A brilliant piece of work from
Ghostface Killah, notable as one of the better
Wu Tang solo works. Tracks include
Apollo Kids, Cher Chez la Ghost, One, and Buck 50.
Ghostface's trademark abstraction has led to a number of gourmet references such as
strawberry-kiwi, ziti, and
grouper. While seemingly nonsensical, the track Childhood, prefaced by a skit of
Wu Tang Clan members discussing what famous
African-American females they would like to have sex with, includes a number of classic candies from many a youth's childhood in the lyrics. This begs the question, are his lyrics truly abstract, or is it a reference we don't understand? The video for
Apollo Kids shows Ghostface rapping while deftly handling an
ice-cream cone, which suggests he may just be a foodie.
