ur getting all mixed up. im pretty sure i remember that interview. rza said that gza was the first person to do a song where something is something else. it can be taken two ways. he said that all started with labels and influenced nas to make i gave u power (this is actually wrong though mc shan did the first allegory with this song )

rza then talked about how nas was the first guy to write a story as a letter. and that this influenced 'stan'.

I remember that interview with Allhiphop I think. He said this actually in more interviews, he always mentions Labels when he's talking about GZA. Nas was superior to MC Crackhead but he was influenced by it for sure.

"Killah Hills" might have my favorite line: "...even underwent surgery / they said his pirate limp gave him away / as the Feds rushed 'em comin' through US Customs"

or.. "He set bombs in bottles of champagne / so when niggas popped the corks, niggas lost half their brains"

OR.. "cemetery's packed / of niggas who think 'it ain't like that'" makes me laugh


if you want to talk about best GZA verse, I'd have to exclude all of Liquid Swords and look only at guest appearances. "Silverbacks" is an incredible verse.

Also his verses on "Dashing" and "Back In The Game"

Those 2 are some of his best. So damn clever.

I never paid much attention to that one. It's incredible how he keeps mentioning things about DICE in a different way and is witty with it. If he's talking about dice you know there's going to be a double entendre there.
