    Thankfully, Ghostface dropped the style (and the mentality) he had on 'Bulletproof Wallets' and returns with the 'Supreme Clientele' style mixed with a little 70's soul. Overall, this album could have been as great as Supreme Clientele had it not been for all the tracks that got cut after the first disc print (mostly due to sample clearance issues). In fact, look for the following tracks and you'll see what I'm talking about: My Guitar Guerilla Hood Pretty Toney (Toney's Dough) Wise (In the Rain) Ooh Wee Disco Tech (Burnin') The Sun Paychecks The Afterparty The Drummer The Commercial tracks combined with the ones listed above make for an instant classic. They're that good. My only gripe about this album is the song with Missy, 'Tush'. It is too 'pop'. But it is understandable as this was the radio single that is required by his label.… Expand

    This album might not be the best of Ghost's works, but it's definetly improves the status of hip-hop music today. It's genre-breaking, period.

    This is my favorite album. You might not like it if you don't like to get o know your rapper personally.

    One of ghosts' best. Ironman was like the flipside to only cuban linx, and this album is the closest return to that calibur. Grown man rap touched with something rap has gotten away from - soul, humor, and a killer flow...

    It's partly a party album like 2001's Bulletproof Wallets, but freer, more inspired, and tempered with pure street tracks that were missing last time round.

    Fourteen listens deep, this is still getting better. All but a rap classic. You know, Kanye's good, but really, fuck that. Ghost for president.

    A bruisingly great collection of demented 1988-style boom-bap. [May 2004, p.107]
