Music reviews of Liquid Swords
Music Review: GZA's Cutting Edge!
Rating: 5 Stars
The first Wu-Tang Clan album I bought is the essential debut that started it all, 36 chambers. I was blown away by the supreme lyrcicism and crafty production skills of the RZA. I was extremely impressed with Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, Method Man's Tical, and GFK's Ironman. But the GZA's Liquid Swords is something else entirely. The intellectualism on display here is exactly what I look for in a hip hop record. His rhymes are so poetic and captivating they just hook the listener in and you sink into the dark world of the Wu-Tang with the GZA as your narrator. RZA's production is top notch especially on the chilling "Cold World" where the Genius is at his best featuring a top-notch verse from the Inspectah Deck. GZA's skills as a lyricist are unmatched as it seems like he can throw 10 rhymes into a sentence with very little effort. I highly recommend this album to anyone who wants to hear what hip hop should sound like. Incredible work by the GZA.

Artist: GENIUS/GZA
Title: LIQUID SWORDS
Street Release Date: 11/07/1995
Genre: RAP/HIP HOP
Some Wu members, like Cappadonna, are overly concerned with the way they dress, while others are a plain ol' inebriated mess (read: Ol' Dirty Bastard). For the GZA, it's all about the lyrics. With his nasal delivery and rapid-fire flow, he is the most experienced and oldest member of the Wu Tang Clan (he released a pre-Wu LP on Cold Chillin' Records entitled Words from the Genius in 1991). GZA's forte is battle rhymes (on his self-titled cut he declares that wack MCs' "lyrics are weak, like clock radio speakers"). On "Labels" he eloquently pens a complete song using only rap record label names. Loaded wordplay aside, beat-wise Liquid Swords is fully and exceptionally RZA-produced (peep the electric guitars and spacey synths on "Investigative Reports"). Liquid Swords is a perfect purchase for rap fiends who crave ill experimental beats and even iller punchlines. --Dalton Higgins
