The tracks Labels, Fame, and Publicity alone put him ahead of 95% of rappers. With the rest of his catalogue, he’s at 99.999%. There aren’t many that can hang with GZA. Kinda crazy to think homie is pushing 60 years old.
'Cleary brillance' If it was one true depth soldier of signature pure aristocratic defiance & expertise it most certainly was GZA, we all could learn from him. Homeschool should've been a preceptor.

"surrounded by the loss" im very sure "shortage on rhimes" im pretty sure "stay alert" not 'i stay alert' im pretty sure "flight staff" im pretty sure "the beat was cooked up" im very sure "You see the bright stone, I got your height sewn" i think this must be something else "Learned that recordin' it, so my mind broaden it" i thought he said 'coordinate' but nah i was tripping. hahahaha thx for the lyrics!
Incredible song. GZA always amazes me with his complex yet blunt delivery. His bars are always very detailed and clear. WU were always very complex but at the same time very progressive and artsy.
This whole album low-key knocks, it's so bass heavy! Peoples tend to get lost in the "it's not"Liquid Swords" and compare the two! Put all that shit aside and just listen or you're missing out!
That's a smart move. I can see, you learned from his Wisdom. That's exactly what He wants. Big Up to Tha Geniuz and also you, for sharing this little anecdote. pz
He's really wise and very well spoken. Checkout the interview he did with Neil deGrasse Tyson he talks about how he rhymes and what he uses as motivation.
Never knew how lyrical this song was when I was a teen. I miss when lyricists from the late 90's went over your head and it takes you like a whole school year to figure it out.
Same...I knew it was good, but I didn't realize how good. Pretty amazing this was once mainstream. I can't lie tho, I was so caught up in the gangster rap era. It's just what I wanted to hear at the time.
Pecked Epps the first bar is referencing those who hate to see you succeed. More fame=more haters. The second bar "burnt offer from a flaming author" I'm not sure but gza does spit hot fire so there's that lol
The immortality of our fame is measured of others torture= music is forever hence immortality...measure of others torture= descendant of a slavery Burnt offer (the hot track/song) from this flaming author (from a hot emcee) It's that simple
This video made me respect the skills of truck drivers.. Gza also made it cool in the hood to rock a cowboy hat, chew stick and just do your own thing within the spirit of hip hop
Wu Tang is not just spiritual and knowledgable but gangsta as fuck as well!! Many elements and Gza contributes his formula within the whole fuckin clan!! Wu Tang Forever!!!!!!!!!
I know what you were referencing to, numb-nuts - I just didn't need to certify your post or worry about some (now old) news report. Go troll elsewhere or get back to work (assuming you even have a job)
Lost souls who fail to hear the rolls of the drums in the bottom of ur bomb shelter still felt the heavy blast that blew off the mask of 12 welder, the math of a elder praise the lord thank u genius, operation project England.........poetry at its finest.....thank god fo wu tang
A lot of the men related to me were truck drivers & all l could think about were their safety on the road. GZA brought heart & a good feeling on the road for them. Breaker, Breaker broke the sound barrier!!!! CellaMadea
"The immoraltity of my fame is the measure of other's torture burt offer, from a flaming author The falconer flies enough birds for the chase stricly excel in what is excellence with grace The significance was not the vulgar applause at entrance but the feeling at exit, completion of a sentence With age and experience my reason ripens I strike on you vikings, slash like a hyphen"-GZA
I tell you this should go down as one of the BEST hip hop hooks in history. I think it's SO creative that GZA does the hook as he's talking through a cb radio with the static and all. I don't think I've ever heard a hip hop song do that, real talk.
This one song disintegrates everything that I've heard throughout the whole entire 2021 .This is that real Hip Hop I've been starving for. Tis man GZA moves different. he don't need no jewelry on him or nothin he. he Hypnotize you with his style. who been waitin for GZA to spit dat fire in 2021 》 2031 put you hands up like this 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾
This is just eargasm for me .this is one of those .. when i close my eyes and just enjoin the lyrical flow with the great instrumental . respect JIZAH..
Favorite part: To be blunt, the beat was cooked up like coke goods The rhyme first came to me in the oak woods Up to no good, rap icon Milk the industry like the Wall Street junk bond
GZA is talented like not other. His lyrics, flow, delivery is superb. Video and production all hit on this one. I'd bet there's a million truck drivers who never heard this.
