Yea, I never really looked at as an album that told a story in sequence because it doesn't necessarily do that. You can place most the songs on Cuban Linx on a Wu group album and it wouldn't be that out of place. You can't place "Sherane" off GKMC and place it on a Black Hippy project without it kind of being out of place.

GOAT album to me. I thought so a few years after I first heard it and I still feel so today. Hip Hop at it's zenith. Beats, rhymes, legendary MCs, GOAT group, Nas spits one of his greatest verses on a feature, legendary skits... :wow:

i feel this, 100%. i respect this :salute::myman:

nikka.......

First week of August, training camp, 100 yard winds sprints, 10 second rests, in over 100 degree heat:whew::mjlol::damn:

nikkaz hit the weight room immediately after running, tired, legs feel like jello, nikkaz throwin up, passin out...:dead:


Throw on a purple cassette on an old ghetto blaster with Christmas lights on that muthafukka...

nikkaz from Cali, Florida, New York, Michigan, Ohio, Delaware magically regain the strength of 80 midgets as soon as Criminology hits the muthafukkin speaker, reps out 315 on the incline:ooh:

:wow: now THAT'S powerful :salute:

Popa Wu always had a young dude like :ohhh:

RZA said something like that also. He said once you choose a life as a murderous criminal, you can't toe that line. You a bad guy and you gotta stick to that unless you change completely. He said Scarface was wrong for not killing the wife and kids, after he made a promise, because he was already in that world killing people. Just because you spared those kids and woman's lives that time, doesn't mean you're absolved of all the countless other kids and womens lives you destroyed from the murders you committed in your pursuit of riches.

Hasn't come out yea, breh. They were trying to get proper funds for it but I'm not sure of the status of the funding or the production of it. Wouldn't be surprised if it never sees the light of day...like a lot of other projects Wu promised.

Lol. Definitely. The little trailer they did for it looked well put together and interesting. I still have a lil hope that it'll drop if Rae and Ghost actually drop Cuban Linx 3. They both talked recently about being in the studio working on it. Maybe the documentary can be a companion piece. At this point tho I'm more looking forward to Supreme Clientele 2, which Ghost claims is damn near complete (he said he was waiting for sample clearances and a few guest features).

I dont think Liquid Swords 2 will ever come out and I hope it doesnt. Both RZA and GZA are waaaaaaay past that mental at this point. Now Dark Matter needs to drop asap. If done correctly that will be a huge landmark for grown, mature Hip Hop music.

damn, you know, the fact that you said that part about them bein' way past "that mental" speaks volumes to where they WERE back when they made liquid swords. but you right :mjcry:
