Liquid Swords Appreciation Thread
I'd think I'd go as far as saying this was my favorite Wu solo. Raekwon's is up there, but there's too many interludes for me. The interludes on gza's shit are all the classic kung fu stuff. As an emcee he struggles to make okay beats dope songs, but he really does his thing over dope tracks. Wu appearances are all dope. Plus B.I.B.L.E's a pretty hot song which introduced Killah Priest.

acouple weeks ago i had the pleasure of smoking out of a friend of a friend's huge ass glass bong...and low and behold he put "liquid swords" on as the accompanying music.
can't surpass "only built 4 cuban linx", but that's just saying a whole lot about "OB4CL".
wu-tang forever...and ever and ever
liquid swizzles=in my top 15
cube linx=top 5

I don't think there's a single beat on here that could ever be called "weak"
and i'd say it's far better album that the occasionally patchy "iron man"
although "iron man" is a great album with some of the best ever Wu tracks
- "daytona 500", "camay", "iron maiden" and "all i got is you" -
it was a disappointment after "ob4cl" and "liquid swords".
Only complaint i have about "liquid swords"
is "b.i.b.l.e"
i always hated that track
it didn't even deserve to be the bonus track
Killah Priest is terrible.

Yeah, B.I.B.L.E. was my friends favorite track off of the album and I always thought it was one of the worst.I Drive A Lexus wrote:I don't think there's a single beat on here that could ever be called "weak"

This album is the perfect winter album. Front to back banger.

When I said he struggles to make okay beats good I was referring to his other songs i.e. his shit on beneat the surface and legend of the liquid sword. As far as Liquid Swords, all the beats are on point. But like some of the shit on beneat the surface and legend of the liquid swords was ehhh because he's not the type of emcee who can make a blah beat listenable...thats all I was trying to get at
B.I.B.L.E. is one of the best songs ever made, you guys are crazy. solid album all the way through, and that was a great way to end it. what the hell don't you like about this track?

I agree, I liked B.I.B.L.E. a lot, I mean it's a lot better than anything else Killah Priest has done IMO...some may argue it kind of takes away from the album since Gza's not even on it, but I still think it's a dope track and doesn't take away from the sequencing at all...
As far as Ironman, that's pretty hit or miss for me, it's got some big high's, but in terms of solo albums I'd probably put Supreme Clientele in front of it (hopefully this isn't too controversial of a comment)

I liked it at first, but to me it's the most generic sounding song on the album, therefore the most boring, therefore my least favorite.wuk wrote:B.I.B.L.E. is one of the best songs ever made, you guys are crazy. solid album all the way through, and that was a great way to end it. what the hell don't you like about this track?

The most generic sounding. It's a track that could have been left off, is all I'm saying. It's nothing special, and it probably would have been one of the better songs off of Beneath The Surface, but it just didn't fit right for Liquid Swords.Bring Back The Tempo wrote:I understand one not liking it, but how is it generic?Cleanhobo wrote:I liked it at first, but to me it's the most generic sounding song on the album, therefore the most boring, therefore my least favorite.wuk wrote:B.I.B.L.E. is one of the best songs ever made, you guys are crazy. solid album all the way through, and that was a great way to end it. what the hell don't you like about this track?
