Weakest Song On A Classic: Liquid Swords

[Whips-n-Chains]

What's the weak link on Liquid Swords?...an album where every single song is classic, but some aren't as classic as the others. Please don't be dense and take this to mean the song itself is whack, I'm asking what song isn't as strong as the others.

To me...BIBLE doesn't really count, so it has to be Labels. Song is dope, creative, but it just doesn't hold up to bangers like Duel of the Iron Mic or 4th Chamber...the beat isn't as strong as the others, and I always felt it breaks up the dark, dreary vibe of tracks 1-5, then tracks 7-13 are all non-stop bangers.

What y'all think?

I'm a Wu Stan myself...but I have no issue saying certain songs are better than others...

Liquid swords is always a skip for me

I'd have to say Killa Hillz. I think that one is slightly out of place and could've moved to the first side, probably before Cold World.

Labels was always like the intermission that ends Side A on the cassette, so I never thought it took me out of the album.

a skip, breh?

probably a top 5 song on the album to me, such dope intro into Duel of the Iron Mic, and the rest of the album

Love the grimey ass loosely told story telling on this...verse was gutter. The beat sounds more "Forever"-era RZA than 1995-era RZA to me, but it was always fire. It's the part 2 to "Life of a Drug Dealer"

Trash
Annoying beat and hook

Cold World. The remix should have been on here instead of the original.

I think the remix is the better song, but the original fits the album better.
