Whats the deal with this album? Is it any good? Is it raer? Does it sound like Wu-Tang? I always thought Liquid Swords was Gza's first LP, but the Wu-Tang Manual knowledged me.

    it's actually a pretty good album. If you listen to it you'll hear alot or lyrics that were reused for later WU Songs. There's one verse that ODB does completely over on that remix he did with E 40. Other members quote lyrics from that album alot. it's some good early production from Easy Moe Bee also who does most the album. The stand out tracks would be:

    words from a genius
    phooney as you wanna be
    genius is slammin
    true fresh mc
    feel the pain
    those were the days
    life a drug dealer
    drama...

    actually the only song that's "bad" is the single, "come do me" which is r&b flavored and was actually a RZA song originally...


    I'm pretty sure the original vinyl is not that common. That one pictured above is the reissue when they added the bonus cut "pass the bone" w/rza.

    basically, its an album that's all over soulseek - its not that great - I'd rate the grand daddy I.U lp way ahead of it. The lp pictured above is the reisue. The kind of thing you'd buy, put on the shelf & forget about. Kinda like a poor man's big daddy kane.

    From a GZA and Wu Tang fan, this album sux ass. It's nearly as embarrassing as Prince Rakeem and how he likes the ladies...

    i like the whole album just for the novelty of hearing gza over some early 90s type beats that are different from any wu tang stuff.

    co-sign - Also, "Pass the Bone" is a mixtape constant for me.

    Yes. Definitely feeling this one. Same sample as Dooley-O's "headbangers ball" and another song thats in the random rap secion of Funky Skunk.

    Even though I should



    I gotta ask: where's that sample from?
