Ghostface Killah was born and raised in the slums of Shaolin. You may recognize him preforming with such other rappers like- Rakewon the Chef and Cappadonna. Both of which have released solo albums in stores now and are members of the Wu-Tang Clan. Now considered a veteran of rap, he guest starred on Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, by the platinum-seller Raekwon, now has released his own album, 1995 Ironman, and in 2000 Supreme Clientele.
Ironman was the last cd to be released before everyone started sayin wu had changed their style, which I believe is true. Ironman is an ill cd, with production done mainly by RZA. The album features Cappadonna, Raekwon, U-God, Masta Killah, Inspectah Deck, Method Man, RZA, Streetlife and Mary J. Blige. The biggest hit of the album was All That I Got Is You, but lyrically Winter Warz is the best track on the album in my opinon which features Raekwon, Cappadonna, Masta Killah, U-God and Ghostface. Ghostface claims he and his clan were the first to have other names, after he made Tony Starks. He also was the first to wear the popular foot-wear named Wallabees. He made his shoes into all different colors and showed a little bit of them on the cover of Ironman. He introduced these shoes to all the people and shortly after he did, the sales for them went up, along with the price for them. When he first rocked them, you could only find them on the DL, but now you can see them all over the place. Ghost and Rae were also the first to form the Wu-Gambino thing. Ghost just wants the other people to realize what he's done for them, and by saying "Give all Praises due."
When people hear his music he "Wants them to say,' Yo thats that Wu nigga. He's one of them nine niggas, he nasty." Supreme Clientele got good reviews from almost everyone. At the time it came out, many people were givin' up on the Wu because "they didn't have their old sound anymore." Every Clan member made an apperance on the album, except O.D.B. and Inspectah Deck. Even Redman, Superb of American Cream Team, and 60 Second Assassin of Sunz of Man made it on the album. This album has some of the best rhymes and beats and made a break-though for the Wu. Standout tracks on the album are Buck 50, Wu-Banga 101, Mighty Healty, One, Apollo Kids, and of course Chez Chez La Ghost. Ghost and RZA were also included in a large part of the Source magazine, March 2000 issue. They mainly talked about the new Ghost album and the past releases form the Wu, with the lack of RZA production. Ghost also talks about how the Wu brought many different trends to hip-hop. It also has some pictures of them (RZA, Ghost, and Capp.) together, and very good information about them can be found in it.
He's work on many other albums and sound tracks in the past and is still going strong. In between the time of his first album to his second he's done Wu-Tang Forever, CappaDonna - The Pillage, and Rza Presents The Swarm. He also received good reviews for the preformances he did on the soundtracks for 'Sunset Park' and 'Don't Be a Menace to South Central while you're Drinking Your Juice in the Hood.' Ghostface Plans on doing two duo albums in the year 2001, one of the with Raekwon (Cuban Linx 2001) and the other with Cappadonna (Crayons).
