SURPRISE SEQUEL TO INSTANT CLASSIC 'FISHSCALE' SET FOR DECEMBER 12 RELEASE ON DEF JAM RECORDINGSNew album highlights Ghost's crew The Theodore Unit and his son, Sun God"Ghostface remains perhaps the most lovable rapper in the world: a wounded warrior with raps to match his speeding heartbeat." - The New York TimesGhostface's emotionally charged stream-of-consciousness flow is as off-the-wall and amazing as it's ever been." - Rolling Stone"...as a must-hear street storyteller, he's still at the top of his game."- Entertainment Weekly"His voice is a gorgeous instrument, mellifluous even when he's yelling." - The New YorkerSomeone forgot to tell Ghostface Killah it's OK to rest on your laurels. Less than 10 months after releasing the most critically acclaimed album of the year - Fishscale - Ghost is back and as strong as ever with the surprising and equally stunning sequel, More Fish. Set for a December 12 release on Def Jam Recordings, More Fish finds Ghost on a creative roll, and picks up right where Fishscale left off - with the kind of raw, uncut, uncompromising, soulful street rhymes only Tony Starks can deliver.On Fishscale, The New York Times wrote: "When you get a new Ghostface Killah album, the only reasonable reaction is to get lost in it." Getting lost in More Fish, what's immediately striking is Ghost's artistic consistency; he continues to put out great music at an alarmingly prolific rate. Tracks like the Rakim inspired "Ghost Is Back," and the albums' first single - the dancefloor burner "Good" - bristle with energy, Ghost's legendary mic skills in top form. This time around, however, Ghost has a little help; the album showcases Ghost's longtime Staten Island crew, The Theodore Unit: Trife Da God, Cappadonna, Shawn Wiggs, and Ghost's 17-year-old son, Sun God - who's deep, gravely flow shows brilliant promise on tracks like "Miguel Sanchez" and "God 2 God."Revered in beat-junkie circles for his soulful, sample-heavy soundbeds, Ghost returns to the same well of underground producers who made Fishscale an instant classic. MF Doom mans the boards on "Cartoonz" and the Hardy Boys-themed "Stones From Greece." Madlib contributes "Untitled," while Pete Rock lays down "Chunky." On "Josephine," one of the album's standout tracks, Ghost laments life in the drug-addled projects over a deep, mid-tempo soul sample from Hi-Tek.While many in hip-hop mourn the passing of the glory days, More Fish is another classic album from one of the genre's true legends, and one of its greatest talents. But for Tony Starks, it feels easy - like shooting fish in a barrel. --> --> --> --> --> -->

Damn, thats not a good sign... I mean I like the three recent tracks I've heard from Ghost but too many appearances from the above would likely render it
i dont want my cab drivers quitting their day job and rapping...
Clearly, you value good rapping.
This is amazing. I am utterly unable to formulate a slick comment.
Is there such a thing as dyslexic hearing?
but he represents Park Hill and you can see his face on a $20 Bill! He can't figure a woman's physical degree but still loves her like he loves his dick size!!!!
Post up like paint on walls
Drip jewels, big heat
ruffle inside the bubblegoose
It's the Odd Couple
Hollow points follow you home to Staten Island
playin with the big toys that make noise
Echo in the hall, a scared voice
Niggaz start to act choice, but Duncan Hines
didn't know Betty Crocker had them two nines
Made the club moist, shattered the windows
Dustheads runnin (yo)
The rap kingpin bust the Black Jesus is comin
We tryin to get land riches and more
Ghost put me on to it
We just do it, floss or whatever
Take care of the business, there's too many roughnecks
Give two of these to Flex, tell him it's real rap like Ghost
Had to beat niggaz with toast
Clubs V.I. clientele we lay it down flat
Poot out on y'all kid, now where your mans at?
Fakin the real like, "Damn I can't stand Cappa'"
Then my wardrobe flooded the next chapter
Y'all heard about us like we heard about you
Bless the mic with reality, hit you with the virtue
Calm down not tryin to hurt you, burst through
That shit, fatter than all y'all niggaz outfits
We the glitch like Y2K
Catch the ball when it drop, guns pop, y'all have a nice day
He has your number, fakeurs.
I opened up my rap bible, then the light came
over the children, as it began to rain
I started buildin, spoke many times before
but didn't score, my reading was poor
Injected with the Devil's english, I extinguish
and approach all hominyms, shit in your brain
Wipe my ass with the phenonmenyms, be holy
or get shot down with the Moet-o, kid encyclopedia
Left y'all petrol, my dancehall standoff
rap like Peter Metro, echo echo, what?
Beware my psycho, lime piece tec-o leggo
Uniform flow, stay strong black my shit is real
Peace out bro
could cappa be as good if not better then lil dap and melachi?
i think it also had a CREAM remake that was like "god rules everything around me" or something like that
No, he did not.
He had a verse that was "remarkable" in the strictest sense of that word, i.e., it inspired a lot of people to remark "Is this fool ever going to stop?"
Okay, be for real--you made that one up, didn't you?
Park Hill projects, chicka-POW
One culture, return of the track slasher
Double doser, Cappadonna broadcaster
Strivin for perfection, the only way I got
my life back was through investin, devotion
Movin my soul toward the skit, vocabulary
comin out my ass like shit, to feed my babies[/b]
