When I was 16 or 17 i thought this album was amazing. Now I realize its fukking trash

Usually it's the other way around.

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

Look who's on the witness stand singing, a well known soprano, a smash hit by Sammy Gravano...

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.

Legend is his best album lyrically.

classic album but I still think "Only Built for Cuban line" was better. Gza though is clearly the best mc outta the Wu.

Top 5 Hip Hop album
I been wanting for years to see a remastered edition released but I fear it will take away from that gritty sound.

the remastered version came out 6 years ago along with an instrumental version of liquid swords with has all the tracks minus swordsman and bible and a minature chess set with a special booklet. you may be able to find it on ebay or amazon but it was one of those special limited time releases.

Sucks Bible not on it, that was my favorite track and changed my way of thinking on religion.
