Just jotting down some notes as i listen.....
-the evolution of the sound pioneered on 36 chambers, dark and atmospheric
-RZA at his creative peak? cacophony of sound, songs like "Gold" and "Cold World (sound very nujabes! "Somebody gotta die"), "4th Chambers" sounds like Prog Rock, mishmash of all these different elements, "Shadowboxin" is one of the smoothest RZA beats ever, as crisp and soulful as anything Premo, Just Blaze and Ye ever produced
-All the guest starts CRUSH it
-GZA is a minimalist rapper, sounds very reminiscent of MF Doom to me, and that fits the atmospheric sound, but in a good way...the lyrics are transparent peaks into his thoughts and narrative, the few times that a lack of style/swag work in favor for a rapper.
-I Gotcha Back is a very 36 Chambers-esque song, also sounds like something Mobb Deep wouldve made

I Gotcha Back definitely 36 Chambers kinda sound. It's the same sample at C.R.E.A.M. too.
Might definitely be RZA at his creative peak. The sample for Killah Hills 20304 for example is stupid. To me RZA's peak is either this or Cuban Linx. It's crazy to me that there's still samples on these albums that haven't been discovered yet. Swordsman is the one on Liquid Swords that I hope to hear one day. Most underrated joint on the album.
These are fire and I run these videos once every couple years
