Ghostface Killah - Chinatown Wars
Artist: Ghostface Killah
Producer: Oh No
Album: Grand Theft Auto: Chitatown Wars (Soundtrack)
Label: Soul Temple Records/RED Music
As demonstrated on Talib Kweli‘s My Favorite Song (from GTAIV: The Lost and the Damned) and Statik Selektah‘s Driving Down the Freeway (from Midnight Club: L.A.‘s South Central expansion pack), Rockstar are a class act when it comes to soundtracks. Those were Xbox 360/PS3/PC titles, though, and the newly-released GTA: Chinatown Wars is a Nintendo DS game. So, how much hip-hop goodness can you fit onto a cartridge so small you have to be careful not to sneeze while holding it? If this theme song is any indication, the answer’s “quite a bit.” Backed by Oh No‘s tweaked Far Eastern samples, two emcees known for their left-of-center lyricism turn in suitably hard-hitting verses; Wu-Tang‘s Ghostface perfectly embodies the GTA spirit in his maniacal rhymes, while masked oddball DOOM sounds a little… hungry (what do you expect from a guy who titled an album MM… Food?) Just the thing to get listeners pumped up for some digitized mayhem, this cut should have DS owners running to the nearest video game retailer to cop the just-dropped Chinatown Wars.

Tony Starks and DOOM need to do more records together, their chemistry is unmatched. Oh No definitely knocked it out on this one.
So Booth heads, what's the consensus on DOOM's new album? |

Both rappers came hard and gritty on here. The hook is kinda lame, but cool for listenin to on that type of videogame i guess... I enjoyed listenin to DOOM and Ghostface's hard lyrics, so its in rotation.

This would never get me run out and buy a video game system, but it would entice me to write a few managers (cough, cough) and suggest these two do a full album together. Raw.

beat isnt good at all, lyrics is pretty tight, but i just dont want to listen to it, it just doesnt have that vibe to it, like it aint laid back it cant be a club banger and it cant be raw, its too mixed up, maybe a new beat would improve it all

This sounds exactly like a video game track (if there ever was such a thing??). Completely dislike this track.

I'm loving the beat, I find it fresh and catchy, but I'm not feeling the hook, kinda boring. In rotation
