Very fun album. Filled with light hearted songs (beats and rhymes) and comedy. Very underrated. If it was dark people would be hailing it as a classic but because its so happy go lucky like an old de la record, most wrote it off.

Easily the most under appreciated great wu album

The sun is the perfect opener

wouldn't say it sucks... it's just not SC. but the juks, strawberry, and the forrest had great beats.

it's not even Ironman. And while that's obvious, what I'm trying to say is Bulletproof (OG or not) is a major drop-off in quality for Ghost.

Juks and Strawberry beats are :russell: imo. The Forest is on a whole other level

I understand what you're saying breh and I half agree. There are cats that heard shyt like "The Forest" and said 'fukk all that.' They were never going to like the fun, light-hearted Ghost anyway.

But what about the people who can tolerate/enjoy that site of Ghost and were still disappointed? The Forest is probably the most lighthearted "out there" song and it's the best track on the album. BY FAR. Everything else just sounds like shyt in comparison.

My point is: Bulletproof (OG or not) doesn't even live up to its own premise.

It's funny because when it dropped, I thought it was one of Ghostface's weaker albums, I still do but the The Forest, Flowers, The Sun and Ghost Showers are great songs in their own right.

Even the OG Bulletproof sucks.

What I tell you 'bout them old New Balances?


This album was cool, but it was all over the place.

Still, love "Ghost Showers", "Theodore", "Strawberry", and "Never Be The Same Again"

Very dope album. Original and the retail. Was just Ghost having fun and the results are very positive. It has a couple of his most creative concept tracks (The Sun, The Forest...), a couple of the best Ghost/Rae tracks (The Hilton, Maxine), one of his best R&B mashups (Never Be The Same), and Good Times and a bunch of the other tracks are :banderas:


Only a fraud, contrarian f@ggot would try to sh!t on this album. Not on Supreme Clientele's level of quality (not very many albums are) but damn good nonetheless.

5 stars, dap and rep @MidnightMercenary :salute:
