"hey its still ghost" and with that in mind they still picture him as lengendary.
im not saying ghost has fallen off, but maybe is writing lyrics to keep up with the flow of music... peace my aussie homie... :D hit the waves
FishScale > MoreFish
More Fish had too many fillers and too much Trife, he starts sounding the same after a while.
I have to say that since the 718 Mixtape I havent purchased any new Wu albums. Avid collector before that, but my financial situation chanegd up a bit, and it just wasn't worth it all.
Over here in Holland Fishscale was hailed by much of the hiphop community s a classic. Everybody found it great. A first listen made it nice. BUt the longevity just wasn't there. Alot of the beats somehow didn't feel right of just too simple for words. Lyrics didn't caught on.
The album wasn't an album it was a mere collection of Ghost songs put together. With the average stand out of high light there to be excited about. But the overall was just so press forward. It sort of had the same empty feel Pretty Toney left you with after four months. The time that you forgot that he even released an album.
More Fish suffered a similar faith. It could have been a way better album if more than half of the tracks were cut off. The EP format or combination with Fishscale would have suited it better. The albums tasted like Fastfood.
Not too long ago I started a thread about how Ghost needed more Psychedelic productions. As stated my problem with Ghost was more production wise. That is the first thing that captures my mind lately as I did not find the time to sit through the albums and listen to the lyrics.
Personally I still digged a record like Bullet Proof Wallets. That was the last one album that truely felt like a solid record. The distinctive sound throughout the record is so clear. Thereīs alot to be said about the released version and the cut cuts. For me itīs still great.
Pretty Toney was the one that sky rocketed the media with Ghost fetish. Sure it was nice to hear Ghost rap over the Delphonics record. At the end, the album didnīt hold together. A person can only digest so many tastes at a time.
Just maybe, a common factor between all these albums is. Wu involvement and production. Just maybe. Sure Supreme Clientele had a whole collection of different producers, difference there is they remained working with the same sound for all of it. That ear went missing with Raekwons watch.
Yeah I know and that's sad, but can't argue with opinionsQuote:

I think you have to been there at the time to understand the situation we went through here. Every topic had a U-God reference.
i cant believe how many response this got already..
but i can't really disagree with the original post...i didnt like Bulletproof Wallets, hated Pretty Toney (although alotta the tracks that didnt make it onto the album were fire), Fishscale was ok but i get annoyed by it, and i didnt even get More Fish...
Ironman and SC are 2 of my fav albums of all time so i aint a Ghost hater...i thought Charlie Brown was some of his illest shit in a long time..he fuckin murdered that.....other than that though, most of his stuff hasnt been that special..he doesnt really have the crazy rhyme style anymore, he sounds not too diff from every1 else and i cant stand it when he sings on tracks...............
i think whenever the Swift n Changeable album comes out it will be amazing tho....
Your a dickhead. I just stated my opinion on Ghost these days. That's not me lying u faggot. Look up the word lying in the dictionary you stupid groupie.Quote:

I know its hard not to compare every album to SC and Ironman, but come on.
Ghostface is the ONLY member of Wu Tang coming with any sort of substance these days aside from Masta Killa(we'll see about Rae).
Fishscale is a good album. There are some bangers on there. ANd like I said, I don't get the hating on More Fish..that album is raw as fuck.
Ghost's voice has always been high pitched and whiny. I don't know what some of you are really getting at. No ones voice sounds the same over time.
Ghost has been consistent. He might not be hitting .400 with all his albums, but he is a consistent .300 hitter. Every MC makes wack song, has wack verses, so that comparison to 50, u could do that with anyone.
ITS ABOUT DELIVERY TOO. Alotta dudes got rhymes, but there delivery sucks.
I don't think all ghostaces albums are classics. Fishscale was just alright, but it was far from wack.
Back Like That was a good song, I dont understand who would bitch about it. AND it got played on the radio, that is a feat in and of itself for the Wu.
I just don't think that Ghostface is deserving of a thread like this because he really hasn't fallen off at all. A guy like Nas, yea, u could say he fell off somewhat...but then again..it was written, I am, and Lost Tapes were still pretty dope. You cant hit a homerun with every album.
harm77 u took the words out of my mouth
oh btw the reason i listened to wu was cause of ghost.
ghost is still on of the best mcs out there today
theres no real comp
you would expect nas, ghost, jay-z etc to raise the bar to shine over everyone else
To me his albums are roughly 6, 7, 7.5, 8, 9, 10. Basically he's run the gauntlet. He's done it all. I don't really expect more than three real good solo albums in a decade from anyone. It just isn't normal. Everything he does now is just icing on the cake. He's always good on the Clan albums. And he's always good on the Clan member's albums.
I just wish he'd sing a lot less and I don't feel Theodore Unit at all.
