A fish scale is what one uses to weigh coke with.
I never thought i'd say this but i'm a tad bored with the whole coke/mafioso rap thing. I'd rather Ghostface continue the righteous thug persona of "pretty toney" but perhaps add some of the of "supreme clientele" styled lyrical craziness than revert back to '95 "only built for cuban linx" coked out steez. If you've heard those weak new Raekwon tracks with the same ol' tired Scarface samples for "only bulit for cuban linx 2" then you'll know what i mean. I like to hear Ghost threatening and talking shit about other rappers on tracks and sex, drugs, money and guns are the 4 elementz of this rap shit, yo, but what i really wanna hear is more tracks like "childs play", "the sun", "holla", "love" and "my guitar"..tracks that only someone like Ghostface can do without them coming off trite. Certainly more interesting in '05 than another Gotti/Montana fantasy which he did to perfection years ago and has been played out by every shitbird N.Y rapper fronting like they sold coke for Alpo or Supreme on mixtapes since then.
I was feelin' his verse on A.Z's "new york" with Raekwon but the other new tracks of his i've heard haven't really hit me like Ghostface tracks usually do. Not sure if it's him or me, though.

GHOSTFACE KILLAH-Put It On The Line 2LP/CD+DVD (Full Clip/FCM6001)“Ghostface is back killing ‘em in the ‘05! Teamed up with the furious stylings of Trife Da God, Wu-Tang’s Wally Champ is taking heads with a 2LP/CD+DVD aptly titled Put It On The Line. The 2LP/CD features murderous material strapped with the grimy beats and ruthless deliveries that earned them the legion of fans that this disc was designed for. Although Ghost and Trife are all the listener needs, Kool G Rap swings through for a quick clinic on how to annihilate the marks and the narcs. Other guests include Raekwon, Slick Rick, and The RZA. On the DVD [with the CD only], you can witness over 40 plus minutes of live footage featuring Ghostface performing in NYC at BB King’s in early October 2005 (that’s right, October of this year) with the GZA, Cappadona, Masta Killah, Trife Da God, and many more Wu-Henchmen! Tony Starks is here!�

"The Champ", "Can Can", "Shakey Dot", "9 Mill Bros", "Kilos", all classic. I like every song (except the chorus to "Back Like That", but it's growing on me) and would definitely say that it's my personal favourite Ghostface album so far.
But each to their own.
― Erock LAzron, Monday, 27 February 2006 01:54 (nineteen years ago)
This will be really really overhyped but I do like the song about how he used to get a belt to the backside, that shit is good. I don't like how he fell into indie producer doldrums, it was better when he was doing his own thing.
I ran a mile to Daytona 500 today. SC is still his best.

Although the beat is good, its definitely Ghost that makes this one for me; this is like his All That I Got Is You-childhood details moments that sound so incredibly powerful, clearly his unique voice in the narrative, but its got a narrative.

GHOSTFACE KILLAHFishscale(Def Jam)With the crack trade making its hip-hop comeback, Ghost fashions a trend record that ranks with any Biggie or Wu CD. Morally, it's a retrospective—there's no attempt to convince us that he's still in the game or wants to return. But neither will he countenance doubt that he knows whereof he speaks. The stories are as vivid, brutal, and thought-out as any noir, with details that both encompass and surpass the wisdom of "pyrex scholars." This is a guy with a bald spot who likes cranberry Snapple, Larry King Live, and women who work for JetBlue. When he asks his boo to turn the flame down a little, he says thank you. His high wail renders extreme anxiety beautiful. And before the music settles into a powerfully souled and sampled Clan-type groove, its screeching intensity has a Nation of Millions feel. A PLUS

this part's kinda funny:
AVC: You were one of the first Wu-Tang Clan members to work with a producer other than RZA. How did that come about?
GK: Nothing, man. You gotta do what you gotta do. RZA don't gotta be making my beats all day. You gotta fuck around, spread your wings. RZA got fuckin' too many artists to put out on his own. I ain't gotta use him every time I make an album and shit. Yo, any good beats will do. There are mad people out there with good beats. That's like saying that you gotta fuck the same bitch all day. There's mad bitches outside, mad pussy out there, that's better than the pussy that you got. C'mon!
― Lukas (lukas), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 20:27 (nineteen years ago)
GK: A lot of old-school rappers. Rakim, Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane, Biz Markie, Slick Rick, Doug E. Fresh, Public Enemy, even NWA when they came out with their first album. Brand Nubian, A Tribe Called Quest, Gang Starr. All the Nice & Smooth. The whole list. It just goes on. The world was really, back then, rockin' the Fat Boys, Run DMC, Special Ed. Back then, everything was cool. Steady B from Philly. It was all good. All the old school. The whole Juice Crew. Roxanne Shante, EPMD, MC Lyte.
