Ghostface’s new album Wizard Of Poetry shows a new side of him. A new side which I do not really enjoy. Just by looking at the album cover, I immedeatly knew that this album was going to be bad and I was right. Instead of the loud and fast-paced rapping of Ghostface I expected to hear, I heard R&B. Yes, Ghostface stated that his new album was going to be R&B inspired but featuring artists like Ne-Yo is beyond inspired. Although I only listened to half of the tracks from this album (didn’t bother to listen to anymore after the first few), so far they are really disappointiing. Some of his songs have autotune and sound like something Lil Wayne would put on his album. The 13th track of the album, Shes A Killah featuring Ron Brownz is one of the worst tracks I’ve ever heard by Ghostface. His other track Stapleton Sex is just a garbarge song about him fucking a girl. I just wish that he would go back to his old style and never go commercial again. I really think the new concept produced a horrible result and he should learn from his mistakes to come out stronger on his next album.
After 2 Classic albums, Dr. Dre has been working on his final album Detox. Detox has been scheduled to be released as early as 2004, but everytime a date is set, it is delayed for unkown reasons. The final release date is said to be on November of 2009. I’ve been waiting 5 years for this album and it better not be disappointing. Some of the confirmed guests on the album are some of my favourite rappers. Nas, Ice Cube, Jay-Z and Eminem are all supposed to be featured on Detox. Unfortunately others such as Lil Wanye and 50 Cent will be joining them. I can’t wait for this album to drop and I hope it doesn’t disappoint.
Nas – Nasir Jones known as Nas is a rapper from Queensbridge. He dropped out of high school but still maintained a high degree of literacy and a wide range of vocabulary which is evident in his lyrics. His debut album Illmatic is widely considered as one of the best hip hop albums of all time. Nas is well known for his feud with Jay-Z.
AZ – Anthony Cruz known as AZ is a rapper from Brooklyn. A long time rapping partner of Nas, he was the only guest on Nas’ debut album, Illmatic. AZ released his debut album in 1995, Doe or Die. He is known for his multi-syllabic rhyming pattern.
Foxy Brown – Inga Fung Marchand known as Foxy Brown is a female rapper from Brooklyn. She won a talent show in Brooklyn when she was a teenager and drew the attention of producers. The Trackmasters produced her debut album, Ill Na Na which sold very well. Foxy brown is considered as one of the most successful female rappers.
Cormega – Cory McKay known as Cormega is a rapper from Queensbridge. Cormega grew up in Queensbridge forming childhood friendships with notable rappers such as Nas and Mobb Deep. He witnessed his mother’s murder when he was 4 years old and went to jail when he was a teen. After being released from jail, he released a debut album The Realness. He is known for talking about inner-city life in his songs. He disbanded from the group after a feud with Nas’ managaer Steve Stoute.
Nature – Jermain Baxter known as Nature is a rapper from Queensbridge. He went to school with Nas, who noticed his talent for rhyming. Nature was introduced to The Firm as a replacement for Cormega. He released his first album For All Seasons in 2000. He eventually got into a lyrical battle with Nas after The Firm disbanded.
