that Dramatics song is so hard 
i remember playing that shyt through a PA system at a party zooted out of my fukking mind off god knows what and thinking it was the greatest song i ever heard and assuming everyone else felt the same. when it was over everyone was looking at me like
the fukk are we listening to
always thought it was a low key shot at puff and hitmen for just looping classics and making mase rap over them. like taking that attitude to an extreme and even removing the loop. the kay slay tape that had it, kay slay was noticeably silent compared to the other songs except for saying "ONLY GHOSTFACE COULD DO THIS...ONLY GHOSTFACE", which confirmed what i thought
stevie j redoing it mighta stomped that idea out tho, but im not sure when he did that, so it coulda been some collusion shyt
ironically the stevie version is dry as fukk and confirms my original theory of what ghost's point of the song was, beyond being a tribute to his homeboy

Cobra Clutch could've been a bonus song since he was still spitting that "I'm rhyming whatever comes into my head while I'm high" style at the time
Erick Sermon was the king of using the same samples over and over again but finding new ways of flipping them. His beats use to leave me in a trance. The beats were funky and laid back.
He had some of the best drums!
Absolutely. Don't believe it; all you have to do is listen to this

Woulda fit perfectly in Supreme Clientele.
The original beat for Ghost Deini is on that Swarm album also. It was first used by The Ruthless b*stards. So much better than the beat that made the SC album.

The original is the beat on the Canadian/Euro version

This album is prolly my favorite album to hit the gym and lift with, so it stays in constant rotation. Had no idea the anniversary was this week.
I was in D.C. last week in the hood and rolled up to a 7-11 with "Deck's Beat" blaring out the window at like 2AM and some cat standing outside was like "That's that old Ghostface sh*t, right?". Actually felt good that cats recognized and still appreciate real hip-hop when they hear it.
I was still in college when this album dropped. I wish I could find the video, but whatever video channel my old school used to play used to run interview promos of upcoming albums, and they had one of Ghost talking about recording SC and the direction he was taking with it, with playing bits and pieces of the tracks in the background during the interview, and I remember me and one of my people's bugging out when I seen him down at the bus stop the next time talkin about, "Yo, you hear the Nutmeg sh*t!!". This was about maybe a month or two before the album dropped, so there werent any snippets out yet, but just being able to hear the opening of Nutmeg for the first time had us anticipating the whole song like
This was also one of the last true Wu collective solo albums. Had contributions from just about the entire clan on there, plus affialiates like Sunz of Man.

Me Andy niccaz deciphered this entire album line for line
We were
Classic album, Ghost has the illest discography in the music industry, period.
On the low ever since MF GRIMM alluded to it I wonder if Rza/Ghost were inspired by DOOMSDAY for this. There's definitely some similarities.
but... but when you decipher it it make sense though

Im pretty sure that Kay Slay sh*t was from "Holla" feat. Allah Real, not "Wise". I had the same version of "Holla" with Kay talking on it. The song that didnt make the US version of SC with Ghost rhyming over The Dramatics is "Wise", dedicated to his man General Wise God Allah. He was Killarmy's manager before he got killed out in Steubenville.

I always crack up at the part where he's like "Ion een know, man." Like the thought of what was bout to happen to 50 was the most depressing shyt he ever conceived. "You just fukked up!
You fukked up BAD!
Ion even know, man.
