[thatunit995]

Why is that intro just an intro?

[zevlovex222]

RZAs murda beat

[ONEoakRECORDS]

"I be swinging swords stricktly based on keyboards, Unbalanced like elephants and ants on see saws".

Well what you know about MCing?

Yo, I know a lot.

Well can you demonstrate something nigga?

I'd rather not.

I'm talking about stacks cuz...

Nigga that's what I got.

Cash rules the world.

And cash rules the spot.

[ThermalNero]

What the fuck is that sample at the beginning??

[MrStevietRI]

best hip hop album ever......Muddy Waters close 2nd

[rakimkoolgrapwutang]

That shit is just, you have to be dealin' with what I'm dealin' with to know what I'm talkin' about. The way it's put, only certain people will know or appreciate. Everything relates."

[ChangeOfPaceHiphop]

@rakimkoolgrapwutang I see your name my friend. Happy Birthday.

To me, all music today feels grey. If you feel the same way, then play.

[rakimkoolgrapwutang]

See, now that line right there is way deeper than muhfuckas. I'm talkin' about 'heads roll on hillsides behind ropes,' I'm takin' it back to Europe, Caucus Mountains, and Turkish soldiers who was guardin' the mountain when beasts tried to run out the cages, they took the head. Europe, 'eu' means hill side, and rope means the rope to bind in.

[rakimkoolgrapwutang]

I'm talkin' 'bout Chevy, car, then I say station, what kind of station? So I say, 'Double edged was the guillotine that beheaded it/ gassed up, fuckin' with some regular unleaded shit.' He's in the station. Everything relates. but now I'm talkin' about guillotines, so I say, 'heads roll,' cause we took heads off, 'heads roll on hillsides behind ropes/ that bind in, now x marks the spot on the scope.'

[rakimkoolgrapwutang]

Everything is like pieces, just like when I say, 'My rhyme great gross weight vehicle combination.' Anybody who has a license and is familiar with it, that's a certain term, Gross Weight Vehicle Combination, for trucks. But I said, 'my rhyme great gross weight vehicle combination/ is too heavy for the Chevys that's chased out the station.'

If so, then you're wrong. I love this album and i hear it all the time. All i wrote was that this one is my fav. That this one is MY favorite. I'm sure you like some songs better than other.

[askjrvbjkrfbvhjbdjf]

intro beat??? 

[deanblaze2000]

I know it's been said and i'm preaching to the choir but DAMN this was when hip hop was HIP HOP!!!!!!!! When you didn't have to search for real shit , it came and found you. It dont get much better than this, pisses all over that mainstream shit that passes for hip hop these days......

[MatlasX]

I had a mix tape that had this beat with Kool G. Rap flowing "Ill Street Blues" on top of it...

[graciavillamil]

I throw raps that attack like the Japs on Pearl Harbor...nice

[xxlennynz01xx]

oi skindiggiedog i agree, fuckin guillotine swords kicks ass

[accantiere]

wu tang 4ever so os espadachin chin

[accantiere]

destroyer,fuck new rappers

[SpaCeTravelin]

im so glad i was brought up in the 90's and got sucked into the world of great HipHop. although im only 21 if i was born 2 years later i think i would be wuna those skinny jean wearin mahfugguhz... thank u baby jesusss.

[big20fish]

@SpaCeTravelin Not completely true, I'm 17 and some of us are sane enough not to follow dumbass trends.

[gogoshiftyshifty]

@SpaCeTravelin what are you talking about, wiz kalephaaaaa has a message that hits harder than any odb track, that goes for lil wayne and m&m as well

[CatClemonsOfficial]

@gogoshiftyshifty Please tell me you're joking...?

-Cat

[Clownface125]

@gogoshiftyshifty shit.. Are you stupid son? Must be stupid kid

[slugger1983]

My favorite hip hop album of all time.

[hejafish]

My favourite track from Liquid Swords...Bought the album the day it was released! Sure it was released in the winter for a reason... a real cold and dark album. Rza's eerie production does it for me on this track... and yes..Gza's flow is insane!

