Product Description

Amazon.ca

As the only Wu-Tang MC (outside of the GZA) to not record a lackluster solo release, Ghosface's third album comes with sky-high expectations. Ghostface continues to flow out of a sense of urgency, his cadence dripping with emotion on hot RZA-produced numbers like "Maxine." Ghost's exceptional storytelling abilities are intact; on "Never Be the Same" he confronts a former lover with Carl Thomas crooning on the hook. Likewise, on the awesome Alchemist-produced "The Forest" he builds a rhyme around popular fairy-tale characters. While sloppy hooks plague tracks like "Theodore" and "The Jucks" (pop your collar, huh?), it's the inane interlude skits and wildly uneven production that bogs down this release. By album's end you get the vintage Wu sound on "The Hilton"--grimy beats matched by Ghost's intense flow--and "Street Chemistry" boasts a remarkable piano loop mixed in with a sampled female voice, but it all comes a little too late. --Dalton Higgins

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Album April 29 2004
By The Djeli
Format:Audio CD
Not to be a down my man who wrote the "biography" of Wu, but Wu-Tang Forever came out early in 1997, not 98. It's only a year difference but it's important because after this is when Hip Hop came completely under Puffy's dominance with the death of Biggie. It is an essential year in Hip Hop. But Wu-Tang did not step back, the world did. However, many true admirers still followed their careers with the 98 release of "Tical 2000", Inspectah Deck's "Uncontrolled Substance", Wu affiliate Killah Priest's lyrically groundbreaking "Heavy Mental", Gza's 1999 "Beneath the Surface" and the infamous "Supreme Clientele". Immobilarity was just a little off, though it was ok. But there were plenty of ill Wu releases other than that.

4.0 out of 5 stars The birth of Pretty Toney April 21 2004
By Wayne Maye
Format:Audio CD
Ghostface does it again with this release, the largely slept on, but still excellent, Bulletproof Wallets. This album is a great album to listen to, as Ghostface is still on top of his game and continued to prove he's the most consistant of all the Wu members. The first time I played this album, I brushed it off to the side for A LITTLE while, but time and perspective have been so kind to me and this album. Here's the review:

Album Highlights: Everything here KNOCKS(which is usual for a Ghostface album, but the highlights are Maxine, Flowers, The Juks, Street Chemistry, Ghost Showers, The Forest, and The Hilton.

Production: Thumbs up. I don't know who was responsible, but whoever made the beat for "Street Chemistry" deserves their due. That beat is ILL.

Lyrics and Subject Matter: Thumbs up. Ghostface even goes on the storytelling route this time around, check out the song "The Forest."

Originality: Thumbs up.

The Last Word: Despite being slept on, this album is still a must have for LONG TIME Wu and Ghostface fans. He truly delivered on this album, and it shows. You might not know what he's talking about some of the time, but his flow and everything else in between makes up for it, and you can't ask for much more than that. I strongly recommend this album, and now I'm out to cop The Pretty Toney Album!!!!!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars This album is WEAK for Face April 20 2004
By El Smoksta
Format:Audio CD
What's the deal? Today his new Pretty Toney hit the stores, and I don't even know if I'm gonna get that cause Wallets was just plain JUNK. I mean honestly, how could you go from a classic like Supreme to Wallets? Not to diss on those of you who like this album, but hearing Ironman many a moon ago and then progressing, or should I say declining to this is just unacceptable for one of Wu's best lyricists. But, many of the other members of Wu have done the same. I hope to expect more from Ghost, but who knows. If you have ANY respect for the Wu, skip Wallets and bump Ironman or Supreme.

If any of you read my review of Clue's album, note I said Ghostface was wack. I've changed my opinion and now I think he's one of the best in this game today.
