Over the two decades of Wu-Tang Clan's existence — spanning five official group albums, several dozen solo LPs, and countless compilations, releases from Wu-affiliated hangers-on, films, TV series, commercial endorsements, and various other multimedia ventures — the only one of the nine primary members to make it all this way with an entirely clean artistic record is Ghostface Killah. Part of the reason for that is Ghost is arguably the group's most gifted rapper (although if you'd like to argue the point at length, bring it up with pretty much any hip-hop head), but a lion's share of the credit goes to the fact that he's never evinced more than a passing interest in making music for anyone other than himself, which, combined with his own impressively high standards, has paid off in a string of almost universally lauded solo albums stretching back to 1996's Ironman that's possibly unequaled in rap history

Again, go out and support dope, creative hip hop. This is at worst a 4/5 album. The reviews have been overwhelmingly positive:

I did as well but my "The Rise of the Ghostface Killah" instrumental is not just the instrumental :(

Anyone else have that issue? I really wanted that instrumental :shaq2:

Album is hands down best of 2013 so far...how anyone isn't feeling this concept album is insane...I put it up there with American gangsta, live and let die, return of the Mac and other great concept storytelling albums

Goddamn that video is ill :wow:

Give my thoughts on the album tomorrow, on first listen I'd say it's dope, but I must let it sink in more. Adrian Younge production needs a few spins (had the same with that Something about April album) and the straightforward style of storytelling is new to me to be honest. (for a whole album that is)

i downlaoded the instrumental leak the other day & i checked it, it IS the proper instrumental on there so it seems like it was just a fukk up on Soul Temple's part with the pre purchase downloads. i can hook you up if you want

I bought it today. Didn't bother with the deluxe, because I don't need all that shyt :beli:

I did get used to Ghost's off-tempo cadence. I mean, it's a solid album. I only bought it, though, because I'm a Ghostface fan.
