Editorial Review: Product Description: The enhanced portion includes music videos and pictures of the performers. No Track Information Available Media Type: CD Artist: GZA/GENIUS Title: BENEATH THE SURFACE Street Release Date: 06/29/1999 Genre: RAP/HIP HOP Amazon.com: While the Genius continues to slice through resistant mentals with his liquid sword rhyme schemes, his sophomore album is the first clear sign that Wu-Tang's pre-eminence may be waning. Without Bobby Digital working the track wizardry, Beneath the Surface is an odd amalgamation of RZA-wannabe tracks (courtesy of the Arabian Prince and Mathematics) that are starting to sound more and more like Swizz Beats every day. Gza's rhyme assaults still pack a wallop, but his album shows wear at the seams, bulging with impossibly high ambitions and uneven execution. Songs like "Breaker, Breaker," "Publicity," and "Hip Hop Fury" still burn hotter than Sahara summers, but it's not enough to help the entire LP catch fire. --Oliver Wang Average Rating:
 Rating:  - STRAIGHT UP HEATFIRST OFF I WOULD LIKE TO START BY ADDRESSING THE FEW BAD REVIEWS I READ FOR THIS ALBUM, SOMEONE SAID THAT THE ONLY GOOD SONG WAS BREAKER BREAKER, WHAT KIND OF ISH IS THAT, BREAKER BREAKER WAS THE SINGLE REALEASED WITH A VIDEO, MEANING IT WAS THE MOST MAINSTREAM HIT ON THE ALBUM, AND WHILE IT WAS A GOOD TRACK, IT WASN'T THE BEST TRACK ON THE ALBUM, AS A MATTER OF FACT THE ENTIRE ALBUM WAS GOOD, WITH EXCEPTION TO MAYBE ONE OR TWO TRACKS, BUT STILL A FIVE STAR EFFORT, QUIT HATIN.

Rating: - I like it better than GrandmastersI'll say that for it, and the one after this but no one likes that one. 3 1/2 stars Rating: - Os(The) Homem(Man)Peace Yo the God Gza aka Genuis Zig zag Allah all I can say is superb scientist right here the sounds of his scientific flow can certainly open up the Brain cells of my Black Brothers who don't recgonize ill muzik when they hear it nah sayin God-One who Posses Knowledge Wisdom understanding and Power which is Man! Peace Rating: - GZA - Beneath The SurfaceAfter taking a 4 year break, after releasing his by far classic album "Liquid Swords" he comes back in 1999 with this "Beneath The Surface" album. Now a lot of people had negative opinions aimed at this album. I know why. Because of the lack of "RZA" production. I totally agree, only one track "1112" was produced by RZA. He was busy with other sh** at the time and couldnt get in any more beats. But GZA released it and it was good. The production had other producers and they did a great job. Let me ... Read More
