	GZA/Genius - Biography - AOL Music
		The Genius, aka the GZA, was the most cerebral MC in the Wu-Tang Clan, as well as perhaps the most acclaimed.
		But among hip-hop aficionados, the Genius was revered for his flawless technique and lyrical dexterity, and was considered by many to be the best pure rapper in the entire Clan.
		The Genius was born Gary Grice on August 22, 1966, in Staten Island, NY, and shuttled between several other New York boroughs with various relatives during his childhood.

	Genius/GZA: Liquid Swords ---Ink Blot Magazine
		While the RZA serves as the de-facto leader of the group, producing nearly every Wu-Tang venture and overseeing much of their business operations, the GZA is an educator and mentor to all members of the group.
		A Staten Island native who was struck with the poetry buzz in his early teens, the Genius was a hip hop nomad of sorts in the late '80s, travelling to NYC's various boroughs to scope the styles coming out of each.
		The Genius, the most skilled rapper of all of the Wu-Tang members and as gifted a lyricist as there is, wastes no words, syllables or inflections in his attempt drop his own science.

	GENIUS INSIGHT
		According to Paul Jenkins, a partner at Genius Insight, Jennifer Aniston is emerging unscathed from the excitement, at least in terms of her popularity: she has even gained a few fans, with 30% saying they like her a lot, against 28% previously.
		Perhaps unpredictably, it is both males and females who have propelled Angelina Jolie to her new rankings; and females are more forgiving of Brad Pitt than males are: he ranked 10th with females in the Spring and 11th in the most recent report.
		The above figures are from the Genius Insight StarPower Fall 2005 (covering the six months to October 1, 2005) and the StarPower Spring 2005 report (covering the six months to April 1, 2005) and the Spring 2005 report.

		GZA, also known as The Genius and a lyrical legend by hip hop heads was going strong and proving that he was Wu-Tang Clan’s most consistent member.
		GZA brags about himself and talks about fake rappers, but is disrupted by random annoying sounds and voices which nobody in their right mind can appreciate.
		The Genius as well as Raekwon rap well to my chagrin, while Sen Dog simply speaks Spanish in the background during the chorus.

		Is Tupac a musical genius for the ways his rhymes flowed together and the message he gave.
		Yet at the same time he was a very unlikeable and confrontational person and his death while sad, he brought it on himself.

		That was enough to propel the Concord/Hear Music release to its highest chart position; it entered the chart at No. 2 on its release last September.
		It becomes the late Genius' first album to hit the chart peak since "Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music" in 1961.

		In fact, the three of them first teamed up in the early 80s as part of an obscure group called All in Together Now.Time passed, and the Genius landed a recording contract with Cold Chillin, which, unfortunately, was nearing the end of its brilliant run.
		Like those two rappers, the Genius merged bravado with the darkside of street life and delivered his street-smart rhymes with muscle.
		The Genius unfortunately sounds kind of flat here; not just because youve come to know him as GZA, the most insightful and lyrically dexterous member of the Wu, but mostly because he hasnt yet honed those qualities, instead emulating his Cold Chillin peers.

	Higher Ground: South Burlington, Vermont
		As is the case with many classic recordings that labels allow to slip through the cracks, J-Live's fans found their own means of getting their hands on the never officially released album.
		It's likely that the word of mouth, fan-to-fan distribution of The Best Part actually added to the young rapper's popularity.
		Their debut on wax came in 1999 on the CP Records compilation "Persecution of Hip Hop" on which Vast Aire delivered the song "Adversity Strikes" which many have declared a 'classic' and as a result has appeared on countless mix-tapes over the past 2 years.

		Genius, a rapper in the Wu Tang Clan, is one of numerous hip hop adherents of the Five Percent Nation whose beliefs are often reflected in his lyrics.
		One of the first rap cuts with a clearly Islamic message was Eric B and Rakim's 'Move the Crowd.' In the video, Rakim is on a stage speaking to what looks like a congregation.
		I was actually a Five Percenter for a couple of months. Some rappers are actually looking for a better way to live.

		A mandatory purchase, and if all MCs had the progression of skill that the Genius does, hip hop would be better for it.
		I love his style, he is a lyrical genius, maybe not to the level of Canibus but still one of the best.
		One more album of this nature by Gza and he will be in my opinion the second best lyrical rapper of all time behind Canibus.

	The New Yorker : critics : music
		The vocals are from Jay-Z’s “The Black Album,” and the musical bed is a highly processed and reorganized version of the Beatles’ “White Album.” Occasionally compelling, “The Grey Album” is not a great example of a mashup, because the musical bed is processed so radically that its source is sometimes not clear.
		One of the thrills of the mashup is identifying two well-known artists unwittingly complementing each other’s strengths and limitations: bacchanalian rapper Missy Elliott combined with morose English rock band Joy Division, ecstatic Madonna working with furious Sex Pistols.
		In fact, “A Stroke of Genius” is so good that it eventually led Freelance Hellraiser to do official remixes for Aguilera and others, and he has just completed, at Paul McCartney’s invitation, an entire album of McCartney remixes.

		While his friends sit at home in their mothers' living rooms all day, dreaming of what it would be like to be a big-time rapper and put Detroit on the hip-hop map, Jimmy spends his days working at a car plant, trying to save up enough money to get some studio time.
		The film begins with Jimmy at the Shelter, a club where local rappers participate in a verbal jousting over the disc jockey's laid-back beat to see who can outwit whom and remain the last rapper standing.
		But it is not until the last 10 minutes of 8 Mile, when Jimmy returns to the Shelter, that the audience is truly witness to Jimmy's genius as a rapper.

		Released at the end of a quiet year for the Wu-Tang family, GZA's Legend of the Liquid Sword proves Gary Grice is easily the most underrated rapper in the fold, and definitely the most consistent as a solo artist.
		The collective's trademark detuned strings had gone from de rigueur to downright dated by mid-1999, and except for a well-received RZA solo album earlier in the year, the lead in hip-hop's hype game appeared to have been taken over by Timbaland's brand of future funk.
		The Brooklyn-based hip hop duo All City comprised rappers J. Mega and Greg Valentine.

		Hes just got this energy that I havent found in any other MC, yet at the same time, hes got more rhyme-intelligence than pretty much any other MC in the game.
