Editorial Reviews
From Amazon.com
Some Wu members, like Cappadonna, are overly concerned with the way they dress, while others are a plain ol' inebriated mess (read: Ol' Dirty Bastard). For the GZA, it's all about the lyrics. With his nasal delivery and rapid-fire flow, he is the most experienced and oldest member of the Wu Tang Clan (he released a pre-Wu LP on Cold Chillin' Records entitled Words from the Genius in 1991). GZA's forte is battle rhymes (on his self-titled cut he declares that wack MCs' "lyrics are weak, like clock radio speakers"). On "Labels" he eloquently pens a complete song using only rap record label names. Loaded wordplay aside, beat-wise Liquid Swords is fully and exceptionally RZA-produced (peep the electric guitars and spacey synths on "Investigative Reports"). Liquid Swords is a perfect purchase for rap fiends who crave ill experimental beats and even iller punchlines. --Dalton Higgins
Chronique amazon.fr
Gary Grice, alias Genius/GZA, a la particularité d'être le seul membre du Wu- Tang Clan à avoir sorti un album du temps de sa première vie artistique, Words From The Genius en 1991. Il fut également le premier des neuf rappeurs du Clan à s'allier en 1993 au producteur concepteur RZA dans le but de mener à bien l'opération Shaolin (bien que Liquid Swords ne soit apparu qu'après les débuts en solo de Method Man, Ol' Dirty Bastard et Raekwon The Chef). La production signée RZA est toujours reconnaissable à son empreinte psychédélico-foutraque inspirée des films de kung-fu made in Hong Kong. Et la plupart des acolytes de la secte Wu sont évidemment présents. A noter l'exercice de style "Labels" sur lequel GZA pourfend les maisons de disques qui n'ont commencé à croire en ses (leurs) chances qu'une fois le buzz bien installé. --José Guerreiro