[djamafia]

if you living in the world today, you see justin bieber's alleged baby

[walter4430]

REAL HIP HOP ALL RIGHT/ WELL O.K

[7057600798]

wu



[jalen4lif]

If you're living in the world today, you see tight pants on a gay

[b7r7u7c7e]

Dark, gritty, hard core. The Wu Tang Beats were known in the early 90's for there gloomy, moody bass and soulful horns. But Liquid Swords is hands down the darkest album from the Wu. If I had to chose it would be Liquid Sword and Cubin Lynx.

[Menz123451]

@b7r7u7c7e Also Ironman, Tical, Dirty Version.

[Skindoggiedog]

@b7r7u7c7e "If I had to chose it would be Liquid Sword and Cubin Lynx."

Fuck yeah, man. CLASSICS.

[goonerash]

..only raise your hands if your sure..

[moewishaw]

wu can i get a suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[Redboy1ism]

GZA -GZA -Genius. The God is on point and never raps with the I.Q of a third grader. This whole album is fire. Another Wu banger. Worthy of 5 mics , certainly.

[ramschamp]

978



[acte59]

un seul mot:tuerie.



[TheDgk11]

12th listing to this

[oTUSKo]

such a sick flow

[poo6599]

this styles mad murderous!



[GOTMYJR]

this shit hard



[drew73salas]

Like..if u know the lyrics by heart..

[simongl]

@drew73salas

What u know about MCing?

[KiNgGRAffiti94]

Rap celeb, you got caught up in the web

now bees are stingin, yo that niggaz MCing

I'm just swingin swords strictly based on keyboards

Unbalanced like elephants and ants on see-saws. enough said he is a GENIUS!

[TheVtwoodsman]

lookout for these fatal flyin spikes

[KushBerryBlue]

fuck best cover lent this to my mate in 2000 never seen it again

[KushBerryBlue]

shit got to be one of my favs lol

[MrMojorising222]

This song just cleaned out my brain.

[420MrMoJoRisin]

Thats a fuckin damaging flow

[gtonk852]

I cannot fathom why people say Lil Wayne is the best rapper alive when you have records like this. The lyrics and beats are precise, sensible, and flow like water. Contrast that to the stuff you hear today...doesn't hold a candle and no one seems to realize it.

[06164676]

@gtonk852 come on mate anyone who's opinion really matters knows the GZA shits all over lil whatever his name his.... I don't think I've even heard one of his songs before in all honesty :P

[youmakemehuppy]

@06164676 fuck u bitch suck my dirty dick

[06164676]

@youmakemehuppy haha keep your dirty thoughts to yourself you little goon

[gtonk852]

@06164676 try telling that to the up & coming generation. essentially, we're fucked.

[FuckYouImOnDrugs]

@06164676 then how do u know hes shit??? hahahaha

[06164676]

@FuckYouImOnDrugs because no one I know listens to him.... I don't have to man, I know his type.... And honestly I did look on youtube for a vid and it was a joke.

[FuckYouImOnDrugs]

@06164676 so?? since when is hiphop about listening to music based on wat u hear about them or their "type" i used to hate lil wayne to... not saying hes my favorite rapper now... but some of his older stuff is pretty good.... u just gotta have an open mind and not judge a rapper cus hes "mainstream"

[06164676]

@FuckYouImOnDrugs let's just call it a complete lack of faith in mainstream music.. I didn't even consider listening to him.. Fair enough I did judge him before I even heard him, but let's be honest here mainstream "rap" is generally shit.. not to say I judge music because it's mainstream, I judge it because it's shit.. No offense or nothing but you know what I'm saying, I would change my tune if I heard a tune of his I liked. Remember tho this started in a comparison GZA of which there is none

[Smoothini]

@06164676 AMEN..... and as a hardcore Wu fan there are a few Lil Wayne tracks that are very creative and get me excited about hip-hop again. But then again, they are far few inbetween. Although I know he's talented, he rather make money by putting out his voice on beats. Not even trying to MC anymore, just making money. Cause the little suburban kids that ACTUALLY pay for his CD's want to hear that.

[teknique10304]

is it possible to find the first instrumental part of this song?

