Should I go and see Ghostface Killah?
 
i can't make up my mind, any of you seen him before?

porkmarras 09.27.2006 06:49 PM

I'm trying to found out if Cat Power's 'The greatest' was meant for me.

jennthebenn 09.27.2006 07:31 PM

only as a member of wu-tang...but you knew that.

good chance he'll do "wildflower" acapella, that right there should justify
half the ticket price. i would go.

I have his live in NYC video...you should see him for sure. I love ghostface. Childs play is like, one of my all time fav's

Richard Pryor on Fire 09.27.2006 08:41 PM

Of course go see Ghostface!

thewall91 09.27.2006 09:01 PM

i haven't seen him, but as a general concert rule, if you have any desire, you should go. i, for one, am going to see air supply next week, out of curiosity alone.

nature scene 09.27.2006 09:09 PM

definitely go.

HaydenAsche 09.27.2006 10:23 PM

Go. You won't be disappointed.

Cantankerous 09.27.2006 10:35 PM

i'm going to go against the grain and say no.

krastian 09.27.2006 11:35 PM

Hell yeah man.....go.

sonic sphere 09.28.2006 04:08 AM

yes. i haven't seen him live and he might turn up pissed and only do 20 minutes or not show up at all but if he's on form he's almost untouchable.

Glice 09.28.2006 07:27 AM

It'll cost you£rape. It'll be at a big venue that'll be silly busy. You'll probably get the usual lazy bollocks that Americans rappers bring over here rather than a good show.

On the other hand, I hear Jay-Z was shit hot at the RAH last night.

Go, stay, don't care, make a sandwich. One or more of those things.

DemonBox 09.28.2006 07:55 AM

If you can afford it, I think you should go.

nomowish 09.28.2006 02:55 PM

Bring a lyric sheet of all of his songs if you don't know them by heart. He often raps pretty fast and uses obscure slangs. He's definitely my favorite rapper and one of the most underrated. He needs to work with more adventurous producers, though, like maybe a live band like The Roots. And he should definitely only work with rappers who are on or above his level (only Raekwon stood toe-to-toe with him on Fishscale)

"Wildflower" is incredibly dirtier than its title implies.

Here's the heavily edited version of it

Yo [...] I [...] your friend, yeah you stank [...]
I seen her on the elevator, honey grabbed my Kangol
She put me on to mega-[...], bout to slap the [...]
She shot crazy verbal, I leaned back like I'm rich
It took place late night on February 17th
Hands flooded like ink, my face on her magazine
Just got back from Honolulu, pockets stackin boucoup cash
Girlfriend sipped the Yoo-hoo and laughed, yo
While I was on tour, [...], you went to work
Quick fast, had a [...] [...] in the dirt
You couldn't wait just to kidnap the bait of my sperm
Where's you at, [...]? 'Pinky house, she put in my perm'
That's all you ever said to me, thought that could hold me
Remember when I long-[...] you and broke your ovary?
You crab [...], chickenhead [...], eatin' heros
I'm the first [...] that had you watchin flicks by DeNiro
You gained crazy points, baby, just bein with God
Taught you how to eat the right foods, fast, and don't eat lard
I gave you earth lessons, I came to you as a blessin
You didn't do the knowledge what the God was manifestin
You sneaky [...] [...], your ways and actions told it all
I [...] you while you was bleedin, held you down in malls
Sexually you worshipped my [...] like a cross
I had you fiend out, broke out, for a month you fell off
You was my main [...], my peeps showed you love on the strength
You saw how I got down, the way I thought had you tranked
But you had to [...] this rasta-head [...] [...]
I shoulda slapped ya but the Gods said chilllllllll
"That's your wiz fault, god, handle that in the lab"
I'm wonderin how many times your hot [...] got stabbed
You dumb [...], horny hot [...] from out the mountains
Your clientele is low [...], catch you next show, bro
I got jerked, gave away my [...], that [...] hurt
It feel like somebody died or shot your old Earth
But [...] it, I [...] you on a chair with three legs
Broken tables, had you screamin while you was bitin on my cables
Whistlin to the washing machine, I threw it on spin
If your [...] dry, spit on my [...] and put it in
My [...] the bomb baby, marvelous hot steak
Plus I'm conceited Starks make the biggest so-called rape
I'm God, cipher divine love my [...] real fine
That means clean the FDS smell with a shine
Word up, respect that [...]

Don't go against the grain, the grain....

He is so fucking funny live. YOu gotta go.

ONly Bulilt Built for Cuban Linx II is done and is going to be amazing, although I heard ghostface isn't on it much at all.

o o o 09.29.2006 05:11 PM

(assuming the concert in question here is to take place in London)
