Viceland.com Interview

Ghost-Interview übers Essen mit viceland.com:

	What more could be said about Ghostface at this point? The guy epitomizes every single thing this magazine stands for. His musical contributions are unsung, yet unmatched. He’s single-handedly responsible for the soul sampling that made Kanye famous, the emo raps that became Jay-Z’s blueprint, and the Clarks Wallabees that got you through life without wearing a pair of square shoes. His retrofuturistic slang is inimitable. He gave truck jewels a new cultural significance. He’s the only reason you own a bathrobe. That said, his relevance within rap’s current climate seems to be in jeopardy. Indeed, for a hip-hop audience of inner-city reggaeton-bred borinqueñas and wiggered-out suburban G-Unit soldiers, what does this middle-aged eccentric have to offer? The answer is: A cryptic, experimental, and decidedly left-field classic album. Let’s go over the Tony Starks discography for a second. Ironman came out at the height of the Wu era, when RZA’s awkward percussions and lo-fi Gregorian chants could do no wrong. Four years later, Supreme Clientele drops, and it’s absolutely flawless. Effortlessly conjuring up Wu nostalgia, it solidifies Ghost’s rep as the Clan’s only remaining star. However, Deini attempted to replicate the formula the following year with Bulletproof Wallets and it flopped. And let’s face it, aside from an amazing first single, 2004’s Pretty Toney Album wasn’t much of anything either. So how does this year’s upcoming Fishscale manage to recapture and even transcend Supreme Clientele’s magic? Well, for one, RZA’s out of the picture. Oddly enough, the Wally Champ replaced him with backpack superlegend MF Doom. And the results are spectacular. Instead of shying away from Ghostface’s oddities, as did his previous efforts, Fishscale emphasizes them. What you get is the spontaneity of Clientele mixed with the off-the-wall lyricism of Ironman. Once again, it’s time to eat fish, toss salads, and make rap ballads. Perhaps Ghost’s been rejuvenated by the equally food-obsessed Doom. To find out, we caught the gargantuan MC at the catering table on the set of his latest video. As Jay once put it, this is food for thought, so get a plate. Vice: What was the food rider like today, Ghost? Ghostface: I didn’t even make this rider, G. I came in this morning and there was pork. I didn’t ask for that shit, the pork was already in the kitchen, you know? So I said what I had to say and shit, I barked a little bit, like “cut that shit,” and they went and got me some other shit. Like three hours later. Somebody went to the store for me and got me a little something something. You had a mixtape a couple of years ago that was called No Pork on My Fork. Yeah, Kay Slay named the mixtape that. It’s really just a name. But that CD was righteous right there, so there’s definitely no pork on my fork, period. So being that today’s rider was a bust, what would be on your ideal, perfect craft table? I’d just put like some soul food, man, you know? Macaroni and cheese, cornbread, you know what I mean, like I said in the song. Fish. There could also be some turkey wings or even meatloaf. Let’s see, what else? You know, some pasta, give me some stuffed shells or some lasagna or some ziti or something. That’s really it, you know what I mean? We can eat a steak, too. What did you mean when you said “My raps is like ziti”? That’s just how I come across, how I put my words together in my flow and my thinking. Since I might go left-field, that’s exactly what it is: My raps is like a bangin’ pot of ziti, you know what I mean? So you wouldn’t put anything fancy in the rider. Like, no caviar or none of that bougie shit. None of that. Caviar? I haven’t tasted that in my life, B. How about drinks? The best shit is right here: Water. That’s what I drink the most in my day. I like that Vitamin Water too, cuz it don’t got that much sugar in it, so that’s good for you. I like that. [Pointing to the faucet] That’s the best water right there, G. [To his manager] He don’t know nothing about that, [back to Vice] you don’t know about tap water, man. Before bottled water was out, man, tap water was all you got. It’s in the hood, man, you run in the bathroom and that shit be cold as shit. Drink it right out the shit, fuck a cup, you know what I mean? But that’s how it is, G. The hood is different now, now you got bottled water, there wasn’t that shit back in the days. Now you can pay for water, you know? You also said “Sugar water was our thing.” I bet you some people still drink it out of habit. They probably do, yeah, but I haven’t tried that since back then. Sugar water was when we was poor, coming up. I might fall the fuck out if I drink me some sugar water. How do you prepare it? Just put it in water, G, sugar and water. But it’s not good for the teeth, it’s not even good for your body, really, you know what I mean? You know, that’s when you poor, coming up in the hood and you ain’t got no Kool-Aid or nothing like that. And as a kid, you love sugar. It wasn’t like your mother told you to go make that, you know, you just made it on your own. OK, so just water on the rider, no juice? I mean it’s whatever your tongue tastes like. If your tongue tastes like an orange or a grape, you know what I mean, then you get some juice or something. Whatever your tongue tastes like, then that’s what it is, you know what I mean? Orange juice, apple juice, lemonade, iced tea—I like a lot of iced tea. I like iced tea, the regular ones, you know, Nestea iced teas and all that. How about fine wine? It seems that you were really into that in the Cuban Linx era. One of my chicks used to drink wine and shit. I don’t be knowing names though, all I know is Opus One, that’s the smooth one. I’m not into all that fucking Cabernets and shit. Chardonnays? Oh there’s a Chardonnay and a Cabernet? See, I didn’t know that, you know what I mean? I just thought it was Cabernets and Merlots. Wine is wine, but the smoothest wine is Opus. Now on to the dessert section of the rider. What do you need? I don’t have a favorite dessert, you know, but I love ice cream. I’m a diabetic, man, but I still love carrot cakes and chocolate cakes and pound cakes and shit like that. You know what I mean? Cookies here and there, it depends on the cookies and how your tongue feel. I’m not too big on the desserts. I just sent my grandma a carrot cake though. You had a song called “Mighty Healthy.” You were never a vegetarian, right? Nah man, I’m not vegetarian, G. I eat my vegetables and all that shit but you know, I get my little meats in here and there. You know what I mean, poultry and all that shit. You do seem to have lost a little weight. Is it safe to say you watch what you eat? Here and there. Those was just carbs I was eating just now. So you know, as long as I take my insulin man I’m alright. Do a little exercise here and there and I’m good. But I don’t watch everything and shit, I’m a regular person, I run around and shit. Sometimes it don’t be the correct shit that you should be eating on the road when you’re moving around, you know what I mean? I don’t have nobody to cook for me every day, so I eat what I can eat. I could cook for myself, but I don’t be doing the shit too often, you know what I mean? But if I do do it, then of course it’s gonna be right. You know my moms and them, I been around all that shit. I know what I gotta do. It’s just that you be too lazy to really get down like that. But I got pots and pans, G.

