Ghostface Killah is critically acclaimed for his loud, fast-paced flow, and his stream-of-consciousness narratives containing cryptic slang and non-sequiturs.
Ghostface Killah was raised in the Stapleton housing projects in Staten Island, New York. In his autobiographical song "All That I Got Is You", Ghost tells the story of his childhood. He raps about how he grew up in a three bedroom apartment without his father, who left him at the age of six. Apparently, his mother had nine children.
His stage name was taken from one of the characters in the 1979 kung fu film Mystery of Chessboxing.
He was also a close friend of the three founding members of Wu-tang clan

Ghostface Killah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah miraculous, the arsonists
Yo, kicked down the door on the spot, 260
2L, I heard they had O's for sale
I heard the same shit, money drive a burgundy whip
Keep it low, faded licenses plates and great plate
Where's the cat from, think he's from New Jerusalem
Power sun, jungle, physical, you know the God
He go with Tim, the one who called Lover of God
Y, Equality Self, I know the natural law now
It's time to get the God U and blow like mines
But on the low I heard he got born original sin
Back in a drive-through Kentucky Fried shot up his Ac
We got to get him Dunn, aliens is snatching our bread
U.F.O.'s moving in with bigger plans than Fed, yo
Knock on Daddy-O's door get the scope
He's not home, he took Ishmael to Park Slope
There go the the dreads yo, swindle two bags of that stuff
That get you crashed out had you laid out like bums
Peace Kiana, what's up with your girlfriend Wanda
She drive a green Honda, with legs like Jane Fonda
I just left her, she took Rashaan to Pathmark then
Jetted to Canal to get her man some Clarks
She said be back in ninety minutes, Ghostface God forbid
She say, peace to W, who's watching the kids?
Two hours later, scheming like De Niro in Casino
Son better have more coke than Al Pacino
Keana ain't telling no lies, last year she did a sting and a half
And Tymeek bought her a aircraft
But anyway, yo, Daddy-O home, we need the shotties nidow
When we get back, throw you a bit out
Later that night, stay mesmerized yo
Go get the green 5, meet you on the corner of Marriott
You ready, you got the E&J and the machete?
We going upstairs, I hope one nigga is empty
We walked in, both of us, looked like terrorists
Masks on, second floor, Dunn yo, I handle this
Kick in the crib, the whole shit looked graphical
Natural, fucking a white bitch, actual
Fiends chanting, "Do your thing Chef, handle it"
I shot him in the neck, it ricocheted and hit Carolyn
Ran to the back analyzing, much disguising
Surprise we coming and their eyes were tranquilized
And bugging, throwing her twin cousins at his nugget, fuck it
Meet shottie waddy slug body hobby
Where the drugs, where the ounces you be bouncing
Fake cats announcing on the block, you lounging
Where the blow at, I ain't got shit, stop fronting
(Yo Chef, throw the joint in his mouth, money'll start stunting
Bitch, show that bit, before I push your wig back
Chef stop waving that, show him where the paper at)
Come here Valerie, you know the God he need a salary
Put down the pipe here's two tickets to a coke gallery
It's in the kitchen in the ceiling
(Baby girl kept squealing
Only found a white block of cheese from New Zealand
Oh shit! Yo, yo where that shit at yo?
Yo Chef, where that shit? What?)

Only found a white block of cheese from New Zealand
We couldn't find any drugs
Oh shit! Yo, yo where that shit at yo?
We realize we have been deceived
Yo Chef, where that shit? What?)
We demand answers from Ghostface Killah

Bro there isn't any bad song in this album i dont get why Ghost doesn't like it. The production is so Wu and the features are great obviously with chef and Cappadonna and Ghost is Ghost.
@cruzny634
He said because he felt rushed to deliver the album...
@percival6815
Pretty sure the only albums of his he really likes are Ghostdini: Wizard of Poetry in Emerald City and probably Supreme Clientele.
"I donβt never sit back and listen to my music. I did it, you know what I mean? Because Iβve got a thing with me where itβs like β¦ I know I couldβve did better." The man is a perfectionist and while we fans might love a certain album of his, he probably had a different vision for it which he wasn't able to execute.
@calmb01
I could do without wildflower on that album. It's too cringy
@IDONTLIKETHATSHIT
