Ghostface Killa's Bulletproof Wallets is a tight CD. I generally am not a HUGE Wu Tang fan, but I was really felling this album. I just wonder how the Wu-Tang faithful will react to this album.
-
Everyone will like this album because it is incredible and the best Wutang project since Cuban Linx or Liquid Swords.
You should check Cliche's review on SOHH.com, it is on point. He gives it a 5/5, and it very well might be, even in the Source. I know they just gave out a 5 mic to Jay Z, but i wouldn't be surprised if Ghost doesn't get at least 4.5.
Word, only bad thing is that The Sun ft. Slick Rick isn't on there, and that song is so dope. Oh well, i suggest everyone on this board give this album a chance because it really is very good.
-
im a cop this fo sho..
been waiting on this ghost album..
yall dont sleep on it now.. ;D :o
peace
-
yo i got that cd, its hot as hell!
i just wish the sample woulda cleared for tha joint "Good Times" that song is fuckin dope
-
Yeah that shit is Ill...y'all gotta go cop it...
-
Ohh and BTW i got the bootleg (yeah and imma still cop it) and it has The Sun on it, I dunno why it was left off...
-
I'm gettin' that shit tomorrow... I heard a lot of it and there's no question it's sick! GHOSTFACE is the most consistent Wu member...
-
I havent heard it yet, but im anticipating it greatly. I heard its similira to CL.............
-
By the way, The Sun WILL BE on Bulletproof Wallets afterall........according to Towerrecords.com at least.......
-
if any of the songs sound like the song he's got out now "i'll never be the same again" with carl thomas---------------THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL I"M COPPING THIS!!! please tell me that song is unique and the rest are different and that song was just a desperate attempt for comercial success
-
That song with Carl Thomas is so fresh. Anyways-the CD has a poppy feel to it-but i dig it overall..
-

i think i'm going to buy an old Black Sabath record then instead....
-
I HONESTLY don't see the poppy feel at all, despite that joint with Carl Thomas... YO, THIS IS A WU CD, ok???? WU-TANG CLAN! It's what you think it should be. Really is. You BETTER check it out...
-
Bulletproof Wallet isnt even going to hit stores for a couple of weeks. Also, I strongly suggest listening to tracks on CDnow.com before I rule out buying this album. Good, bad, or indifferent-dont let me calling this album poppy prevent you from giving it a chance.
-
yes I am definetly feeling this album. My favorite joint would have to be flowers featuring Raekwon and Meth
-
you know ima buy this because ghost has never let me down before...ironman and supreme clientele were nuts and im kinda feelin that single with carl thomas...sure it doesnt have much of a wu feel and usually i hate that but the concept is deep and hes keeping it real with his words...i seriouslly doubt that ghost has EVER dropped a weak verse.
-
ghost is on of the few artists i would spent my money on. with ghost you are guaranteed to expect QUALITY.
'it'll never be the same again' is hot. bigjakedoggydogg needs to pass me some of his chronic and take those ear plugs out. how can u diss this track and then stick up for shit like snoops 'snoop dogg' single.
-
I agree Ghostface sold out with the first single...but I like it. Lol, the beat and hook are tight. I still won't buy the album...I don't like Wu anymore.
-
'TURN ON THA RADIO, ALL U HEAR IS X AND JIGGA, HA HA U VEXED NICCA, NO AIRPLAY - i bet my gat spray'
it's all bout ghost in november
-
I'll more than likely pick this up, Ironman & CL were dope, hopefully this will be too.
-
this is def better than SC... i wasnt feelin SC At all and i love this album
if this had goodtimes, the watch, and the sun on it shit would be amazing for real.... unfortunately it most likely wont but damn this shit is good even wth out those songs... if they was on here this album would be the siht
-
I'm copping this joint. It should be hot..........after hearing flowers I have been really hyped. I think this might be the best album of the winter for real......Ghost has been the most consistent from the wu and still droppin heat. This joint comes out on the 20th right?
-
ima get this cd when i get tha money
-
I just got it & listened to it. Its a great cd, its not as grimey as the other Wu cds but its good.
Listen up, I read an interview with Ghost from recently & he said that originally they were going to do a typical underground Wu cd for this one but Loud made them put that on the back burner & make a more radio friendly cd. & seeing as loud made him do that he did a good job in not selling out. He used alot of soul, r-n-b music & didn't resort to having to hook up with some technotronix rnb producer like Timbaland. The album topics are good real topics about the hardships of relationships & life in general, none of this senseless subject matter that alot of the RNB artists use today where they seem to think of a million different ways to say the same old "I love you so much, you mean the world to me...."
This album is top notch & so far every single Ghostface cd out is IMO 4.5 mics (& everyone knows i'm a bit tight on my ratings unlike the source who seem to give out mics like they were jellybean's). This album is no exception. Iron Man, Supreme Clientele & Bulletproof Wallets are albums well worth buying.

Excellent point about the Source who "give out mics like they were jellybeans). Real cute expression. Yah--Anyways-that statement is rediculous because the Source has only given away one 5 mic rating in something like 5 years. So one perfect rating in 5 years? Jellybeans are overflowin---
-
I have to agree with SugeFight here, the Source does NOT, I repeat, NOT give out alot of mics. They are, in fact, very poor when it comes to recognizing classic material. I mean, they gave The Chronic, Me Against The World, Cuban Linx, Liquid Swords, E.1999 Eternal, and ATLiens less than 5 mics. There is NO excuse for that, all of those albums are easily classic material........

You guys dont get it. I read The Source every now & then & you notice that every fuckin album gets 4 mics these days. 4 mics, they give them out way to easy. & also they tend to give more mics to people who have the recognition, the money & the popularity.
Example would be Jay-Z's The Blueprint. Its a good cd & I do believe it should have got 4 mics or 4.5 mics, but 5 was going overboard. I'm telling you the only reason it was given 5 mics was because Jay Z is in there eyes God of rap & can't do no wrong. If Jay Z's name wasnt as big, he was barely heard of, didnt have past hits, but still dropped the EXACT same album, The Source would have gave it less, like maybe a 4 mic if he was lucky
Source are known for handing out 4 mics to every fuckin album that is done by a popular hip hop name. Eastsiders 2nd cd got 4 mics. 4 MICS. Sure, it was a DECENT album, but it only deserved 3 mics, 3.5 mics max.
You know why Dr.Dre's "THE CHORNIC" didnt get 5 mics, because at the time Dre's name was in the mud. He was broke (dre admits all these things BTW), his reputation & popularity went thru the mud as N.W.A. broke up & seeing as they were already banned from radio & TV people wouldnt have been familar with everyone in the group, probably just knew the name of the group Dre was in, Dre signed to new unheard of record label which would later be known as Tha Row.
If Dre was the Kind of the rap media in 1992 & 1999 his cd's would have been given 5 mics, instead, he got stingy unfair rating from The Source & as soon as it started selling & getting popular the Source jumped on its dick
The Source aint nuthin but groupies & like Ice Cube said in "True To The Game";
"On MTV but they don't care
They'll have a new nigga next year"
Thats why I hate The Source, it was once a good magazine, like 8 years ago. I only buy it if it has an article on one of my favs, which might happen once or twice a year.
