Facts

[@curtarmmar]

The GZA's lyrical mastery is nearly impossible to challenge

[@Brocuzgodlocdunfamdogson]

The tracks Labels, Fame, and Publicity alone put him ahead of 95% of rappers. With the rest of his catalogue, he’s at 99.999%. There aren’t many that can hang with GZA. Kinda crazy to think homie is pushing 60 years old.

[@markgillan3750]

Nearly...

[@a.k.a.theruggedmanchild9685]

The GZA's body of work isn't considerable to be challenged

Incredible song. GZA always amazes me with his complex yet blunt delivery. His bars are always very detailed and clear. WU were always very complex but at the same time very progressive and artsy.

[@thestreets-fm8ti]

You nailed it. That's why Wu is for the children.

[@RobertoGinsburg]

I love the 'mature wiseguy voice' of The Genius (GZA). One of the top WU MCs.

[@SKARAMANGA1]

Well said from someone who knows art when heard

[@wakazuzu]

When I heard the track Beneath the Surface my first thought was "Who produced this?". Check the liner and find out it was Inspecta Deck?!

[@r0ckinADbaby]

GZA came to my college today to make a speech and he was so wise and smart lol I decided to check out and binge watch some of wu's old music videos.

[@nosthaplacedatinedopeasusu7130]

That's a smart move. I can see, you learned from his Wisdom. That's exactly what He wants. Big Up to Tha Geniuz and also you, for sharing this little anecdote. pz

[@joshuawalker8585]

He's really wise and very well spoken. Checkout the interview he did with Neil deGrasse Tyson he talks about how he rhymes and what he uses as motivation.

I'm going to time capsule this song so humans can see that GZA was still the best lyricist in history 5000 years later

4994 years left.

[@simeonkanis9449]

GZA is best among his peers. A truly legendary mc with unparalleled lyricall prowess.

[@bulldoggmailcom]

Never knew how lyrical this song was when I was a teen. I miss when lyricists from the late 90's went over your head and it takes you like a whole school year to figure it out.

[@thegamingchef3304]

Same...I knew it was good, but I didn't realize how good. Pretty amazing this was once mainstream. I can't lie tho, I was so caught up in the gangster rap era. It's just what I wanted to hear at the time.

Same here I graduated in 2002 I remember when this song came out we used to love the song and the beat but didn't realize how Lyrica it was

[@omegahtv6779]

I tell you this should go down as one of the BEST hip hop hooks in history. I think it's SO creative that GZA does the hook as he's talking through a cb radio with the static and all. I don't think I've ever heard a hip hop song do that, real talk.

[@philipkhatana4227]

I hear you! It ain't hard to see why he SHOULD be vigorously sought

[@lethalassassin1754]
