Genius / GZA – Liquid Swords

Colleen: This is the second album that got me into sampling. The first time I heard »Liquid Swords«’ title song, I was stopped in my tracks by this relentless chord sample and the ultra-charged atmosphere it created, moving forward like an unstoppable machine. If Canaxis showed me the “expansive” side of sampling, this particular school of hip hop showed me how a short sample could be turned into a razor-sharp tool.
