Always felt it was a bit overrated. The mixes vary from one song to another, felt like a mixtape in hindsight. Loved that he used different producers like Dilla, DOOM and Pete Rock. I'd give it a 4/5

I prefer BPW. Ghost was still in the Superb influenced era with a young Trife in the fold as well. Rhyming wild and shyt.

I definitely prefer Ghost on BPW over Ghost on Fishscale, but the beats on BPW were trash. I can't think of a single great beat on that album except for maybe "The Forest".

i even like the r&b stuff

Totally forgot about that joint. Not great, but OK sure. That and Forest. The rest.... nah.

Fishscale has RAGU, which is better than any track on BPW not called The Forest. Then you got The Champ, Underwater and Beauty Jackson.

Although, your points make me realize that Fishscale isn't a lot better than BPW. Either way, I never bump either album.

Fishscale is great but it marks the beginning of Ghost's music sounding more generic. His shyt started sounding a little too D-Block here and some of those verses could've been penned by Trife.

It's still dope as fukk though..........RAGU is probably the last classic song Pete produced. Some ill concepts and story tracks and those old DOOM beats fit Ghost perfectly.

Can't believe how much love this weed plate is getting on here :laff:

I bought this album and cried when I listened to it cause I thought I wasted 12 bucks.

I'm listening again though :manny:
