Apr 17, 2016this album was pretty dope. Ghostface is one of the few lyricists of the wu tang clan aside from GZA that puts out some dope stuff. Ghostface has always had an hear for production choosing dope producers to work with and working along side hardcore lyricists that rap just as good as him. people can say what they want. but this is just as dope as his past works.

Sep 29, 2014Cinematic classic. That's all you need to know about this album. Wow is this ever an epic album both in length and quality. It's one of those rare albums that takes many listens to understand and being to enjoy but once you understand it you never ever go back.

May 12, 2011this is for black people. i loved this album it was rocking and slamming. ghostface knows how to throw down. it was a good album. but Iron Man and bulletproof wallets will be his 2 best albums.

Feb 20, 2011Love this! Ghostface at his best, with fantastic rhymes and grooves. A fantastic album by possibly the most talented rapper in the world! 10/10! Of course generally you'll have to be a hip-hop fan, but seeing as I am one, I found it amazing.

DavidDec 11, 2008Earns its spot with the all-time greats. Chock-full of brilliant songs, all fully fleshed out, memorable and emotionally affecting. Sure it has a few skits but they're short as hell. There's just too many quality cuts here to count. Ghostface is a legend.

AaronFeb 10, 2008The Austin Chronicle gets this one very wrong. 2 of the 3 songs called out as weak are some of the best on the album and best of that year. This is what hip hop is all about.

KrishB.Dec 9, 2007Best album since his debut Ironman. Production is top notch with producers like J Dilla, Pete Rock, MF Doom and Just Blaze who provide an amazing drop in which Ghostface comes of extremely hard with striking, sharp lyrics. Features guest apperances with Raekwon, Cappadonna, Trife, Ne-Yo etc. Best cut on the album is definitely R.A.G.U.

MikeCMar 31, 2007Only the most skilled in the business could pull off an album like this. It blows away every other hip-hop album released in 06.

ReubenFDec 18, 2006Ghostface Killah is famed for his work on Raekwon's classic 'Only Built 4 Cuban Linx' Album and for being a member of the Wu-Tang Clan. This album sees him in good form. 'Back Like That' featuring Ne-Yo is a stand out track for me, though i doubt it would be a favourite for his fans, being more commerical in sound.

DougDec 1, 2006This album is the most over-rated of the year. The second half of this album is mediocre at best.

G-Spottin'KillahOct 23, 2006This album is by FAR the illest he's dropped. These wack - albeit few - reviews which suggest otherwise need get their ears checked. And checked hard.

MattTOct 6, 2006This is the best hip-hop album thus far in 2006. Kyle T you need to check your head. You're probably listening to Young Jibbs as we speak. Dave A you can suck llama peepee. Stop commenting on shit you have no business with. I don't clown you for liking Backstreet Boys so go back to your bedroom and continue masturbating.

JimmyPAug 2, 2006Awsome album. Heard it and I was really astounded by the lyrics. Word up to MF Doom, Just Blaze, and J. Dilla(R.I.P) and the other producers with the soul samples and the hot beats....One of the best rap albums of 2006. Can't wait for Ludacris, Nas, and Common to challenge that crown.

JimmyFJul 15, 2006Damn good album. It is very deserving of its critic acclaim. If you don't own it, get it.

JamesTJun 20, 2006I would like for Dr. Todd Boyd to give a lecture to Dave A's cracker ass so he can shut the hell up. In the meantime, Ghostface's album is dope.

DanHMay 6, 2006If you don't like rap/hip-hop this won't be a big breakthrough for you. If you do like most rap/hip-hop, sit back and enjoy it.

WarskApr 25, 2006Incredible album. No doubt. That being said, please please please STOP hating on Bulletproof Wallets -- that shit is like his Sgt. Pepper's record . . . a transitional time masked by the events of 9/11. Why people hate Wallets so much, I'll never know. Just please stop hating on it. The Hilton, anyone? Pop Yo Collar? Christ . . .

justinbMar 28, 2006This album is amazing. "Freak the beats cause the streets is raw," ODB apparently told Ghost on the Pretty Tony Album. He did it, and props to the man. Listen to it, and listen carefully.
