Details Lead Performance: Ghostface Killah; Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap

The latest from the Wu Tang Clan member, Ironman, finds Ghostface Killah talking vehemently about sex, politics, and sexual politics. The samples rely heavily upon prime '70s Willie Mitchell productions, most effectively on ''260,'' which uses the intro to Al Green's ''Let's Stay Together'' as an aching ironic counterpoint to a killer tale of brutal street justice.
