Editorial Review: Product Description: No Description Available No Track Information Available Media Type: CD Artist: GENIUS/GZA Title: LIQUID SWORDS Street Release Date: 11/07/1995 Genre: RAP/HIP HOP Amazon.com: Some Wu members, like Cappadonna, are overly concerned with the way they dress, while others are a plain ol' inebriated mess (read: Ol' Dirty Bastard). For the GZA, it's all about the lyrics. With his nasal delivery and rapid-fire flow, he is the most experienced and oldest member of the Wu Tang Clan (he released a pre-Wu LP on Cold Chillin' Records entitled Words from the Genius in 1991). GZA's forte is battle rhymes (on his self-titled cut he declares that wack MCs' "lyrics are weak, like clock radio speakers"). On "Labels" he eloquently pens a complete song using only rap record label names. Loaded wordplay aside, beat-wise Liquid Swords is fully and exceptionally RZA-produced (peep the electric guitars and spacey synths on "Investigative Reports"). Liquid Swords is a perfect purchase for rap fiends who crave ill experimental beats and even iller punchlines. --Dalton Higgins Average Rating:
 Rating:  - YUP, CLASSIC GZA. CALL ME CRAZY FOR THE 3 STARS......but then again you can't. GZA in my opinion is the best member of the Wu-Tang Clan. He's one of the greatest lyricists ever, and this album shows it. His stories are extremely interesting and give you insight as to what happens on the daily basis in the streets of Shaolin. GZA is not my beef here. He drops his best material ever. My beef here is (drumroll)...................RZA's beats! His beats bored me to tears. I know some Wu-heads are gonna bash me for this, but I don't care. ...

Everything from the album art to the lyrics to the beats is raw. Still sounds much better than todays music. I still roll hard, down the streets with my 2000 watts of raw power, bumping this album. When I first heard this, I was 13 years old. Now at 29 this is still on top of all my Hop-Hop collection. Not one album has come close to satisfing my brain like this one can! Stay Real. Rating: - ......still the bestliquid swords is definitely in my top 5 favorite hip-hop albums of all time.... i'm still listening it today like it came out yesterday. i think gza is the most lyrical member of the clan, and this album outshone the sun in so many ways. apart from gza's lyrical genius, rza's production makes be believe that there's no way that he could've crafted such brilliant beats on his own, plus the usage of classic kung-fu movie samples (although my favorite usage of movie samples is in "severe punishment" ... Read More Rating: - STRAIGHT CLASSICTHIS WHOLE ALBUM IS STRAIGHT GRIMMEY FROM PRODUCTION,BEATS AND, LYRICS. BUT, LYRICALLY IT'S JUST SIMPLY PUT GENIUS. THE THOUGHTS PROCESS TO CREATE THIS ALBUM FROM TOP TO BOTTOM IS PURE DARK BEAUTIFUL HIP HOP POETRY. THERES EXCELLENT GUEST VERSES FROM FELLOW CLANS MEN WHO BROUGHT THERE A* GAME TO THIS PROJECT. STANDOUT GUEST VERSES ON THIS RECORD ARE GHOSTFACE KILLAH ON 4TH CHAMBER. METHOD MAN ON SHADOWBOXIN' RAEKWON AND GHOSTFACE ON INVESTIGATIVE REPORTS. THE PRODUCTION FROM THE RZA AND BEATS ARE INCREDIBLE. ... Read More Rating: - Sharp as a Liquid Sword...GZA is truly the Genius of the Clan, my all time favorite from the group. The GZA is the most sophisticaed and complex clan member of the group, he is the top 3 lyricst of the group (GZA, Inspectah Deck, Masta Killa). Liquid Swords is a "Classic" album that creates an atmosphere which not a lot of albums can do. This is one of RZA's best productions on a whole album, right next to "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx..." this album is one that will give you shivers while you are listening, its almost like a motion picture ...
