If you’re in Seattle, I hope to see you at the downtown Showbox tonight. Tony Starks, a.k.a. Ghostface Killah, a.k.a. Ghostdini, is gonna be doing his thing, and it’s sure to be a great performance. I really feel like Ghost has come in to his own on his new album. It’s a more mature album, but it’s not corny or nothing like that. I’ts just good, soulful hip hop with an extra dash of R & B. But, of course, it’s still Ghostface, so it’s got that grimey gangsta core to it too. I’ve been steadily listening to the Wizard of Poetry since it came out and I’m still not bored.
Come to think about it, I’m almost never dissapointed in what he puts out. This is a good thing. It’s why I’m looking forward to a night of straight bangers from start to finish.
Here’s Ghostface talking about the state of hip hop, how it’s changed, and how new rappers have lost touch with their roots – real talk:
Also, here’s Ghostface talking about his new album:

And he wrecked the house last night on top of everything else…
