3-way tie between Duel Of The Iron Mic, Labels, and Investigative Reports.

Labels was flawlessly executed, but probably my bottom 2 fav beats on the album with Killah Hills 10304

Investigative Reports deserves more love tbh

LS of course

BTS and LOTLS weren't classic but had gems. words of a genius was good for what it was.

his debut with Cold Chillin is severely underrated, has some great stuff on there

and I can't believe the same dude who wrote Come Do Me would then produce one of the most dark, visceral and honest albums of all-time a few years later

GZA was more versatile than people gave him credit for

He's my favourite lyricist easily

Liquid Swords and No Said Date

I remember downloading No Said Date track for track when it first dropped and I was amazed at how good that shyt was. Masta Killa always was under rated, I like his slow flow and they way he pronounces certain shyt with the emphasis based on the word, eg "cos i STRIKEEE, like thunder" ... he does that shyt all the time and its dope.

GZAs other albums though

that dude has the worst beat selection of all time

 

[JayBaldacci]

off topic, masta killa ripped 1112

GZA honestly has the Nas syndrome

Elite lyricists and a less than stellar discography due to poor beats, but at least Nas has another classic

 

[Mr. Negative]

Tried listening to No Said Date to see what the deal was about it.....

Couldn't get into it.

lotls is probably gza at his best though.

lotls is probably gza at his best though.

probably yeah. Conceptually for sure.

I think he was more focused on Liquid Swords though, like a once in a lifetime moment.

 

[Inspect Her Deck]

I hope everyone is listening to the album


Only reasonable excuse to explain the lack of discussion

 

[Deltron]

LS is certified...others are solid albums though. Grandmasters is a personal favorite, as is No Said Date and its follow up, Made in Brooklyn
