On the real, I gotta say with ABT, 36 Season and Phryme all dropping within days (i fukks with em all).....

.... i just can't stop playing 36 Seasons.

I like the change in tempo to the album from around the midway point, it fits in with the detail of the story

Props to The Revelations, Ghost and every dam feature on this album .... everyone came correct and put together a fantastic album.

Ay, I can't knock you giving it a 4.25 bro. It's a really, really nice album. The only reason I don't have it as my AOTY is because there really was some nice projects that dropped this year, a year full of mediocre projects. Ras Kass/Apollo, Freddie Gibbs/Madlib, Run the Jewels 2, Cormega...ALL DOPE albums. I think I'm leaning towards Pinata as my AOTY.

yea those 4 albums were sick- but i think i gotta give it to mega for aoty

Ghost is SICK and Tired of Police Brutality Bullsh!t:


It was a big week forGhostface Killah. In addition to the new Wu-Tang Clan album, A Better Tomorrow, which was released on Tuesday, Tony Starks is preparing to drop his 11th studio album,36 Seasons, next Tuesday. Themost recent solo offering by the Iron Man is a concept album with a movie-like story, lush instrumentation by the Revelations, and an accompanying 20-page comic book.

But this was also one of the worst weeks in recent memory for race relations in America. With the St. Louis County grand jury's decision not to indict the officer who shot and killed Michael Brown barely in the rearview, this week a Staten Island grand jury also declined to indict the police officer who killed Eric Garner with an illegal chokehold.

With Ghostface Killah hailing from the streets of Shaolin, I thought I'd call him up to get his opinion on everything that's been going on.

VICE: What's your opinion on Ferguson and all the other stuff that's been happening?
Ghostface Killah:
The cop was wrong. The cop was dead wrong. And I feel like justice should be served. I believe that he should go to jail. You killed an unarmed teenager, you shot him six times. You could have had a chance to use your little tasers and your little batons and all that other shyt on him before you shot him six times.

They should just put that Darren Wilson in jail, B. And that's for all the police officers out there. I don't care if you're black or white. With senseless killing like that, you should go ahead and do your time. That's what I feel.

What do you think about the demonstrations that have been happening?
I mean, they're mad, man. You can't tell someone that's angry—you done took someone's baby away—that they're supposed to sit down and just chill out. I'm not telling anybody to get up and just go riot, but you don't know what they're feeling. You know what I mean?

It's like, enough is enough. It's bad enough that we did 400 years of slavery. And y'all motherfukkers are still doing the same shyt. Y'all still killing motherfukkers like it ain't nothing. Choking motherfukkers out. So I feel that whatever they feel out there, in Ferguson, in Staten Island, wherever, that's on them. Let them do whatever the fukk they want.

These cops, they're just getting away with a bunch of shyt. Since they got a little gun on them, they feel like they're superior, like they're the kings of this shyt. It's like, Yo, man, you're dealing with people's lives right now, B. Right now, I don't even give a fukk. I'm tired of this shyt, too.

Do you think the situation with police brutality is getting better or worse?
Man, listen, this shyt is fukked up everywhere in the United States. It's like, whatever happened back in the day, it's the same shyt right now. Rodney King shyt, slavery shyt, this was happening when Martin Luther King was out...

Y'all motherfukkers are killing nikkas. You used to hang us, now you just shoot us. But it's the same shyt. And it ain't getting better. How could [George Zimmerman] kill Travyon Martin and then just come home? Motherfukkers choking out grown men on Staten Island, then motherfukkers can just come home? What's really good? And then you ask me is this shyt getting better? What do you think?



I think the police are fukked up.
That's right. It'd be different if a black man killed a white child. If a black policeman did that to some white motherfukker, y'all would throw the book at him. But I never even heard of a black cop killing somebody like that. Not me. It might have been done before, but I can't remember it. But y'all know what y'all would do to that black cop. So it's like,Yo, why don't the lives of our kids matter as much as yours?

If you ask me, I think it should be an eye for an eye. On everything. You kill me? Somebody kills you. My perspective is like Malcolm X's. You know what I mean? It ain't time to be marching around when people are dying. If it's on, then it's on. Let's strap up and do what we gotta do.

I'm not gonna be out there marching. Martin Luther King did the marching, with all due respect, because he wanted the peace so bad. But it's like, these motherfukkers, they don't respect peace . They respect violence. Until then, you gonna keep going for peace and justice and [get nothing in return.] While they're looking at you laughing. You know they're gonna do it again and again and again and again.

Speaking of Malcolm X, I know you were originally with the Five Percent Nation, and then you converted to traditional Islam. What was the thought process behind that?
It was just going to Africa. You go to Africa and you see how things are over there. Spiritually, it opens you up. I thought about it. There's only one God, man. What you believe is what you believe. The Five Percent Nation, it's still Islam, but I just wanted to go back to what I felt was right. My roots. My heritage. Because that's what black people are over there. Where I'm originally from, it's all Muslims.

What can your fans expect from you in the future?
Just look out for that Blue & Cream, the sequel to Supreme Clientele. It's almost finished. I'm trying to see if I can release it sometime in August, September 2015, somewhere in the fourth quarter. I got Twelve Reasons to Die part two coming out. And I'm with Raekwon, and we're gonna do this third Only Built 4 Cuban Linx album. There's a whole lot of stuff. I got books full of music.

Double post but also if Ghost takes what he's done here and applies it to 12 Reasons To Die II then we have a problem. If Adrian Younge is producing it then I plea with him to listen to this album and tweak how he did 12 Reasons To Die.
