Title: The Genious
Product review: This cd is arguably the greatest solo effort from any of the 9 lyrical swordsmen in the Wu-Tang Clan. The entire cd is held together by samples from the classic Kung fu film "Shogun Assassin."When you first hear "When I was little, my father was famous, he was the greatest samurai in the empire..." you realize that this cd is special. GZA has an intelligent flow that perfectly complements this dark cd. "Liquid Swords" gets it started with the afforementioned sample, which leads into GZA's first verse of the album. "Duel of the Iron Mic" which mixes a dirty piano loop with a pulsing bass line, has some of the best GZA verses on wax. The standout tracks on the cd are "4th Chamber", "Shadowboxin'" and "Cold World" but every single song is just as good. (By the way, if you get a chance to see "Shogun Assassin" after listening to this cd, you will be able to recite the whole damn thing on your first viewing, like I did."Beats: 10/10Lyrics: 10/10Overall: 10/10
