This shouldn't touch off the 5 page- Clipse war. Again, y'all will know some of this stuff (like, this is how a Wu-Tang beat sounds...) but its not written for you or me; more, the average New Yorker reader.Anyway, great article on Fishscale and Ghostface in general. Sasha Frere-Jones has made their music criticism 1000 times better. enjoy.http://www.newyorker.com/critics/music/articles/060320crmu_music

    Thanks for this. The world needs more people like Ghostface. And Sasha Frere-Jones. This is a so much better read than the average hip hop article it's not even funny.

    I was listening to the advance yesterday. Great album (Liking the Whip me with a strap track). I met dude once in at Sony in the late 90's. Dude seemed like the real deal.

    Hope it does well for him. I'll be picking up a copy.

    Great article Thx

    This is very questionable... apparantly Ghost didn't care that they were already used, he had to have 'em... I don't understand why he couldn't get Doom to make him some new exclusives...

    Weird. I thought it might just be a super early advance & the final version would have different beats. Fair enuff i guess, they are nice beats.

    I heard a few songs from the fishscale album too. That one joint with the hook:
    "All over the world the kilo is the measure,
    A Kilo is 1000 grams, its easy to remember"
    That shit is mad catchy, I'm sure all the little kids will be singing it!

    Soulstrut's own Moss made that beat.

    Yeah, Soulstrut's own Moss should be proud of that beat. "Kilo" is the Measure...lovin' that one.
