It’s Fishscale Friday here at Cigarbox. Green Hornet and me are legitimate fan boys, and I am immensely jealous that he met him last night. But anyways, I’m going to go through some of the highlight albums of Ghost’s career. I will include most of his solo albums and some other great ones here. I’m holding myself to posting just one song from each album. Here we go:
Album: Liquid Swords (GZA album)
Favorite Song (with Ghost): 4th Chamber
“4th Chamber” is one of the RZA’s best beats. The beat is like a black hole, it’s so dense. It sucks you in, instantly forces you to listen. The first guy out of the gate on this track is our subject, Ghostface. His verse here is ferocious, yet understated. His voice perfectly fits the mood of the album, and it mirrors the GZA’s. Him, along with the other guest stars on this album know who is the star of this album, and they let him have his stage. He lets you wait until the 4th verse (after a very decent Killah Priest verse, and a great verse from the RZA before he got older and started sounding like a retarded robot) for the GZA to tear shit up. But Ghost sets the stage. He makes the song what it is, and does exactly what a guest rapper is supposed to do: set up the main guy. He would have his time.
Album: Only Built 4 Cuban Linx (Raekwon album)
Favorite Song (with Ghost): Criminology
On an album that could be the score to a mob movie, this is one of the most cinematic songs. The album is just as much Ghost’s as it is Raekwon’s. Unlike on Enter the 36 Chambers where Ghostface functioned almost like a hypeman (albeit a fantastic hypeman), here Ghost is every bit as important as Raekwon in forwarding the intricate story of the album. On the song “Criminology”, Ghostface shows he has a distinct voice in rap.
Album: Ironman
Favorite Song: (tie) Wildflower, All That I Got Is You
Underrated in the overall annals of Wu solo albums, the only thing Ironman lacks is a bad song. With a little more cohesion to the overall album aesthetic, this could have been a classic up there with Cuban Linx. Picking a favorite song was such a difficult process because of the amount of great songs. I chose “Wildflower” first for it’s relation to a recent Ghostface hit song “Back Like That”. Wildflower has Ghostface throwing harsh words towards a woman who did him wrong while he was on tour. While on “Back Like That” where he at least acknowledges that he was partially to blame, here it is all blame towards the girl.
“Remember when I long-dicked you and broke your ovary?
You crab bitch, chickenhead hoe, eatin' heros”
Nuff said
“All That I Got Is You” is truly a hip hop to tug at your heartstrings. Mary J. Blige gives us a soul wrenching chorus while Ghost gives us a depressingly realistic look at his childhood and his love for his mother. Mike Skinner’s sappier songs might have been born right here.
Album: Supreme Clientele
Favorite Song: Apollo Kids
On this album, Ghost is still rapping about selling drugs, but now he rapping about a lot of other things too. These songs are abstract often, as Ghost seems to care more on this album about how his words sound than about how the words are. But on this song “Apollo Kids” him and Raekwon are rapping about dealing, but the narrative is fractured, as it is on most of the album.The words come out in a stream-of-consciousness blur. It’s like James Joyce with a beat.
At this point, Ghost has truly come into his own. He grew up for this album. Gone is the raw, Wu hypeman of albums past. Here is the veteran of rap, and the first of the Wu solos to be able to remain artistically viable without the RZA (although he did produce 3 of the songs on this album).
Album: Pretty Toney
Favorite Song: Be This Way
This album is just as much a soul album as a hip hop album. Ghostface doesn’t just have choruses with soul samples, he has truly incorporated the genre into every facet of most of these songs. What could have become an indulgent genre exercise turns out to be a fantastic album with enough bangers to be played at any party. The song “Be This Way” is a good example of the vibe of this album and is the best example of how the soul and hip hop were mixed to well on this album.
Album: Fishscale
Favorite Song: (tie) R.A.G.U., Underwater
So we are finally here to this day at Cigarbox’s namesake. To me, it’s just as good, if not better than all the rest of the albums named here. Some of the best producers (Just Blaze, MF Doom, J Dilla, and Pete Rock to name a few) , some of Ghost’s best verses, and some great guest spots make this album fantastic start to finish. Here Ghost’s topic is, what else: drug dealing. But after making albums that were a little left of center as far as mainstream rap is concerned, here Ghost shows that he can keep his roots of abstract artistic rap, and still make songs that would be great on the radio.
As different as his past albums were, here you can see Ghost jumping from style to style, as if he has perfected what he did in the past and here is the showcase. R.A.G.U. would easily go onto Cuban Linx as its beat sounds like that album, and it features Raekwon in top form. Underwater is a surrealist approach to hip hop. In the song Ghost describes a trip underwater led by mermaids. The song is so vivid as to make you think he actually lived it.

It is hard to believe that anything [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt discount shoes[/URL][/B] so inherently ugly as the MBT shoe could ever catch on [U]shoe for worked[/U] with either the younger generation or the fitness fanatics but it has. [B]MBT[/B] The shoes or I suppose they should be called trainers have thick curved soles and wide straps across the front. Currently [U][B]shoe for worked[/U][/B] the are available in over 20 countries and have sold more than a million pairs a year. Considering that they have a price tag of around $200 it is even [B]mbt sneakers[/B] more remarkable.