	Ghostface Killah: Mature, Focused and Elevating Hip Hop By davey D We sat down with Wu member Ghostface Killah and had an enlightening conversation about the current state of Hip Hop, the role he now needs to play as a rapper and as a Black man trying to uplift the community and his new album ‘Fishscales’. Ghostface talks about the big changes he’s made in his life including giving[img] up weed and becoming diabetic. He talks about how he’s become more mature and focused and how he has made a committment to reach out beyond the usual crime and murder raps that put him on the map. His new album definitely has songs in that vein, but he’s clearly pushed the envelope with great results. During our interview Ghostafce goes into depth about the types of maturity level he wants Hip Hop to reach and how we all have to be aware of the impact we are having on kids. He also talks about the types of steps we need to take in terms of uplifting women and holding up our responsibilities in order to make sure they have an easier road especially when it comes to raising kids.. http://media.odeo.com/files/l/h/z/draft_71066_out.mp3 yall real HipHop heads needa tune in and Stay tuned in to Breakdown fm for all of the lastest HipHop news views and exclusives....http://www.odeo.com/channel/3681/view where politics and artform get their groove on!

MVRemix Interview

Die Interview-Flut geht weiter...

	VRemix: You guys kind of started that whole a.k.a stuff back in the day... Ghostface: Yeah, '94, '95... MVRemix: How did that happen? Ghostface: It started with a shirt; an ill Toney Starks shirt. I put the shirt on and felt like a different man when that shirt came on. Told Rae like, "Yo, this is my Toney Starks shirt. After that it’s been Toney Starks, you know what I mean? Ironman. He came with the Lex Diamonds and then one thing lead to another. MVRemix: And then the whole Clan had different names... Ghostface: Exactly; Rebel INS and Golden Arms... MVRemix: Speaking of INS, real quick, I heard a crazy rumour that I need you to set straight. Someone said he's losing his voice and there's thoughts of retirement or something... Ghostface: Nah, INS is gettin' older. So sometimes when you get older your voice be changin'. I don't think he retirin' or nothin' like that though. He's still workin' and doin' projects. MVRemix: Speaking of projects, your project "Fishscale" is the new album. What makes this album different from the old? Although I guess if it ain't broke. Don't fix it. Ghostface: That's what I tell cats. I just told 'em that not too long ago. I'm just doin' me. There's not really a difference man. Difference is with this new album I've got the whole Clan on this record. And my son is rhymin' on it, you know, Trife Da God and I got Ne-Yo on this project. I been with a lot of underground producers; J-Dilla, MF Doom, Pete Rock. Ain't too much of them high class dudes [out right now]. I just went into what is my feel for right now. The next album might be a little different. MVRemix: Have you got any plans on the next one? Ghostface: Nah, I'ma go through a bunch of material... I heard some other beats that I like, I forgot what producer though. But I know where I'm goin' should I say. There's gonna be a different vibe than this album right here. It'll be somethin' else. MVRemix: Speaking of producers, in a lot of your tracks you're kind of sadly known for having a ton of dope material that can't get cleared, and maybe has to be changed up. Anything that didn't make this officially that could be released down the line? I heard about some Madlib joints... Ghostface: I recorded some Madlib joints towards the end of the project but we didn't submit them or nothin' like that. We was just like, "Alright, we gonna hold fast for a second." So I still got those in the stash. Probably a few joints on this album that we had to play over that didn't make the joint; "Family Affair," the original Just Blaze track - that is murder. MVRemix: The Just Blaze one, "The Champ," is the beat on the CD different to the original one? Ghostface: Yeah, yeah, it's a play over. MVRemix: That's crazy, 'cause the beat now is insane. Ghostface: It's murder, yeah, it's murder. It's like the same thing but it's a play over. [ponders] And what else? "Charlie Brown" track, you know what I mean? MVRemix: That was my favourite one that didn't quite make the cut. Ghostface: Right, right, samples'll get you. They wildin', it's just crazy. The fans don't really know what you've gotta go through tryin' to get things cleared and how much it takes for you to get it played over. And it don't really sound the same to me because I made it. So the people don't know the original, they just hear what they hear. MVRemix: What's your favourite unreleased one? I think for me it had to be the "Good Times" joint. Ghostface: You got "The