LOL, nothing beats a Ghostface stage rant….I was twittering this from my lil corner behind a speaker onstage last night….but luckily DJNessNYc was with me, and caught the “jewels.”
“rap music today is bulls–t. Its bulls–t. This s–t makes no f–kin’ sense, B….radio is f–kin up. I hear the same s–t every 5 minutes. When I came in with Wu Tang. We had to be swordsmen. We had to be very lyrical…my ginsu knife had to be very sharp, nowadays, these n—as is pulling out butter knives.”
(“dont ever put a bright light on me….gimme colors. I love colors” LOL!)
“The energy you give to me, that’s what I’m gonna give back to you….’cause once you look like y’all looking soggy, y’all take my powers away…y’all my duracell…“

I just had a spark of genius. Somebody should hire him to do a motivational speaking tour @ elementary schools across the country. The I LOVE COLORS speaking tour. That’s my word. Doesn’t Oprah have a school in Africa?

This Wu Re-emergence is beautiful.

All Ghost music is still hard to understand because of the higher plane he has always been on. No comprimise no beef no marketing strategies just ill grimey gutter lyrics that one day is gonna keep him in talk as one of if not the best lyrisist/mc of hip hop music period. Easily the best in the Wu, top 3 behind Jay and Big. Show me an argument and I’ll show u an idiot with no sense of reality

As he said this, I thought about his recent featuring-Ron Browz track. I hope that song is buried deep underneath Def Jam’s offices, never to be heard again.

lmao at the “I Love Colors” speaking tour
August 1st, 2009 at 12:39 am
I feel Ghost, BUT
then him and some of his Wu brethren will turn around and come out with mediocre shit. Radio is shit, we know this. The sky is blue (why is water wet?!!), what else is new, muhf*cka? Do something about it.
and I’ve always said that Nas is the greatest rapper ever. Nasty Nas obviously. Name a rapper he aint influenced.
August 1st, 2009 at 1:01 am
One of the best original and creative lyricist of our time buddy, and probably the best storyteller since Slick Rick with a couple of classic albums and a bunch of hit songs. You just mad cause he aint wearing tight clothes like you are

Eyo famo you killin me. That type of talk make you sound like a fan of the “Stanky Leg”. Real Talk though, because at least you sound like you speak with sense. But if you notice, from the very first line Ghost spit on the intro on “36 Chambers”, to “Can It Be So Simple”, his rhymes were what we consider, straight to the point, simple english grammar. Do you agree?
To me, what makes an artist such as Ghost great is that they evolve. They upgrade their craft and step it up 10 notches. Thats why I hate when people say Nas should do another “Illmatic”. He would sound like an idiot talking what he said in “Illmatic”.
What made the Clan hot, was how they were able to bring their own sound to hip hop and keep it original. These dudes have their own style and vocabulary. So when Ghost says, “His rap is like Ziti” dude is painting his own picture. It might sound abstract to you and me just like Picasso paintings were abstract to some, but thats what real artists do and just like Picasso. That’s what hip hop is supposed to be. You have to listen and observe to what Ghost is saying and eventually, it makes sense. So until a South artist comes around with originality, real swag, real beats, and is able to put all those elements together, dont ever say Ghost gets away with murder lyrically. Cause that makes you sound like a Gucci Mane.
And as far as Big Tigger clown ass. I remember that clip. That nigga got shook, cause he said, “Ghost you a funny dude” like Ghost was a clown or something.
Real recognize real nigga. Ghost is the truth man
August 1st, 2009 at 1:36 am
Who’s the wack rapper you talking bout? Drake? Wayne? TI? Gucci Mane? Maino?
August 1st, 2009 at 6:07 am
what is the big deal we all know rappers today r about nothing .they say nothing but the same thing i got money ,cars, girls and bling. big deal so what give me the rappers that talks about life. every day shit hard time growing up in ghetto shit that i can relate to not, about a dance r some girl with a big ass give me krs-1, common, eric b and rakim.

baggiest jeans i ever saw
August 1st, 2009 at 8:48 am
‘Do something about it.’ do what? put out the same bullshit as everyone else? ur ignorant.
August 1st, 2009 at 1:53 pm
are you stupid!?! That’s the conclusion you drew from “do something about it?”
Lmao at displaying your own ignorance. When I say “do something about it”, i mean they should come out with better-quality real hip hop. Shit so good that radio will HAVE to fuck with it because it’s so good. e.g. maybe another Supreme Clientele or something like that.
THINK MOTHAF*CKA, THINK!

@ fuck dat
just ’cause you don’t understand what he’s saying doesn’t mean he’s just making ish up. You have to think outside the Build-Power(85er) mind-frame and think metaphoricaly. What visuals come to mind when you hear:
“the vivid laser eye guide
Jump in the Harley ride, Clarks I freak a lemon pie
I’m bout it, bout it – Lord forgive me, Ms. Sally shouted
Tracey got shot in the face, my house was overcrowded
You fake cats done heard it first
On how I shitted on your turf
at times, Cuban Link verse yo
Check out the rap kingpin, summertime fine jewelry drippin
Face in the box, I seen your ear twitchin
As soon as I drove off, Cap’ came to me with three sawed-offs
Give one to Rae’, let’s season they broth
Lightning rod fever heaters, knock-kneeder Sheeba for hiva
Diva got rocked from the receiver bleeder
Portfolio, lookin fancy in the pantry
My man got bigger dimes son, your shit is scampi
Base that, throw what’s in your mouth, don’t waste that
See Ghost lampin in the throne with King Tut hat
Straight off”

This generation is SAD. When people start questioning the talent of MC’s such as Ghostface, there’s a problem.
August 2nd, 2009 at 10:43 pm
Co Sign. People should really think before they type.
August 2nd, 2009 at 10:50 pm
I can understand where you’re coming from to a certain extent. Some Southern MC’s do get a bad rep. Wayne isn’t necessarily one of them. Wayne gets a bad rep because of his ‘best Rapper alive’ boast and his non-storytelling ability.
Not to cont on a Weezy rant I’ll say this: Face is extremely creative and so is the Wu as a whole. BUT let’s not sit here and pretend as if there’s NO WAY to change the Hip Hop landscape.
I’ll be glad when all these Rap vets stop beefin long enough to fix these problems that they keep complaining about. Agree?
August 16th, 2009 at 12:04 pm
Some of you motherfuckers need to take some writing classes or something because you can’t write worth shit. Ghostface is telling the fucking truth HipHop today is bullshit. These so called rappers they are not lyrical they don’t have talent. Period. This shit makes me sick.
September 16th, 2009 at 7:40 pm
