First of all you agree?
And
To be honest I ain't know nothing beside Liquid Swords..
Can you drop some dope verses by him?

I agree, he's one of the GOAT "lyricists", which is different than a GOAT "rapper" or a GOAT "MC".
And yeah, besides Liquid Swords and the stuff he did on 36 Chambers and Wu Tang Forever I don't really bump his music but that Liquid Swords album is a masterpiece.
Having said that, back around 2002/03 I had a video show on the local community access channel. I used to play this video as it was new at the time
Breaker, Breaker - GZA

naaahh just my opinion

I respect it

Yeah, I don't even see how this can be argued unless you haven't listened to much Gza. He's not everyone's cup of tea as a overall MC, but he is a supreme lyricist. Remember when he went after 50?

This one below has a clever edge to it. See how long it takes to you to figure out the theme.

Yes and Grandmasters is an underrated album.
GZA's verse from "Put Your Hammer Down"
Yo; High ranked officials and armed tanks and missiles
Blood drizzle simple fact you slept on the issue
That before he started jerkin' off joysticks and Sega
I made tapes a hundred watt amps Cerwin Vegas
RZA fine tune it shipping mil units
MC's ask, who be those rhyme killers in masks?
No doubt difficult task to last in the square
Beware infinite amount of darts is in the air
I'm victorious no opponents and blast through components
And microphones watch the whole world live the moment
Anything anti that came approaching this
Incapable ? speech remains motionless -
GZA"s verse on "Street Corners (Remix)" is dope too. You can find it on Masta Killa's second solo album "Made in Brooklyn."
I catch a few flashbacks about, going through the struggle
How we used to make dollars, from all the snow we shoveled
In a broke neighborhood, where the kids often dream
About a lavish life, that is mostly seen in the screen
Where some dreams are quickly cut short, due to gang violence
From loud guns, that kept witnesses, in deep silence
Was it bad timing? Jealousy from too much shining?
Or a set up, from a girl that he wined, kept dining
It's a known fact, they will attack, cause it's like that
And depending on the, kind of impact, that strike back
In a town where the talk is cheap and, beef is brief
A mother sobs uncontrollably, and exhibit the grief
Large holes in the front door, of a housing tenement
Allows room to retaliate, so conflict is imminent
This hate in the brain, destroys the cells like cancer
Even experts are stuck with more questions than answers -

Only a goat lyricist can pull something like this off, a street/jungle analogy he paints a vivid picture of the streets using animals -

Being a better rapper than the competition. ? really ain't that hard. Some of ya'll don't pay attention to lyrics at all. -

If it's uncomplicated, how come you couldn't figure it out. I think I just give some supposed rap fans too much credit.
