Ice Cube vs Ghostface Killah

My dude...u said

And neither one of those Cube albums were received as well as the Ghost albums.


Those are your words..Not mine


I say the streets of NYC aint bumping ghost...u jump to critical acclaim. I think back to what the mags were saying when those 2 Cube albums dropped and u say that didnt happen...so I bring up sales and here u are jumping for the 3rd time.

in 2006 Ghost dropped 2 albums that when added up still wouldnt = gold. Yet Cube dropped 1 gold album that same year.....and Fishcale is considered one of Ghosts best while u say Laugh Now wasn't special.....so something that wasnt special sold more then one of Ghosts best huh?


I dont believe u anymore. If Ghost was killing shyt like u said it would show in the sales.

Again...you must be slow. The conversation was about critical reception. Why would you think I was talking about commercial success? You're the only one that brought up sales in this thread. Better sales doesn't equate better MC. If we're gonna guage MCs by sales than Vanilla Ice and Hammer are better MCs than Rakim and KRS-ONE.

Fishscale is gonna be remembered far more than Laugh Now, Cry Later ever will. 10 years after their releases I always see Fishscale regarded as a classic but NEVER have I ever seen anyone say Laugh Now, Cry Later is a classic.

I don't think sales should be a good representation for acclaim. MC Hammer's album went diamond but does anyone give a shyt about it? Hell to the no.

ghostface is overrated on this site

This. He has some joints thats nice. But half of the time I have no idea wtf he's talking about. It's like he's rambling in a different language with that made up slang. I understand some people find it dope cause it is creative but it sounds like gibberish half the time.


Going with Cube. Dude had the greatest run in hip hop.

This is the talking point of someone who has severe lack of knowledge of Ghostface's career. Ghost has been around for about 25 years and he used that abstract style for only about 3 of those years.

Lol and it seems like a lot people try to act like they know what he's talking about.

That's part of the reason I had a hard time getting into his music. Sounded like he was rambling half the time.

You don't listen to his music. Play ANY ONE of his solo tracks from the past 10 years, post it and try to claim again you don't know what he's saying. You'll be embarrassed for sure.

Lol why would I be embarssed

That's just my opinion. I'm not saying he's whack, because a part of me really wants to enjoy his music. I'm just being honest when I say i dont understand it.
