Editorial Product Review:Album Description:One of the most renowned and continually relevant Hip-Hop emcees of all time, GZA returns with his fifth solo album, Pro Tools. GZA is an original member of the legendary Wu-Tang Clan. GZA has established himself as a perennial force in Hip-Hop, having amassed sales of over 1.5 million units in his 13+ year solo career. GZA's contributions have driven the phenomenal success of the 2008 Wu-Tang Clan reunion album '8 Diagrams' as well as two of independent Hip Hop's flagship releases: 'Think Differently Music: Wu-Tang Meets The Indie ...
Editorial Product Review: :No Description AvailableNo Track Information AvailableMedia Type: CDArtist: GENIUS/GZATitle: LIQUID SWORDSStreet Release Date: 11/07/1995DomesticGenre: RAP/HIP HOP :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 ...
Editorial Product Review: :Bouncing back from the deplorably mediocre Beneath the Surface, GZA reasserts his position at the head of the Wu-Tang corpus. The most obvious improvement is in the production, masterminded by various Wu-Tang acolytes of RZA's dissonant funkalistics. Beats are kept simple--one- and two-bar loops sampled from across the musical spectrum--but despite their austerity, they're impressively efficient sonic packages that complement GZA's own powerfully compact lyrical style. The self-proclaimed 'ill rhyme kicker / with no parental sticker' rolls with almost nonstop braggadocio on the album, flashing his virtuosity with metaphorically inspired ...
Editorial Product Review: :While the Genius continues to slice through resistant mentals with his liquid sword rhyme schemes, his sophomore album is the first clear sign that Wu-Tang's pre-eminence may be waning. Without Bobby Digital working the track wizardry, Beneath the Surface is an odd amalgamation of RZA-wannabe tracks (courtesy of the Arabian Prince and Mathematics) that are starting to sound more and more like Swizz Beats every day. Gza's rhyme assaults still pack a wallop, but his album shows wear at the seams, bulging with impossibly high ambitions and uneven execution. Songs ...

Editorial Product Review:Album Description:2007 collection from the Wu-Tang man that shares the same concept as Liquid Swords as far as the track listing is concerned: the back cover is like a story instead of a regular track listing. Apart from the collection of classic songs GZA has given the fans throughout the years, there's also some new material. Besides the song 'Killa Hills 2004' performed by GZA's son Justice, there are also five more exclusive songs including one song like you never heard GZA before. The beat for the intro was done ...
Editorial Product Review: :When the Wu-Tang Clan came out of the gate in late 1993, they brought with them a new style, a style that literally changed the rap game just as Dr. Dre had done a year earlier. But even though it seemed like the Wu came from nowhere, they actually had a rather modest beginning. “Words From the Genius” is that beginning. Originally released in 1991 on the mighty Cold Chillin’ label, the album features the Genius, and to a lesser degree RZA (here known as Prince Rakeem). When you ...
