AKA: Set the Tone (Guns & Roses)

Set the Tone 2024 Album

Ghostface Killah

This starts off okay, but never reaches good, let alone great heights, and then it falls away completely with 'Trap Phone' being the worst on offer. The album gets more poppy as it progresses including autotune BS singing that I loath. Shaun Wiah (just actually get someone who can sing like Mario, Ghostface) and Chuck Hollywod are horrible. Again the vocals on the chorus aren't good, but the best pop rap song is 'Plan B' featuring some likeable production and I like how it switches from the hook to the verses. The highlights are some of the features like Nas, Meth, Kanye, AZ and it was even nice to unexpectedly hear Ja again. I don't love Ghostface as a rapper for a whole album here. He just yells and doesn't say much. There is nothing to take away from this one. Beats: ★★★ Rapping/Bars: ★★☆ Hooks: ★★ Best Tracks: Pair of Hammers, Scar Tissue, No Face, Plan B
