Ghostface Is Back With His Bulletproof Flow

Advantages: Smooth beats, and lyrics from the best lyrical writer in the Wu Tang!
Disadvantages: Old fans of Ghostface won't enjoy the R 'n' B tracks

...world. This was followed by Supreme Clientele, and again Ghostface did not fail to deliver in this LP in which he showed his ability to mix traditional hip hop rhymes and new skool charisma to create songs that both fans of Wu Tang and new skool would thoroughly enjoy. It was indeed a challenge to make a third album that would not disappoint its two predecessors and no doubt, Ghostface put a lot of effort into this album. The album is basically the ...
...of beats as were on Supreme Clientele. This is why I strongly recommend this album to anyone that has thought of buying Ghostface Killah’s albums who doesn’t previously own any. The bridges on the album are varying. There are a wide range of them ranging from R ‘n’ B ones as we can see in Love session whereas Walking Through The Darkness sees Ghostface mixing old skool style choruses with new skool rapping patterns. This variation really adds flavour ...

Review of Supreme Clientele, The [PA] - Ghostface Killah

The Big Doe Rehab

Advantages: Hip Hop Legend Lyrics
Disadvantages: Not the old ghostface

...bright to be dimmed; The Big Dough Rehab easily picks up where Fishscale left off. "At The Cabana Skit" kicks off The Big Doe Rehab the right way. Ghost has a knack for being a comical tuff guy, via his interludes and skits, and his personality shines bright on this one. After some light-hearted lyricism on the opening skit, Ghost gets down to business. Beanie Sigel stops by on "Toney Sigel AKA The Barrel Brothers," and the lyrical jabs from both ...
...this time around that element is missing. With that factored into the equation, this may be why the ladies aren't loving Ghost this time around. The bottom line is that if you are a fiend for grimy beats and grizzly word play, then check yourself into The Big Doe Rehab. ...

Review of Big Doe Rehab, The [PA] - Ghostface Killah

Definitely not the film soundtrack!!

Advantages: One of the strongest Wu solo albums, eclectic and soulful mix of influences
Disadvantages: A couple of weaker tracks which let the side down

...Wu Tang's first album and Ironman was very well recieved, with two fairly successful singles, reaching number 1 in the US Hip Hop Charts and number 2 in the overall billboard charts. The album is primarily a Hip Hop album, so inevitably, there's lots of rapping. Although it is heavily influenced by Soul and Funk and is also heavily influenced by film and media references. Ghostface has a very lively and confident presence as a vocalist and feeds ...
...sites. I recommend this to any fan of Wu Tang, anybody who fancies themselves as a Hip Hop connoisseur, anybody who is is to soul or funk or just people with a diverse music taste. Ironman is a very strong album and its strong points greatly outweigh its flaws. ...

Review of Ironman - Ghostface Killah

Rudolph The Funky-Soul Reindeer? It Gotsta Be Boosty, Baby

Advantages: The Funk
Disadvantages: Few songs sound 'Christmas'y'

...2006 and came as a Christmas album from Funk legend Bootsy Collins (known for his work as a bassist in The J.B.'s, Funkadelic, Parliamnet and Boosty Collins' Rubber Band). It finds him bringing his own P-Funk twist on a variety of Christmas hits in that style as well as Hip Hop and Soul as we get him producing and singing with guest appearances from Gary Shider, Fred Wesley, Bernie Worrell and Snoop Dogg. 1.“N-Yo-City” Starting the album we see that ...
...**Four Stars** 2.“Merry Christmas Baby” Here we find that we get a track that brings the Funk out in a way that you really wouldn't have ben able to anticipate (even with the introductory cut) as we see that here we have synth joining some live instrumental bass work from his brother Catfish Collins, and Boosty himself makes his first apparent on the record by coming to deliver a fly hook and half-developed verses that take you back to the times ...

Review of Christmas Is 4 Ever - Bootsy Collins

The Eminem Show - by Eminem

Advantages: Great quality music, lots of songs to suit your mood
Disadvantages: Couple of poor songs, controversial if you're not into this music

...Movie World of Reviews. The Eminem Show is probably the only album I feel I know well enough to write about, so here goes. Rap artist Eminem has been around for over a decade now. He burst into the hiphop/rap scene and created massive controversy and faced ridicule for being a white rapper, fighting against all the black artists such a P. Diddy, D12, Jay-Z, 50 Cent and Dr. Dre, just to name a few. He began his music life releasing The Slim Shady ...
...Slim Shady, another nickname. Eminem released The Eminem Show in 2002. It sold over a million copies very quickly, and was a bit more playful than his latest two albums (mentioned above). The Slim Shady/Marshall Mathers LPs were very serious, about guns, suicide, killing, how much he hates his mum and family and wants them dead (not nice..), and how he hated other artists. The Eminem Show's first released single was 'Without Me'. In the video of ...
