Ghostface: Purist For Life

| 366 Comments

If it's one thing I hate, it's a HIP-HOP PURIST.

You know the type. The type that claims they make THAT REAL HIP-HOP and their style of hip-hop is so much better than someone elses. The type that feels if you didn't grow up on Eric B. & RakimSuperlover Cee & Casanova Rud or Biz Markie you have no business liking Hip-Hop.

The thing about these Hip-Hop Purist is they forget that THEY TO have skeltons in the closet.

During a concert, Ghostface proceeds to school the children on real Hip-Hop. He does this by playing Laffy Taffy and a few classic New York records and claims that all the South does is make songs about Grillz. The audience howls in agreement. Peons.

Why does Ghostface attack D4L's Laffy Taffy like it's all the South has to offer? Sure Southern rappers have an abundance of records talking about Grillz, but how many songs does New York have about hustling in the streets?

I mean, what's really wrong with Laffy Taffy? It can't be the message because I've heard worse. It can't be the beat because there are some really wack beats. The problem with Laffy Taffy is that it has invaded NYC radio and clubs and it's just ONE MORE SLOT that the South has filled up. And don't front, if Dipset did Laffy Taffy NYC would eat it up - just like they did PUSH IT. SMH.

Before "The Great Holy Ghostface Killah" disses Laffy Taffy, maybe he should explain TUSH, TUSH, TUSH; video and all. And how he had the nerve to let Missy get a verse on it. Explain how "Wanna slide in the bush, bush, bush?" is any better than "Shake that laffy taffy; that laffy taffy". Explain Tooken Back and he put the worst female Southern rapper on the track. Explain that. I'd settle for an in-depth blow-by-blow on how Wu-Tang made Gravel Pit. Horrible. 

I respect the fact that Ghost makes way more substance than he does bullshit, HOWEVER he acts like his track record is beyond approach and he's not.

a rapper known for silly lyrics disses southern rappers with silly lyrics?

True, true, so very true. I'm so tired of these rappers who manage to save a little bit of they residuals, acting like they shit don't stink. Especially when half of they listening audience either live in poverty, broke, or lower middle class. Niggaz outta be humble - I mean itz a billion wanna be rappers out here - and most of these rap cats don't even relize how lucky they are!!! 20% hard work - 80% right place right time. (LUCKY) Just my opinion 1. Waxx

Ya niggas sound fuckin retarted.Ghost is a living legend from a group that sparked alot of these niggas out here.Laffy Taffy? come on man..ANYBODY that likes that shit is either gay or fuckin stupid..any problems?

I'm from SC....in da heart of da south and sad to say Ghost iz rite....besides Justus League and a couple scattered others....da South iz da worse when it comes to real lyrics....cats are stuck in da rut of writing rhymes about rims, asses, and GRILLZ unfortunately....no matter how silly GHOST rhymes are, they don't compare to the simplicity of "I bet you can't do it like me" repeated 75 times in a 4 min. period....and das my word

im confused! just the other day he was giving downsouth music praise for winning right now! if he really want newyork music to comeback he should go and gather up all the ny rappers and tell them to stop all the wwe beef shit thats going on up here! we ain,t never gonna come back if everbody up here keep fighting over the king of newyork crown!

Dogg, no one was trippin back when I was growin up in Dallas when Biggie was huge and the Infamous LP came out. Enter the 36 Chambers was gettin play in Texas also.So did Raekwon's first LP. But at the same time, we was playin our shit too.The south wasn't even thought of back then unless it was Outkast. Now the tables are turned and the south is hot and niggaz cant stomach it. I actually like Ghostface but him and these other east coast cats sound like a bunch of fuck boyz for talkin down on other black folks outside of NY. We all winning to me.

To: Street

Dumbass didn't you just read what Mr, Irrevent said:

The south dose'nt just put our crazy records all regions put out stuff other people consider is lame...

Plus, he might be a legend but he is N.Y.C. legend most of the south dose'nt even know who the hell Ghostface Killa is...

And, that is a FACT just come to the south and ask about Ghostface Killah people would look at you like "who the hell is this nigga talkin about"...

Plus, I can name a list of artists that we consider legends in the south and you probably wouldn't know what the hell im talking about...

This is just like that EAST VS WEST thing back in the day. The east always comes at another region that's doing it big. First you fuck with the west and now yall messing with the south...

So, Mr, Irrevent I totally agree...


And, whats wrong with LAFFY tAFFY i WOULD RATHER MY CHILDERN TO LISTEN TO THAT THAN SOME GUNS,MURDERING AND VIOLENCE..

Hell, Im not finished

Ghostface do your own thing why are you so consentrated on the south. I f you really want NY to come back then just like BKLIFE said tell your ppl to stop beefin and help each other out. Don't get mad cause we telling these record exects to kiss out independent asses.
Stop bitching about the south and the state of hip hip...

But, this is no suprise to me because when I started to see the south on the rise I was like "oh shit NY gonna have something to say as usual"...

