Ghostface--"Bulletproof Wallets"

<< < (2/2)

Tha_Chill:
On first listen this CD sounds better than Supreme Clientele.  I haven't gotten through the whole CD yet, but I feel the beats sound a lot more crisp and perfected than some of those on SC, but as I said, I haven't gotten through the whole CD and there may be some beats and songs that don't seem like they fit.  So far I'd give this 4.5/5, it could get worse though, but with it being Ghost and him being the lyricist he is I doubt it could drop due to him, maybe some of the songs won't fit.

I just thought I'd add my initial thoughts to the CD since I don't have time to write my own reviews.

Yo let me spit something about this CD. This album is brilliant and it doesn’t sell shit and that’s sad. Maybe this thread will turn some heads to it as I revitalize it.

01 – Intro – just like in both Raekwon’s albums. Nice one – 3,0
02 – Maxine f/Rae – Some powerful shit right here, just like the tracks No.2 in Cuban Linx and Ironman albums. A speedy storytelling that takes yo breath away. – 4,0
03 – Flowers f/Rae, Meth & Superb of American Cream Team – I love this RZA beat, kinda playful but sick as ffuck. And you know they rhyme well, too. – 4,0
04 - Never Be The Same Again w/Carl Thomas & Rae – Well, the song is pop, the drums are soft as a young girl’s ass, but it’s sooo smooth you wont be disappointed. Ghost manages to address the lyrics to girls and stay grimy. – 4,0
05 – interlude – A very funny one with Ghost awfully singin. A LMFAO type shit. 3,0
06 – Theodore f/Trife & Twiz – The kinda beat I  love for Ghost, reminds me of Ghost Deini, Fish, Box In Hand, Malcolm etc. That n***a Trife is really good on the mic! – 4,5
07 – Ghost Showers – A clone of Cherchez Laghost. Nice one. If they don’t release it as a single, the CD will totally sink. – 4,0
08 – Strawberry – f/Killah Sin, w/ RZA & Allah Mathematics. – A fuckin tite azz beat yall, really raw. Ghost spits some shit similar to Wildflower, totally misogynistic. RZA & Mathematics (the man that designed the Wu-logo and my personal fav wu-producer after RZA) talk funny about Ghost bustin a nut. – 4,5
09 – The Forest f/Raekwon – archaic Alchemist beat, Ghost turns cartoon characters into crackheads and prostistutes. – 4,0
10 – The Juks f/ Superb & Trife – Both guests do really good battling, some raw street stuff for yall. Ghost is magic once again. Alchemist designed an interesting beat. – 4,0
11 – Walking Thru The Darkness (RMX) f/ Tekitha – This waas originally from Ghost Dog sdtrk, but nofuckinbody bought it, so RZA reused it. Ghost turned a sleepy song into a hyped-up one. You no, he’s always fire. Tekitha’s vocals are silky. – 4,0
12 – Jealousy – A nice skit with hazardous vocal loop.- 3,5
13 – The Hilton f/Raekwon – Fuck, the dynamic duo once again spits some carefully designed movie script stuff. Art of storytelling at its finest. - 4,5
14 – Ice - A microscopic song with beat similar to intros of JayZ’s and Nas’s albums. – 4,0
15 – Love Session f/Ruff Endz – A laidback song, just a good one. Unnecessary trip to the ladies’ world. – 3,5
16 – Street Chemistry – f/ Prodical & Trife – A wonderful beat , RZA followed the traditions of Heaven & Hell and Nutmeg. Listen and climax. – 4,5

I wont talk much, I’ll just say that if this CD was released in 1995, we’d all be worshippin it 10 years from now. A true WuTang banger from first to last second. No medium songs, only superb stuff. Ghost is God. 8,5 outta 10.
