Music reviews of Hidden Darts (Special Edition)
Music Review: Great Ghost compilation.
Rating: 4 Stars
Ghostface Killah is one of the illest emcees to ever live. There's no denying that. With a constantly changing flow, raw emotions, and stream of consciousness lyrics that challenge any emcee who has ever spit for the throne, Tony Starks has constantly etched his name into the hip-hop landscape. I've displayed my affection for Ghost on my Fishscale and More Fish reviews, so I'll spare you the lovefest for this review.
Hidden Darts: Special Edition isn't an album of entirely new material. In fact, most of it is taken from the earlier days in his solo career. While I was reluctant to check out this album for that fact alone, I finally caved in, realizing that a collection of Ghostface outtakes, remixes, and collaborations are probably better than most emcee's studio albums. I was correct. While this album lacks cohesiveness(it's a compilation of tracks that span Ghost's solo career, after all), it is consistently dope from track to track; something that's not surprising when you take into account who is featured.
The track that finally influenced me to pick up this album is Wise; a song that was released earlier this year as a hype track for the compilation. This track alone is honestly enough reason to warrant a purchase of Hidden Darts; the production is dope, and Ghost's trademark whiny flow push the track well above average. This track shows why Ghostface is the undisputed King of Soul, as no one could've wrecked such a soulful beat with the presence that Ghost did.
Raekwon can be found on five tracks on this album, all of which showcase the amazing chemistry he and Ghostface have always shared. Belt Holders and The Watch are both infinitely ill, and The Sun, also featuring Slick Rick and RZA, is an amazing cut from four hip-hop legends; even if it is a revisit from Ghost's Bulletproof Wallets. That's basically all that's keeping this album from five-star status; there's just a little too much rehashed music to put this in the same league as the two Fish albums. While the material found within is equally dope, there's a bit too much 'been there, done that' to make this a classic; though, I don't know if anyone was expecting a classic from an album full of unreleased tracks and collaborations independently released by Ghost himself.
This is a must-have for Ghostface fans, and provides even more uncut dope to Ghostface fiends. Pick it up if you need even more Ghostface to tithe you over until his next project.

Description of Hidden Darts (Special Edition)
Ghostface Killah (aka Tony Starks, Ironman, Ghost Deini, Pretty Toney, Wally Champ, GFK, Starky Love, Dennis Coles) is one of the best rappers ever. He continues to release quality music year after year. A member of the Hip Hop collective Wu-Tang Clan, his name is derived from the alias of the primary villain from the film "Ninja Checkmate" (aka "The Mystery of Chess Boxing"). After Wu-Tang Clan achieved breakthrough commercial success in the early 90s, Ghostface, like his clan-mates, began a solo career, which turned out to be one of the most critically and commercially successful solo careers of all the group members. Early in his career he would wear a mask during performances and photoshoots. It was rumoured this was because Ghostface was wanted by the police and did not publicly remove it until his name was cleared. Since his debut on the opening verse of "Bring da Ruckus", the first track from the Wu-Tang Clan's critically acclaimed debut, 1993's "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)", Ghostface has made little effort to appeal to anyone outside of his loyal New York street fan base, yet he continues to achieve surprising commercial success. His latest release, called "Hidden Darts: Special Edition", is a collection of rarities and non-album cuts that span Ghost's entire career. Full of raw beats and flowing rhymes, the CD features guest rappers including fellow Wu-bangers Raekwon, RZA, Method Man and Cappadonna, some of his boys from Theodore Unit including Shawn Wigs and Trife Da God, and a Rap legend you may have heard of named Slick Rick. This comp will be enjoyed by anyone that likes good Hip Hop music. Ghostface Killah "Hidden Darts"... an album not to be missed!Pop CDs