MBT shoes, which stand for Masai [B]mbt walking shoes[/B] Barefoot Technology were invented by Karl Muller a Swiss engineer. He [B]mbt sandals[/B] suffered back and knee problems but on a trip to Korea he noticed [U][B]mbt sneakers[/U][/B] that after walking barefoot through paddy fields the symptoms were relieved. With further [U]shoe for worked[/U] research he discovered that the Masai tribesmen from Kenya did not suffer back problems [B]mbt shoes cheap[/B] and had perfect posture. Putting these two facts together he decided that [U]mbt shoes clearance[/U] the answer was because they were walking on soft surfaces [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] which yielded as they trod on them. This [U]discount mbt shoes[/U] was unlike in Europe and America where we tend to walk on firm surfaces such as sidewalks.
The first MBT was manufactured in 1996 and soon [U][B]mbt discount shoes[/U][/B] became popular on continental Europe. Since then many celebrities have [B]mbt shoes review[/B] been seen sporting MBTs. The concept basically is that the [U][B]mbt shoes clearance[/U][/B] curved sole creates instability as you walk, which [U][B]mbt sneakers[/U][/B] mimics the effect of walking barefoot. To counteract this the foot uses muscle to counter this [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt shoes sale[/URL][/B] and creates a natural body training effect.
These are pretty bold claims but there is no doubt that MBT shoes are [U]footwear etc[/U] popular both as recreation and sportswear. A study [U]mbt walking shoes[/U] by Sheffield Hallam University recently concluded that MBT shoes were better for the knees ankles [U]mbt shoes best prices[/U] than normal shoes. The study also concluded that if [U][B]mbt shoes clearance[/U][/B] you walk correctly you would take shorter strides while walking in MBTs. Shorter [B]mbt sneakers[/B] strides would mean more steps and more expending of energy and this [U][B]discount mbt shoes[/U][/B] would increase your calorie burn.
The designers of the MBT shoes are quick to point [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt sandals[/URL][/B] out that this is not a shoe in the ordinary sense. That it is an anti shoe [U]discount mbt shoes[/U] of sorts. The concept is that normal shoes are against human nature, that are body is designed for [U][B]footwear etc[/U][/B] walking barefoot on soft and uneven ground, and this footwear is more in line with that. With a specially designed sole, wearing MBT shoes improves posture and [U][B]mbt shoes cheap[/U][/B] your gait and relieves pressure on your back. It also gives your muscles, including often neglected muscles, a nice workout [B]mbt shoes best prices[/B] whether walking or standing in place. By working a lot of different muscle groups, this footwear also leads to a more stimulated metabolism and thus burns more calories.
The key element behind the MBT's physiological, muscle and [U][B]buy mbt shoes[/U][/B] calorie burning benefits is the patented sole construction. The core elements of this design include a [B]mbt shoes sale[/B] specially designed shank, PU midsole with balancing area and the Masai sensor. All [U][B]mbt discount shoes[/U][/B] of which work in concert to create a soft surface that it like walking on a beach. MBT shoes [U]mbt sneakers[/U] promote an unstable environment for your feet, which gives all the benefits I've listed above.
The MBT shoe is [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] available in two different sole designs, which is something relatively new. The first type is [U][B]discount mbt shoes[/U][/B] the integrated shank construction, which is the original sole [U][B]mbt shoes clearance[/U][/B] design found on the styles like the MBT Sport or the [B]mbt shoes review[/B] Kisumu sandals. The second, and newer design is the dual board construction. This design offers a [U]mbt shoes best prices[/U] little lower profile than the integrated shank sole, but still preserves the foot's natural rolling movement and gives [U]footwear etc[/U] all the same benefits.
Choosing a quality [U]MBT shoes[/U] brand name fitness footwear like MBT shoes will prevent you from having [B]MBT shoes[/B] to buy many more pairs in the future. If you buy [U][B]MBT shoes[/U][/B] quality the first time around, you may pay a little more, but will save in the end by [U]mbt shoes clearance[/U] not having to repeatedly buy more over the years. Plus, with all the benefits [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt sneakers[/URL][/B] to your body, you'll have less expensive medical bills down the line.
Shoes specially made for losing weight are available today and [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt sandals[/URL][/B] can be quite effective. These shoes have been out for a while and some companies have risen to the top [B]mbt shoes sale[/B] demonstrated that they can provide a quality product to consumers. One [U]mbt discount shoes[/U] such type of these shoes is the MBT Shoe made by a company called Swiss Masai. In case you [U][B]mbt shoes review[/U][/B] did not MBT stands for Masai Barefoot Technology. In this write up we want to take a [U]mbt sneakers[/U] closer look at these special shoes.
