"Heavyweight rhyme writer..." - Ghostface Killah


There is a short list of rappers who can 'set it off' on a Big Daddy Kane beat. Ghostface Killah is one of them. The beats-per-minute of this Kane track far exceeds what Ghost typically spits to, though you would not be able to tell by listening to it. He is as comfortable on this as he is on a Rza or Mathematics produced track. The content is very much in line with what you'd expect from him, story telling, imagery, metaphors and earnestness.
