    Story behind the editing

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 11, 2002 | 1 out of 1 found this Legend of the Liquid Sword review helpful

    "The Real Story Behind the EditingI read this on Wutangdynasty.com that might explain what happened. I'm surprised MCA didn't directly explain on this page to the fans. Anyways, this album is bangin' so the two edited songs don't bother mSeems like p...eople found out that some of the tracks on the new GZA album Legend Of The Liquid Swords are edited. This is true; I contacted MCA and asked them to clear this up. Apparently a real explicit version doesn't exist. Here are the reasons:#1 - Originally GZA wanted the album to have NO parental sticker (see lyrics to Knock, Knock - "Slang kicker with NO parental sticker")#2 - While he didn't want the sticker he had to get a sticker at the last minute anyway because the lyrics to Luminal had to be stickered due to content (Serial killer violence)#3 - MCA only were delivered the edited versions of Fam (Members Only) & Rough Cut#4 - There are only 2 songs that are edited. Ghost is saying "*****es" in Silent and there were "*****s" throughout the stickered retail album. So not the whole album is edited....just confusing since there are 2 songs that are#5 - GZA NEVER said the word **** in Knock Knock. He edited himself by not saying the word when he did the hook#6 - The only songs with actual edits are Fam (Members Only) & Rough Cut and those were the only versions MCA had and notice only the guest artists cursed, never GZADon't try to search for the explicit versions of Fam & Rough Cut on the internet because they simply don't exist outside the studio reels."

    number 4

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 31, 2005

    Pros: Better lyrics than beneath surface

    Cons: Some songs aren't as dynamic as the previous albums

    Overall, this is a great album and although i place it as number four (last) for my favorite gza albums, that doesn't mean the album should be overlooked. Each of his albums are unique and every person will have their own preferences. I would giv...e this one a five star rating but in my opinion, a few songs weren't that good, unlike previous albums that contained one great song after another. Don't overlook this album, especially if you are a gza fan. Read more Less

    Buy this album NOW

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 8, 2003

    If you like the Wu clan, you should own this cd. It reminds me of enter the wu, but better. If you have amps & subs, you'll LOVE #4. Fame is the measure is lyrically unmatched. The song w/ Rza is really good. Knock Knock was on the Chappelle sho...w... as soon as I heard it I picked up the cd.Fantastic beats, background effects and lyrics. Spend the money. Read more Less

    Where's RZA?

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 23, 2003

    This album is aight! GZA stays on point lyric wise as usual, but some of these beats sound like they were sampled off other artist and GZA got a little watered down with his style! But this album is aight for a bad hip hop year due to commericalism...! Read more Less

    Wow! Another Great Gza LP

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 16, 2003

    Gza is showing the world that he is among the best MC's. Yes everyone..... another great wu tang album. Shoot, I thought (Beneath The Surface) was slick but this one is almost flawless. My favorite songs are "Auto Bio", "Knock, Knock", "Animal Planet..." and "Fame". 'Legend of The Liquid Sword' sounds like a real wu album from the classic (Enter The Wu era). I'm definately going to buy this album soon. This album is tightly produced to where you really don't have to skip a lot. Though every song on here isn't flawless, at least 9 or 10 track are sharp. I guess Wu solo albums are back. Read more Less

    HIP HOP IN IT'S PURIST FORM

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 13, 2002

    I f u like hip hop this is the album. The albulm has a total of 14 songs and one intro. Some track such as animal planet and auto-bio has a 70's feeling using curtis mayfield loops. The track with Deck is bannans. There are many different flavors on ...the album. "Did he say that" is the story of records exec. and nature of the business. I haven't heard come off likethis in awhile, you can sence anger and frustration in his voice when he talks about the ake MC's and the nature of hiphop; GZA is truely sharp and is the epitome of an MC. Great Album must buy for any hip hop head, this album doesnt have many curse words so u can buy it for your little brother. PEACE Divine Read more Less

    Explicit?

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 11, 2002

    This album is great. But my "Explicit" Version has edits on "Knock Knock" and "Fam". Does anyone else have this? Is it a mistake?
