Nearly every song features multiple guest verses, and not just from Ghost’s Wu-Tang brethren. In many ways, The Lost Tapes feels like a throwback mixtape. Once those horns come blaring in on “Buckingham Palace,” Ghostface immediately goes to work: “My Clan bring heat like the summer, check the forecast/We kamikazes, microphone aeronautics … It’s all fun and games ’til your eye’s hangin’ out your socket.” He’s joined on the track by 38 Spesh, Benny the Butcher and KXNG Crooked, who is especially focused this time around – “I went from roaches in the cereal to flowin’ the most ferocious in your stereo/But culture vultures don’t hear me though.” You don’t have to wait long to be captivated by the beats. Sonically speaking, it’s one of the best-produced projects of the year. He’s joined behind the boards by Internet phenom Big Ghost, whose entire online persona is one massive tribute to Ghostface himself. Big Ghost is a big stan, so best believe he’s more than eager to replicate Toney’s classic dusty, soul-drenched sound. It’s more of a reclamation – Ghost is back to remind y’all who helped start all this. That’s why you shouldn’t expect The Lost Tapes, Ghost’s 13th studio LP, to be a reinvention. And that’s made him one of the game’s most consistent, and beloved, voices.

The packaging may be different but it’s the same ol Tony Starks. And he’s also flexed his creative muscles in recent years, giving us cinematic-level storytelling with his 36 Seasons and Twelve Ways to Die series.īut as the musical landscape changes, and his peers scramble to keep up with the times, Ghost never falters. He’s matured from the rapid-fire rhyme-slinger of his early days to a more measured, deliberate tone. He’s stepped outside his comfort zone for impressive collabo projects with Sheek Louch and BADBADNOTGOOD. That’s been the battle cry of the venerable Ghostface Killah, who for the better part of 25 years – yes, TWENTY FIVE YEARS – has consistently delivered the gritty, speaker-rattling wordplay that revolutionized hip-hop in the mid 90s.ĭon’t get me wrong, that doesn’t mean Ghostdini hasn’t evolved over the years.
