Side projects are cool (I actually was really into the 36 Seasons) but where the Blue & Cream at?

...then again since he isn't on a major anymore I'd imagine clearing the samples Ghost use would be hell, so maybe he's just getting bread up to pay up?

In response to Reply # 9


          

He’s in the business so he’s gotta ride for it.
But this is the worst of his albums so far and it’s not his fault.

I mean - this whole project was half assed except for the beats.
Like the artwork for singles looked like club flyers with appearances by
whoever was on the song.

They photoshopped Ghost’s face off The Fishscale COVER
for one of the singles artwork.

He’s first on I think every song but one...

Why the fuck is called The Lost Tapes with all new verses?
Makes NO SENSE.

I dunno if I’ve even seen Ghost tweet about it today.

Ghost sounds hype but he almost wack now.
He sound like he reading off a sheet of paper, I been saying that
for like the last 3-4 projects.

Maybe it’s health issues, I dunno.

No sense at all. The Lost Tapes should be unreleased music from his classic era.

Five years. I haven’t heard this one yet, but I don’t know where the passion went.

I know I was hype as fuxk for it because Ghost is my guy
and I was heavy into BBNG at the time.

Was underwhelmed upon release but it’s been a minute.
Need to give it another go.

That first 12 Reasons had great beats but Ghost was wooden.

Kane sounds rejuvenated. I would LOVE to hear an entire album from him sounding like this.

I agree with others about Ghost sounding off on this album, but the album is still dope to me. A nice surprise.

Wow, now that's coming full circle. The beats are definitely the highlight of this album, as well as Planet Asia and BDK. Also laughing at Radiohead getting a mention on that rock joint.

In response to Reply # 19


          

He’s a producer. He’s got maybe 7-8 LPs under his belt?

This might be the worst one.
He’s got:

Big Ghost x Griselda (Conway & WSG) - Griselda Ghost (very early Griselda stuff, very good)
Big Ghost x Vic Spencer - The Ghost of Living
Big Ghost x Hus Kingpin - Cocaine Beach (my favorite)
Big Ghost x CRIMEAPPLE - Aguardiente (my 2nd favorite)
Big Ghost x Ankhlejohn - Van Ghost (this almost sounds like some east coast Schoolboy Q shit)
Big Ghost x D Brash - Chicaghost
Big Ghost x 38 Spesh - A Bullet for Every Heathen (38 Spesh is crazy)

Big Ghost x Jay-Z - Black Album Reimagining

I’ve had a convo or two with Big Ghost, he really fuxks with that first Rza run.
He said he wants to compete with that run of solos, otherwise why are you doing it?
I’ll give him this much... each album has its own sound, like the Wu solos.
He brings a distinct soundscape to each artist.

Cocaine Beach is more laid back, ocean breeze through the open sliding condo door, , early morning diner run - chicks stashing new straws in their purse. Don’t get it twisted though, drums still hard as fuck.

Aguardiente has more sense of urgency to it, like time is running out. If we gonna win, it’s gonna be now! The world feels more closed in and claustrophobic. Again, BANGING drums.

I really fuxk with what Big Ghost is doing.
So can only imagine my excitement for his work with Ghostface. I thought wow - we might get a real gem late in Ghosttface’s career. Unfortunately, probably were never in same room. Big Ghost probably didn’t even get to explain his vision to Ironman.

I’m hoping he works with planet Asia, elcamino or willie the kid.

I feel like Ghost lost a lot of his passion after Wizard of Poetry flopped. Could also be because of age/health I suppose.

He was always ill on the r&b features.
Def Jam was going through changes I think.
Probably didn't get push he wanted, felt jaded.
