Ghostface Killah is back with his 7th album, Big Doe Rehab, and its another classic. Really, how does he do it? All tracks grow like a body of cancer and swamp your brain with lyrics that are space age yet terrifyingly barbaric. Nobody can paint pictures like Tony Starks and this long player is full of gritty stories that are pure cinema. Ghostface, as is his norm, digs out the breaks and just raps over the top of those suckers – no Casio Keyboard tosh to be found and one track, Supa GFK, is Ghost rapping over the top of Johnny Guitar Watson’s ‘Superman Lover’ without any loops or samples – he just goes over the top of the the raw record. It’s stunning. Killa Lipstick sees Wu Tang assemble over Faze O’s classic Riding High break and it works perefectly. So many standouts. Without Ghost Hip Hop would be dead and stinking. Long Live the King. Again. 9.5/10.
