Which is a shame, because while this Ghostface Killah and Sheek Louch collaboration might feel a little trapped in 2004, it’s also one of those increasingly rare hardcore albums that can easily leave one confused how this brand of rap fell out of favor with the audience at large. But in the age of Twitter and mixtapes hip-hop fans have come to learn that anything is possible now, and so Wu-Block arrived on the brink of the 2012 holiday season with little widespread panic. Of course that’s not what happened, and aside from the pair of Pretty Toney Album highlights “Metal Lungies” and “Run” that hinted at Ghost’s chemistry with the LOX, collaborations have been few and far between for the two camps. Ghostface Killah was at the apex of his mainstream popularity following Supreme Clientele and the LOX trio of Styles P, Jadakiss and Sheek Louch were considered by many to be the new faces of east coast gangsta rap. Ten years ago, Wu-Block may very well have been the most anticipated release of the time.
