GZA The Genius "Liquid Swords"


Classic 90's east coast rap album by The GZA. Got tons of collaborations with other Wu-Tang members and some others like Killah Priest on B.I.B.L.E. Lots of good tracks that everyone has heard, but probably not on this record but from samples of it. The album art is great, an artist for Marvel comics did it. Typical Wu-Tang images, swords, chess board etc. A few of the tracks, like the first two, have a sick sample from an old Kung Fu movie called Shogun Assassin. Its actually the movie from Kill Bill when Uma is watching a movie with her daughter in Bill's house just before Uma and Bill fight it out. Check it out and enjoy.
