GZA - Publicity Lyrics






Who be first to catch this beat down? My rappages be the source
Ego trip remain victory, and no loss
Rap sheet show you details of wars in streets
Where the most live, catch vibe and blaze heat
Double XL kings who rush through, got right on
Quick to stress ya, sound crew to get a mic on
Math lets the plates spin consecutive hits,
Promoters' face grin the dawn catch fist,
Keep the paper direct wire see them jake be tire
Unlike the story that echoes out with chronic liars
Like those who feast on hogs, eat murder dogs
A village voice kid with his heart and soul calm
Killa bees produce the honey, that fortify the platinum
Plus the dj claws fiend to scratch them
Thus street team takes shots of criticism
Promotional vehicles wiffin wit mad rhythm
With the lockout of one of our source sports
We spice the stand and launch the stage on the ball court
During the first half, number one draft rap lords,
Swing swords, slam microphone, shatter billboards
Forty-eight in sight, after inhalin the herb
Vision impaired, when the silhouette emerged
One nut out the clan get your whole click banned
From radio pd's cut your raps man
Forcin me to move on from one world to another
On the gulf, from the fuel jet to hover
Take cover wit the radical, urban latino
No hip-hop connection wit us and Janet Reno
I do an interview and they aim to trace my essence
To know more than is necessary blunts your weapon
My group's nova, remain unsober
And serve high times wit king cobras i shoulder
Low-post mc's, your whole style (lafeast[?])
Second to get your word up, then the troops unleash
Creative (low fling[?]) to the grand opening
Wit my ray gun scoping, you're hoping
Uniforms be fridged when they walk the black beat
In the heat, of razors exposin fresh meat
In bedrock and gambling - rolling stone, out of zone
Where they can't monitor my 'xact poem
Collide wit the tiger beat, rappin raga
Ebony eyes, folks see the saga

    M.... ....

    Me to man. Even tho i promised myself to always stay sucka-free but them violins
    Also got me on one knee payin homage.
    I always wonder where he got that sample from cuz I swear I have heard
    before i think in more classical settings long befor this album came out
    I just don't who composed it or where I heard it.

    M.... ....

    It's crazy where the sample came from...I never would have imagined it in a hundred years. @ 00:45


    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AR5kSglHxB4

  50. F.... F....

    I'm probably the only person here who didn't first hear this on grind session but on beneath the surface. That album was fire, especially the title track. High school memories.

  51. W.... W....

    GZA is just so underrated lyrically

    W.... W....

    Who are you listening to that would make GZA seem underrated? You can take just his themed songs--"Labels," "Publicity," "Fame," "Queen's Gambit"--and make an album that would go platinum. He's one of the greatest to ever do it.

  52. d.... d....

    damn son's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  53. A.... ....

    Sido/Estikay/Dj Desue - Danke, dass ihr mich wieder hierher zurückgebracht habt.
    Habe das Lied damals schon übelst gefeiert und nun kommt es wieder!

  54. D.... O....

    To me Gza is the greatest rapper of all time

    D.... O....

    David Olsen RZA would agree

    D.... O....

    David Olsen As would Ghostface

    D.... O....

    Damn 😦

    D.... O....

    No doubt.

    D.... O....

    I cant argue that

  55. C.... H....

    When punk kids tell me that they hip hop fans, I ask them what they know about GZA, The Genius, if they don't know shit, I enlighten them by playing this epic track

    C.... H....

    feel u 100%. I try to tell these kids man... the shook ones

  56. b.... b....

    damn , killer mind blow

  57. D.... U....

    this instrumental , so epic.. can;t explain in words the feelings ! :D

  58. �.... ....

    GANGSTA SHIT

  59. H.... C....

    one of the most underrated rappers & tracks ever

    H.... C....

    Hampton Corry in my opinion he's the most lyrical out the wu

    H.... C....

    I dont think GZA is underated but this track yea !!! I feel it every morning !!!

    H.... C....

    Lyricists rappers will always be underrated. I never seen GZA on any top 10 GOAT rappers. Mostly only Wu fans place GZA on one of the greatest, sadly.

  60. R.... ....

    During the first half, number one draft, rap lords, swing swords, slam microphone, shatter billboards...Real Hip Hop!

    R.... ....

    I opened up the comments at the same time he was saying those lines

    R.... ....

    That's bloody poetry

  61. I.... R....

    300k views yet these cornballs give a mil+ to 2chain Fetty garbage....SMH disgusting

    @fuctrump

  62. F.... C....

    I always thought this beat was banging!

    F.... C....

    the beat is actually an orchestra

    F.... C....