Watch." MVRemix: The Barry White joint? Ghostface: Yeah, I love how that comes off. "The Sun," that's beautiful. MVRemix: There were like four joints off "Bulletproof Wallets" that had to switch up. Ghostface: Yeah, "Bulletproof Wallets" would've been murder if all that was on there. MVRemix: It was still pretty hot. Ghostface: It was still hot, but still takin' off one... That's what I'm tryin' to tell my manager - takin' one joint off. That means a difference. It's like losin' a pinky [finger]. It's like you need that man, everything... When you tryin' to create somethin' and make it right. Regardless if the fans didn't hear it or not. I'm like that Shakespeare/Beethoven cat that knows it needs to be there like that. I'm that Picasso; I know the painting and what leaf should be on that tree and where it should be at. 'Cause I had the vision. MVRemix: To make it kind of a complete, cohesive project... Ghostface: Yeah - so you can kind of see my mind. So everything is important. MVRemix: You were the first person that I heard just rhyme over an old soul track for the "Holla" joint. You've got another one, "Big Girl," on this album - how did that idea come? Ghostface: Nah, it's just songs like that... We love old music. My whole bus, my whole team, we like to listen to a lot of old music. When I was young and desperate I just came up off. So I like that music better than I like rap and rock and house or whatever you wanna call it... disco. When I hear music like that and I can feel I can get in the groove of it and be like, "Yo, I wish somebody would make that beat for me..." I know how to just go in. Instead of writing about love I could take it on something else... Whatever I feel like. I don't really hear the words when I'm doin' it, it's not really nothin' - I just go ahead and do it. MVRemix: Are there any plans to kind of do more of that stuff in the future? Maybe... Ghostface: [interrupting] Nah, I got records like that. I just never released 'em, I never laid it down like that. But I do got books and rhymes over Jackson 5 and Moments and stuff like that. I never been laid down yet. MVRemix: If you had to pick one old school soul album like that, what would you say is kind of one of your favourites? Ghostface: It's a lot... Blue Magic, probably one of those dudes... The Delphonics is ill - it's too many. Curtis Mayfield is ill. It's too much though. If I were to pick one right real quick, I probably would go with Blue Magic, real quick. MVRemix: How about on the current side of things - do you listen to things outside of Hip Hop these days? Ghostface: Nah, not really. I just listen to... Unless it's old Hip Hop man or old classic soul. And that's it... The game is the game right now. It's really not poppin'. MVRemix: Give me your overall feelings on the state of the industry, both in terms of yourself as an artist within this industry and then as far as what you see on MTV, listening to it... That kind of stuff. Ghostface: It's just boring. Back when we was comin' through the door man, you had to have some type of skill. Some type of talent. Nowadays you don't need talent. It's not about what you say no more or your emcee skills. Back then you had to fight for that. Now we goin' crazy over snap music and sayin' stuff that really, you know... I guess people just wanna have fun. I know things evolve and the game is weighed to that right now... And I don't knock nobody's Hip Hop - it's universal, it's all cool though. But it's just from where I came from and to see what's going on today. It's sad. It's like that old commercial when the Indian looked at his land and he dropped that one tear. Yeah, it was real. That's how sad it is right now. But to each his own and hopefully it'll make its circle back, 'cause what goes around do come back around... Regardless of what. Where's the game at? It was meant for whoever got the game to have it. MVRemix: I think a lot of people, a lot fans, maybe from that late '90's era are kind of pinning their hopes on the Wu bringing it back. I know you're doing your part coming out with consistent albums. Are there any upcoming Wu projects you can speak on? Ghostface: You got Raekwon comin' in with the "Cuban Linx [2]," Meth is come with him, GZa come with him. Wu ain't comin' 'till like next year sometime. And even when we do that, we gotta be careful. 'Cause I didn't like the last two projects. They gotta be really, really, really right and there's gonna be a lot of arguing going down there 'cause there's gonna be so many brothers tryin' to keep it real. If my name is on it, I can't be on it unless it's to how I like to see it, or else I'll pass. MVRemix: That's real man, you've got to keep that quality control. Ghostface: You've got to do that man, or it's like, "Yo, what you gon' do?" I ain't with puttin' out duds. You feel me?
