This compilation is amazing! Ghost at his finest!

2 Phurcat August 25, 2008 at 12:14 pm

This is nasty, but you forgot one of the hottest Ghost songs; “The Barrel Bros.” featuring Beans

3 Thomas August 25, 2008 at 12:18 pm

This one we wanted that “story telling” Ghost. We have three more comps for this week one which will include the “The Barrel Bros”.

4 Kevin August 25, 2008 at 12:39 pm

Yeah, we should probably make it clear that THIS IS NOT a “Best of” compilation.

5 Thomas August 25, 2008 at 9:27 pm

To me “Impossible” is one of Ghost best verses ever. Its up there with “Buck 50″, “The Game” (from Pete Rock Soul Survior”, and “4th Chamber”. What yall think?

6 Tokyo Cigar August 25, 2008 at 9:43 pm

Word up. I remember that the source voted ghost on impossible as the best verse of 97.

Ghostface did body that pete rock joint. “mc ultra/ high brolic bank roll alcohol vulture/” he just went in ( P and Rae as well damn that joint was dope )

Fly compilation. I like the way yall stacked up the shakey dog saga together. Maxine is my joint too. When they kids threw the dude out the window i was like WHOA!

Thanks Tokyo. We tried to sequence the tracks so they flowed together.

If we could do it over might add “One” and/or something from Cuban Linx….maybe “Rainy Dayz”. He’s one of the best story tellers that the game has seen. He’s up there (imo) with Nas, Slick Rick, Scarface, B.I.G.. I know I’m forgetting someone, but those are the ones that come to mind right now.

The humor, imagery, and twisted plots are Ghost staples. “Yolanda’s House” is great because Ghost, Mef, and Rae seem so comfortable on the track and together. Ghost running up on Mef while he’s bangin his chick is hilarious.

I feel you. All those cats got classic stories for days ( especially Nas i also think Raekwons up there on that level too )but Ghost spitting the way he does puts you in the scene with him. When hes rhyming he goes so hard it’s like it’s happening right there as he’s saying it.

A great cuban kinx era story from Ghost was Knuckle headz. Verbal intercourse had an extra ill scroll from ghost about being locked up ( it’s crazy cause he wound up getting locked later on in real life ) but i think knucleheadz was chunky cause of the line he compared bricks to disco breaks. LOL

I cant get it from Rapidshare… Some strange message – Can someone put it up on zshare or something ?

The most consistent artist with albums in hip hop’s history. Has never released a wack lp. He should be mentioned in the Top 5 of all time. The slang, aura(slang swag is dead!), lyrics, beat selection. The total package of an MC

11 trapperjohnmd August 26, 2008 at 11:55 am

Also Angeles with MF Doom could’ve been included although it isn’t a official release

12 trapperjohnmd August 26, 2008 at 12:50 pm

Whip Me With A Strap is also classic Ghost storytelling

13 juiceville December 4, 2008 at 6:13 pm