    Absolutely! Not only is Rza a top 3 all time producer dead or alive, He is one hell of a true composer Symphony Orchestra style and a great teacher to his other producers like 4th Disciple and Tru Master...Aside from learning a ton, I feel being under Rza has actually left 4th Disciple extremely underrated

    F.... C....

    This is actually mathematics on the beat

    F.... C....

    Nosferatu239 math let the plates spin

  63. L.... R....

    real nigga shit

  64. A.... M....

    Gza's science is tight.

  65. J.... ....

    Not available on mobile version ;(

  66. B.... H....

    Grind session!!!!

  67. P.... W....

    I remember when this joint came out I was about 18 at Rockaway beach bumpin this in a fuckin tape deck. real hip hop baby....thas wasup!

  68. 8.... M....

    classic cut

  69. N.... N....

    so i was bumping this album while replaying through halo 2 and 3 (re playing em all) it was during halo 3 that i started listening and theres so many connections lol, like "Vision impaired, when the silhouette emerged" that happens like 20 times during halo 3 campaign and "One nut out the Clan
    Get your whole click banned from radio
    PD's cut your raps man
    Forcin me to move on from one world to another
    On the gulf, from the fuel Jet to hover" its like the rap verson of chief goin around alone kickin ass
    after that he mentions ray guns too..
    GZA is the best. lol

  70. A.... H....

    I'm gonna be 50 and still bumping this album. long live the Wu

    L.... K....

    Logan K 8

  76. G.... G....

    Here because of Grind Session on PS1

    G.... G....

    +Generally Good Music Hell yeah

    G.... G....

    I am really tempted to buy a new copy. THPS5 sucks. Grind Session was better 15 years before

    G.... G....

    Nostalgia like a muhfucka

    G.... G....

    Hell yeah. I remember playing when I was like 5 years old in 2007 and 7-8 years old back in 2010 not even knowing how to play.

  77. J.... G....

    yeahhhhhhh

  78. m.... ....

    trippn ass this is my shit

  79. r.... ....

    I've this song so many times when I was young and had no clue the amount of pure referencing that builds this song. I just thought the dude had a weird way of rapping. A true professional in his field. 

  80. B.... T....

    https://soundcloud.com/ben-tab/gza-publicity-beneath-the-surface

  81. w.... ....

    this was a good album. I might have to revisit this one.

  82. F.... S....

    GZA doing his thing as usual. Using magazine titles to tell a story! This dude brain is on another level compared to the majority of so-called rappers/Mcs of this era.

    F.... S....

    Muthu Dissanayake Vibe XXL the village voice source billboard hip hop connection urban latino all names of magazines the whole song is made up of them probably a bunch in there I don't know

    F.... S....

    rolling stone

    F.... S....

    Yep. He's telling it as he sees it. No twisting. It's already twisted.

    I always think he's walking or driving through the place, rapping what he's seeing, unpacking the headlines.

    I think about Subterranean Homesick Blues, but on a different scale. Different scene

    F.... S....

    He's like Einstein compared to these new dumbed down trash rappers

    F.... S....

    He did the same thing with Animal Planet@lunch box He is the personification of Rap/Hip-Hop

  83. K.... T....

    Naruto sample

    K.... T....

    @Keith Thompson came out before naruto

  84. T.... T....

    lol skated to this for so many years....

    i finally realize this was a scheme about publicity tools with many word associations.

    *cue famous scene from Scanners*

    thx gza and battle rap lol

    T.... T....

    He did the same with "Labels" on Liquid Swords, raps a story with various record companies.

    T.... T....

    +The Thoro Network Check out Animal Planet by Gza. Just a dude that takes the art of rapping/Rhyming seriously. Not your average M.C

    T.... T....

    u have 2 read the lable

  85. j.... h....

    Promotional vehicles woofin with mad rhythm
    With the lockout of one of our Source Sports

  87. S.... ....

    How can anyone say that Drake is the nicest when he wouldn't even know where to begin after GZA blesses the steal?!?!?

    S.... ....

    never heard anyone say that.

    S.... ....

    @tommy vercetti believe it or not some do.

    S.... ....

    thank u for somebody finally telling it like it is....speaking the truth. mutha fuckas got no skills these days n still getting signed. underground is the real hip hop!

  88. S.... D....

    GZA is a LYRICAL ASSASSIN!!!!! 

  89. S.... H....

    This track is ridiculous

  90. A.... ....

    The Terry Knight & the Pack SAMPLE is DOPE!!!

  91. A.... ....

    Melle Mel,BDP,Eric B & RAKIM,Public Enemy,Ultramagnetic M.C.s,Juice Crew. etc....Back when Dope lyrics were the minimum requirement!?!?

  92. W.... C....
