Even while the Wu-Tang Clan was most active, Ghostface Killah was quietly establishing himself as one of the wickedest, least predictable MCs of this era. This is his third album in 18 months. But if there's a bottom to Ghost's lyrical well, he's nowhere near it on "The Big Doe Rehab," which is jammed full of dense, smoggy New York chaos. For street-gutter crime stories, it's hard to beat "Walk Around," whose blaxploitation horns belie the surprisingly compelling narrative within. For the club, there's "Supa GFK" and "We Celebrate," a hot-tempered party jam based on a left-field Rare Earth sample. And for the fan of fictional party rhymes, there's "White Linen Affair (Toney Awards)," where Ghost lines up the current roster of hip-hop royalty and takes his place strong in the middle of it. —Jeff Vrabel
