I don&#8217;t say this to brag and to pretend that I have any hip-hop cred, but to introduce four songs from this album that I want you to hear. Check &#8217;em out. The first one begins with a good 2 minutes of X-rated &#8220;What&#8217;s Going On&#8221;-type banter. To save Mr. Moderator the task of crafting another warning, <em>let&#8217;s just say these songs are best checked out in seclusion<\/em>. (And if it starts to get too hot in the kitchen, <em>click<\/em> on the video, above.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rocktownhall.com\/RockTownHall\/GhostIsBack.mp3\" title=\"http:\/\/www.rocktownhall.com\/RockTownHall\/GhostIsBack.mp3\"><strong>&#8220;Ghost Is Back&#8221;<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.rocktownhall.com\/RockTownHall\/MiguelSanchez.mp3\" title=\"http:\/\/www.rocktownhall.com\/RockTownHall\/MiguelSanchez.mp3\"><strong>&#8220;Miguel Sanchez&#8221;<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.rocktownhall.com\/RockTownHall\/Good.mp3\" title=\"http:\/\/www.rocktownhall.com\/RockTownHall\/Good.mp3\"><strong>&#8220;Good&#8221;<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.rocktownhall.com\/RockTownHall\/Josephine.mp3\" title=\"http:\/\/www.rocktownhall.com\/RockTownHall\/Josephine.mp3\"><strong>&#8220;Josephine&#8221;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As I wrote earlier, compared with the depressing <strong>Young Jeezy<\/strong> and the cynical <strong>Nas<\/strong>, this foul-mouthed CD from Killah was a breath of &#8211; if not fresh &#8211; organically <em>pungent<\/em> air. All the stuff I objected to in the other CDs &#8211; the bitches, the hos, the ice, the F-bombs, the N-grenades &#8211; went down relatively easy because the music is so good and the guy&#8217;s delivery is so confident, so together. I couldn&#8217;t help but think that it&#8217;s all about the music, it&#8217;s only rock &#8216;n roll, more or less. If all that socially inappropriate stuff that&#8217;s in Killah&#8217;s music is a part of the groove, is an integral part of what he&#8217;s putting out there, then maybe there&#8217;s no point in worrying. Crap is crap or crap can be valued as fertilizer depending on the context. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know we&#8217;ve got a lot of hip tastemakers wandering through the Halls of Rock, but I&#8217;m gonna assume that there aren&#8217;t a lot of you who own this Ghostface Killah album, More Fish, that my buddy dropped on me.
