Rap - Various Artists was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Rap - Various Artists and GHOST DOG - THE WAY OF THE SAMURAI together. Since completing 2000’s ‘Zip Code (BLACK KNIGHTS)’, Rap - Various Artists fulfilled their contract with Mute Records and where under no obligation to release another album. Lead single “Zip Code (BLACK KNIGHTS)” and “East New York Stamp (JERU & AFU RA)” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. GHOST DOG - THE WAY OF THE SAMURAI is preety good and all the songs have a good meaning behind them.
is a marvelous song and it grows on you.
A fantastic track full of wonder. Cakes (KOOL G RAP) is the album’s biggest hit, I think. The Man (MASTA KILLAH & SUPERB) is probably the most interesting track on GHOST DOG - THE WAY OF THE SAMURAI. It’s very catchy and easy to get into which is what you want in a song. 4 Sho Sho (NORTH STAR) still maintains something of a specific flourish. First time I heard Samurai Code Final Quote (READINGS BY FOREST WHITAKER) was on radio driving in my car and sonically it just sounded amazing.Some call Samurai Code Quote 1 (READINGS BY FOREST WHITAKER) from GHOST DOG - THE WAY OF THE SAMURAI as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. Samurai Code Quote 2 (READINGS BY FOREST WHITAKER) is one of the more up-tempo songs on GHOST DOG - THE WAY OF THE SAMURAI. Samurai Code Quote 3 (READINGS BY FOREST WHITAKER) - a classic song. Once you hear Samurai Code Quote 4 (READINGS BY FOREST WHITAKER), you will listen to it over and over. Samurai Code Quote 5 (READINGS BY FOREST WHITAKER) (0:21) - awsome. Samurai Code Quote (READINGS BY FOREST WHITAKER) gives good insight into the truths. Walk The Dogs (ROYAL FAM & LA THE DARKMAN) is the song that really did it for me. Samurai Showdown (RZA) is really a nice song to relax and listen too. Don’t Test - Wu Stallion (SUGA BANG BANG) is a song to enjoy for years to come. Strange Eyes (SUNZ O’MAN, 12 O’CLOCK & BLUE RASPBERRY) is the cool blend of moody yet optimistic tunes. Walking Through The Darkness (TEKITHA) - another great track from the GHOST DOG - THE WAY OF THE SAMURAI album. In Fast Shadow (WU-TANG CLAN) Rap - Various Artists is at his best.
