Dubbed by the New York Times "the most lovable rapper in the world: a wounded warrior with raps to match his speeding heartbeat," Def Jam artist - and Wu-Tang Clan ironman - Ghostdini (aka Ghostface Killah) returns under a new guise in 2009 as THE WIZARD OF POETRY, his 6th Def Jam album (and 10th major label album), in which he attracts an A-list of duet partners including John Legend, Fabolous, Raheem DeVaughn, Lloyd, Estelle, and others. The new album will arrive in the physical and digital marketplace on September 29th. The first single from the new album is "Baby" featuring Raheem DeVaughn. Leading up to the release of The Wizard Of Poetry, iTunes will be running a "Complete My Album" campaign. The first single "Baby" was released on August 18th. "Forever" was released on September 1st. On September 8th, the John Legend duet "Let's Stop Play'n" will be released, followed by Ghost and Fab's "Guest House" on September 15th. Throughout, Ghost sprinkles his trademark wit and charm over signature sample-based grooves and modern R&B tracks. A hip-hop icon for more than 15 years, Ghost's legions of fans have been tuning in to The World According to Pretty Toney long enough to know that "he doesn't so much deliver rhymes as narrate graphically detailed scenes, rife with violence, passion and a little humor," as USA Today stated. Along the way, Ghost has made a habit of enlisting duet partners on his singles and album tracks - Mary J. Blige, Missy Elliott, Jadakiss, Ne-Yo, and many others, including his WTC mates Raekwon, Method Man, U-God, and so on.

Who did Ghost make this for?
This album reminds of the deleted tracks off of good Ghostface albums that made their way onto mixtapes such as the Pretty Tony B-Sides. I'm just not sure what Starks was thinking on this one. I suppose Ghostdini is for the ladies. Problem is, that's not Wu-Tang's fan base. They'll be playing Cuban Linx 2. Thanks Rae. Sorry Ghost...
I guess this is technically a hip hop album, but let's get down to brass tacks here. This is an R&B album with GFK rappin on it. Don't get me wrong, I love R&B but this album just kinda struck me as 'wrong' for lack of a better term. I know, I know, GFK has always had songs for the ladies, but I'm just not buying that this album is what he's been leading up to or that he's grown up and this is grown folks music. I can only hope that this is not the re-invention of GFK, that this is a one-off and we'll get the real GFK on his next album.
As a music lover in general, I thought this album was okay. As a hip hop head since '85, I thought this album was wack. Cop this and then give it to your lady, she'll appreciate it more than any self-respecting hip hopper. C'mon Ghost, autotune? Really?
Ghostface Killah - the new Ladies Champ! Most Honest Hip Hop I've Seen in a While
It's about time we had a hip hop album approach women and issues of love in a possitive light. I'm not an emotional guy, but I could truly relate to the songs on this album. Ghostface is known for good music, and this album doesn't disappoint. Ghost is a poet!
this album is grown and open for discussion. men and woman who enjoy good music finally found their match. Ghost has done it again.
What more can I say. If you love his music just go buy the CD. Not his best release but it's still bangin. Must buy. |
