Liquid Swords was a ridiculous fvckin album

[SonnyDecay]

Also low key I think Liquid Swords inspired the sound for a lot of late 90’s/early 00’s “underground” albums.

but at the same time some of the beats are too unique to ever be properly copied. like some of the small sounds on shyt like 4th chamber is rza was on fire

He used to heat up the cypher with a shot that was hyper than your average JFK sniper

 

[John Hull]

First time I heard this I was just

Yo the fiends ain't comin fast enough
There is no cut that's pure enough
I can't fold, I need gold
I reup and reload
Product must be sold to you

Came in to post this! That song is so fuccin raw.

Greatest Rap Album Cover of All Time

 

[TrifeGod]

I'll never forget listenin to Liquid Swords and Rza and Gza going back n forth on some cool shyt

then he hits us with

Yo, picture bloodbaths and elevator shafts
Like these murderous rhymes tight from genuine craft
Check the print, it's where veterans spark the letterings
Slow moving MCs is waiting for the editing
The liquid soluble that made up the chemistry
A gaseous element, that burned down your ministry
Herbal vapors and biblical papers
Smoking Exodus, every square yard is plush
fukk the screw-faced photo sessions, facial expression
Leaves impressions, try to keep a shark nikka guessing
Give crazy shouts Son here's the outcome
Cut across the semi-gloss rhymes you floss
shyt is outdated, just like neckloads of Sterlings
Suede-fronts, bell-bottoms, and tri-colored Shearlings
I ain't particular, I bang like vehicular homicides
On July 4th in Bed-Stuy
Where money don't grow on trees and there'sthieving MC's
Who cut-throat to rake leaves
They can't breathe, blood splash, rushing fast
Like running rivers, I be that whiskey in your liver



Jesus fukking christ

THATS LIGHT

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

Favorite album ever (with Illmatic).

 

[JoseLuisGotcha]

Got witness him perfom the album live at Rock the Bells in nyc

 

[Piff Perkins]

Me too. It used to be Linx but over the years it maybe has changed to this.

Also low key I think Liquid Swords inspired the sound for a lot of late 90’s/early 00’s “underground” albums.

LS v Cuban Linx might be my favorite rap debate, and I've changed my mind many times over the years. I gotta go with LS too though, at least right now. I prefer the lyrical diversity and different concepts on LS.

 

[pimpineasy]

Imagine getting that album not knowing what to expect.
Gza cool but I don't really know man.
That album was so dense so lyrical so grimey.
Man . definitely a 5/5 album.

 

[PoorAndDangerous]

I always have to take a shower after listening to this album so gritty

 

[Kaydigi]

He still got it, he spazzed

 

[King Sun]

Im not paricular but i bang like vehicular homicide

 

[The War Report]

When 4th chamber came on during one of the scenes in s3 of Narcos.

 

[mbz]

Ring like shots from Glocks that attract cops
Around the clubs and try to shut down the hip-hop
But we only increase if everything is peace
Father You See King the police
