#1996 Ironman
2026/10/29
It's a limited episode series celebrating the year 1996! It's the 30th anniversary of many classic albums from that year and we chose twelve to "re-review!" Coming off a stellar run of Wu-Tang Clan solo albums, Ghostface Killah's debut, Ironman felt like it was arriving late. And it felt like it was also flying under the hip-hop fan radar with all that was happening in 1996. Like his follow-up classic album, Supreme Clientele , THIS IS PEAK GHOSTFACE! Many fans consider this album his best work. Let's talk about it!
