Features Song Lyrics for Genius/GZA's Pro Tools album.

24 августа в Зеленом театре! Большой тур легендарной рэп-группы в полном составе! · 16+

Pro Tools is the fifth studio album by American rapper and Wu-Tang Clan member GZA. The album was released August 19, 2008 on Babygrande Records. It serves as his first release since his collaboration album with DJ Muggs, Grandmasters (2005), and follows six years after his last solo effort, Legend of the Liquid Sword (2002).

The lead single from GZAs 2008 album Pro Tools, Paper Plates is one long rambling diss against 50 Cent and G-Unit. 50 Cent has never publicly responded to the track. According to GZA, the name of the track comes from the fact that a paper plate is disposable and not unique. What have the artists said about the song? You know what Paper Plate is about? just something that is lightweight and disposable. You can recycle it and get rid of it after you’re done with it. It’s just a statement that I wanted to get out, saying that I’m lyrical and I’m not material

Gary E. Grice (born August 22, 1966), better known by his stage names GZA (/ˈdʒɪzə/ JIZ-ə) and The Genius, is an American rapper and songwriter. A founding member of the hip hop group the Wu-Tang Clan, GZA is the group's "spiritual head", being both the oldest and the first in the group to receive a record deal. He has appeared on his fellow Clan members' solo projects, and has maintained a successful solo career starting with Liquid Swords (1995).

The Genius, GZA. Pro Tools. Even fans who didn't care for the laid-back, murky feel of GrandMasters - GZA's 2005 effort with DJ Muggs - had to give the album respect, well aware that the Wu-Tang member was adjusting his style for the DJ and just grooving it slower with the same high-quality rhymes. The bar remains just as high on the man's follow-up, but anyone alienated by GrandMasters' attitude will be pleased that the uptempo and sometimes oddball rhymes are back in full force here and sit on a set of melancholy soul productions that have that classic Wu atmosphere.

Pro Tools serves as a hip-hop state-of-the-union address, with GZA spending a lot of his time taking other MCs to task. It’s entertaining enough, as GZA does it with an intelligence even those in the industry for years (Kanye West) can’t touch, but he would be better served focusing on his own skills instead.
