SUPREME and FISHSCALE is what I figured most would say.

NOONE said bulletproof wallets? come on...its not bad....theres some crazy shit on there, and it definitely makes sense as the bridge between clientele and pretty tony

I think BULLETPROOF WALLETS and BIG DOE REHAB are the weakest in his discography.

Yo, check these up top murderous
Snowy in the bezzle as the cloud merges
F.B.I. try and want word with this
Kid who punked out bust a shot uip in the becon
Catch me in the corner not speakin
Crushed out heavenly, U.G. rock the sweet daddy long fox minks
Chicken and brocolli, Wally's look stinky
With his man straight from Raleigh Durham, he recognized Kojak
I slapped him five, Masta Killa cracked his tiny form
E'rybody break bread, huddle around
Guzzle that, I'm about to throw a hand in your bag
Since the face been revealed, game got real
Radio been gassin niggaz, my imposters scream they ill
I'm the inventor, '86 rhymin at the center
Debut '93 LP told you to Enter
Punk faggot niggaz stealin my light
Crawl up in the bed with grandma,
beneath the La-Z-Boy where ya hid ya knife
Ghost is back, stretch Cadillacs, fruit cocktails
Hit the shells at Paul's Pastry Rack
Walk with me like Darthy tried to judge these
plush degrees, said the cow, wrap the fees
Gettin waxed all through the drive-thru
Take the stand, throw my hand all on the Bible
and tell lies too, I'm the ultimate
splash the Wolverine Razor Sharp ring, dolomite
student in role holdin it
Aiyyo, this rappin's like Ziti, facin me real TV
Crash at high-speeds, strawberry, kiwi
As we approach, yo herb, the Gods bail
These Staten Island ferryboat cats bail
Fresh cellies, 50 thief up in the city
We banned for life, Apollo kids live to spit the real
A pair of bright phat yellow Air Max
Hit the racks, stack 'em up Son, $20 off no tax
Street merchant tucked in the cloud, stay splurgin
Rock a eagle head, 6-inch height was the bird
Monday night Dallas verse Jets, dudes slid in with one hand
Two culture-ciphers, one bag of wet
Heavy rain fucked my kicks up
Wasn't lookin, splashed in the puddle
Bitch laughin, first thought was beat the bitch up
Mossied off gracefully, New York's most wanted tee-ball hawk
Seen the yellow brick road, lust of pastries
Same Ghostface, holy in the mind
Last scene: Manhatten Chase
We drew the six-eight digit in the briefcase
Rawness, title is Hell-bound
Quick to reload around faces, surround look astound

This one blew me away when it first came out.

^ I love Fishscale. But as previously mentioned, PRETTY TONY is really my fav. So this one was kind of not as good to me when I first got it. Don't get me wrong. It's great, but the multiple producers makes it have a more scattered feel than the very thematic-ness of PT.

I have a twelve inch with this and some stuff from bulletproof wallets on. great tune. quite bonkers.

The best part in "The Sun" is when he says "You can't stare at him long, cos your face'll do like this"... the way he is basically saying "look at my face to see what I mean" and you can actually visualize that without thinking about it. Y'know? That to me is a perfect example of why GK is an amazing lyricist.

Iron Man>Pretty Tony>Supreme>Fishscale

which is fine, and really doesn't make yr point.

I think it explains my point perectly: every album after supreme contains songs written specifically to acheive pop chart success. For example - Tush, Back like that, Never be the same again, Ghostshowers.. etc etc.... Ghost admits this himself. It's RapnBullshit which is a shame considering the wu were against such fucking tripe. Sad hypocrites

Whatever you say. Though "Tush" is a (somewhat) weak track, PRETTY TONY is a brilliant record. I'm not missing out on anything, so...

not a ghost album, but his rap on "cash still rules", first time I heard that it gave me chills (how it just cuts out)/

I listened to "Supreme Clientele" along with the other Wu Tang records literally almost daily in high school. Nothing was better than aimlessly driving around stoned as shit listening to those records.

"Nutmeg" is one of hip hop's great opening tracks.

If we're doing Ghostface raps on other Wu album, I frequently am just ASTOUNDED by how good he is on I Can't Go To Sleep, especially in the video, where you can see him apparently on the verge of tears as he spits. Love love love that track.

ive really only heard 2. iron man and big doe rehab.

i love iron man but big doe rehab is weak aside from yolanda's house which is one of my most favorite hip hop songs ever.

i generally hate it when people make beats with electric guitars trying to get that rock sound. hate it. there are a few of those on big doe...

also the beat that uses the i will survive sample(?) on big doe rehab. i cant even get through the first 10 seconds of that.

ill have to check out all of the other ghost face records that yall have been mentioning.
