Albums Ghostface Killah x Big Ghost - The Lost Tapes (Discussion Thread) [Deluxe Vertsion Now Out]

[Billy Ocean]

I always forget about that one even though Yolanda's House is one of the best Ghost tracks in the last 15 years. I was more a fan of 8 Diagrams at the time although I'd imagine Big Doe Rehab has aged better

Yea, Big Doe Rehab aged VERY well. Great album from start to finish. And 8 Diagrams is criminally shytted on.

I get why more and more artists are doing this "limited supply" shyt, but I feel like this whole DAUPE! model is becoming a bit silly.

This whole Griselda/Roc Marci shyt, and I fukks with all of them, of bragging about selling out in a day but they're only offering 150 pieces is a lot of that doesn't impress me at all. And their views/streams+venues aren't impressive either so it's a lot of smokescreens on how big they really are.

Gotta disagree. If you make sure your product is scarce - the demand for it will last longer. Also - in an age where everything is accessible to everyone via the internet, that exclusivity is damn near the only way to keep that illusion of being 'underground', which is the exact aesthetic cats like Roc and WSG seem to want attached to their music.

I look at Daupe like the company that distributes arthouse flicks to tiny niche theaters. Not every movie is meant to be shown in the multiplex

It sure is. That Raekwon interview with Miss Info didn't help that album and there's definitely some questionable songs but it's only a few meanwhile Windmill is one of the best Clan tracks ever

Yea, 8 Diagrams is easily their 4th best effort, just right after The W. Album is dope as fukk. I agree about Windmill. That RZA beat

sounds decent so far. i had way low expectations so its off to a good start.

i wonder about where some of the vocals came from tho and when they were recorded...

Killah Priest rapped about deleting his Myspace page in his verse

You sound like a fakkit. These niche artists and labels are the only people delivering rap music to the 500 people left on earth who actually know what good rap sounds like and you’re here talking streams and numbers.

Like uncle, like nephew

Reading is fundamental.

Not gonna fuxk with this project. It's a cheap money grab. Reminds me of the low effort projects that would be released on LandSpeed or Koch for $18. Doing this kind of shyt is gonna kill this lane they created.

Took the Bird off my Arm cuz the shyt kept Bitin me

...2 more street joints, then love and eath introspective album from GOATface:

Wait. that was really Trip-Hop Tricky at the end of the bonus remix song

I aint mad at ghost. Rn this is how you make money. Its a shame really but it is what it is. Im sure other presses will he abailable. Youll be able to listen to it if you want it.

Ghost is certified. More so than any mc on earth. He literally dont have to drop another thing and he will still be my goat. Im just happy with a few joints.

Ghost got like 5 - 5 mic albums attached to his name between his rae and wus material.
And Like 15 - 4 mic or better albums.

Dudes talkin bout doom. Its on doom why we never got doom/starks. Dude dont even show up to perform wit ghost. Sends video. He pimped out his proruction long time ago.

Edit: listened to a few so gs. Way better than i was expecting.

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

after finally listening all the way thru this is a 3/5. its ok.

^^^^^

Ghost is completely washed. Has been for years. That said. I did here some shyt he did with my associate who did beats on the Killah Priest double album that sounded CRAZY. like legit Ghost stuff. He was on beat. Voice was tracked properly. Beats were banging. Sad thing is, they probably won’t ever come out.

Why won’t those drop?

 

[TheLostOnes]

From what I've listened to so far....this is a solid project. Done it again

 

[TheLostOnes]

That random auto tune on Cold crush is off putting though
