A great read by my good friends at Wax Poetics Magazine. 1995's 'Liquid Swords' album by the GZA was perfect...period. And what old-school Kung-Fu head didn't appreciate all the great 'Shogun Assassin' samples that blessed the album? The GZA's track-by-track commentary in David Ma's piece gives us a greater understanding and appreciation for one of the album's that best defined 90s Rap.
Next year marks the 20th Anniversary of Liquid Swords and you can bet just as Shogun Assassin has remained a timeless cult classic, so will Liquid Swords. http://www.waxpoetics.com/features/articles/the-making-of-liquid-swords-gza?email=gza
