[edit] Wrongful Redirecting?

Why does a search for Maximillion redirect to this article?

-- maximillion is one of gza's aliases

[edit] Birthdate?

Can somebody find a birthdate for GZA? Blastfromthepast 05:07, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps the provided "Shadowboxing" sound clip is not the best example of Gza's music . . . considering Gza isn't even in the clip. The voice is that of Method Man, who is featured on the single. -- 68.115.95.184 8 July 2005 04:50 (UTC)

I replaced it with a sample of GZA on Ghostface's "Wu Banga 101". Not his own song, I know, but it serves its purpose of letting people find out what he sounds like. --Jamieli 8 July 2005 15:42 (UTC)

Isn't reducing "The Genius" to an alias a little bit weird, since it's included even on most album covers and since his record label's site says "GZA/Genius"? http://www.mcarecords.com/artistMain.asp?artistid=100 .. I'd rather say that GZA is aka "GZA/Genius" than "The Genious"..--Jacob no. 9 10:02, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

"GZA/Genius" is just "GZA, also known as Genius". Genius was his name before he took the name GZA. --Jamieli 12:40, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
