With everybody arguing over who the best rapper alive is I'm steady perplexed why no one is mentioning The GZA. While I'm not necessarily proclaiming him the best mc of all time he did drop what I consider the best hip-hop album ever made..."Liquid Swords". If you've never heard this masterpiece of 90's hip-hop do yourself a favor and cop that shit on the pronto...you won't be disappointed. Unlike most hip-hop albums "Liquid Swords" is not only well executed, but possesses a cohesiveness rare to the genre. There honestly isn't one throw away track in the bunch. Even the skits (usually a source of great annoyance in rap albums) add to the theme rather than detract. The good folks over at Wax Poetics Magazine recently sat down with the GZA and chopped it up about this incredible album...peep it right here.
