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.
Word. Nothing gives away a hip hop head like saying "ghost never makes sense"

Dude literally had that style for 3 years MAX And has dropped. Othing but story albums for past 5 years. shyts ridiculous

:what:

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.

Naa...I only brought up sales when dude lied and said the 2 Cube albums wasnt getting any love in music media. He used music media as his source and then acted as if music media wasnt fukking with those 2 Cube albums.



Keep in mind...I never even brought up the fact that Cube shyt wa released independent while Ghost was on a major called DEF JAM :mjlol:


but again....I only brought up sales cuz dude lied about those 2 Cube albums not being acknowledged by music media. So when he lied...I went to where he couldnt lie.

I shoulda just ignored ya slow ass when you implied that Ghost was encouraging Black women to suck white dikk.


interpretation;


Damn Smoke..u stumped me so now I gotta say some bullshyt that has nothing to do with nothing.



and you're the one who is slow....I was implying that Ghost was crying about the Blackwoman getting raped by the whiteman while Cube said kill the whiteman.

Lol why would I be embarssed :rudy:

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.


If you don't understand the music he makes now, and for about 15 years, than you must not understand English very well. He only used that abstract style for a few years.

not you as well bro...
:rudy:
Ita true tho bro

Ghost drops better street rhymes
Ghost is a better storyteller
Ghost picks better beats
Ghost got more styles

Ghost can rap about being a lil boy kissing on lil girls on the school bus
And the next somg will be about ansolutely nothing but sound fly
And the next song will about hearjng his boy was killed n crying for revenge
And the next joint will be about cartoons
And the next one will be bout running from the cops
And the next one will be just fly rhymes
And the next will be shytting on a bird

You know what u gettinf with a cube verse. And while he was on top of the game early on in his career with the socoially concioua street shyt, he was replaced by tupac and the whole world moved on

Ice cube is damn near one dimensional compared to ghostface and cube got classics on classics but you already know what u gettjng when ya buy a cube album: talking tough with the same flow/delivery everytravk with really great atories thrown in.

Ghostface can do everything cube can do and then some.

Post me 20 songs where cube takes a different approach style to each song.

I could EASILY do this for ghost

Had to fact check the independent label statement cause it seemed weird to me. But good for Cube to get that many sales while independent:obama:

I'd argue Cube's accessibility as a reason why he ended up getting more sales than Ghost. Fishscale is better than LNCL in almost every way but LNCL is probably more accessible than Fishscale

Na it's just because Cube is bigger

I think Ghost is more versatile and creative with concepts than Cube but I don't think you can say he's a better storyteller. Their styles are so different it makes for a tough comparison. I think it's really close anyway. They're my 1 and 2. But it's just that Cube's peak work gives him the edge for me, while I'll admit Ghost's longevity and consistency is unmatched.

Basically. Its apples and oranges

Once upon a time in the projects is one of the dopest story telling tracks. shyt is classic.

Again he has some joints I like. But when people highlight his best work it's the stuff I can't get into and I've been rocking with Cube my entire life. I'm not saying Ghost is terrible. I'm choosing Cube cause he's one of my favorites. But I do think that people overrate him but we all do that with our favorite artists.
