I'm sure most people don't know this, but one of the best MC's ever, the GZA/Genius, released a new album today. As a huge Wu fan, of course the first thing I have to do after getting out of work is to go pick up the album. I go to Best Buy since they usually have a large variety of music at decent prices (and that's where I bought the equally unpromoted and underapreciated RZA album back in June), but there was no GZA albums there, none. And I'm not just talking the new album, I'm talking no Liquid Swords, no Beneath the Surface, no Legend of the Liquid Swords, no GrandMasters, no nothing! How can you have a Hip Hop section and not have one GZA album in stock? It's not like they were sold out, there wasn't even a place for them! They had tons of G-Unit CD's misplaced in the rap section though(they need to put that garbage in the Pop section or in the dumbster where it belongs). I find it's only appropriate that I'm listening to the 50/G-Unit bashing track Paper Plate as I vent right now.

Five hundred Killa Beez, buzzing and really on it
Whipped with Cuban Linx and cut with Liquid Swords
Choked by Ironmen til we crush your vocal chords"Luckily I was able to find the new GZA album at Target of all places (and unlike Best Buy they actually had a couple of spots for it), glad to see it was practically all sold out too.
Half way through the album, and so far so good, not disappointed at all, but GZA never disappoints as far as I'm concerned.
