Oh ok. Still, I tend to really dig her guest vocal appearances.
I'm sure 12 Reasons 2 will be good, but considering how much crap GFK took for recycling his formula on the excellent 36 Seasons, I think it would be advisable for our boy to focus on something different in 2015, and put off the sequel for another year or so.
I actually think 36 Seasons was a better rap album than 12 Reasons. The sound is more musically varied. But 12 Reasons was such an iconic record that it's impossible to think of "36" as a unique project.
I think it's time for Tony to drop a good old fashioned back-to-basics street rap epic. A game-changer, powered by flow and lyricism instead of lofty story arcs and multimedia fanboy/collector appeal.
I love Ghostface, as you all know. He's one of my top 5 emcees. He draws on a combination of gritty realism and fantasy, much like Wu-Tang Clan did before Rza's unfortunate decision to have the group castrated. So I am eternally thankful for GFK's imagination and ambition...
But now is not the time for a sequel to an Italo/mafioso/horror-Frenchy fantastique hybrid album that was practically remade in an soul-infused inner-city/crime noir/Comic book vigilante origin story motif just six months ago.
I'd like to hear GFK rapping with Inspectah Deck, Raekwon, Meth, maybe Danny Brown, possibly Freddie Gibbs. Doing his thing over some beats and samples, nixing the live instrumentation for a bit. A good old street opera.
Re-visit the world of 12RTD when people have had some time to *miss* it. That's what I say.
