4th Chamber

"4th Chamber" is a song by American rapper and Wu-Tang Clan member GZA, released as the fourth and final single (along with "Shadowboxin'") from his second studio album Liquid Swords (1995), on March 28, 1996.

GZA stated in an interview with Wax Poetics: Making "4th Chamber" was crazy because I didn't have a rhyme ready for that one.

In Ghostface Killah's verse, he asks complex metaphysical questions and mentions "sipping rum out of Stanley Cups".

[3] Chris Smith from Stylus Magazine wrote, "soon gives way to an even more astonishing, hyperactive RZA verse, rich in breathless they've-got-documents-on-it-locked-away but-they-know-we're-onto-them and-they're-coming-for-us paranoia with a righteous-anger, gnomic undertone.

"[4] In a review of the album, Ian Cohen of Pitchfork stated "Outside of RZA's phenomenal third-eye verse from '4th Chamber' (yell 'lynched the prominent dominant Islamic, Asiatic black Hebrew' on the subway, it's fun), there is almost nothing here that can't be easily understood by a teenager.

"[5] Rachel Greenberg of Okayplayer commented that Ghostface Killah "spaz[zes] out on [a] stellar guest turn".
