Ghostface Killah - The Pretty Tony Album - Appreciation Thread

[The Dust King]

I LOVE this album. Ghosts run from OB4CL to Fishscale is unprecedented (if you count the OG BPW) i mean damn, we got 6 albums in a row that range from all-time classic to near classic in my book.

Honestly I'm one of the biggest Missy haters you're gonna find, and I'm not even mad at Tush. The beat has some cool flourishes going on and Toney's flow is

I include 718- more fish- and big doe rehab in that run.

not sure why people dislike these, there unmentioned classics.

I can't listen to fishscale without putting more fish on after. also its crazy how the song miguel leads right into gunz and razors. classic!

I don't see whats the problem with the regular bulletproof. I mean yeah the OG was better but I don't skip anything on the retail either (and some of the changed beats were better than the originals)

I fck with the original, its just too short. what beats were bettr than the O.G.s?

Anybody else notice this was around the time he dropped the killah from his name. Remember Def Jam said they wanted to make him more marketable in the commercial market and having the Killah in his name wouldn't be marketable. Hence the name drop and the attempt at radio wit "Tush". it only lasted one album cause by Fishscale he put the Killah back where it rightfully belonged

Funny thing is many people loved that album but Ghost didn't really care for it.



Ghostface Killah: “I don’t think I have a favorite on Pretty Toney. When I made that shyt, weed started to fukk me up. It took me eighteen months to finish.

“Man, it started happening where I’d get a couple of lines out writing, then I’d forget everything I wanted to do. Then I’d chill, and see if I could go back and try to get it. I was doing a hundred takes a fukking verse. I was thinking, ‘I can’t get it.’ And whoever was in the studio would be like, ‘Yo, it’s hot!’ And I’d be like, ‘Nah, do it again.’

“So I was like, ‘Damn, yo. I gotta stop smoking.’ No more weed, because it’s throwing me off. I had ‘Holla,’ and ‘Run’ on there. And the shyt with Sheek and Styles P, ‘Metal Lungies,’ that was a good one, too. It was cool, but the album wasn’t where I wanted it to be.”
