In a recent video interview, Ghostface Killah calmly gave his rebuttal to all who think there should be a mandatory retirement age for rappers: to paraphrase, an artist should keep going as long as his or her heart’s in it, while remaining open to stylistic growth and evolution.  On his forthcoming eighth album, Ghostdini: The Wizard of Poetry in Emerald City (out Sept. 29th), Ghostface will showcase the latest stage in his own artistic evolution, supplementing his classic flows with softer beats and R&B guest features. Like current single BabyLet’s Stop Playin’ (recently released for purchase on iTunes but not being promoted as an single) finds the reformed playboy addressing the theme of commitment, this time with the help of R&B hitmaker John Legend.  Over Sean C & LV‘s soothing boardwork, Tony Starks lets his lady know just how serious he is about the relationship, hoping she feels the same way.  So, what inspired the Iron Man to change his musical approach?  Find out next week, when Ghostface Killah steps into the Booth for an exclusive interview with DJ Z!

I mean I'm coming in kind of biased because these are two of my favourites really shining on a track...the change up for Iron Man works very well indeed.

There really should be no debate about how "hard" Tony is, he's been grimey for years and his rep precedes him. I'm thinking he's really showing his ability as an artist when he branches out on this one...

Looking forward to the album if it's more of the same. The Wu is back? September's been a good month.

Oh yeah...hot production - smooth as silk...overall? BANGER!

im feeling this new Ghostface, John Legend is excellent on the hook and bridge, and Ghostface's smooth style merges with the production

I got the chance to listen to the entire album today. Ghost sounds right at home over these R&B beats. On this record, John Legend shows that he is simply incapable of not sounding GREAT on a hook. Very enjoyable.

Alright. It's not Ghost's best but still dope. John's voice is soulful and smooth, like always, over a nice Sean C. and LV beat.

I'm getting tired of these lover-boy songs. I wanna hear some Supreme Clientele-ish from him LOL.

At first thought this pairing of Ghostface and R&B/soul production and guest features sounds like it will mesh together very well. My initial instinct was correct when it comes to this track. John Legend just understands how to work that soul and make "grown man" music, and it seems like a natural transition for GK. The production is soulful and the piano is gorgeous. You can never go wrong wit Legend and a strong emcee, so this was bound to work.

I think Ghostface is doing a great job on these R&B beats so far. I like that he's trying this. Legend is easily one of my favorite hook singers/artists, so I was definitely feeling this.

I haven't gotten the chance to listen to Ghostface's album yet, but this song is nice. Ghostface almost never disappoints, and John Legends vocals are always on point. Banger for sure.

Yup!! This dat "grown man" sh*t. GFK definitely knows how to rock that soulful sh*t and John Legend is always a win on hooks. This project is gonna be dope! and then from a marketing perspective it may help Ghost get at least some of the shine (exposure) he deserves ... BANGER!!!

That piano loop makes the track, this is a classic cut off what may very well be a classic album. Wu is back, now all we need is for the Rebel INS to drop a banger. Who else is waiting for that?

I love Legend's soulful voice. Ghostface's flow is good but a lil repetitive in the verses. It's a good song but forgettable to me
