here's the cover and Best Buy lists the release date as 12/14. I'm just curious if this is new shit or if it's another compilation slapped together in time for holidays. The title being a song from Supreme Clientelle does sort of worry me... no matter. I'll be getting it anyway. I love Ghostface so much.

I'm not a huge Jones fan, but I do like him. Harlem's American Gangster is amazing IMO. But I doubt Ghost would've put it on a real album if it was gold.

Did anyone dig the last Ghost album? I only heard a bit of it, I don't think I was into the sound he was going for with that album. This doesnt change the fact that he is one of my favorite clansmen. and he's one of my favorite rappers..
If I'm able to buy this, I definitely will.

I wrote a lot about it last year... he's pretty much my favorite rapper, so I bought it release day of course.

Pretty much -- it's not a great album. It goes for an R&B sound and all. BUT I think it's amazing becuz he had the balls to make it. And it's R&B like only Ghost would do. Super dirty and ridiculous. It's a really interesting album. Not nearly as bad as people made it out to be. Just not varied enough to be great. At any rate, if you "get" Ghost, then you should hear it to hear it. It's really something. haha.

I was about to post the same thing on here; isn't it weird to anyone else that the album title is the same as a song title from an album he released nearly a decade ago? Maybe he's referencing that song (which was even a single, with a cool video) because this is harkening back to the Supreme sound -- maybe using songs from that era?

What is probably most likely is something Beefheart and Zappa did.. forging some kind of thematic continuity between their latest work and older works. Zappa would constantly reuse lyrics from older songs in newer compositions -- reuse riffs, and namedrop old song/album titles in new stuff. Beefheart... let's see.. the song "Safe as Milk" wasn't on the album Safe as Milk -- the song "Dirty Blue Gene" was on Doc at the Radar Station said, "THE SHINY BEAST OF THOUGHT!"... but wasn't on Shiny Beast, the album (not even the original version of the album, before they re-recorded it as Bat Chain Puller). And there's a few more instances of this that aren't clicking with me at the moment, but take my word for it hhah.

Anyway, can't wait for this, been on a big Fish Scale/More Fish kick lately.

actually that's a really really good point atsonic. I think Ghost is an artist very in-tune to the concept of conceptual continuity. He's actually always done a lot of referencing his own shit throughout the years. Even one of his 2008 bsides collections was called Wallabee Champ which goes way back. And then there's the Ghostdeini The Great collection as well as adding Ghostdeini to the title of Wizard Of Poetry -- both of which harken back to Supreme Clientele of course. God I love Ghost. This is exactly why too. He's so interesting and crazy and invented his own mythos and everything. And considering his contributions to Wu-Massaacre I am so fucking pumped for a new album. That's the other thing I love about him -- you can pretty much always count on one or two new albums a year (even if some are bsides/outtakes/etc). He's just one of the ballsiest most enigmatic and interesting and artistically fearless rappers out there. Love him.

btw I didn't really stand out to me for some reason at first, but obviously the theme of this album is collaboration. I mean every track has guests. (apollo KIDS). And it's interesting to see the diversity. I mean the Wu are no surprise but to have Jim Jones, The Game and Black Thought on the same album is kind of awesome and weird.

vtw, I'm not sure if you all heard Ghostdeini The Great. it came out in 2008 and was a pseudo-Greatest Hits with some remixes/b-sides thrown in. It' nothing spectacular, BUT I should point out that it's the only place to get Ghostface Killah's Christmas song...... seriously.