The development and idea behind the MBT shoe design is quite [U][B]mbt sandals[/U][/B] interesting. What the shoe attempts to do is structure the shape of the shoe so [U]MBT[/U] that it simulates walking on sand. Specifically, the they want to attempt to make it as if you are walking [U]mbt sneakers[/U] along the natural sand environment of the Masai in Kenya. Sports trainers have known for quite a while now [U]mbt sandals[/U] that working out on dry sand is a great way to get in excellent cardiovascular condition. As you [U]mbt shoes best prices[/U] walk on sand it creates an uneven surface on your feet and it forces you to shift your center of gravity to [U]mbt shoes cheap[/U] an unnatural position. Your body compensates for this by using several different [B]mbt shoes best prices[/B] muscle groups in your feet, calves, thighs, and torso that you would not use wearing typical shoes. This is the ideas [U]mbt sneakers[/U] behind the MBT weight loss shoes and it does seem to [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt shoes review[/URL][/B] work for some people.
More specifically, MBT makes several positive claims [U]mbt sneakers[/U] and benefits from wearing their shoes. They will take muscle groups [U][B]mbt shoes review[/U][/B] not normally used in walking and make them active. The shoes will give you a better posture, and a more effective [U][B]MBT[/U][/B] gait when walking with or without the shoes. It can [B]mbt sneakers[/B] potentially help you with problems you may have with your back, hips, legs, and feet. The [U][B]mbt shoes sale[/U][/B] shoes can help you recover from injuries to your [B]mbt discount shoes[/B] tendons, joints, ligaments, or muscles. The shoes are also designed to alleviate tension and stress [U]mbt shoes review[/U] on your lower joints.
Another particular claim [B]mbt sandals[/B] of MBT is that is you walk one mile in these weight [U][B]MBT[/U][/B] loss shoes it will be as if you walked two miles in ordinary shoes, and you will burn equivalent calories. One thing [B]footwear etc[/B] is for sure, users find that after the first few [B]mbt discount shoes[/B] times they walk in the shoes their calf and thigh muscles are sore. Also, while you are [U]MBT shoes[/U] just starting to use the shoes they will feel uncomfortable [U]mbt shoes cheap[/U] but that feeling goes away after twenty [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] minutes or so. Once you get used to the feel of the shoes users find that they can [U][B]mbt sneakers[/U][/B] walk effortlessly and comfortably. The shape of the sole is designed [U][B]mbt walking shoes[/U][/B] to make you walk with your back straight and your [B]MBT[/B] stomach flat, and your whole stride shortens up and quickens. These are [U][B]mbt walking shoes[/U][/B] the major effects that owners of MBT shoes [U][B]mbt sneakers[/U][/B] experience.

As y'all might have noticed, I will do whatever it takes to [B][URL=http://www.tiffanyfree.uk.com]tiffany earrings[/URL][/B] weed out the most popular and chic jewelry around, even it takes traveling to [U][B]tiffany necklaces[/U][/B] very warm, beautiful areas like the island of Siesta Key in Florida. In fact, I'm even staying an extra few days here [U]pandora beads[/U] just to make sure that I absorb as much information and style as humanly [B]tiffany earrings[/B] possible (either that or I'm simply not interested in journeying back to the cold tundra that is New York City). Either way, this is the best way for me to [B]pandora beads[/B] report back to you all the excellent styles that are pervading the fashion scene for the [U]tiffany engagement rings][/U] spring and summer of 2009!
If any of you saw the 2008 romantic comedy, Fool's [U][B]pandora uk[/U][/B] Gold, I'm certain you found yourself frantically Googling Kate Hudson's Palm [B][URL=http://www.tiffanyfree.uk.com]tiffany engagement rings[/URL][/B] Tree Necklace to find out where you could get one just like it. The palm tree necklace was popular last year, and is still flying [B]pandora jewellery[/B] off the shelves today. There truly is something appealing about this shining sterling silver and cubic zirconia necklace with its intricate palm tree design. Of course, we're all aware that [B]tiffany & co[/B] the palm tree necklace that Kate wears in the movie is the real Tiffany & Co. version, which is made of diamonds, but unless you [U][B]tiffany earrings[/U][/B] are also a multi-millionaire like Kate, you probably will also stick to the inspired [U]tiffany co][/U] version.
On top of various forms of palm tree jewelry, I have [U]pandora uk[/U] found a bevvy of starfish, seahorse, and turquoise and coral-colored jewelry in the many boutiques and shops that Siesta [U]tiffany co][/U] Key boasts. Look for two-tone starfish jewelry as a big hit this spring and summer, as well [U][B]pandora[/U][/B] as the Tiffany Inspired Anchor Necklaces, which is another fan-favorite. It also incorporates a [B]pandora[/B] sterling silver and cubic zirconia design that is nautical and airy for the [B]tiffany pendants[/B] warmer weather.
Michelle is a member of the Mademoiselle Jewelry [B]tiffany[/B] team - a company that was founded on the principal that jewelry is art. Mademoiselle Jewelry specializes in [U]tiffany pendants][/U] unique jewelry, Tiffany Inspired jewelry and sterling silver jewelry. Each piece of jewelry is hand [U][B]pandora jewellery[/U][/B] selected for quality, uniqueness, and creativity. Mademoiselle Jewelry also carries jewelry lines specifically [B]pandora beads[/B] designed for men and children.
