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

[KingsOfKings]

Did the streaming era strike again and have this removed only to bring it back? I saw Apple Music having this as a “new release” when I know I’ve been listened to this years ago.

Idk

Too bad m80 is involved, he is trash.

its a shame that he cant stay back and just handle business, cuz hes extremely good at the behind the scenes moves. but then he wanted to be an artist and got mad when dudes told him he was wack

He literally ruined mad songs with that shytty delivery. He also takes people verses and and uses them on projects behind the artist back.

60 second assasin didn’t deserve that meh album.

i think alot of that was Chuck over at Babygrande, not saying 80 never did that but he has a pretty solid rep as an a & r. Chuck was the one that was screwing Bronze/Jedi etc

Could be , I know 80 was specifically asked about reusing Shabazz verse, putting rza’s name on war zone and using Killah Priest almighty solo song. He gave vague blow off answers about it.

As long as 80 has no verses on it then it’s all good.

I don't know why people continue to deal w/ M-80.

M-Eighty told Ghost and RZA that he thinks that this album is one of Ghosts Top 5 ever

Ghost picked the beats and gave M-Eighty these throwaway (at least from the snippets and 2 dropped songs) verses:



If this shyt turns out wack, I'm blaming Ghost.

Is Ghost himself even promoting this?

Sounds like he never even knew it existed

This the email I got from Ghost (or his team) this morning:

Peace Peace

Much love and respect to all my die hard fans for sticking with me thru all my side projects and extra work I been doing.

I love and thank ya’ll.

Between traveling, shows and life itself I had to push my personal projects to future dates.

But don’t sweat it peoples, I’ve been pulling my favorite joints and the best ones outta all the work and putting it into my ghostfacemusic files for my solo projects.

Coming in 2019 I’ll have that fire fire fire for you.

Also been working on this WuTang album too for all the Wu Tangers waiting on that.

Love is Love
Ya boy Tony aka Ghostdini
Mr. Ghostface Killah


Sounds like Ghost definitely considers this a side project and that the official Ghost shyt will be dropping in 2019. Let's see.

This is not a real Ghost album and shouldn't be treated as such. I told y'all earlier in the thread that Ghost gave M-Eighty a few quick verses (most likely he did in less than a half hour) for a quick bag and M-Eighty slapped them on some Big Ghost beats and threw some other rappers on it. Ghost has very little to do with this and the rollout for it. He's not even in the one video released for the project (just clips of him performing at one of his shows). The promotional art for it is even some old Ghost pictures that are photoshopped.

Also...THIS IS NOT A LOST TAPES PROJECT. Another duplicitous marketing ploy by M-Eighty for sales. None of these are old Ghost verses. These verses were most likely done in the midst of one of Ghosts' lengthy tours recently, hence the super hoarse voice. A true lost tapes Ghost album would be a fukking classic.

I just finished listening to the project and it's not as bad as I thought it would be. After listening to the snippets and first couple released tracks I thought I was gonna HATE it. The standouts are the cuts with Planet Asia, the Big Daddy Kane joint and the one with Rae. Project is a decent quick listen.

My biggest issue with this is that Ghost should be more concerned with his brand. He shouldn't be selling throwaway verses and have his name marketed on projects like these. He even knows this project is half assed that's why he hasn't really been promoting it and even sent his fans emails recently that his REAL projects are coming soon. His emails to fans are few and VERY far between. I posted one of the emails earlier, here's the other:

Peace peace -

Yo Don’t think I forget about my list.

I still got the free song n visuals coming.

The new Ghostface solo joint is dropping in early 2019 on Ghostfacemusic.com

Got the new Merch about to drop too on there.

Keep your ear n eyes open. Guaranteed u gonna love it.

Real shyt for the Die Hard Gfk Fans .. Ghostface gear to Represent How your feeling...


One
P tone a.k.a The killah with No Face

^ Doesn't even mention this project and tells dudes his new album is dropping in 2019

LOL @ ruining “Cold Crush” with that horrid ass autotune at the end.

E-40 didn’t know what to do with the “Saigon Velour” beat

Cause E-40 didn't lay his verse to that beat

what a fukking delusional egomaniac

is this a ghost album or a m80 album????

I dont think Ghost handpicked the beats for this, I dont think that grabbler M80 even told him about this project, Ghost never mentions this album in either email, the only instance I can find of this album being discussed while Ghost is present is this Bootleg Kev interview where he asks him about it and Ghost has no clue about the album and says he never worked with Big Ghost Ltd, later midway through the clip Kev finds the album online and then Ghosts brain deduces it must be something related to M80


Fitting that this album is brought up via a comvo about bytch ass Cilva Rings who ghost didn't even know his name word to Chelsey
