Title: Ghostface Killah!!!!!!!
Post by: ThugTears666 on February 23, 2008, 07:06:07 am
We havent talked about hiphop in here for a while.


Just this year I discovered the amazing Ghostface Killah, big doe rehab came out this year and only sold 30k, Ghostface seemed pretty gutted about it and said it makes him consider quitting rapping! So my first point is dont fucking download his new album go buy it ok.
Some of his stuff (like his latest single) is just party music but he does some really cool creative songs, anyone remember the one about mermaids on fishscale?

Anyway Ghostface would definately have to be one of my personal favourites, every album he does it awesome and some of the beats and wordplay he does is also really cool.


Heres his latest video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=2iwiVaX5Xu0.


Ghost's storytelling is definately up there with Nas, it's a pity the latest wu tang album was a snore fest because Ghost is horribly underlooked.


Any other fans? Favourite songs/albums?

(http://hiphopnrnb.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/ghostfacebigdoe.jpg) buy this ok.

I'd say my favourite rappers at the moment are:

1) Notorious BIG
2) Ghostface
3) Nas

Honorable mentions: UGK, Busta.

Ghostface is definitely dope. All his albums (barring More Fish for obvious reasons) have been great. Fishscale is my favourite of his - but my favourite single song from him is probably All That I Got Is You.

I'm ashamed to say I haven't bought any of his albums (due to having a long list) but Fishscale/Big Doe/Supreme Clientele are all on my list to buy.

Raekwon is also really sick - Cuban Linx is like a rap fans wet dream and I can't wait for the second one.

We are the G-O-D's,
And we came to rock the spot,
Like Ironman Starks,
They be the illest MC's, in the world today
Cappa, Raekwon, and the R-Z-A
So listen to them clear, and put the box right near your ear
Light your blunts and down your beers
Cause you could never fuck with Wu-Tang Killer Beez...

[Verse ][/Verse]

Say peace to cats who rock mack knowledge
Knowledgists, street astrologists
Light up the mic God, knowledge this
Fly joints that carried your points
Corolla Motorola holder
Play it God, he pack over the shoulder
Chrome tanks, player like Yanks, check the franchise
Front on my guys, my enterprise splash many lives
Rapel on fakes like reflectors
He had sugar in his ear in his last crack career
We can can him, manhandle him, if you wanna
run in his crib-o, get ditto, skate like a limo
And jet to the flyest estate, relate take a break
Break down an eighth and then wait drop it like Drake
Thugs they be booing and screwing, we canoeing
Claim they doin the same shit we doin, fuck your unit
It's the same style, RZA trainable, jump the turnstyle
On the alley tried to challenge God for the new vials
Especially that, aluminum bat in the act
Relax, lay back, sell a grenade a day, it pays black
The Mac-10 flex white cats like Windex
Index finger be sore, bustin these fly scripts
The Wally kid count crazily grands with our plans
Layin with my bitches and my mans in Lex Lands
We losin em, jet to the stash and now Jerusalem
Abusin em, rockin his jewels like we usin em
Low pro star, seven thick waves rock Polar
Roll with the older God, build with the Son and the Star

[Chorus:]

All these MC's start realizing
That Ghost got that shit, that'll keep you vibing
The Wu is here to bring, you Shaolin's finest
But if your shields are weak, you better step behind us

[Verse ][/Verse]

Mercury raps is roughed then God just shown like taps
Red and white Wally's that match, bend my baseball hat
Doin forever shit, like pissin out the window on turnpikes
Robbin niggaz for leathers, high swipin on dirt bikes
Voice be metal like Von Harper radio barber
Murder sleep away camp, the fly lady champ
The arsonist, who burn with his pen regardless
Slaying all these earthlings and fake foreigners
In the Phillipines, pick herbal beans, bubbling strings
Body chemical CREAM, we burn kerosene
The conviction of my tape is rape, wicked like Nixon
Long-heads inscriptions with three sixes in
Kiss the pyramid experiment with high explosive
I slapbox with Jesus, lick shots at Joseph
Zoomin like binoculars, the rap blacksmith
Money's Rolex, with sparkles, Chef ragtop is spotless
I'm Iron Man no cheap cash metal I'm steel alloy
True identity hidden inside secret tabloids
Breathe oxygen both sides of my jaw carry oxes
The track hit like the bangers, in hundred watt boxes
Yo jostling these cats while Little J be deli-ing
Sip Irish Moss out of Widelians

