damn this album has no filler dope cd, perfect return to form for Ghost, after that Wizard of Poetry slip up...still one of the most consistant members of the Wu!

Really disapointed in my dude Scram Jones beat. Especially when the track after is a MONSTER.


Enjoying the album so far

Like Predator said, it is a very soulful album, but hip hop to it's core. Gets my vote as most consistent rapper in the game right now.

pretty good record overall, better than Big Doe Rehab but I feel like even though his last album was R&B it was put together better and had more of that "album" feel

Yeah there were too many moments in that album where Ghost didnt really rhyme enough on, tracks like "Lets Stop Playin" were great tracks like "Ill Be that" and "Not Your Average Chick" were straight comedy and just really it went against what Wu was about but all in all he made a good attempt at some thing different but slipped up in comparison to gems like FishScaly, Supreme, BPW etc...

This is his best since Fishscale, way better than Ghostdini which other than the Fabulous track I wasn't really feeling. It's selfish but as much as Ghostdini was Ghostface it wasn't the Ghostface people wanted to hear.

I always took Ghostdini as a experimental album with a main theme and musically more of a R&B sounding album. The storytelling on it was dope. But yeah THIS is the Ghost people have grown accustomed to hearing.

I'm still not sure whether WOP is an experimental concept album or def jam tightening the lease.

1. Purified Thoughts - 5/5. Typical great Wu sounding track. And "typical" isn't a bad thing. They all kill it. My incredibly good sources tell me Ghost & Priest are knockin' out another joint as we speak  ;)

2. Superstar - 3.25/5. Not bad. Busta kills it. I hate the chorus though.
3. Black Tequila - 4/5. I can enjoy it. Again, great typical Wu sounding cut.
4. Drama - 5/5. Love this right here. Nice to see Ghost work with Joell/Game. Like to see Ghost work with different ppl since we usually just see the usual suspects. Game kills it.

5. 2Getha' Baby - 5/5. Great hip-hop at its finest. Love the soulful feel it has. Probably my favorite joint on the album.
6. Starkology - 3.5/5. Pretty typical sounding again, but just a bit below of what I expect from a joint like this
7. In Tha Park - 4/5. Solid joint. Real hip-hop right here.

8. How You Like Me Baby - 3.75/5. Good joint right here. Love the soulful feel again.
9. Handcuffin' Them Hoes - 3/5. Not my cup of tea and I'm not very interested in Ghost/Jim Jones collabo's
10. Street Bullies - 4/5. Again, good, typical sounding Wu cut.

11. Ghetto - 4/5. Not much to say lol. Consistent good (Wu) good music.
12. Troublemakers - 5/5. Like this joint a lot. Redman killed it!

All in all, a typical good Ghostwritten album. Very consistent sound, cohesive as always. What you expect is what you get.

Btw, seen a lot of people comment on Ghostdini. I liked that album. It was different for Ghost and I think it worked. Just my opinion. Loved the storytelling element it had.

Exactly. Without looking at the tracklist, if my mind serves me correctly, half or more than half was storytelling records. I remember I was allowed an early listen at the album and wrote a review for Raptalk. Was very impressed indeed

Doooope album. Best since Fishcale. Wizard Of Poetry was a nice suprise too, but mc'n is where Tony needs to be and this is the one. If it wasn't for that godawful handcuffin hoes track, this would be damn near classic...
