Too much time is given to ancillary Wu-Tang rappers Superb, Trife and Killa Sin who simply are not on the level of the actual Clan members and hit-or-miss RZA disciple, producer Mathematics.
#WU TANG CLAN FOREVER GHOSTFACE TV#
“Maxine” starts off the album with Ghost spinning a violent drug tale over some horns provided by RZA with Raekwon spitting a verse that ends with “James jumped on Moon, poked him with a screw driver, broke the TV niggas watching Knight Rider,” what? Then on the corny first single “Never Be the Same Again” he drops this line: “You think that I'm the biggest bird in America, catch me on TV, I'm come back, never the…” Thankfully his appearance on “The Hilton” is much better, backed by a Jackson 5 sample courtesy of outstanding yet extremely underrated producer Carlos "6 July" Broady. Unfortunately, Bulletproof Wallets is not on par with either of Ghost’s first two albums and because of sample clearance issues and troubles with his record label (once again screwing up the track listing) this album is a major drop-off in the quality that we had come to expect from Ghostface.Įven with his trusty clansmate Raekwon riding shotgun for Bulletproof Wallets it still doesn’t make this a good album especially with Raekwon’s uninspired lyricism. Review Summary: The first chink in Ironman’s armor.Īfter the relative dry spell in Wu solo albums following Wu-Tang Forever, the Wu’s superhero Ironman saved the day with Supreme Clientele which was a return to form for the Clan and seemed like a rebirth for the once can’t-miss crew.
