The last few weeks have been a duel of sorts between the commercially successful release of "The Blueprint III" and the the underground success of "Only Built For Cuban Linx II." Though both are great albums, this Tuesday, Ghostface Killah dropped what is (in my mind) the best and most creative of the three. Ghost took his picturesque delivery and mixed it with smoothed out hooks from some of today's hottest R&B singers to make what might be the first ever, Hip Hop love album. This album should bridge the gap between the thugs and the ladies allowing them to co-exist in the car and head nod to the same CD. Most notable tracks are "Not Your Average Girl," "Do Over," "I'll Be That," and "Stapleton Sex." "Stapleton Sex" takes you back to the Ghostface that made "Camy," a steamy, gritty hood sex scene. If you're a true Ghostface Killah fan, I don't see how you can be disappointed.
Other noteworthy albums include: "I Am Legend" by AZ and "Foundation" by M.O.P. with the high energy banger, "Blow The Horns On Em'." I'll get around to reviewing those once I get finished bumping this new Ghostface!
