Biography

Dennis Coles (born May 9, 1970), better known by his stage name Ghostface Killah, is an American rapper and member of the Wu-Tang Clan. After the group achieved breakthrough success in the aftermath of Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), the members went on to pursue solo careers to varying levels of success. Ghostface Killah debuted his solo-career with Ironman in 1996, which was well received by music critics. He has continued his success over the following years with critically acclaimed albums such as Supreme Clientele (2000) and Fishscale (2006). His stage name was taken from one of the characters in the 1979 kung fu film Mystery of Chessboxing. He is the founder of his own label Starks Enterprises. Ghostface Killah is critically acclaimed for his loud, fast-paced flow, and his emotional stream-of-consciousness narratives containing cryptic slang and non-sequiturs. In 2006, MTV included him on their honorable mention list of The Greatest MCs of All Time,while the editors of About.com placed him on their list of the Top 50 MCs of Our Time (1987–2007), calling him "one of the most imaginative storytellers of our time."] Q magazine called him "rap's finest storyteller." Pitchfork Media stated that, "Ghostface has unparalleled storytelling instincts; he might be the best, most colorful storyteller rap has ever seen."NPR called him "a compulsive storyteller", and asserted, "His fiction is painterly."

LYRICS

Staten Island
Staten Island
Staten Island
Yeah. '88 shit
Let's go. Uh-huh

The most valuable, bars that'll clap you
Black British rockers with diamonds in the tassels
Cascade kids rock more glass that'll splash you
My gooned-out project got a Tony Stark statue
I'm like Gandhi on dust 'cause young niggas swinging their blade
Them chain-swinging, cats remind me of us

We got old money, old twenties, gold mouthful of fronts
We're in the Swiss Alps fucking mad snow bunnies
Syringe rap. Forty bundles of smack
I seen lawyers get strung. They started off with the crack

The plug sent me ten bricks. I sent all of 'em back
So, they sent me half of a hundred, had to get 'em on that
I got my Cam'ron gun, rubber grip with the pink nozzle
Skate routs, dirt bikes, moving like Chapo
Bulletproof Spalding googles, cop-killer "hollows"
Fuck around and get the whole shell like a taco

Yeah, yeah, yo, yeah
Ghost is global. Classic soul food
Teddy Pendergass on wax with the nasty vocals
Penthouse, doorknobs, drawers, and the floors is opal
Diamond safe rooms. The indoor pool is purple

Superb like Bird and Magic
A real deep thinker with silk words that's smoother than virgin fabric
In them two-tone gummies, I'm the first to have it
We don't fuck on bearskin rugs. Just Persian rabbits
We mad nice. Cigar and a glass of water
Got excited when the plug made it past the border
Flood the Floridas straight down to Bora Bora
We ate rotis for eighteen days like we was foreigners
