Ghostface & BADBADNOTGOOD album Sour Soul out Feb. 24 (Album Discussion Thread)

[Pinyapplesuckas]

Ghost is one of my all-time favorite rappers. But I can't keep listening to these bad Fishscale impressions (and Fishscale was overrated upon release).

I need that gritty, fun, banging Supreme Clientele shyt. I'll even take that dark, sad Ironman shyt. I can't with these hipster jazz bands and all. Someone find Juju and tell him to give Ghost a beat.

only Fish Scale impression in his discography is More Fish

Fishscale to me is when Ghost started rhyming on less 'active' beats in the hopes of being more 'straightforward' in the storytelling department. E.g. Beauty Jackson (which is a decent cut, no doubt) or "Shakey Dog" (which I never cared for) or "Whip You With A Strap" (again, never cared for this). It feels like Ghost just started rapping over old records with little-to-no manipulation on them in the beat department. And then it went from there to... well, lemme get someone who can actually play this stuff live.

Compare "Shakey Dog" or "Kilo" to "One" and "Child's Play". Supreme Clientele's way more active, playful, bouncier, grittier.... I miss that. To me, that's Ghostface at his finest.

It's like Ghostface is stuck in this 'smoky jazz lounge' 70s Blaxploiltation mode and has been there since 12 Reasons. I know there's always been elements of 70s shyt in Ghostface (and Wu in general) but it was rawer back then and they really took it beyond the old records. Whereas now I feel like Ghost is regressing. This is the 3rd album in a row that has this mellow, bland live instrumentation vibe, and I'm not fukking with it.

Where are those beautiful wyl out beats?!

I could be wrong. by all means educate a brotha. I'm just thinking out loud.
