Whats the worst verse on 9 milli bros?
Id say either Ghostface himself or Masta Killa... just a boring verse...
How about worst verse on the album?... prob go to Cappa on Dogs of War. He has that one ill line on it "got family that go to church, coming back like it dont work" but soon after it gets very redundant.
u gotta be kiddin me...that album went platinumQuote:

http://www.nobodysmiling.com/content..._Fishscale.jpgMost geniuses often spend their careers misunderstood. It is not until much later that these avant-gardes receive the recognition they deserve. I wouldn’t go as far as calling Ghostface Killah a genius, but he is definitely ahead of his time. His rambling rhyme style, seamless transitions and storytelling, along with his, at times, complex subject content make him difficult for the average hip hop listener to keep up with, but if you study up you can comprehend the emcee. His ability to paint vivid word pictures via his narratives, above par lyricism, and willingness to step out of the box has procured him a spot amongst hip hop elite. Who else has a discography that is so solid? Each album takes you on a deep pilgrimage through his imaginative mind while maintaining individuality and quality. With his fifth installment, Fishscale, Ghost hopes to continue producing creative and inventive work that is relevant to the hood.
Fishscale displays Ghostface’s versatility as an emcee. Ghost takes the listener to places they would never expect to go including; journeying to the depths of the sea and relating stories of getting his ass whooped by his mom. On the aquatic “Underwater” Ghost narrates a sequence of events about underwater mischief in which he chases mermaids beneath the sea until he reaches a holy destination. This innovative track puts Ghostface’s descriptive skills in the limelight. The sounds of rising bubbles, swimming sounds, and eloquent descriptions of the sea make this story come alive to the senses. His ability to make the words seem palpable is a talent that makes Ghost distinctive in his works. Who else could turn a track about an underwater pilgrimage, mermaids and treasures of the sea into some fly s---? Then there’s the comical satire on new school parenting “Whip You With a Strap.” On the J-Dilla (R.I.P.) produced, Ghost reminisces about getting laced with the leather glock (aka the belt) by his mom as a child over an old school inspired sample of the title. The track serves as a commentary on the lack of discipline being instilled in families now. This track also commemorates Ghost’s mom along with the heartfelt track “Momma.” Just Blaze and Ghost collaborate on “The Champ” in which Ghost triumphantly claims dominance over his native, NY. Ghost flows successfully and incessantly over the Blaze track in his usual manner. All the members of Wu Tang come together on the track “Nine Milli Brothers” to spit over the MF Doom track. U-God puts it accurately when he says, “the rat pack is back.” Each emcee delivers their own piece to the puzzle bringing back nostalgia from those Enter the Wu and Forever days. Raekwon, the Chef, makes a couple of appearances on Fishscale including track “Kilo,” “R.A.G.U.,” and “Three Bricks.” “R.A.G.U.” has Ghost and Raekwon doing what they do best; painting a cinematic portrait of a guy that Raekwon has some beef with. The album ends with the climactic “Three Bricks” a collabo with Raekwon and the late great Notorious B.I.G. (R.I.P.) This track has Raekwon, Biggie and Ghost trading tales of their fatal encounters moving bricks and popping off shots at their enemies. The classic Big verse along with worthy rhymes from the Chef and Ghost serve as a good way to cap off the album.
This is real hip hop. Fishscale will undoubtedly be considered one of the best albums of the year. The production is on point and the rhymes are on point. What more could you want in the words of Phontay from Little Brother? Ghost finds some new acquaintances production wise including MF Doom and the late great J-Dilla updating his sound. As far collaborations, it’s a lot of old friends present. The soulful and humorous aspects of Ghost are still present throughout the album, which are represented in some of the samples and skits. This album similar to the flow of Ghost is a seamless listen taking you through valleys and peaks. I’d definitely recommend this album strongly to any hip hop fan.
