see thats the thing, "Fish Scale" and "More Fish" have good moments, when the beat is good and the mc's flow is on point.
however i think it has to be admitted that the albums are half efforts, leading up to "Fish Scale" as i said earlier my anticipation for the album was high, not just because of the hype, but also the pporduction line up and featured mc's, "9 Mili Bros" seemed like wu would be getting back to making good music togeher.
and what do we get? and album full of beats from Doom and Dilla which are reused (although i understand with dilla that was cool, but i prefered the tracks as they stand alone on 'Donuts') and 9 mili bros, with re used verses, a terrible verse from cappa, and average verses from other generals which seem to have be phoned in. a track which should have been great was just another ok track.
Ghost seems concerned with getting material out there, and i dont really think he can be criticised considering the nature of hip hop these days with the mixtape scene etc. but think about an album which combined the great tracks from Fish Scale and More Fish... ghost is just rushing stuff out, and compromising his music to cater in a way which he thinks will appeal to a wider market.
when is "Swift & Changeable" coming out? this album would be crazy, as long as the beats are doom originals. but instead we got "More Fish" which is flooding with Theodore filler (although i like trife alot), the creation of a rap group based around a member from another group borders on ridiculous.
yeah anyway, of ghost releases the collab album with doom with original beats i will be happy.
