New Music Tuesday: Ghostface Killah
Dec, 21 2010
This is the last New Music Tuesday before Christmas! Can you get this Ghostface Killah record for someone on your list? Not unexpectedly, Apollo Kids, hitting stores today, has an “explicit” label.
Earlier this year, the Wu-Tang Clan member appeared alongside former Wu-Tang members Method Man and Raekwon on Wu-Massacre, but now he’s back with 12 new tracks of his own.
Nathan Rabin of the A.V. Club says, “At its best, Ghostface’s music is about raw, visceral emotion and unfiltered rage; he doesn’t sound truly engaged unless he appears to be on the verge of a stress-fueled heart attack, as he does throughout Apollo Kids.”
The 41-minute long record packs a punch, and features guest spots from some of rap and hip hop’s most exciting like Redman, Busta Rhymes, Black Thought of The Roots, and Jim Jones (not to be confused with the Kool-Aid peddling cult leader).
Reviewing the album for HipHopDX.com, Edwin Ortiz says, “Ghost treats A.K. like a veteran would treat a game on the hardwood; he picks his spots, lets his teammates have their moments, and takes over when necessary.”
