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

Rating: - High Octane Lyricism On The Clan's Greatest Solo Album!
If I had to pick a favorite Hip Hop album this would most likely be it. I can't explain how much I love this album, and what it means to me, but I'll be damned if I'm not gonna try.

The first time I heard this I was struck on how good it was. I seriously never heard lyrics like these (probably never will again.) The second time I heard it, I was digging it even more, and finally the third time I heard it, I knew I had to go out and get it. When I first got this, I carried it around ... Read More

Rating: - Best Wu Solo Album
If i had to pick the best Wu Tang solo album this would be it without any question. Gza may be one of the finest lyricist to come out. The production is top notch. The lyrics are dope, what more can you ask for its wutang. Duel Of The Iron Mic would be one of my favorite joints. Swordsmen, Cold World, 4th Chamber and B.i.b.l.e are all dope tracks. And who could forget Shadowboxin, i dont know anyone that doesnt know that song, wu fan or not.

Rating: - CLASSIC
Everything about this album is amazing -- classic Wu banger. From the cult classic film samples Shogun Assasin to RZA's awe-inspiring production to GZA's elder of wisdom like lyrics and flow.

Everything about this album is on point. I still listen to this album casually to this day. For those who have never heard "Liquid Swords" or and are fixated on the modern 'money and cars' commercial hip-hop paradigm garbage and want to know the true essence of hip-hop is buy this. Other Wu albums ... Read More

Rating: - A Work Of Art
This album is a classic work of art. The production is great and compliments the GZA's style perfectly. This is the kind of album that leaves you thinking about it and wanting to get home to put it on. It flows from start to end and it is very deep and rich in it's lyrics. I don't think this album can ever be topped. What can I say? Everyone should have this album.

Rating: - I feel bad for 50 if he really wants beef with the GZA...
I'm gonna do a track-by-track analysis of Liquid Swords. That's the only way I could to this album justice. This is easily stacks up in the top 3 albums I own, and that' s saying A LOT as I own tons of albums... the only track I didn't like on this was hell's windstaff, which is ironically enough the only skit on this album...


Liquid Swords - 4.75/5

This is an outstanding track and does justice to the "title track" title. I'd have given it a 5/5 were it not for the ... Read More
