Ghostface - Fishscale...Classic or No?

[Billy Ocean]

A personal classic for me. This album really showcased Ghosts' unimitable creativity and MC ability. I mean dude had over 20 tracks and mostly all of them focused on differing subjects. Like...Disciplining your children (Whip You with a Strap), drug heist (Shakey Dog - a top 10 storytelling track of the past 10 years imo), black girls lost (Big Girl), single black mothers (Momma), underwater expeditions ( Underwater)....and on and on. And he executes them all in a fashion you wouldn't get from any other MC on Earth.

Classic, or No Classic?

 

[Yoda]

defenitly.

 

[SoulController]

it is to me, i can play that at any given time and only skip 1 track (hate the Dogs beat)

Be Easy and RAGU were some of the last truly great Pete Rock tracks, he got some great material from some legendary producers. if only someone would remix or clean up 9 Milli Bros, track was poorly recorded

[H.J.Duck]

It's a nice album.

[Hiphop Capo]

meh

 

[JayBaldacci]

he's been doing the same shyt since bulletproof wallets.

 

[Ruby'sRevolver]

Not a classic but really dope, its my 4th favorite Ghost album.

 

[Danie84]

Not a classic (and I'm a Ghost stan) but extremely dope. That Ne-Yo song brought the album down for me. I was geeked when I heard 9 Milli Bros for the first time. Madlib gave Ghost some fire to spit on.

 

[Big Mel]

Not a classic, but really dope.

 

[Plexxx]

not a classic, but i played the shyt outta this album when it came out. i need to give it another spin.

 

[Danie84]

It's perfect to play during the Winter.

 

[ManBearPig]

nah.

close tho. maybe in a few more years.

 

[mr. smoke weed]

one of the best albums of the 00s
