About "97 Mentality" by Ghostface Killah
'97 Mentality' is a time capsule of mid-'90s Shaolin grit. Ghostface rides a dusty, piano-laced loop with the precision of a surgeon, the title invoking a code of conduct now faded. The calm of the beat is a thin veneer over the unease of survival, a mentality that never truly left.
