The Pretty Toney Album is the fourth studio album by American hip hop artist Ghostface, a member of the Wu-Tang Clan. The album was released on April 20, 2004, by Def Jam Recordings. It is the only album from the artist to be released solely under the title of "Ghostface" ("Killah" is entirely omitted in any reference to his name on the packaging), but it is otherwise a normal Ghostface Killah release in line with the rest of his catalogue.
The Pretty Toney Album has a lack of Wu-related references on it. It's Ghostface's album entirely and all the better for it. It's partly a party album like 2001's Bulletproof Wallets, but freer, more inspired, and tempered with pure street tracks that were missing last time round. Perhaps feeling the lack of hood interest for his last album, Ghostface puts a handful of Pretty Toney's hardest tracks at the beginning as if he's ready to prove something right away. The best of the lot, "Metal Lungies," could be the theme for any aspiring mack, but the rest. Get them all and you might be able to piece together a classic Ghostface album. Pretty Toney comes close, very close, and puts the man's solo career back on solid ground.
Summary: The former Wu-Tang member's fourth solo album (and first since ditching the "Killah" portion of his name) features contributions from Missy Elliott, Jadakiss and RZA. Record Label: Def Jam. Genre(s): Rap.
The Pretty Toney Album" is an excellent album from Ghostface. If you're used to hearing how Ghost sounds, this album should be no different. I always admired Ghostface for his skills behind the mic since he appeared on "The Cuban Linx Album". This album still shows that Ghost can still hold his own down, and I recommed that you check this one out. Lyrics: A. Production: A. Guest Appearances: A. Musical Vibes: B+. Overall: A.
Yet, The Pretty Toney Album remains incredibly on-target otherwise, with uniformly stunning production work that feels like a ramshackle Blueprint. From the short sample chop and four-bar horn flourish of "Be This Way", to True Master's paused piano and fuzz saxophone drum stomp on "Biscuits", to the fear-soaked, twisted-horn chase music of "Run", Pretty Toney evokes hip-hop's storied past even while its polish and gloss reveal its 2004 release date. Expectedly, minor shortcomings hold the record back from classic status.
