A continuation of my "Favorite Track off a Classic or Great album" threads. Yesterday I covered Raekwon's "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx" in which the majority voted for "Incarcerated Scarfaces". Today it will be another certified & instant classic, GZA's "Liquid Swords". If there's an album that I can listen to forever it's definitely Liquid Swords. Some people consider it the best Wu solo album , as well as one of the best albums of all time. If someone would tell me they prefer LS over OB4CL I wouldn't be mad considering they're both immaculate albums & I myself prefer to listen to LS during the winter. RZA again produces every track on the album except for BIBLE which was produced by 4th Disciple. The fact that RZA produced 5 classic in under 18 months still blows my mind & shows why he's on of the GOAT's. The movie samples used for LS are some of the best I've ever seen, the intro to "Liquid Swords" still gives me the chills. My favorite track on here is a tie between "4th Chamber" & "Shadowboxin'". The beat on "4th Chamber" is just:scust: I've never heard something like that at the time & is a top ten beat. shyt sounds like the apocalypse. Everyone on the song provides dope verses in which RZA arguably & surprisingly has the best verse & probably RZA's best verse of all time. "Shadowboxin'" showcases why RZA is possibly the GOAT. The dudes ear for samples is unmatched. The track gets me hyped for anything. The track also has possibly Method Man's best verse. GZA also provides a verse that is on par with Method's. The fact that we will never get anything like this again is :mjcry:. I'm gonna listen to LS right now & Ironman to get ready for tomorrow's thread. What's your favorite track off this classic? & if you can, explain.

Gold has always been my favorite track off of the album. It sounds so chaotic at the beginning, but once the initial sample dissipates, and the chorus sampled in the background kicks in...you know the part that sounds like enlightened angels goin, "Ahhhhhhhhh". :wow: The hook of a hungry hustler. :wow:

4th Chamber will prolly run the polls.

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

But that Picture GZA painted on Killah Hills 10304 tho :whew:

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

:wow::wow::wow:

I'm in the park setting up a deal over blunt fire
Bum nikka sleeping on the bench, they had him wired
Peeped my convo, the address of my condo
And how I changed a nikka name to John Doe

:wow: one of my favorite verses period.

but my vote goes to killah hills..
