Ghostdini: Wizard of Poetry

Release Date: September 29, 2009
Label: Def Jam

Abstract

“I don’t sell crack, yo. I ain’t movin’ no bricks or none of that other shit. I ain’t shoot nobody in like…since the early 90’s, man. How long you gonna be 40 years old and actin’ like you still sellin’ cracks and you on the block and you doin’ this and you doin’ that when times is more serious, man. We in a fuckin’ recession, B! Ain’t nobody gettin’ no money, man!”- Ghostface, June 2009

 

Ghostface is facing something of a career dilemma with Wizard of Poetry: How long can the Wu-Tang rapper keep doing songs about moving bricks when he's (almost) older than 40? According to Ghost, no longer, because Wizard finds him moving towards the R&B branch of the Hip-Hop/R&B tree, collaborating with the likes of John Legend, Raheem, Estelle, Lloyd and Musiq Soulchild on tracks that are more about good and bad times than about snow times. Whether Ghost moves back to doing a third entry in the Fishscale saga is yet to be determined, but for Wizard of Poetry at least, he's over that stuff.
