GZA - Hell's Wind Staff (1995)

these beats still seem so unique, i'm guessing at the time nobody outside the wu tang tried making beats like this in case of being thrown down a stairwell

That was always my favourite, too. Definitely prefer OB4CL (prefer both Rae and Ghost to GZA as a rapper for one thing and OB4CL has better production i reckon), but Liquid Swords is really great too.

I'm listening to B.I.B.L.E. with tears in my eyes thinking about craner

Something really sad about a lot of Wu-Tang beats for me. Very cold, lonely pieces of music, even something more bombastic like Heaterz off Wu-Tang Forever has this bittersweetness to it.

Always felt Cuban Linx was the summer album, Liquid Swords the winter one, and recently read RZA talking about them and saying as much. Nice to hear it from the source. Sun's out again today, so OB4CL it is. That red and golden cover.

It's manifested, the gods work like appliances

Poisonous paragraphs smash your phonograph in half
It be the Inspectah Deck on the warpath
First class, leavin' mics with a cast
Causin' ruckus like the aftermath when guns blast
Run fast, here comes the verbal assaulter
Rhymes runnin' wild like a child in a walker
I scored from the inner slums abroad
And my thoughts are razor sharp, I slice the mic from the cord
First to criticize, but now they have become
Mentally paralyzed with hits that I devise
Now I testify, the best is I
Rebel INS, Your Highness, blessed to electrify
With voltage of a eel, truth that I reveal
Will crush the amateurs who scream they keep it real
Caesar black down, hoodied up in fatigues
Part time minor leagues receive third degrees
Attack like a wolf pack once I pull back
The God-U and bust through like a fullback

These things are always so long, dunno if I can watch four hours of Nore and EFN yelling over him and kissing his ass. They do have their moments, but I've never managed a full episode.
