Once I was on the phone with a friend and we were having a heated argument regarding "Enter the Wu Tang". She was insistent that above everyone else, Method Man had the best chops as he was the *only* one who got a solo on that album. WACHOO TALKIN' BOUT WILLIS??? Is pretty much what I told her. I mean I could tell you the diatribe here, but I shall refrain. *Obviously* she was not in the know, like yours truly. In a nutshell, I gently reminded her that my boy, The Genius...aka GZA, also had a solo..."Clan in da Front" and he too had a lot of chops...all the critics agreed. Her comeback was, the GZA the RZA why doesn't he choose who to be?!?! NI*&A WHAT??? I merely said go listen to "Clan in da Front" and go rent Jim Jarmousch's "Coffee and Cigarettes". She hung up on me. The next day I got a message from her that said, you were right I should have known better than to argue with you BUT for the record RZA is hotter than GZA...(I totally disagree with that by the by). You knew she couldn't lose gracefully. Oh come on now...don't be a sour puss that story was funny and you know it! I love you and miss you more than you know! Shoot, you're probably not even reading my blog bitch!
So why the fuck did I tell you that story? Because tonight I get to see none other than GZA perform "Liquid Swords" in its entirety...HELLLLLLZZZZZZZZZ
YYYYYEEEAAAAAAHHHH!! Ok, so who doesn't know about Liquid Swords? Maybe a lot of you. Not everyone was a Wu Tang fan. I know I wasn't in love with everything they put out. However, if any one of you knew me when Enter the Wu Tang came out, you'll remember how I used to annoyingly get in your face and say "WELCOME TO THE 36 CHAMBAS!!!" C'mon, that's some fun shit to say! Soooo Liquid Swords was GZA's solo project released in 1995. Lyrically this was one of the best albums out at the time. RZA and 4th Disciple produced it. I like it A LOT! So for you a little nostalgia and the album Liquid Swords. Enjoy!

P.S.--Coffee and Cigarettes not one of Jarmusch's best...but check out this scene between GZA, RZA and Bill Murray.
