Liquid Swords was a ridiculous fvckin album
- Thread starter the cac mamba
- Start date
Take It In Blood
Banned
Gza is the sharpest in the Wu
classic song after classic song
picture bloodbaths, in elevator shafts
when everyone sees yas a racist cac,
give props to liquid swords

Words can't even describe the run that RZA was on at the time. Being able to not only produce dozens of beats but ensure each album was curated to sound a certain way. LS doesn't sound like CL, production wise. It's grittier where CL has more of a bounce to it (plus some blaxpoitation).
And then to advance all the sounds for Wu Forever...shyt is crazy.

Arguably the cleanest album out of the Wu solos. Definitely a classic.

The banks of G, all cream downs a bet
Money feed good, opposites off the set
It ain't hard to see, my seeds need God-degree
I got mouths to feed, unnecessary beef is more cows to breed - 4th Chamber
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 - Gold
That picture GZA painted was just
There's no need for us to spray up the scene
I use less men, more powerful shyt for my team
Like my man Muhammad from Afghanistan
Grew up in Iran, the nikka runs a neighbourhood news-stand
A wild Middle Eastern, bomb specialist
Initiated, at eleven to be a terrorist
He set bombs in bottles of champagne
And when nikkaz popped the cork, nikkaz lost half they brains - Killah Hills 10304
Protect Ya Neck, my sword still remain imperial
Before I blast the mic, RZA scratch off the serial - Shadowboxin'
He got swung on, his lungs was torn
A Kingpin just Castled with his Rook and lost a Pawn - Gold
There's no need for us to spray up the scene
I use less men, more powerful shyt for my team
Like my man Muhammad from Afghanistan, grew up in Iran
The nikka runs a neighborhood newsstand
A wild Middle Eastern, bomb specialist
Initiated, at eleven to be a terrorist
He set bombs in bottles of champagne
So when nikkas popped the cork, nikkas lost half they brains - Killah Hills 10304
GZA showcased elite lyricism on this album

I never liked that track, glad to see I’m not the only one.
Still my GOAT Wu solo album.

That track is weak, breh. It's not the worst track in the world but it's an obvious step down from all the material before it.
I got into this discussion with a shytposter years ago and I'm sure that's why he stalks me to this day. Even RZA implied the song was whatever but GZA forced it on the album because Killah Priest was his artist.
Because of this thread I gotta go listen to the album top 5 of all the time

I listened to this album constantly driving from Oakland to Santa Barbara. One of the greatest albums ever made. Arguably the best Wu solo
I love liquid swords. It's my favorite wu solo album. However, as great as that album is, gza overall as an artist and especially lyricist before and after liquid swords is extremely underappreciated and undervalued. He doesn't get enough credit for his lyrics and music outside of liquid swords and 36 chambers. Folks will quote the same songs 36 chambers and liquid swords and ignore what he did on beneath the surface, protool, legend and etc. I'm not sure if people are aware that GZA hasn't put out a solo album in 10 years.
