Slang Editorial's Apollo Kids Review

SPITTING FIYAH!!!!!!!!

LOOOOOOOOOL

These are the type of mofo's I envision on forums that swear they tap into the bloodline of rap music. I find it funny to debate hip hop with them.

Are you saying that's how you envision Slang?

This album is tremendous, but then again, it's rare that Ghostface disappoints. 4.5 star rating for this album, and in addition to Kanye's album, this album has to be the best out right now.

I can't wait to bump this on Saturday. Would you say that this is on par with Fishscale, Wayne?

It's not on par with Fishscale, but the album is dope. In The Park w/ Black Thought>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. I swear to god BT kills the track.

my god strike you where you stand for that.

I would also like to take the time to tell Jeff to avoid Death Of A Pop Star because it is Spiritually Produced by God.

i wont hear this til christmas but i heard In the Park, Purified Thoughts, and the PeteRock track

Terry how is Death of a Pop Star?

I am on Track 8 of 12. I'll try to finish spinning this tonight or spin the rest tomorrow. Work will be calling at 3am. I'll keep you posted.

After 2 spins, I am going with 4.25 stars. Jim Jones never helps album ratings. I have Apollo Kids at #4 behind Supreme Clientele, Ironman & Fishscale for now but that could change at anytime.

Completely cosign.

I'm not surprised, Black Thought is one of the GOAT's.

I'm still at 4.5 for this one. Apollo Kids is #5 for me behind The Big Doe Rehab.

jesus this is 4.5 and #5??? how high do you rate Big Doe?

craziness

I listened to this album once so this is not my concrete opinion on it. But its typical Ghostface and in the same vein as Big Doe Rehab. Its a good album but something seems to be missing. I'll say 3.75 range as of now.

At this point, what do you think could be missing in your opinion?

I can't put my finger on it. Maybe there is just something about the album as a whole. It feels like some songs put together but not an album. If that makes sense? I think it could have used some Rza or Tru Master production. There are a lot of guest also. But most did there thing except for The Game. He sounds like he has lost his confidence or something.

He's a very good freestyler.

Oh yeah, and I like Apolo Kids. Wayyyyyy better then Ghostdini but not quite as good as Ironman (his best IMO). 4.5 stars for Apolo.

HOT DAMN this shit is FIRE!!! This is vintage Ghost. I don't know what the hell Kev is talking about, Starks came hard as hell on this album! My favorite tracks are Troublemakers, In The Park, and Black Tequila.

Black Thought absolutely ripped In The Park!! Just another reason why he's one of the greatest (and most underrated) rappers of all time.

Ghost is moving into Top 10 status on my GOAT list with this release. How You Like Me Baby is the only true skip track I've heard after the first spin. I'll revisit this thread after spinning this a few more times, for now though I'll give it 4.5 stars.

Yeah, my friend downloaded this last week and I heard a bunch of tracks from it. Sounded real good to these ears..

Big Doe Rehab is 4.5 for me also. That's the rating I gave it on first listen and it remains my rating to this day.

I have Big Doe rated at 4.25. I honestly don't understand the hate for that album. Ghost went hard as fuck and was spittin some realness on that album. Toney Sigel, Killa Lipstick, Paisley Darts, Yolanda's House, Rec Room Therapy, that album sounded like vintage Ghost to me. It's not as good as Apollo Kids IMO, but it's easily 5th in his catalog.

This is Slang Editorial

Lol indeed

Rec Room Therapy >>>>>>>>

lol yea right
