GHOSTFACE KILLAH: More Fish (DefJam)
WHATEVER Ghostface Killah's
preoccupation with fish is about, it's working for him. The Wu Tang Clan rapper
follows up last year's solo release Fishscale with More
Fish, a banging collection of hip-hop tracks so fat they could be the
subject of a “Yo Momma” joke. The first track, Ghost is Back, annoyingly starts with a two-minute skit intro, but
when the beats kick in – over the top of an Ocean's 11 style funky jazz loop – it’s
all worth the wait. Hardcore tracks such as Guns
N' Razors sit alongside slinky numbers like Outta Town Sh** and Greedy B*****s, not to mention an R&B style bonus track, Back Like That, featuring Kanye West. More Fish should be part of every healthy
hip-hop diet.
