I think your the only one that actually listens to GZA...and its okay, thats cool since its your blog. I personally thing GZA sucks...and he sucks incredibly...been that way since he dropped Liquid Swords. lol
ReplyDeleteYou think GZA's one of the greatest lyricists of all time? What has he said that qualifies him of that title? All he raps about is having some swords and being some sort of ninja...niggas in the hood dont play that...they'll murk him and keep that shit on the low cuz some niggas heard of him.
ReplyDeleteAsk every respectable hip hop critic, and they'll all tell you that the GZA is one of the illest lyricists in the game. Hands down.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious as to what you listen to "in the hood"...
These "hood nigga" dipshits wouldn't know good hip hop if it slaps them in the face.
ReplyDelete"in the hood"
ReplyDeleteahahaha! man one day our people will stop embracing ignorance.
but gza is hot! it's real music with a heart and a soul it's not that corporate crap that means nothing.
^ The hood has spoken!
ReplyDeleteLOL...
so who won?
ReplyDeleteand for "Anonymous", i think we all know why you remained anonymous because you know GZA destroys all that BS you listen to "in the hood"
Name one GZA track where he spits some real shit on? Dude is whack. I'm from Chicago, nobody over here listen to GZA...GFK is cool, Meth is cool, Raekwon is cool...but GZA?!?!? That nigga is whack and people feel me on that.
ReplyDeleteGet off his nuts.
Oh, so you like GFK, MEF and RAE? Okay... Ask THEM what they think about GZA.
ReplyDeleteCase closed.
I talked to them the other day....they said they aint like him and him and RZA were the reason Wu broke up.
