My comments ain't for quick alignment, it's for full adjustment

Top 3 as of rn: brothers keeper, pray, sins of the father
Hard to pick favorites with this though, a new story every track

Finally!

only told truth, they gave loops with no fruits
they deeds diseased the seeds, i produce produce
was dropped in gotham, had to blossom and grow roots !

I still don't know if he meant it as a double word meme and if he did: lol

Y'all played the dozens, my favorite cousins spent they youth in prisons
They names known, came home, now the house got two religions
Peace be with you, wa alaikum salaam
Make sure that piece be with you, laced in your palm
No one here's linear, danger 'round every bend
On a path for power, when half a dollar was hated by many men

One of the best parts of the album

Was never gassed, you could ask, I’m a solid dude

Bro it’s impossible to choose every song goes

this album proves its easy to come up with fire lines, its just how you flip em

Here to blast, any day could be your last, that was probable
They shot the guns, lot of sons never returned as prodigal
For what I anoint in my cup, it runneth over
This drive that kept me alive is my cunning motor
End of month, cops tend to front when they under quota
Where it's hard to walk that straight line drunk or sober

I got Every Now and Then, Old Justice, and Solitude of Enoch. HM to Brothers Keeper

That’s his bag. He’s like a master novelist who doesn’t need to use big words or heady ideas to make great art: just high stakes, context, and creativity

Grandmasters is very good and easily overlooked when people discuss GZA. Glad to see it mentioned.

Also like the og of the Muggs collab series.

its a rare mention but I don't really wanna front and say its some forgotten gem. not to say its bad but definitely didn't catch me those times I tried to listen to it

“I came to house the game, y’all free to rent rooms” has never been more true. Man’s been on the run quietly making classics for 8 years while a lot of these rappers come and go

Thats fair. Everyone's different. Its very well reviewed at least so im not saying its underrated or anything

not one of my favorites, ngl. this and 'called my friends money lost em by hundreds'. then again, how he ties hundreds here to 'I wanted hundreds' later in the track is interesting. I def miss a lot of interconnections throughout each track

I got one for heeella underrated. Masta Killa's No Said Date is nice as f*** for a solo wu project from 2004. superb track with ghost and rae too, one of my favorite performances from em. check it out, the sample will be familiar most likely

I feel you. It’s not his most clever but it’s just cool Asf the way he said it. I prefer the line in Orpheus, “I’m relevant global, my element’s noble, they just heavy gas”

Peace Akai could’ve easily fit in this album. That dark, gritty slow flow

Make an album using one song from every project starting at GP:

1. Collage
2. You Know It’s About
3. Day 93
4. Fall of the Bronze
5. Ours
6. Oedipus
7. Sins of the Father

Summer
Nothing Is
Day 1125
Years
I Wish (Death Poem)
Atlas
Old Justice

And f*** it I want Hood in there to kick off the album cause that s*** goes. This whole album is flames. Consistent vibe and all.

Holds up. Ima run up the album

Need to check it out
