Ironman contains more of Ghostface Killah’s highly praised unique uptempo, stream-of-consciousness rhyming style, which he would go on to further utilize on his highly acclaimed second studio album Supreme Clientele. However, the rest of the album contains many street oriented, and organized crime topics, similar to Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…, in which Ghostface was heavily involved. This is perhaps best illustrated on the single, “ All That I Got Is You“, which is essentially a tribute to his mother.
Raekwon appears on 13 of the 17 tracks, with “The Faster Blade” featuring him performing solo.Īs opposed to earlier Wu-Tang solo project, in which the performers involved were believed to be infallible, Ghostface is somewhat vulnerable on several of the album’s songs. The two most prominently featured artists are Raekwon and Cappadonna, who both accompany Ghost and have their names on the album’s cover. Ironman earned a platinum certification for shipping one million copies in the United States by February 9, 2004. Many music critics have praised the album for Ghostface Killah’s imaginative lyricism and RZA’s production style, with some revering it as one of the greatest Wu-Tang solo albums of all time.Īlthough a solo album, Ironman features many Wu-Tang collaborations and only four tracks feature Ghostface performing as the sole rapper.
