10 Years on... Fishscale revisited

[We Major]

So, this week marks 10 years since the release of Ghostface Killah's album Fishscale, 28th March 2006.

Now I know this has been debated on here as to how highly the album is thought of but to me it's a personal classic. This album opened up the whole of Wu-Tang to me (I was late to the genre in general). Ghost's name, the album cover and album title caught my eye and I bought Fishscale at random.

Shakey Dog good lord.

Kilo, that infectious hook

The Champ which completes this 3 track run

Some of the skits on the album

I've always loved Three Bricks too

I don't think there's a weak track on the album, there's stuff that I have to be in the mood to listen to but they're not weak to me.


As a sidenote - T.I,'s King also came out on the same day.

 

[Columbo]

Columbian exchange, ragu and barbershop

Its a classic from beginning to end. This came out of nowhere too from what I remember, and I think it cost $7 at best buy

10 years though...

I've given Fishscale one full spin since it came out. I remember not liking the album much, and surprised at the acclaim (coming mostly from new Ghost fans).

I'll give it another spin.

 

[Burger King]

OG cover

 

[DeuceCypherUno]

this is one of those albums that sounded just as good as it looked on paper. Half the album is DOOM, Dilla and Pete Rock and all 3 delivered. None of the songs from the aforementioned were below an 8.5/10 for me. Just Blaze also went hard with the Champ. Great album that has held up 10 years later.

 

[THE 101]

The last truly great Ghost album.

 

[Deltron]

More Fish was a good followup too

 

[DoomzdayzV]

this album made Ghost a hipster favorite. I didnt like it at all in 2006.....I gave it another listen about a year ago, its a great album.

 

[Blackout]

He even had MF Doom produce some tracks

 

[SonnyDecay]

kilo is a thousand grams easy to remember

 

[THE 101]

Those DOOM beats were dope but I was mad they were old shyts.

 

[mobbinfms]

Loved it back then. Best album of 2006.
Listened to it again a year or so ago and it's still

 

[The Jewnited States]

Album is dope as fukk. Can't believe it's been 10 years

Kilo is so incredibly good.
