Liquid swords underrated as fuck.

I have a lot of respect for ready to die, but there are so many skippable songs for me nowadays, I feel like it didn't age well. Illmatic has no wasted space, and still sounds fresh to me 20 years later. That's my take, at least.

What songs do you skip on Ready to Die?

The sex skits (why do there have to be two?) are obnoxious, but I love every song.

The original is way better. The difference is even more extreme than "I'm Not a Player" vs. "Still Not a Player"

illmatic wins everytime. i do not have an analytical rationale because there is no word to symbolize the feeling of hearing "one time 4 your mind" for the first time.

Certain · 04-24-2014, 06:06 PM

Also, is Liquid Swords really underrated?

Edit: I can't believe Digital Dream Door (a decent music lists site, at least for rock and pop) left it off their 100 greatest rap albums list. But if you're going to put Illmatic 10th and Ready to Die 14th (below No. 13 All Hail the Queen), then you're not too credible in rap.

Liquid Swords is vastly overrated imo

the first six Wu Tang CDs were

Wu Tang Clan - Enter the 36 Chambers
Method Man - Tical
Ol Dirty Bastard - Return to the 36 Chambers
Gza - Liquid Swords
Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx
Ghostface - Iron Man

Liquid Swords is my least favorite of that group

mainly because I dont care for Gza. He peaked before Enter the 36 Chambers was released imo. minus the title track and incredible art work that CD is a tad boring for me.
