listen, if you are trying to enjoy this album and you are not in your 30's, then forget about it. if you did not cop this album in 1991, forget about it. you will not understand. i read some clown say the beats are old, the music is not this it is not that.......but for east coast 1991, the music was what it was.

5.0 out of 5 stars Genius rips it up, June 15, 2000

I had to buy this CD when I first heard of it because I loved Liquid Swords and enjoyed Beneath the Surface. This CD is not like his others though and has an old school approach with straight hip-hop.

At first I didn't like the CD and found the beats annoying, but it slowly grew on me. I immediately liked Pass the Bone, which has a guest appearance by the RZA (Prince Rakeem then). This is a great CD though and gives a little change of pace from his other CDs. Life of a Drug Dealer, The Genius is Slammin and Living Foul are also great tracks. For some GZA that's a little different, order this!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tha Genius is Slammin.., April 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Words From the Genius (Audio CD)

This album is hip-hop. Its not Wu-Tang Clan or anything it is pure hip-hop in full effect. The Genius brings phat tracks and beats. If only this had been a successful CD it would be nationally know but Gza's AnRs and Promotion peoples didn't promote the album very well. The cuts on this album makes the Genius' name pretty self-explanatory. If your into "Wu-Tang Forever" or comercial 'rap' music, you won't like this. If you like hip-hop old school and new you will love this album. This is one hot L.P.
