Ghostface Killa: Ghostdini the Wizard of Poetry (09/29)

Just found out this was coming out this week. Anyone else picking this one up? Talk about a one two punch by Raekwon and Ghostface.

I didn't really care for it at all. The lyrics are exceedingly simple and the production ranges from decent to awful. It's also only 11 tracks not including the bonus tracks. Ghost could have done the RnB thing right but this just sounds like generic radio bullshit.

Thanks for the heads up! Sounds like a lackluster release after the great CLII.

Everything I've heard off of it has been terrible.

Yeah this is weak sauce. I understand he was trying to do something different but it didn't work.

2nd worst album behind wallets. Every other ghost album is usually in my top 10 of that given year. I think the production is good and the lyrics are good but its just the content. It is R/B type content. By lyrically good I mean its good rhymes, good flow, a lot of good lines but the topic doesnt appeal to me.

This seemed like a rushed album to me.. Fishscale was the last album I of his I liked. The Pretty Toney Album was his last great album IMO. I mean I'm glad he's a Wu member putting out regular material but this one is a snoozer.

the original version of Bulletproof Wallets is great.


i still think this is decent, but definately his weakest, maybe because i was already expecting it to sound like how it sounds since ghostface announce some time ago that it was going to be a more of an r&b record...
