Ghostface Killah

Episode notes

Ghostface Killah, a founding member of the hip-hop collective Wu-Tang Clan. The group changed what people thought rap music could be in the early ’90s.

In a group full of hard, intense MCs who gave it their all on every track, Ghostface is maybe the hardest, most intense, most likely to leave it out all on the floor. 

Take their album Enter the 36 Chambers, which is an intense debut. The track “Bring da Ruckus” kicks off the record – Ghostface raps the first verse and completely crushes it. 

Supreme Clientele, his second solo album cemented his legacy as a hip-hop great. If you pull up one of those 100 best rap albums of all times list, you’re bound to see it show up.

Earlier this year, Ghostface Killah put out Supreme Clientele 2. Sequel albums can be a fraught thing in hip-hop. The original came out decades ago and not many artists are keen to invite comparisons to their younger selves. But here’s the good news: Ghostface has still got it. 

Ghostface Killah joins us on the latest episode of Bullseye to talk about the follow-up. He also opens up about being responsible for two of his younger brothers with muscular dystrophy.
