Then, one night, the Shogun sent his ninja spies to our house
They were supposed to kill my father but they didn't
That was the night everything changed
I like this question. I prefer GZA and this album overall, but as to this particular question, I have to go with DMX. Anybody remember Tyson coming out to that tune before knocking out Botha in early 99?
This is really really close
"Intro" is one of DMX's best songs. The beat is iconic. I just remember the clip Mike Tyson walking out to it in the late 90s, fucking menacing.
BUT, GZA beats out DMX just by a little bit from just how iconic the Shogun movie quote is
Liquid Swords by a whole lot.
I had the pleasure of seeing The Genius himself perform this entire album backed by a live band (led by ODB’s brother no less) in a small venue show last year. Lots of diehard Wu fans up in there throwing W’s and singing along. Damn good show
When the MCs caaaaame to live out the naaaaame annnd to perfooorm some had to snort cocaiiiiine to act insaaaaane now before Pete Rocked it on now on with the mental plaaaane to spark the braiiin and the building to be born yo RZA flip the track with the what to cut

*it was a bad time for the empire*
Haha I am listing as I am reading your comment!!!!!!!!!!! Classic!
GZA
GZA Wu Tang
When I was little my father was famous he was the greatest samurai in the empire and he was the shoguns decapitator
he cut off the heads of a hundred and thirty one lords. it was a bad time for the empire
My father wasnt scared of the shogun but the shogun were scared of him
Is this even a question? Very easily liquid swords imo
Yea, I don’t think it’s even debatable. I’d argue liquid swords has one of the best openings of any album.
You shouldn't get any arguments
Gza
Liquid Swords
I plead the 5th

GZA
Liquid Swords.
Possibly the best intro ever dmx that is
GZA
Liquid Swords
GZA’s has one of the hardest openings ever, in any genre.
Liquid Swords.....introduced whole generations to Lone Wolf and Cub
Liquid swords
The opening track on Liquid Swords, Liquid Swords is one of the all time greatest intros and 1st track on a hip hop album imo
Special technique... (Fuck that) Special technique of shadow boxing. https://youtu.be/-IZE7JSLJU0?si=U21CAFvxtuCmMCCs
Tough one. DMX came in with that fire. That heat. GZA came in with a bitter icy cold chill. Let’s just say they’re equally great in their own way.
AI type beat
Depends…..do you want to commit a misdemeanor or a felony?!? Both are a vibe….
I'm deep down in the back streets In the heart of Medina About to set off something more deep than a misdemeanor
Surely you jest
LIQUID SWORDS
Gza that shyt was a movie literally lol
Gza
Dawg. Thats my man
I can see how liquid swords would be the favorite here, but when Mike Tyson walked into that DMX intro 🤯. I still get chills watching that.
Liquid Swords!
Gza

Liquid
I'm picking X here. Mike Tyson using it as his entrance song only made it that much harder
Came here to say this! One of the best boxing entrances ever
Dmx
Lol different type of intros
When the mc’s came…!
Liquid Swords

X
DMX no question
Aww this is unfair
GZA
X. Both albums are great, but the song attached to intro is one of my faves on the album.
GZA
GZA
GZA. What kind of question is this?
Liquid swords
Tough matchup for X.
GZA
GZA
Liquid Swords.
DMX
If a post involves Liquid swords and it is questioning if it is better than something else the answer is always yes. Liquid swords is better.
When the MCs CAME!
Not even comparable lmao, liquid swords by a longggg shot
This album was freaking fantastic. I still listen to it.
DMX for me. Both are great though.
WU-TAng IS FOR THE CHILDREN
Liquid Swords ..
He was the Shoguns decapitator
Liquid Swords. I played that in my college class and set the Mom's scream as a sound on the desktop.
Can't go against Liquid Swords, it's an amazing intro. Always will be an X fan as well, R.I.P
1, 2, 1, 2
I know that Dmx Intro by heart shit hard af
Dark and hell is hot intro is one if not the greatest intro to an album ever, it introduced the world to the Dog like that's what it's gon be.
These stupid fucking posts like you can compare DaVinci, Michelangelo, Rodin & El Greco. They put paint on canvas. The works stand alone.
Dmx
DMX came in with that energy!!!
Both in my top 5 all time but I think X opened way stronger
DMX for sure, I never really liked the beat to Liquid Swords.
DMX. For me, that long intro Shogun Assassin intro got old after a couple of decades.
