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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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
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 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾
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
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
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.
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..
That maybe one of *THEE* hardest lines i’ve ever heard: “ The significance was not the vulgar applause of interest; But the feeling that exit, completion of a sentence!” The reason why u didn’t applauses was not bcuz of a good performance but what transpired for words in action. P2TG *III* *iii* *III* *S i R P*
"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 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)
Beneath the surface was such a good album man i remember when this first came out, just rushing to get the cd to listen to it. and back then when new albums dropped it was like entering a whole new unknown world of music as we didn't have all the info on albums before they dropped like nowadays. you might get a single or two but often it was a musical journey
2021 I'm telling all you sukaz gza is the greatest not 1 of he izzzz better than nas tupac and big he can cook up anybody easy I'm not backing down from this statement
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

2024 and still going. all time classic
Facts
The GZA's lyrical mastery is nearly impossible to challenge
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.
Nearly...
The GZA's body of work isn't considerable to be challenged
Brainstorm Materia!
K rino would spank gza
I'm so glad I grew up during this era of hip hop and I still got all my cd collection!!
Still have my collection too!! 250+ CD of pure happiness
sadly my whole collection was lost when i scrapped my car =( Thankfully there is youtube!
not my generation but still grew up on this
mostdef best shit to grow up to
+fergizzo download wu tang discographyv the studio albums are like wow ace wu but new :)
I remember back when I used to spend all my money on CD's and realized I had 22 Wu-tang albums.
Good times.
Gza is in my top 5!!! He is so underrated!!
Easy top 5
"Those who parade their positions show their spades." This came out 20 years ago, and these bars still outshine most hip-hop albums.
'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.
All you here today is mumble this mumble that aye aye ayyyyeeeee an that's basically rap today trash ass shit
Exactly!!
Truth be spoken
Killed it you break the mirror that reminds you of your ugliness
This vid was an ode to Gza's dad, who happened to be a truck driver.
Thank you for the knowledge!
I didnt know that...my shit...
Thanks for jewel.
@steeltownbrown52 Word?
Thanks for that
this guy's vocabulary gives me goosebumps. he's the one of the few that the first words to pop in my head to describe is "artist"
FACTS!!
WORD!
FACTS 💯%
Lyrical Mastery !
Exactly!!!
"The truth is usually seen and barely heard. What's more dangerous than hatred is the word."
Virgin island rep stacey-plaskett just quoted this at the Capitol building!
This is true today. Crazy!
Gza the sole reason I got the W on my shoulder
I got a vw
GZA came to my college today to make a speech and he was so wise and smart lol I decided to check out and binge watch some of wu's old music videos.
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
Each One Teach One
hold on u didnt know gza wait did u ask him who he was one of the greatest
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.
Late arrivals welcome all boarding
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.
You nailed it. That's why Wu is for the children.
I'm so lucky to grow up listening to this kind of real hip hop.GZA is a genuis
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.
Same here I graduated in 2002 I remember when this song came out we used to love the song and the beat but didn't realize how Lyrica it was
"This is not a test... it's DIFFICULTY." Does anyone else understand how unbelievably sick that is?
Carl Woods FACTS!!
They dont call him the genius for nothing
Facts all day
@T P where the blind, deaf, and dumb would have difficulty on a test, everyone else who tries to compete with his MC skill has difficulty. 😀
Jupp
The name ring a bell, killable two syllable
The Wu is comin' through, the outcome is critical
And by golly was it ever critical
I love the 'mature wiseguy voice' of The Genius (GZA). One of the top WU MCs.
I'm going to time capsule this song so humans can see that GZA was still the best lyricist in history 5000 years later
4994 years left.
Man you can't be dumb and have the name the Genius as your rap alias! He truly is a damn smart dude lol. He is one of a kind, legend IMO.
FACTS!!!!
True, right on point!
I swear gza's delivery and lyrical content make you want to open a scientific book.
Gza is still ine if my fave lycirist
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!
Well said from someone who knows art when heard
When I heard the track Beneath the Surface my first thought was "Who produced this?". Check the liner and find out it was Inspecta Deck?!
Man this is when my pen changed forever, even my was squad was scared to step up after I heard this album.
Facts🎉
One of my all time favorite songs
This song = Perfection!
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
2019 still pure fire
Puts all of todays music to shame...any song that can make u uncontrollably head nod is fire lol
@@silent1121 Jason, please can you buy me a JustEat?? Am super hungry.
GZA is best among his peers.
A truly legendary mc with unparalleled lyricall prowess.
Summer of '99
the most skilled wu tang member
Debatable 🤷♂️
Yes he is
I concur
Undisputed
Sick azz beat,lyrically slays us with so much knowledge in that first verse
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.
I hear you! It ain't hard to see why he SHOULD be vigorously sought
RZA did a similar thing on Third World. When he says "Underwater flow strikes like torpedoes!" His voice is garbled as if he's saying it underwater.
@@lethalassassin1754 ahhhh. That’s what’s up 🙏🏿
@@philipkhatana4227 Hell yeah
How does this song only have 2m views? It's one of my all time favourites!
This is one of my favorite GZA songs. He killed it.
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
Definitely poetry. The immortality of my fame is the measure of others torture
Undeniably great, real hip hop
My favourite Wu tang Mç the Illest lyricst to ever rock the mic GZA Genius
Came back to this after so many years and it still holds up. They don't make 'em like they used to.
I remember the day I heard this classic!! Watching an And1 mixtape with the Legendary Alimoe (Black Widow) cookin dudes!! RIP Alimoe
Another dope cut from a dope album. This shit got me through grad school and ushered in the year 2000 in a mighty way!
"Praise the lord..thank you genius"..love it when mcs give it up 2 the most high.
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 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾
It's crazy how many "trucking" Playlist miss this one. Certified OTR music
Second verse was arguably the best hip hop verse in history. You gotta listen to it hard.
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 immortality of our fame is the measure of others torture, burnt offer from a flamin author.
Bryan H.
Can you pls explain these lines/bars for me...I try to understand it but it's too deep
Bryan H.
FACTS! He killed this!!
Bryan H. Awsome
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
I miss all these beats. I can't imagine life or Hip-Hip without the WU. RIP OLD DIRTY!!!
to check fault in one's self is pure loveliness you break the mirror that reminds you of your ugliness
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.
This was so good it makes me sad because it reminds me that hip hop now sucks.
its like the kids making shit now heard this but took it completely wrong ha
RomesThe59 i feel you but do better
That ain't hip hop that just a bunch of fakes in it for the money. This is real hip hop

