What is Ghost saying?
lor...@my-deja.com
almost fell outa my chair when i heard that. the new album sounds dope
but the shit that Ghost says makes me bug like "gurrilas injected
straight with 80 midgets." "ohh the rev ain't right" and some other
shit....
also listened to Immoboilarity(sp) and some songs are alright like "100
Rounds" and the lyrics on #14 are really dope. oh yeah "My Favorite
Dread" is not that bad either. over all i thought it could be way
better....
PEACE from Hawaii

that shit"

this one is pretty simple, the reverand. The reverand had 3 condoms fall out
his pocket-which means he's fucking hoes, rather than his wife. 2 Dice-rev
gambling too. 1 bag of dope-if he aint in trouble yet, this did it. The whole
church is corrupt:
Yo bottles going off in the church we broke the wine
Slap the pastor didnt know pop had asthma
He pulled out his blue bible change fell out his coat
Three condoms two dice one bag of dope
Oooh rev aint right, his church aint right
Deacon is a pimp tell by his eyes
Mrs. Parks said "brother Starks meet you at the number spot
Heard you got red tops out and I want alot"
Shirley fainted dead on the spot
Two ushers slipped 80 dollars right out the pot oh shit
as for
biggie's versaces snow white rabbit
It just describes the wardrobe of either him or the parrot he just had his nose
up: It's a white versace suit, just like biggie used to wear. Ever see a white
rabbit? Them shit's is white, ever see snow? Very white! What better way to
paint a picture, great adjectives.
>"gurrilas injected
>straight with 80 midgets."
as for this, I have to see the verse, to explain this, I might not be able to,
shit the above might be wrong but thats what I get out of it. A picture is
worth a thousand words, while a wu verse is worth a few hundred at least.
Ghost really isnt that abstract if compared to raekwon.

This actually isn't on Supreme Clientele; it's from Guillotine (Swordz) on Cuban
Linx.

Cool verse. And I definitely agree with you on Ghost's lyricism. It's very
abstract and vague -- it's the perfect approximation of thoughts into words.

don't make sense. Of course there's gonna be some smart ass who will say
they understand everything he says. Even when you analyze 'em you may
read into some of his rhymes the wrong way. It's good to be an abstract
writer/emcee and not be one dimensional but not to the point where you
lose the listener.

size and strength of a gorilla, either on steroids or just self obtained with
the strength of 80 midgets. Midgets are small and compact, especially where
you see midgets the most is wrestling, and they usually muscular for their
stature.

>easy thing to do.
yeah rza said something like this, this is why master P sells so many records,
theres alot more idiot hiphop listeners who can understand and relate to his
songs, than a wu song, he dissed the south saying there were alot of ignorant
people down there, if anyone knows where this interview was or can be found,
it'd be appreciated, was looking for it a few months ago but never found it

Perhaps you're one of 'em smart ass. Noone in this ng has been
slobbering over this new Ghost joint more than you so I'm not surprised
by your sarcastic remark.

about 30 different places.

line. Ghost was like, "I dont' even know what it means youknowwhatI'msayin?"
Basically, he said sometimes, he'll have a vision, and he'll just write it
down, some obscure stuff. If you'd have asked him then, he'd have told you what
it meant, but now he's not so sure. The man said it himself.

And speaking of Rap City, what happened with Ghost and Tigger? I keep hearin of
how he dissed Tigga, but everyone that tells me about it says they heard about
it from someone else and didn't actually see it.

if you go to sohh.com, you can stream the whole ghost interview that took
place, I remember he was asked about that, he said something happened, but
they're alright now.

ago. Ghost was buggin' out. Ghost and Tigga don't got beef..him and
Ghost were joking around. The Basement is bull shit, B.E.T tries to give
the impression that some of the shit isn't rehearsed but it is,
especially that episode with Rakim where they kept makin' Ra
disappear(corny). I think heads are talking about the part when Ghost
had a bag and Tigga was like "yo Ghost what's in that bag"..and Ghost
was cursing at Tigga telling him ain't shit funny and don't worry about
what's in the bag. Ghost seemed serious as hell but he wasn't.

sure it is. possibly the explanation would lose the effect, possibly
that interview isn't the right time and place. possibly it was
forgotten. if you use simple uncomplicated rhymes surely this 'problem'
wouldn't occur as often. but with complicated rhymes, metaphor, similie,
symbolism, etc, etc the chance for the meaning to be obscured increases
even by the creator. it doesn't mean he is dumb.

It was funny as shit. You should've seen it, Ghost kept on dissing Tigga. Tigga
would say something all kissing ass and smiling, then Ghost was like
"hey, you think this is a f*(8 joke? Wipe that smirk off your face, for real".
His expression was dead serious.
Then, Ghost was pulling out a cigar, and Tigga was like no. Ghost like stared
him down.'
But it was a joke ofcourse, else it wouldn't be televised.

that's understandable, but when your own obscurity often prevents you from
providing any kind of insight then what is the point of an interview? btw, i
never meant to imply that ghost as a person is dumb. i wouldn't judge
someone based on that.

Yeah that was wack. I don't like The Basement at all. Maybe when they
freestyle in the studio a little bit. Tigger is always yelling up to his mom
about dinner and people are coming through the window instead of the door.
It's bogus.
Also in that bag Ghost had, wasn't it the Wu-Tang game and a playstation.
Maybe it was that suitcase, I don't remember. That show is bogus.

Like I said before, maybe he just didn't feel like going into it for whatever
reason.
Or it was just a rhyme that sounded dope to him and that was it. It doesn't
have any hidden or deep meaning.

I've never seen it in my life (I don't get BET here), but it's weird...
everyone talks about how wack Tigger is, and they describe certain things
that go on in his show, but it all sounds kinda funny to me... maybe it's
less funny than it sounds, I don't know.

I have to agree with you. I'm reminded of Rakim's words:
When I translate the situation's straight
No dictionary's necessary to use
Big words do nothing but confuse and elude
and:
If [a record is] understood and the story is strong
You can speak out and hold the crowd as prisoners

sorry, chief, in even my rhymes with triple meaning in the lines, i still
remember everything i was writing about...ghost's shit is essentially the
written equivalent of free hand painting...or maybe finger painting...haha