[thehookla]

GZA is the GOD of Rhymes ask GOD and the gods wu tang clan!!!

[XCisor]

this was the first rap album i ever owned ... and it was my big bro's lol

[BKHipHopLuva718]

the father of liricism

[Ooof2321]

GZA's flow is insane on this track son!

[killAgram070]

i throw raps that attack like the japs on pearl harbor/mcees b out like bank robbaz!

[kishoregaus]

The second verse is my favorite verse in rap.

[gabbzcbc69]

remindz me of wen i first started to hussle bak in da dayz miss thoz dayz G

[Soob1993]

METH: Cash Rules the world

GZA: Well Cash Rules the spot

Wu-Tang Forever!!!

[cell2123]

livin in the world today aint much different from a cell

[digitaldeezy]

oooooooooh, CLASSIC!!



[shep12110]

beat is cold blooded... this is good shit

[etk1995]

What exactly is this song about or the meaning bc GZA's lyrics are deep.

What's it about in a nutshell?

[etk1995]

would u guys recommend buying this album? bc i'm considering it

[guitarexpert11]

@etk1995 didnt you ask that earlier on another video yeah buy it

[etk1995]

@guitarexpert11 Haha yeah i did ask that on many GZA Liquid Swords videos.

I just want many opinions.

I bought it BTW

[sidbullet1]

@etk1995

definitely, along with Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx

[etk1995]

@sidbullet1 Thanks. I got Liquid Swords a few days ago and I love it.

I'm also getting 36 Chambers and Only Built 4 Cuban Linx in a few days.

[rakimkoolgrapwutang]

@etk1995 lol u wer doin this sorta convos and comments on da shadowboxin video

[etk1995]

@rakimkoolgrapwutang Yeah lol I'm trying to get lots of opinions

[Dinos86Senior]

@etk1995

"One of the very best / Masterpiece".

36 chambers is a Masterpiece too.

Don't just buy it, share it, your friends have to know about Good music. Listening the Wu for people who wanna hear (REAL) hip hop is like listening to God himself preaching at Sunday for religious people. Expecially the '90s stuff.

[etk1995]

@Dinos86Senior Yeah I'm really getting into the old school stuff. It's so much better than the new school pop garbage on the radio. I'm getting Liquid Swords, 36 Chambers, and Only Built 4 Cuban Linx in the next few days.

[inhmn]

@etk1995 I can listen to the first two albums like...forever. For real !

[etk1995]

@inhmn Yeah I can't wait, I'm getting OB4CL and 36 Chambers today.

[MaxNkansah195]

@Dinos86Senior yu are too correct my friend:) ahahah

[cyreakarobbjewelz]

@Dinos86Senior

please believe it

the most ingenious takeover scheme in hip hop ever!

nobody has ever had the impact on a cult level like wu tang..

"my logo is branded in your skin"

no doubt the most talented, grittiest, insightful, and real collective of equally talented emcees in rap history!

[GemSh0t]

@Dinos86Senior exactly.... supporting is more than just purchasing

[sibbybx]

gotta smoke a fat blunt while i hear this shit krazy son!!!bx

[jsik69x]

2nd Verse= Goddayuuuummmmmmn!

[dudewhyfi]

I think it's interesting how GZA was amazing here, but he gestated for a while...he was in his late 20's when he got big, sorta like em...

[impyramental]

i forgot all about dis joint where gza and meth spit back to back real hip hop

[gupado]

Solid.

[Italblessings]

Liquid Swords was the soundtrack to my teenage years. Am blessed to have grown up with the Wu. Mentored me wise.

[gaboy247]

Im from GA and I remember I bought this tape while I was on spring break vacay in DC back in 96. Its crazy to think liquid swords,it was written,all eyez on me,reasonable doubt,ironman,hell on earth, ATLiens,ridin dirty etc all came out within the same year. Damn I miss hip hop

[VMessiah1]

@gaboy247 You basically painted the picture!

[KillaBeezOnnaSwarm]

@gaboy247 and don killuminati, the score, E 1999 Eternal, Muddy Waters, The Coming, the doggfather, and illadelphia halflife
