Anyone heard the new version of "The Champ"? They couldn't get the sample cleared and now it has this horrible replayed version. It's not bad, but... ugh.
The rest of this album is fantastic. It'll be a flop, I'm sure - Ghostface is not a singles rapper - which sucks, but every head should appreciate this. "Whip Me With a Strap", "Family Affair", and "Barbershop" are just surreally good. I miss the abstract qualities of Supreme Clientele, but GFK's stream of consciousness rap is so much more refreshing and honest than anything else going on right now, including certain unlistenable strains of underground hip-hop. This album has so much *heart*.
