Normally not a fan of compilation LPs
But I'm a huge Wu head from way back (I can remember taking the ferry to Shaolin just to see the first Wu-Wear store)
and I don't think Ghost (nom de reality: Dennis Coles) or any of the others repping the W really get their just due as rhyme stylists.
Banger after BANGER on this record: "Run," "Biscuits," "Holla," "Be Easy," "Killa Lipstick" and esp "Back Like That" are among the best things any Wu-dude ever did solo. Master of the non-sequitur and a guy who pretty much pulls his own lingo out of thin air, I always thought RZA's deep-soul Jones was best realized on Ghost's tracks. Hip-hop GOLD and a good reminder of how the underground became the mainstream, over time.
