Can Somebody Explain why GZA Liquid Swords is considered a classic :lupe

[MenacingMonk]

Just sayin. 4th Chamber and Cold World slams...but I just can't for the life of me bump the album steady like Supreme Clientele, Cuban Linux, and etc.


Its hard

Shadowboxin and Duel of the Iron Mic go hard too. Not GZA, but BIBLE is a great bonus track.

My wife loved BIBLE tho. Everytime, we say something about the bible, she spits the chorus

 

[TheMailMan]

Cuz when he swing his sword he's unchoppable ..

 

[BuddahMAC]

It could be just because it's a different vibe b/c it's a winter album and that darker tone throws you off...

 

[NZA]

i have heard that koalas have intellectual deficits and venereal diseases, and gosh darn it, i think that may be true!

 

[Yagirlcheatinonus]

Well Cuban Linx my fav album of all time but Liquid Swordz stand on its own

 

[TripleAgent]

Stop eating Coca leaves, that album is a masterpiece.

 

[315]

Because it’s outstanding

 

[UnQuantized]

Masterpiece

 

[Zero]

Look at the state of this subforum

 

[GreenGhxst]

It sounds like the demo of a midtier rapper

 

[Piffiztheanswer]

Type album you gotta bump in the winter when the streets is empty and its snowing.

 

[Shadow King]

It's definitely in the Top 3 Wu solo albums, but I agree that it's wild overrated. A great 4.5/5 mics album, but not impeccable

So...a classic like it supposedly "isn't"?

Exactly. If anything, its a good album but I remember a den of "real hip hop" cacs straight up shytted on me because I did not get on my knees and pray to the fukking album. I mean, I get it...it's lyrical but its a prime example of "lyrical spiritual" nonsense that becomes boring and dated

No it isn't

 

[Complexion]

@Blessed Koala Can you use a calendar? Grasp spiritual concepts? Perform addition, subtraction and multiplication?

In other words:

Spoiler

Whats todays mathematics, gawd?

 

[Ze Pequeno]

Now this is a thread all in this thread. Despite the flabbiness after their double album, the Wu is wild iconic.

Nothing flabby about Supreme Clientele, Fishscale and OB4BL2 breh

But I agree with OP. Tried to like Liquid Swordz for years but GZA is just too boring for me. I never got the appeal for him and masta Killah. Straight killing the momentum on Triumph
