i broke out Liquid Swords out of the cd case this week. Still my favorite Wu cd followed quickly by Raekwons's first offering. shtein is making me feel old realizing when it came out.

i never got on liquid swords like most people...the first five songs are off the charts...but the rest is just ok (when compared to wu standards)...the beats are not near soulful as on the other records...to much loud squeals and guitar

dont get me wrong its still a certified classic but i dont think its near the level of cuban links iron man or 36 chambers

I got Liquid Swords about a week before i got Cuban Links. 36 Chambers is officially a Comp, and i cant put it in the same 1st round of Wu Individual CD's. Liquid Swords reminds me of just riding around on blunt rides whether it be the back roads in Pa/De or down driving on the beach sparking up before going into OC

That said, Liquid Swords wasnt as solid all the way thru as Cuban Links, but it always holds a special part in my eardrums. Sounded great with two 12in Kicker Solos, and Kicker Revolution 6's and tweeters

great call...that song is so underrated not just in wu circles but in hip hop

as is this...arguably the best wu song ever

I always loved the Orig Rainy Days, i never heard this remix. Laid back like Biggy was mixing it.

I'll never forget my buddy buying Iron man, i got Cuban Links right after that, and then Liquid swords. Its like i found god in music form. Wu was off the charts.

thats weird cause they came out like a year apart and cuban links was first

cuban links came out in august cause i remember me and a bunch of my boys got it and then road tripped up to upstate ny in the mountains and listened to it all week gettin blunted and pounding mickeys on a lake

rap will never be the same no matter what munson says

Seabiscuit36 · May 31, 2009, 02:00:37 AM

weed time man, my memories are still fuzzy

I think they came out 11 months apart or somewhere around there.

ice grillin you · June 01, 2009, 08:21:13 AM