[Chorus]

[Verse ][/Verse]

Give me the the fifty thou, small bills
My gold plate, my slang kills
My Benz spills, whattup Lils
Murder one Dunn
Killer bee stung, guess who back home Son
My technique of slang camp won, third platoon soon
Cristal bottles, cages of boom, probably wardrobe
The mad-hatter big dick style, beware goons
smuggle balloons, lord of dooms, in fat pussy wombs
Let the Gods build, pull up the grill
Check out the mad skills
Top secret technique, too hard for you to peep it
and keep it, jiggy style of rap and watchin knuckle slang
sweep it out of order ape recorder can't record my slaughter
spoil the rotten Don is too good to be forgotten
High top notch, borderline rhymes is handcocked
Ninety-six, my ill sound clash is still hot
Get yourself shot

[Chorus]


ghostface is really, really good. i haven't heard more fish, pretty toney album, or fish n' chips yet, but everything else he's done is excellent. my favorite is definitely ironman, but it's not like supreme clientele, fishscale, and all the rest is bad. he might be one of the most consistent rappers (i don't know, i don't know anything about rap!!!).

Ghostface is maybe the most solid guy other than UGK and UGK is two guys, and Pimp C solo kind of blows so yeah, Ghostface is v. good!

I could honestly not think of a more solid rapper who delivers what he promises.

that being said I've never even MET someone, irl or online, who has heard bulletproof wallets.

Good to read some solid discussion :)​, I like UGK {rip pimp c!} quite alot too but I dont think they are quite up there with Ghostface, their stuff definately isn't as smart.


And I definately agree about Ghostface delivering what he promises.


Makes me furious to hear the likes of Soulja Boy, Tony Yayo and 50 cent trying to have a go at Ghostface and the clan in general too.

Quote from: Yayo
n July 2007, during a Spin magazine interview with 50 Cent, Tony Yayo alleged that Ghostface did not write his critically acclaimed album Supreme Clientele.
 Along with saying Ghostface had a ghostwriter, Yayo also made statements that Wu-Tang Clan's success is over, and that their creativity and lyrical skill doesn't matter anymore since it does not sell to the mainstream.


Quote from: Ghostface
Yayo can suck a fat dick. Tell him I said that."


NSFW but awesome

I'm seeing Ghostface and Raekwon at ATP this year. Hooray! Yes, Ghostface, Raekwon and the Wu in the general are spectacular.

Post by: Artis Leon Ivey Jr on February 24, 2008, 05:16:55 pm
oh, I've heard the guy who claimed he wrote Ghostface's album. it's so clear he's just calling up VERY DRUNK and like, just progressing. he's just like GHOSTFACE, THAT NIGGA...THAT NIGGA JACKED MY STYLE. IT WAS MY STYLE. I WROTE SOME OF SUPREME CLIENTELE. FUCK I WROTE ALL OF IT. it's so clear he's drunk and not making sense.

I didn't know Soulja Boy said anything, isn't he like 18? how can he even know Ghostface?

also what the fuck magazine shows a woman's vagina like that? even Playboy don't do that shit.

so is Wu done?

yayo didn't claim to write supreme clientele, it was some guy who was in jail. i can't even remember his name. it was s-something, it might have even been supreme. but yeah, ghostface said that when they're in the studio, everyone throws out lyrics. this guy might have a few lines on supreme clientele but he didn't write the whole thing.
Title: Ghostface Killah!!!!!!!
Post by: Artis Leon Ivey Jr on February 24, 2008, 06:59:52 pm
no one said yayo did claim to write it, but he did say GHOSTFACE DIDN'T WRITE IT!!! THIS JAIL GUY DID.

The jail guy is called Superb, he is a producer for the Wu and their affiliates.

