After that, I bought the ODB album which is a classic and I bought Ready to Die. The South was late on the WuTang and Biggie by the time people start feeling them I already had those CDs. I didn’t like the booty bounce crap that South did and I am extremely thankful for the Geto Boys and eventually OutKast: But it’s was the Chef that held it down until the rap world start respecting the South. Thanks for the memories.

This is def one of my fav albums and it was actually the first album that I got on CD (along with The Blueprint by Jay-Z). Amazing album and even tho I wasn't around in '95, this album is still somewhat nostalgic to me since I remember listening to it while riding my bike on the way to a summer job a few years back. Even this last summer I had it on heavy rotation. Idk why I always associated this album with the summer but yeah. I mean, it kinda makes sense if you look it from the perspective of OB4CL as the summer Wu album while Liquid Swords is the winter Wu album Great video as usual and I appreciate this "remaster" of your original video on this album

My favorite album of all time. Bought it in London when it dropped. Had heaven and hell on the fresh soundtrack then heard glaciers and criminology on Tim Westwood. Bought the tape then me and my cousin went to another store and I saw the CD had one extra song so I gave my cousin the tape and bought the CD on the spot. When I played it I could not believe how crazy it was. The beats and rhymes had me in a coma. Nas BODIED his feature too so hearing him was dope on there. Ice water was the song that shook my soul. The vocal loop fucked me up intensely. Rainy Dayz was a highlight too because of how operatic it was. I remember the review in HHC ended with them the album was so good it's scary. When I heard it I knew what they meant. Plus when I finally saw the movie the killer it made this album resonate even heavier seeing how rza based it around that movie. Thanks for this video. Really like the breakdown you gave this masterpiece.
