And I think I've heard Rae say Ghost is the best, lol. This shh is all personal preference, aint no best

A big part of these opinions that gets left unsaid: we won't see what he sees; unreleased work, unfinished concept tracks, obscure collabs, etc.

The average listener isn't going to be privy to the insider stuff. The opinions from someone plugged in to everything like RZA will only go so far. Without the real-world crucible, it's just talk.

This is not factual

Gza rza and odb had prime youth cockiest versions of qtip busta rhymes and jay z shook to death.

Busta said he was SHOOK



Qtip said they ambished him at school



Comparing prime nyc 80s to anywhere else is a joke in the 80s

In the MECCA. During The only era any of this even mattered. Rap olympics lmao.

Know ya pulling a rza rn tryna out on ya man but liquid swords is a real classic art. Time to get over this and not repeat the same post verbatim 200x.


Plus rap olympics was created by wendy day to put eminem on. Period.




Ya boy is responsible for a fd fraud getting a name. No points. fukk eminem and his Style morphing to turn hip hop into what it is so he can be super white boy. Whole comeup was created by the industry. He had no links to nothing.

No points for that. At all. We aint comparing nyc street battles in the era of eras to manufactured LA industry battles. NA

They got used as pawns for the white boys come up. Whole time he had the industry heads behind him planning all his beefs and comeup.

This is dope tho




When did ju not smash out.
as the west east and east coast best emcee.
starting as a kid with his jaw wired shut. predating any of his contemporaries.
in rhe new school way of thought.
In the same time frame did ypu miss out on.
That which.

tuna from j5 to numark to xzibit and likwits. Plus the entire world tour can all vouch for.
is and still is nicer than everybody else in the west coast grassroots. as esrly as before ten.
Plus serving every coast that includes being the best.
Plus servjng est of three times dope. Making ju three times doper than anybody you mention..


So stop the cap

While at the same time.

Busts and all of them.
were still cypher'n and hoping for a loan dodger ssving deal.
Ju was on nationally.
While they were in high school.

Ju in the same timeline had already made prime time radio a viable profitable marketplacing. Beford rakim and biz met to this story of busta and them in high school.


When ju madd it possible for primetime radio. Ju did this with his jaw wired shut for six months straight.
Off the head snd undefeated.

plus win national on a level kther never matched.

thst is just to crush your timeline you began with.


Just for starters.


You should have googled :

reversals@counters.com
To get yo beginning timeline right.


As ju is factually doper than the entire world's history of rapper's that are all his contemporary.

@Bugzbunny129

you still mek favorite rabbit hole poppin poster. Yet time to kill all your rappers comparisons in timeline.


Plus, ju was relevent with wendy day.

Way before rap olympics.

Way before people made up this eight mile lie. That is prevalent in the marketplace. Which peoole derivided from fard and hiphopinfinity.com. plus the eight mile lie eberybody that raps is apart ofnhiphop overnight.
Falsely deflecting affirmative action style semantics of inclusion of eminem at rhe rap olympics.
Where eminem earned throughed't grassroots skill to show and prove same as ju. Yet racism and this eight milenlie mixed together. Has ju removed from his proper place in history. Mixed with the pr hate encapsulated in the bds njmber one ranked classic you posted.

I have the facts and skills in mek favor in This discussion.

Plus when you ready to play strings behind the curtain talk.

You can break kayfabe.

to say who you are publically. Instead of rhe mysterious rabbit hole pop up username of sohh lore.
Peace mek sohh brethren.

You have lauced't.

By mek facts on mek table.

I don't agree but Gza has zero bad verses


Ju don't have no bad verses freestyle or written.
That's no bullshyttin.
We can start from real cultural debut.



Juice is the goat dope emcee.

That's period...



Juice ahead of y'all time.

I can slow down time.

One of the most overlooked, underrated rap albums ever. Top 20 rap album ever, imo.

Nah, Liquid Swords was pretty much critically acclaimed the minute it dropped.

Definitely not overlooked or underrated.

Marley Marl had a whole segment on Future Flavas asking callers to vote on OB4CL vs Liquid Swords. Sh*t was damn near tied. NYC went crazy for that album in real time, back then. It's a Top 5 Wu project. It was always reviewed well and loved. And it's a platinum album. It's just like RZA said though, the album did really well, but GZA isn't into the spotlight. So even though it was a huge success, you didn't see him everywhere.

It definitely is, by the people, no one ever mentions it brother. At least I never hear/see it mentioned. I thought that shhit was perfect as a kid, like perfect like Illmatic type shh. As I got older there’s a few joints I don’t really jack like that but it’s still a 4.8 out of 5 album imo.

I got it neck and neck with Only Built. See, Only Built gets mentioned, it gets the praise and all that…LS doesn’t even get a fraction of that and it’s almost just as great to me

Above the fray.
I heard Notes from the Genius before Wutang came out.
Nothing groundbreaking or memorable.

GZA is great, but you can usually pick out elite emcees before their sound comes together. Nothing stood out in terms of lyrics on that first album.

i think Nas/Black Thought the best to ever do it but LIQUID SWORDZ is one of the greatest albums ever. matter of fact, if LS were GZA debut, thats 3 id put above Illmatic.
