Is the ghost face in question really Ghostface Killah? I'm confused but you're probably not talking about GFK.
(
Edit: Oooh, ok. You referred to Ghostface because Bronson sounds just like him. Well, I love Ghostface. Who said otherwise? I listed artists who started their careers post-2000.)
You and I share the same opinion on Joell Ortiz then. "Free Agent" could have been the most disappointing album of the last few years. As I wrote after its release:
"I consider Joell Ortiz to be a top5 emcee active right now. His wordplay can be out of this world...
However he completely **** up with the highly anticipated "Free Agent". I don't get how he can spit so many meaningless freestyles that get rotation on Premo's Live from HQ and my PC and then drop such average tracks on this album. He seems to be at his best when just spitting rhymes for no reason (the Slaughterhouse DJ Green Lantern freestyle still blows my mind).
Horrible album for Joell's standards, full of filler. I rather make up a playlist of his unreleased tracks (seriously, why does he have to leak Project Boy, Memories etc. and then release this crap), freestyles and "Farewell Summer" than listen to "Free Agent". 2.5/5"
