{"product_id":"genius-gza-liquid-swords-explicit-2-lp","title":"Genius \/ GZA - Liquid Swords (Explicit, 2 LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eLIQUID SWORDS contains two types of songs, all backed by the RZA's skillful production. On the one hand, Genius schools the Clan's followers through songs that address serious problems experienced in every day inner-city life. \"Cold World,\" which is backed by whirling wind sound, contains mini-stories that illustrate the misfortunes of gun-slinging in the hip-hop community. \"Investigative Reports\" goes even deeper in administering the blame, suggesting that drug-related crimes stem from a higher authority. On the other hand, there are the Clan's kung-fu metaphors, which show up on Genius' more Wu-styled songs. On \"Duel Of The Iron Mic,\" he's joined by a number of fellow Clansmen to reinstate the idea that no one can match them, despite numerous attempts to copy their image and concepts. Similarly, the production on songs like \"4th Chamber\" and \"Shadowboxin'\" closely relates them to ENTER THE 36 CHAMBERS, and helps make LIQUID SWORDS a complete Wu release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePersonnel includes: Genius\/GZA a.k.a.
