He definitely did, between them dropping their worst group album, ODB dying and most of the group dropping forgettable albums besides Masta Killa with “No said date” and GZA with “Grandmasters” it was a dark time for the Wu it didn’t feel like they were forever in that moment of time, but Fishscale kicked off a great year for the Wu he had the whole crew on a song for the first time in a while which was needed, then Meth dropped maybe his best album and Masta Killa dropped another great album, then the OBFCL 2 talk started and the rest is history, but when Wu was mostly an afterthought Ghost was building one of the great catalogs ever in hip hop
BRO I've been waiting for you to get to this song! Absolutely one of Ghost's best story tracks ever. Pimpin Chipp off the Meth Ghost Rae project was amazing too! Check that one out!
Frank ask him where the cash at!! I believe Ghost is telling a story of him and Frank white aka Biggie!! That’s just my theory!! He wished him and Big never beefed!!
FishScale is one of the best hip hop albums of the 2000’s. It’s Ghost’s peak. He is so under appreciated with younger listeners. I hope his catalog gets more attention.
Check his song "Whip You With A Strap." He's rappin about growing up with his mom how she whip his butt for being bad. Lol. You'll love this one. He got some real funny rhymes in that story. 💪🏿👐
Ghost is a dope story teller but how is he greater than Slick Rick??? They all took from Slick Rick's story telling style. Slick might only have 4 studio albums but damn near every song is a story. He never did much cussin either besides a few songs. Slick was the one with all those multiple characters that Biggie ended up bitin off of Slick. Ghost favorite mc is Slick Rick. Too many other great story tellers also I can't put Ghost at #1. Other great - G.Rap, Cube, Mc Shan, Nas, Ice-T, Fresh Prince, Dana Dane, Mc Eiht, Scarface, Willie D, Black Rob, Dmx, K-Solo, Biz Markie (even though Kane wrote some of his greatest stories), Krs One, Melle Mel, Black Thought, Biggie, Andre 3,000, Big L, Mos Def, Common, Chuck D, Gza, Masta Ace, and plenty more.
Ghost has the part two to this too, on the Big Doe Rehab album. It’s also called Shakey Dog, but it’s “Shakey Dog Starring Lolita.” “Yolanda’s House” with Method Man is a really good track off that album too.
Bro I'm from the UK and the producer of this joint is Lewis Parker, his style can compared to a UK Pete Rock. He uses a classic SP 1200 for his signature sound. Joey Badass did a song using his music too. He's got bangers for days with UK heavweight emcees! His album "Masquerades & Silhouettes" is dope! I'd recommend the songs "Eyes Of Dreams" "101 Pianos" (I've Put Out The Lights) "No Escape" feat Klashnekoff & Skriblah
You should react to ghostdini, ghost made an R&B rap album full of storytelling. The hardcore Wu-Tang fans didn't felt it but I think it's one of the most original projects on the Wu Universe. I recommend ' Do Over', 'Paragraph of love', 'Forever'
Peace King. You should go back a few seconds every time you talk over a part because any little word or two is crucial to the story and you can easily miss something.
Album is fire too. Nobody paints a picture like him and rae. Their lyrics are so vivid the words come to life. You can actually visualize every single thing they are saying. That is unmatched!!
I don't know if I'd give him the crown but he's up there. He's been the most consistent member of Wu until recently. You have to check out his album Ghostdeini. I consider it his take on R&B, rap & blues.
"The night the city cried" off U-Gods first album..."260" of Ghost Iornman album, the Hilton off bulletproof wallets, and the slept on "Underwater" off Fishscale..Ghost,Big,Nas,Slick Rick, and 3Stacks are thee best storytellers in my opinion
Ghost is a storytelling beast but you gotta check out " A Thugs Love Story" by ya boy Kool G Rap. This song will definitely fuck you up, He gotta be top 2!! No! Number 1.
First of all "Peace!" Young God. 2nd , don't refer to a MC as the best. Say that nigga is my favorite...I can't argue with you about who's ur favorite. Saying this or that nigga is the BEST leaves mad room for debate.....if he's the best than the rest are worse. But GFK Is Bananas, the God is sick.
I know people don't want to feel like they're disrespecting Biggie (RIP) by saying someone is better than him at something, but let's be real: Ghostface, Nas, and either Ice Cube or Slick Rick are the top 3 storytellers in rap history. Ghostface is the best just based off shear volume of great storytelling songs and verses. The man has whole storytelling albums. Biggie is a legend for storytelling and rapping in general, but he can't be the best with two albums and like 15 storytelling tracks when these other artists have 50+ songs that are at least on the same level as Biggie's storytelling songs
I think i recommended this track a while back. Glad you finally checked it out. That one particular line "smell like fish from 125" if you ever been by the fish market on 125th street in Harlem its a very distinct smell haha
I agree that ghostface is #2 in storytelling, listen to Kool g rap thug love story 1and 2 it’s together it’ll blow your mind , how gifted g rap is and how vivid he paints a picture, but other than g rap, ghost is the best I stand corrected it’s 1,2 and 3, 9 minutes long
Ghost is top 5, but Slick Rick is the GOAT storyteller. Literally 95% of Rick's joints are stories, nobody fucking with that. He has stories about EVERYTHING.
