THE GRIPZ PREVIEW4 - THE PRETTY TONEY G-MIX

GBUILDING strikes again!  This time with THE GRIPZ PREVIEW4 - THE PRETTY TONEY G-MIX!  For those of you who didn't know, Ghostface dropped a wild album and book called "The World According to Pretty Toney".   G laces Ghostface's talk knowledge with his special brand of ill flavor.  The original is Ghost parlaying for over 20 minutes in sheer silence.  In the beginning, it sounds like he is going to drop over beats.  The intro and the first 40 seconds got beatz but then after that...nothing.

I mean, I got love for Ghost and all but I enjoy this GBUILDING version 200% better.  In fact I believe they enhance one another exponentially.  I had to listen 3 times before I could really listen for the beats because Ghost was just crackin' me up time and time again.  But once I got around to actually hearing them beats...man just listen to a sample.

Press Release:

"MTV Press announced that they were teaming with Staten Island MC Ghostface to release a new book, The World According to Pretty Toney, on January 8, 2008. MTV said that the motivational manual “offers nuggets of street wisdom on the key elements to becoming your own personal success story: livin’, hustlin’, lovin’, eatin’, and the all-encompassing Toneology.” It also comes with an exclusive audio disc containing over 20 minutes of Ghost speaking on various subjects."

"For all y’all smart dumb cats out there." Legendary Hip Hop artist Ghostface Killah settles into one of his most popular characters, Pretty Toney, and offers readers a hilariously unique perspective on life via guides to and advice on everything from sex to gambling, family to education, even how to eat on just $5 a day, better known as "The Hustler’s Diet". A singular twist on Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People for the Hip Hop generation complete with illustrative photos. Born as a series of shorts on MTV2, Pretty Toney and his musings quickly became a channel and online hit, with fans uploading the shorts on YouTube and circulating them virally. The book will also include a CD of Ghostface reading the material, the perfect accompaniment to enjoying the book. Hardcover, 9.25 x 6.25 inches, 112 pages, four-color photographs throughout … incl. CD!"

 I told you this was wild.  Ghost even did a bunch of spots on MTV (Most of y'all probably know this but hey...) Check a few of em out.  All said and done, It's almost too bad Tone didn't holler at G to put these beats behind the vocals before he dropped this joint.  In my opinion, it might have been that much more successful.  Heh, but you know of course, I guess I'm biased.  After you peep the videos, be sure to download the exclusive GBUILDING "GRIPZ PREVIEW4 - THE PRETTY TONEY G-MIX" on our FREE DOWNLOADS PAGE.

Peace & Enjoy.
