Wu-Tang Fans: Is GZA's "Liquid Swords" really a Wu-Tang album?

[bicentennial_baby]

I was just on the porch listening to it, and I was thinking that while GZA is the main MC, Wu-Tang members abound on every track. So, is it a GZA album, or in reality another Wu-Tang creation? (again and again!!)

:hi:

1. Wu-tang produced i think and a good album.

Legacy of Blood by Jedi mind tricks is another greeat album, "On the eve of war" is my favorite song off that one.

3. I haven't heard that one...

Thanks for the recommendation! :D

Quite good indeed, yes. :)

9. this is the only place i can actually talk about Wu-Tang, none of my

friends listen or know who they are, my friend Donna "You're 39, aren't you a little old for that kind of music"---Hell no!

10. Never....

besides, the Wu-tang Clan ain't nothing to fuck with! :bounce:

2. Wu-Tang rocks!

I wish they would get 'big' again.

They were doing some underground stiff and RZA was doing some movies but I want them to come back full blown.

4. Their last tour was fucking amazing.

They had everybody but Diana Ross on that damned stage.

8. Sadly, I've never seen them live (nt)

6. As do I!

But with Dirty gone, it's kinda sad...Still, it would be nice to see the RZA, the GZA, Method Man, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon the Chef, Mater Killah, Inspecta Deck and U-God. :)

5. Pretty much all Wu Tang Clan solo albums

are really Wu Tang albums executive produced by RZA featuring a specific member as the main MC. The only exceptions would ones that were done as group or duo projects like Method Man's work with Redman or RZA's work with the Gravediggaz.

7. good point

11. Either way, it's one of the best hip-hop albums ever.

[bicentennial_baby]

12. Damn striz-ait homie

I completely agree :thumbsup:

In fact, I got an iPod a few days ago, and so I rebought the cd so I could put it on there :D

[ghostsofgiants]

13. Nice.

Gza is probably my second favourite Wu-Tang emcee, just behind Ghostface.

Have you seen the Rock The Bells documentary? A friend of mine recommended it to me a few days ago, so I've been meaning to check it out.

[bicentennial_baby]

14. oooh, no, I haven't...

I will have to seek it out, thank you :pals:

And yes, I agree...I was just saying to Sniffa this evening how much I dig Ghostface :D

[ghostsofgiants]

15. My friend said it's really fucking good.

17. virtually all of the early solo albums of the wu members

were produced mostly if not exclusively by the rza (only one track on liquid swords was not done by the rza) and all featured the rest of the clan heavily...and while each one definitely falls into the wu-tang category both in personnel and in overall sound and style, both rza and whoever's name was on the album cover were always able to differentiate themselves from the rest of the group...only built 4 cuban linx, tical, liquid swords all have a similar sound to em but you can definitely tell that they belong to different people.

18. yes

yes it is

[Hissyspit]

19. Yeah, pretty much. Bruce Springsteen's "Tunnel of Love"

is not credited to the E Street Band, but pretty much everyone is on it, on one song or another.
