a song, it’s a street story, but not told in a regular street way. I’m talking about slanging on the block, but not just your average street dealer. These were more sophisticated cats. Some of it came from a documentary I saw on the infamous Pablo Escobar. He was sending judges intimate photos of their wives and things like that. I think this is [probably] my first real Mafioso track. It’s like a dense, short film.
The idea that the track Killah Hills 10304 is a skit, confuses me...