Ghost responded with "…'Perb (Superb) is Rae’s (Raekwon) man. He been in the studio a few times while we’re doing shit. He ain’t write shit. All ‘Perb contributed was a couple of lines that you could put in the air. When we write, we all do that. “Say this one right here” or “Put this one right here.” We all catch lines with each other ‘cause you in the studio. You got niggas around you that write. Even if he did write a verse, he could never make an album of mine. He couldn’t make an album, you feel me? I made Supreme Clientele what it is. Those are my stories, based around whatever they’re based upon. It’s me. I can’t see what songs ‘Perb wrote. He ain’t write “Mighty Healthy” or “One” or “Apollo Kids” or “Cherchez LaGhost” or “Saturday Nite” or “Malcolm.” But, Yayo can suck a fat dick. Tell him I said that."[5]

Yayo talks shit.


Here's the soulja boy thing

Quote from: hiphopdx.com
n December, Wu-Tang Clan co-founder the GZA had vocally criticized the state of Hip Hop, by accusing 50 Cent that he doesn't have lyrics, and not supporting the present trend, including Soulja Boy. "He ain't shit," said the GZA before a London audience. Shortly after, the clip aired on YouTube, something the GZA predicted in the clip.

In an editorial with Rhapsody.com, Soulja Boy responded to the criticism from The Genius. "I wouldn’t even rap against the Genius. I’d put up someone who was born in ’66 to go against the Genius so it can be a tie. He’s got like 50 years on me. I wouldn’t even associate with the Genius. [In the video] he was looking like I stole his money or something. He’s in Alaska. He’s cold." According to records, GZA was indeed born in 1966, making him presently 41 years old.

Soulja Boy, who previously had issues with 50 Cent over similar comments made about music's trend, aligned with the G-Unit mogul. "I just heard 50 Cent talking about the Genius saying he had an Impala his age. Well, that’s the Genius for you. [Laughs] He has no choice. He got famous for five little minutes, but he had to sacrifice a relationship with Soulja Boy. Now it’s gone. I ain’t gonna be like 'F the GZA' ‘cause I ain’t never met that dude."

It is to be noted that the GZA released his first album Words From The Genius in 1991, and while his first effort was not an initial success, spent considerable time on the charts between 1993 and present day.

Someone called the ringtone rappers like "tight pant wearing fags" or something, I cant seem to find it though.

Here is the link to Ghostface's video about the dissapointment of his new album sales

It's especially a shame about Ghost's new album sales because from what I remember Fishscale sold quite well (at least gold) - although that may have been helped along by Back Like That and Be Easy (which were both awesome singles).

Big Doe does have less mainstream appeal. If a track like Yolanda's House got a remix with a female singer on the hook that could change though.

Fuck G-Unit for talking shit about Wu - you don't diss legends (especially Ghost and GZA). At least Soulja Boy wasn't ridiculous about his comments - sure he's running his mouth, but he's not openly saying fuck GZA which I respect (even if his album was the most awful piece of shit I've heard in years).

anyway I'm definitely not much of a fan of wu-tang anymore, but a lot of ghostface's shit is just too good to ignore. out of what I've heard, his debut solo album is my favorite

i dunno, i see ghostface's point. they put in a lot of effort with the music and all that, but i'd imagine he is already rich and how much money would he get from a cd sale anyway? i don't know about this stuff, but i remember reading it is not a lot. shouldn't a guy in the position he is in be more concerned with people coming to his shows than how many records he sells a week?

i'm not trying to justify downloading music because i don't have any argument for it really. but i just don't see the big deal. i could go out and buy the album right now, sure, but nowadays i don't even have a cd player apart from this laptop, so it's really a waste of music. he's saying this makes him think about leaving music, and that would suck, and morally i don't have a leg to stand on, but i dunno why a guy with as much money and acclaim as him would go to the trouble of speaking out on this.

i'd definitely pay to go see him if i ever saw he was playing, but as for buying the cd, it is outdated technology. he didn't mention buying a download but obviously i don't have a single argument against doing that.

i dunno what stance to take on downloading illegally, cos i think of music as just another way to express ideas, and i don't think ideas should be packaged and sold, i think it would be better if ideas just got spread around as much as possible. artists have got to make money, and i thought that the primary way musicians make money is through touring.

But wouldn't the CD sales determine the venues they played at and if they toured at all?
