Favorite Ghostface album?
 
Mine is definitely PRETTY TONY. That record is so unique and perfect. it's sister-album, 718 (recorded with the Theodore Unit) is also great.

I've only heard Fish Scales and More Fish.

the tune with missy is great but of the 5 or 6 ghostface records i've got it is to my mind his weakest.
my favourite is supreme clientele

I'm only really familiar with Supreme Clientele, so I'll go with that.

you need to re-listen. The Missy track is okay, but "Biscuits," "Save Me Dear," "Bathtub," "Run" and on and on. It's a great album that I feel like a lot of people didn't really get on first listen, and then tossed it aside.

Obviously I love IRONMAN, SUPREME, and FISHSCALE... but this one blew me away.

wellcharge 06.03.2009 05:46 PM

supreme clientele by far

pretty tony is really good, but i remember in the months prior to it's release alot of really good tracks leaked that ended up getting cut due to sample issues
i like biscuits,kunta fly shit,beat the clock,metal lungies,it's over,holla,be this way(!!!!!) ,run and love. I dig the philly soul vibes on it

718 is pretty good too, i didn't know it existed until i saw it in the new releases section, i dig it but i'm not into trife and he's on almsot the whole album

noisereductions 06.03.2009 06:43 PM

wellcharge, a lot of those leaked tracks ended up (some with alternative titles) on HIDDEN DARTS: SPECIAL EDITION.

i love all those little tracks with no choruses that surround tush on pretty tony
and holla is one of the best ghost tracks ever

noisereductions 06.03.2009 06:52 PM

dude "Bathtub" is ridiculous... "if she diss me again I'ma fuckup her Benz"

NWRA 06.04.2009 01:40 PM

Supreme Clientele. The only one that I can listen to from start to end, without any filler (well, maybe a skit or two). I love all of the RZA beats on it too (especially on the near enough full-group track) and that isn't always the case on the later, solo albums. BTW did the Ghostface song Sunshine ever come out anything? my favourite track of his, think it was supposed to be on Bulletproof Wallets but wasn't (sample issues, no doubt).

noisereductions 06.04.2009 02:22 PM

yeah "The Sun" is on a couple of his albums... it's on PUT IT ON THE LINE which was the Ghostface/Trife album. And then it ended up on HIDDEN DARTS: SPECIAL EDITION (along with some other sample-troubled outtakes).

davenotdead 06.04.2009 02:28 PM

supreme clientele.

Haha probably one of my problems with finding it is that I've been thinking it was called Sunshine. Thanks for the info.!

noisereductions 06.04.2009 05:12 PM

Yeah, a lot of the titles changed too... probably since the original titles were marred with sample-clearance issues, so they were changed slightly to fly under the radar on these indie label releases. For instance, "My Guitar" became "Black Cream." "Box In Hand" became "When You Walk." etc.

Supreme only for Buck 50 and only for the supercalifragilistic flip line.

cuneyt81 06.05.2009 12:27 PM

Supreme Clientele, easily. Though Fishscale is really good.
