Liquid Swords was a ridiculous fvckin album
- Thread starter the cac mamba
- Start date
Makes sense. It's crazy that the final version of tical isnt even the original version that was released and on top of that, inspectah decks original uncontrolled substance album (if that was the original title). I'm dying to know what the original sounded like. Got the feeling that that album would have brought further insight to the connection of all the early solo projects. One of the major tragedies in rap history. That RZA flood has to be the top 10. Imagine how much classic material he had and HE HAD NO BACKUP FLOPPY DISCS STASHED AROUND WITH ALL THE FIRE HE WORKED ON
RZA is smart as all hell and he never thought of buying a backup floppy discs just in case there was a fire or flood or some sort of issue.
The reason the beat was reused for Guillotine was Rae:
RAEKWON: To me, that was a "Symphony" track. Meth had a piece of that beat on his album that was used as a skit. Cause that's how RZA is. Sometimes he'd mix other shyt in and give you a piece of something but not really act like it's gonna be assigned to that. He'll see if somebody like it and use it for filler or whatever. I had told RZA awhile ago after he did that. "Yo, I want that beat."

The wordplay on this album is just

................................
It was the night before New Year’sDidn’t catch this until I was an adult
The sharp-shooters hit the prosecutor, judges are sent
Photographs of they wives taking baths
Along with briefcase filled with one point five—that's the bribe
Take it or commit suicide
And all through the fukking projects
Not a handgun was silent, not even a TEC
Outsiders were stuck, by enemies who put fear
And blasted on the spot before the pigs were there
You know hoods, robbers, snipers new in sight
FUKK blue and white
They escape before they flash the fukkin lights
Gunshots, shatter 1st-floor window panes
Shells hit the ground and blood stained the dice game
Whether pro-calisthenic, any style you set it
Beat nikkas toothless, physically cut up like gooses
But with iron on the sides, thugs took no excuses
Therefore, your 52 handblocks was USELESS
Links was snatched off necks, left scars on throats
Jackets took, after bullet rips through coats
Against those, who felt the cold from the steel made ‘em fold
And squeal, once the metal hit the temple of his grill
Construction worker, who was caught for his bomber
No time to swing the hammer that was hanging from his farmers

Liquid Swords is a fukkin MOVIE brehs!!!
With fall and winter approaching it's getting time to bust this album back out
I'm deep down in the back streets, in the heart of MedinaLiquid Swords is a fukkin MOVIE brehs!!!
About to set off something more deep than a misdemeanor
Under the subway, waiting for the train to make noise
So I can blast a nikka and his boys, for what?
He pushed up on the block and made the dope sales drop
Like the crash in the Dow Jones stock
I had a connect to cross-sales, to catch more mill's
Than ho-bytches got birth control pills
I'm in the park setting up a deal over blunt fire
Bum nikka sleeping on the bench, they had him wired
Peeped my convo, the address of my condo
And how I changed a nikka name to John Doe
And while we set up camp, we got vamped
Put the stake through his heart, I ripped his fukking fangs apart
Snake got smoked on the set like Brandon Lee
Blown out the frame like Pan Am Flight 103
He got swung on, his lungs was torn
A kingpin just castled with his rook and lost a pawn
A regular on the block that played lookout
For preying predator with a Glock, he should have took out
Some ppl will never understand and are left listening to a lot of bullshyt nowadays

For preying predator with a Glock, he should have took out
Big apes and spread 'em out, like crops on a farm
To get cream, sometimes they repaint the scene
Like the last episode on gates, and other nikkas
Plant bombs, till the smoke from the blast becomes thick
And flows through, all they knew, he's gun sick
His Glock clicks like high-heeled shoes on parquet floors
Mad sick, stand on hills and invade wars
Filthy foul, shovelling dirt, he's out to hurt
For instance, chop off hands, attack worth
His idols would lock down airports and extort
Some import, catching 10% of what the fiends snort
Up in the ski resorts, up in hills
They move keys and had the skis making drops on snowmobiles
The plan was to expand, catch seven figures, release triggers
And live large and bigger than my nikka
Who promised his moms a mansion with mad room
She died and he STILL put a hundred grand in her tomb
Open wounds, he hid behind closed doors
And still organizes crime and drug wars...

BREH!!!
The verse from Shadowboxin' was my favorite:I'm deep down in the back streets, in the heart of Medina
About to set off something more deep than a misdemeanor
Under the subway, waiting for the train to make noise
So I can blast a nikka and his boys, for what?
He pushed up on the block and made the dope sales drop
Like the crash in the Dow Jones stock
I had a connect to cross-sales, to catch more mill's
Than ho-bytches got birth control pills
I'm in the park setting up a deal over blunt fire
Bum nikka sleeping on the bench, they had him wired
Peeped my convo, the address of my condo
And how I changed a nikka name to John Doe
And while we set up camp, we got vamped
Put the stake through his heart, I ripped his fukking fangs apart
Snake got smoked on the set like Brandon Lee
Blown out the frame like Pan Am Flight 103
He got swung on, his lungs was torn
A kingpin just castled with his rook and lost a pawn
A regular on the block that played lookout
For preying predator with a Glock, he should have took out
I slayed MCs back in the rec room era,
My style broke motherfukking backs like Ken Patera,
Most rap nikkas came loud but unheard,
Once I pulled out, round 'em off to the nearest third,
Check these non visual nikkas, with tapes and a portrait,
Flood the seminar trying to orbit this corporate,
Industry, but what them nikkas can't see,
Must break through like the Wu, unexpectedly,
Protect Ya Neck, my sword still remains imperial,
Before I blast the mic, RZA scratch off the serial,
We reign all year 'round from June to June,
While nikkas bite immediately if not soon,
Set the lynching and form the execution date,
As this two thousand beyond slang suffocate,
Amplify sample through vacuum tubes compressions,
Cause RZA to charge nikkas twenty Gs a session
That beat, too... "Oh man, Oh man, Oh man...."
Can't wait for winter to drop so I can throw this on
