The Wu-Empire may be a thing of the past. Maybe so, but if you were to ask the Ghostface Killah, he would probably disagree. And with an album like Fishscale out a couple months ago, it's obvious that the Clan - or at least Ghost for that matter - has no plans of slipping into obscurity. Even in 2006, Fishscale makes the Clan sound as relevant as ever.
Lyrically, Ghostface has always been on that drug-dealer-turned-rapper tip, but never in a cliched Young Jeezy-type way. Ghost's vivid abstract storytelling has always been his trademark, as evident on well-done tracks like "Shakey Dog" and "R.A.G.U.", the latter being a Pete Rock-produced duet with Raekwon that sounds straight out of the Ironman/Only Built 4 Cuban Linx era in terms of quality. Ghost and Rae also duet on "Kilo" and pull it off nicely, considering the bizarre, yet suitable sampled hook. Other highlights include Just Blaze-produced "The Champ", Pete Rock's other musical contributions "Dogs of War" (featuring the Theodore Unit & Raekwon) and the certified banger "Be Easy", and "Whip You With A Strap", produced by the late J-Dilla.
As for flaws in the album, there are only a few. MF Doom contributed four beats on the album, and they're decent at best (his best beat being on the very brief "Underwater"). Also, the so-called Clan reunion track "9 Milli Bros." sounds too thrown-together, but it's still kinda tight, and it sounds good to hear them all on one track again. Finally, the last track "Three Bricks" featuring Raekwon and vocals from Biggie is a HUGE disappointment, mostly due to the track's lethargic Cool & Dre beat. It does go without saying though: these flaws end up being VERY minor.
Bottom line: Fishscale is most definitely Ghost's most focused album since his 2000 classic, Supreme Clientele. With slightly better production here and there, Fishscale could've been a classic, but near-classic status ain't bad either. Make no mistake and cop this because 2006 might not see any stronger rap releases than this one.
