On Deck: Ghost Face Killa-GhostDeini The Great

Everyone knows that I name check Mr. Tony Starks among my favorite rappers whenever favorite rappers are discussed. I love all of his joints. Even when More Fish came out and people were talking shit, I still thought it was brilliant

Well, my brother bought me GhosDeini The Great for Christmas. It's a"best of", of sorts with 2 new tracks and an accompanying DVD. This Comp is haphazardly put together and a little fucking boring.

The bonus DVD depicts the before-and-during of a GFK live show, which would have been entertaining except said live show takes place in Orange County for a room full of the white and brown backpackers that comprise the SoCal Indie Hip Hop Set; the most annoying of all regional Hip Hop sub-sects. Oh, and guess what, the pre-show rehearsal, which could have been the jewel of the live DVD was sans Ghost...He didn't show, leaving only footage of his goateed white boy temp. band. Yawnsville, population: Me

Of Course, track by track, Tony is still one of the most inventive, mystifying storytellers in the game. This is evident here in the track that inspired the title of worst Wu-related release in years, check it...