Even still, nobody can touch this joint! They never could and they never will!!! 👑
I remember the gza got the source magazine's quotable of the month for that last verse. this is still a classic
Old but gold
The GZA dropped one of the greatest albums of all time in Liquid Swords. This was a nice follow up
One of the nicess mc all hands down
This is a man who can write real lyrics
I'm having a beautiful flashback...GZA!!!!
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..
When I play this tune in my Peterbilt 389 Flat Top, I feel like a Proper G.
I Became a Truck Driver cuz of this song
+warnutztheloser got a bunch of subs and amps hooked up too?? :D
Yep
+warnutztheloser Hoping someday that GZA calls you and starts rapping this song on the radio? ;)
Best keep your cb on 19, and your ears on
warnutztheloser ...Lolz!!!
Pure lyricism at the highest level. Peak GZA
best MC in Wu Tang nuff said!
ChopperRead I think inspectah deck would have something to say about that.
i think mef would have something to say about that.
Inspectha deck, Gza, Rza, & U-God are the best to me
Not one of y’all mentioned Tony Starks 🤦🏽♂️
Rza
Genius forever
Definition of an emcee
*If you enter the house of fortune through the gates of pleasure you will leave with sorrow & low measure*
*Genius* 👐🏾
Killed it I was 16 when this came out
Always loved the beat but Gza always reminds me why he is the king 👑
That maybe one of *THEE* hardest lines i’ve ever heard: “ The significance was not the vulgar applause of interest; But the feeling that exit, completion of a sentence!” The reason why u didn’t applauses was not bcuz of a good performance but what transpired for words in action. P2TG *III* *iii* *III* *S i R P*
"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

If gza isn't in your top 5 hip hop mc's you havn't got a clue
🎉

I gonna eat a cup of soup on this one
How can he be so fluentd and so smooth in his vocals?
He is really one of the greatest and a big win for the wu-tang family.
In My top 5 rap songs of the 90's. Still great.
this isnt from the 90s
You need to check your facts. Dropped in summer of 99. Or is 99 not part of the 90's?
kasperholme
Definitely dropped in '99
Gza's delivery of his art is so effortless but so whole🔥🔥🔥🔥
GZAs the fuckin man......long live the Wu Tang days. Love and respect from Pakistan
WUUU
+DZA The Dizastah Killah Beez!
no that's what kids in your country do, you try it and let me know how it works out for you

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
One of my all-time favorite.
This is the song that inspired me to get into music. Thank you sensei 🙏 and praise the Lord ☝️
If I was a truck driver this would be my theme song a timeless classic!!
Those who dislike this need new earholes cos this is the greatest hip-hop song ever made bar none.
Have you heard "Publicity" from this same album?
For real!! lmfao... 😂💀
I always liked just say he was one of my favorites
Love this old school song
