Favorite track off GZA's - "Liquid Swords" (Poll & Discussion)

[Sound (∀√a) Maths]

"Cause at a young age I was molded in a religion I relied on, and got caught up in superstition..."

Somehow I slept on Swordsman at first (Shadowboxin was my favorite for a long time) but that Swordsman beat is fukking incredible. Easily one of the best hip hop beats ever

As the years go on, as far as solo tracks on the album go, Swordsman is just incredible. Definitely my favorite solo joint from the album and I've never really heard a beat that sounds like it before or since.

Yup

 

[Man]

So deep it's picked up on radio in tunnels

When the mceez caaame to live out their naaame, and, to perform, some had to snort cocaaaine to act insaaane

4th Chamber. Didn't use to be one of my favorite tracks but it grew on me a lot, especially after hearing the album on shrooms 4 or 5 years ago. RZA and Ghosts verses plus the demonic guitar riff

Gold and Duel are close.

 

[Inspect Her Deck]

The greatest album of all-time bar none.

shyt damn near every song is perfect.

I'm gonna go for Duel of the Iron Mic.

hell's wind staff / killah hills 10304

If you asked me a couple years ago, I would have said 4th Chamber. But last year I OD'd on Liquid Swords for a week straight and now I gotta say Killah Hills 10304. Low key, the greatest mafioso verse ever
Judges are sent photographs of their wives taking baths
Along with a briefcase filled with 1.5
That's the bribe
Take it or commit suicide

 

[Danie84]

I pledge allegiance to the Hip Hop

 

[Da_Eggman]

I gotcha back but it's best to watch your front

 

[patscorpio]

Most rap nikkas came loud but unheard
Once I pulled out, round 'em off to the nearest third

I always loved this line

 

[No Homo]

Swordsman or 4th chamber

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

Can we count the intro and Duel of the iron mic as one track?

Probably one of the best starts to an album ever.

 

[Dirty D]

Can we just talk about this album cover for a minute? The comic book look, GZA stabbing a guy, while a Ghostface Killah chops a head behind him, while the leader pulling the strings aka RZA surveys the scene, guarded by 2 more Wu-Tang soldiers.

Playing this now, gonna work out to it then head out to the Raptors/Heat game.

Living in the World Today was followed by an annoying youtube ad. Gold almost got my vote.

4th chamber hands down,,, the beat is bananas,,, and my man killah priest laced that shyt
that shyt was short and sweet bruhs....
I judge wisely as if nothing ever surprise me
Lounging between two pillars of ivory
I'm lively, my dome piece is like building stones in Greece
Our poems are deep, from ancient tomes I speak
I'm overwhelmed as my mind roams the realm
My eye's the visions, memory is the film
Others act sub-tile, but they fragile above cloud
They act wild and couldn't budge a crowd
No matter how loud they get, though they growl and spit
Clutch they fistsand throw up signs like a Crip
And throw all types of fit
I leave them splitlike ass cheeks and ragged p*ssy lips
