 A hip hop album even R&B fans will love

For years, Ghostface Killah mulled over the idea of doing an R&B album. Dabbling in R&B is nothing new to Ghostface, after all on his 1996 debut album "Ironman" he collaborated with Mary J. Blige and the Force M.D.'s. On the one hand, this was a theme that was prevalent in his music, as he worked with Amy Winehouse, Ne-Yo, Jodeci, Musiq Soulchild and Carl Thomas. On the other hand, people were understandably skeptical being that everyone knows what happened the last time a rapper made an R&B album (The atrocity known as Big Daddy Kane's "Prince Of Darkness" comes to mind). In 2009, he releases the album "Ghostface The Wizard Of Poetry In Emerald City", a heavily influenced R&B album that comes as a surprise to no one. The album has a wide range of guest appearances such as Raheem DeVaughn ("Do Over" and "Baby"), Fabolous ("Guest House"), John Legend ("Let's Stop Playin'"), and even Adrienne Bailon of The Cheetah Girls ("I'll Be That")!!! Even Lloyd makes an appearance on the album sounding rather Michael Jackson-esque on the song "Goner". There are a couple of setbacks on the album, however. The club ready "She's A Killah" is the musical equivalent to fingernails on a chalkboard and the three year old remix to "Back Like That" is unnecessary. The amusingly raunchy "Stapleton Sex" seems out of place and temporarily ruins the flow of the album. For the most part, it's a good album from Ghostface, a lot better than I thought it would be.

| I am loving this album. I am a huge GFK supporter, he is still my favorite Clansmen. Buy the album, you won't be disappointed. |

 Who did Ghost make this for?

| This album reminds of the deleted tracks off of good Ghostface albums that made their way onto mixtapes such as the Pretty Tony B-Sides. I'm just not sure what Starks was thinking on this one. I suppose Ghostdini is for the ladies. Problem is, that's not Wu-Tang's fan base. They'll be playing Cuban Linx 2. Thanks Rae. |

I guess this is technically a hip hop album, but let's get down to brass tacks here. This is an R&B album with GFK rappin on it. Don't get me wrong, I love R&B but this album just kinda struck me as 'wrong' for lack of a better term. I know, I know, GFK has always had songs for the ladies, but I'm just not buying that this album is what he's been leading up to or that he's grown up and this is grown folks music. I can only hope that this is not the re-invention of GFK, that this is a one-off and we'll get the real GFK on his next album.
As a music lover in general, I thought this album was okay. As a hip hop head since '85, I thought this album was wack. Cop this and then give it to your lady, she'll appreciate it more than any self-respecting hip hopper. C'mon Ghost, autotune? Really?
Ghostface Killah - the new Ladies Champ! |
