RZA Believes 'No Other MC Can Compare' to GZA — Not Even Nas or Rakim

[Redwood]

I don't think GZA ever had a wack line, next to Jadakiss?

 

[Ziggiy]

I all we want to talk about is Gza and how he rapped on Liquid Swords, an album that came out in '95? Nah I can't do it

Liquid Swords is a legit top 10 rap album of all time. You rap like THAT and you’re solidified for all time. Its the same with Illmatic, Great Adventures of Slick Rick, Paid in Full, and Doggystyle. Sometimes a master proves he’s a master his first go round and doesn’t necessarily have to prove it again. Its rarified air to even have an album on the level of Liquid Swords lets not forget that.

Thats not to say he can’t be surpassed but every single member of the Wu gives it up to GZA. They bow to him as the architect that sparked the entire Wu movement that changed the course of Hip Hop music.

 

[L $ C]

thats his fam so ok

with that said in all seriousness gza is not a top 30 mc of all time and nas is top 3 at lowest

 

[ManBearPig]

I always thought GZA was Rakim with better wordplays and song writing abilities.

 

[Apollo Creed]

Rae my fav outta the Wu, but I was always more into Fly nikka Raps.

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

I agree but I also don’t GZA definitely is up there

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

I don't think GZA ever had a wack line, next to Jadakiss?

I’m sure Jada has had wack lines somewhere

 

[Bugzbunny129]

On the street in that era probably. Many bugger stars have come out later to say wutang terrorized them.

Record making, into the new era of the game, obviously not.

LS a perfect album tho.

 

[Corndog]

Not an unreasonable take to be honest

GZA is the most efficient rapper ever, nobody has ever been so ill by just sticking to the tried and true
No flashy bells and whistles, just beautifully refined rhymes

Excellence

 

[Piff Perkins]

That's the answer he's supposed to give as a Wu member.

From a pure rapping and lyricism perspective GZA is high on my list, but not as high as he'd be with better albums. RZA has a classic album with him, Muggs has a great album with him...but outside of that it's mixed.

 

[New Jeruzalem Journalist]

He not wrong

GZA is amazing


Maybe wise intelligent can do the same level

Dap and Rep.

Peep the avi.

Wise Intelligent is a top 5 DOA lyricist.

 

[Mank1nd]

GZA raps about actual science and Nas raps about pseudo-science. That's how I see it.

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

I can see that and I said that Meth and Deck is also the best in the Wu. I like Gza and I have tons of stories of him (some good and some pretty bad) as I used to date his cousin and still talk to her to this day. Everyone says Gza based off of Liquid Swords, a thirty year old album. Deck and Meth have been consistent up until now. Gza has had tracks here and there and his rhyme schemes have not aged well. I can't put him over Wu rappers who as still doing their craft up until now but all we want to talk about is Gza and how he rapped on Liquid Swords, an album that came out in '95? Nah I can't do it

Nah, I think Gza actually has an underrated catalog. Except for his true debut, he's never dropped a half assed album.

Beneath the Surface
Legend of the Liquid Sword
Grandmasters
Pro-Tools

Were all high quality, and Pro-Tools has a track that legit shut 50, who was hot at the time and itching to battle Wu for staircase related reasons, and the Unit the fukk up.

It's just that Liquid Swords is SUCH a fine piece of art that of course it's the first thing we all think of. I'd put LS up against Thriller without batting an eye. What Rza, Gza and the Clan did on there is something else.

 

[Ironman]

Nas is my personal GOAT but there’s no way I'd have an issue if someone believes it's GZA. It's fukking GZA

 

[Redwood]

Speaking of GZA, what ever happened to Dark Matter?
