Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
It’s a record every twelve months at the moment for Ghostface Killah, even discounting his presence in the ranks of the revived Wu-Tang Clan--but if The Big Doe Rehab finds this Staten Island MC stretching himself thin, it doesn’t show in the quality stakes. Sure, there’re moments where Ghost seems frayed or erratic--"Don’t put me in no mental clinic!" he blurts on gruesome heist tale "Walk Around". But there’s much here to suggest Ghostface’s seventh solo album is more or less the equal of 2006’s excellent Fishscale. A good proportion of production is handled by P Diddy’s team The Hitmen, fresh from Jay-Z’s American Gangster, and pumping out the rich soul loops like they’ve got beats to burn. It’s a packed guestlist, too, with Wu members Raekwon, Method Man, and U-God all on board, plus numerous MCs from Ghost’s Theodore Crew, which gives the likes of "Paisley Darts" and "Yolanda’s House"–-a chase track where Method Man gets, quite literally, caught with his pants down--an endearingly busy feel. This being Ghostface, though, there’re tears and swoons, too: take "I’ll Die for You", smooth ‘70s soul where our troubled protagonist gets down on his knees and makes to heft the world onto his shoulders. –-Louis Pattison
Description
On the heels of two exceptional albums in 2006 (FISHSCALE and MORE FISH), Ghostface Killah continued his hot streak on his third major-label LP in two years, THE BIG DOE REHAB. Coming with a fresh batch of wicked wordplay and dizzying stream-of-consciousness lyrics on cinematic hood vignettes ("Yolanda's House", "Rec-Room Therapy"), violent do-or-die tales ("Walk Around", "Yapp City"), and comically surreal award-show scenarios ("White Linen Affair (Toney Awards)"), Pretty Tony sounds as distinct as ever.
Stylistically, BIG DOE REHAB borrows from the old school, as Ghost revisits one of Redman's most memorable shticks on "Supa GFK" and lifts a classic EPMD beat on "Killa Lipstick". More centralized on the production side than either "Fish" album, the majority of therecord's beats are provided by the Diddy-affiliated production duo of LV and Sean C, while supplemental production workcomes courtesy of Ant-Live, Scram Jones, Anthony Acid, Frequency, Baby Grand, and Ghost himself. Featuring ample guest spots that represent both the Wu (Raekwon, Method Man, U-God, Master Killa, Cappadonna) and the Theodore Unit (Trife Da God, Shawn Wigs, Sun God), BIG DOE REHAB is another exemplary piece of gutter hip-hop from one of New York's most original and inventive rhyme-stylists.
