Liquid Swords 30th Anniversary

[phrank kastle]

30 years of Liquid Swords. I’m more of a purple tape fan, but this is more like a 1b for me.
They go hand in hand, just depends on the weather lol. But, this is definitely one of the greatest albums ever.

I own over 7500 vinyl, maybe 2000 cds and I don't know the number of tapes. This may be the album I've bought the most out of everything. Bouight it in 95, bought it again in 98, again in 2012. purchased the chess box record store day cd version, and also purchased the chess box record store day vinyl version(these came with a full chess set and instrumentals). The sun rises in the east comes in 2nd with 3 times purchased. (I'm not including dollar bin records like Thriller in the early 2000s)

I was kinda bummed they didn’t press anything for the 30th anniversary. I have the regular cd, chess box cd, & bottle green vinyl. I need the chess box vinyl & Marvel variant.

A true classic
Zero skips, zero wack bars, zero wack beats.
A legendary producer and MC in total sync in their primes

These anniversaries are getting scarier. It feels like I’m 2 paychecks from Illmatic turning 50.

The Sword Remains Imperial: GZA's Masterpiece Turns 30 | Passion of the Weiss

To commemorate three decades of "Liquid Swords," we're running a retooled version of a Jeff Weiss feature that originally ran in the rec room era.

Restaurants on a Stakeout so order the food to Takeout chaos outside of Sparks Steakhouse

that's my favorite song on the album. My favorite bars are

"look whose on the witness stand singing/ a well known Soprano, smash hit by Sammy Gravano"

One of the illest double entendres ever. I loved that song so much that 10304 was my phone passcode for YEARS until my wife looked over my shoulder in the movie theater one night and saw it. Then I finally changed it.

Liquid Swords and Hell On Earth are the GOAT winter-time albums.

Nobody was fukking with GZA at this time

Yo, picture bloodbaths in elevator shafts
Like these murderous rhymes tight from genuine craft
Check the print, it's where veterans spark the letterings
Slow-moving MCs is waiting for the editing
The liquid soluble that made up the chemistry
A gaseous element that burned down your ministry
Herbal vapors and biblical papers
Smoking Exodus, every square yard is plush
fukk the screw-faced photo sessions, facial expression leaves impression
Try to keep a shark nikka guessing
Give crazy shouts, son, here's the outcome
Cut across the semi-gloss rhymes you floss
shyt is outdated, just like neckloads of Sterlings
Suede-fronts, bell-bottoms, and tri-colored Shearlings
I ain't particular, I bang like vehicular homicides
On July 4th from Bed-Stuy
Where money don't grow on trees and there's thieving MCs
Who cutthroat to rake leaves
They can't breathe, blood splash, rushing fast like running rivers
I be that whiskey in your liver