Funny how DIP SET was the first name to come to mind when talking about Laffy Taffy.

Irreverent it aint haint on the south, its hate on the stupid shit most artist talk about, and fuck DipSet with their nursury rhymes too.

P.S: wher have you been? Niggaz use ur blog as a AIM chatroom!!! you should change it at least once a week

a bunch of grown men running round singing LAFFY TAFFY come on people..whats it coming too ..

i think ghostface is one confused man, oh and that song he got with ne-yo sucks

WU-TANG IS FOR THE CHILDREN!

Yeah southside poet i gotta agree witchu, if i had little i would rather have my kids listen to laffy taffy than to some crack pushin, even tho i'm not too much of a fan of d4l, but i mean if u appreciate music, u wouldn't have a problem with southern music or east coast shit!!!!

the god was saying how down south artist stick together.true.i dont understand why he had to play laffy taffy and dis that song.we all know that laffy taffy shit is garbage.anyone with two ears can tell that.
and Irreverent come on son that beat for laffy taffy is trash.i havent heard a artist getting play with a simple casio beat like that in decades.well my cousin is 12 and he makes beats like that.
reakwon built for cubin part 2 better be a classic.because we all know the first one was.or as we used to call it the purple tape.
ghost stop smoking that dust.shit got you trippin.one.

I agree with Royal. The south used to have some lyrical rappers in the game(Scarface, Mac- from No Limit, Lil Keke, Devin the Dude and a few others). Now, it seems like the south are just in the game for a hot single to blow on, then the rest of the album is whatever. Not to say that there hasn't been some East Coast artist like that b/c there has been, but everything from "Laffy Taffy" to "Lean wit it, Rock wit it" to Grillz are one hit tracks. With the exception of Chamillionaire, Lil Flip, UGK and TI. The present Southern industry is a MTV balloon ready to pop!

WHAT - THE - FUCK?
LAFFY TAFFY (TEETH SUCKED)

YALL THAT GULIBLE WITH THIS SHIT?

DON'T BELEIVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE IN BLOGS!

YOU SOHH FUCKHEADZ NEED TO START BRINGIN ON AUDIO FROM THESE CONCERTS YOU ATTEND AND "WEED SPOTS" YOU ROLE BY CLAIMIN RAPPERS SAID THIS AND DID THAT FROM EAST TO WEST TO SOUTH.

NOT SAYING IT CAN'T BE TRUE. BUT WHAT YOU HAMMAHEADZ TYPE, DON'T MEAN SHIT WITHOUT AUDIO OR VIDEO - SO KEEP IT THOROUGH!

BY THE WAY WHERE AND WHEN WAS THIS CONCERT YOU KNUCKLEHEADZ?

How is ghost face hatin? He didnt diss the south! Yall get offended too easily. He was talking about the mainstream and yall are in the mainstream right?. Why yall complaining about this? Yall said yall wanted the south to shine. What u think everything is peaches or something? Yall get mad when somebody sees D4L and say something like thats all yall have to offer like its that persons fault thats all they SEE and HEAR. Why would they mention OTHER south acts if THERE IS NO OTHER SOUTH ACTS THATS AS POPULAR IN THE MAINSTREAM WORLD THATS ACTUALLY TALENTED besides maybe 3 or 4 people but THE REST SUCK AND YALL KNOW IT, but your too "offended" to admit it. No one is gonna check for souths underground if they keep seeing "LAFFY TAFFY" NIGGAZ and otha niggaz talkin bout grillz, candy paint all day on "almost" every song. Every damn song sounds the same. Laffy taffy SUCKS, but its from the south and yall are yall are gonna say everything to justify it and get offended if someone "admits it sucks". People hear them snap songs every 10 mins and have to throw the radio out the window. The SOUTH USED TO HAVE GOOD SONGS, BUT NOW WHAT EVERYBODY OUTSIDE THE SOUTH IS THAT YALL SUCK IN THE MAINSTREAM. Nobody listens to yall underground cuz we keeping seeing niggas thats reppin the south that suck so why would we mention the underground and WHY would we mention old niggas like scarface? We talking about right NOW and right now YALL suck in the mainstream besides 3 or 4 rappers. maybe a little more. Yall stick together BUT its ridiculous when yall gotta defend laffy taffy when yall KNOW its wack and get mad when somebody whos not from there says its wack.GO TO KINGOFRAP.COM its a rapper from CHICAGO who made a D4L laffy taffy diss.

Ghost is far from wacky. He camo's his lyrics and drops jewels when needed. If u ain't on it...u ain't on it. And i'm from Texas. U gotta be versatile bitches

I don't know about dissing the whole south, I like Justus League, TI, Bun B and a couple others... But calling out D4L makes sense; Ghost's rhymes aren't silly for the most part, they're just in 5 percent code plus his own slang so you have to think about it a bit (listen to his albums not his singles)... ppl think of Laffy Taffy and Dipset in the same sentence bcuz Cam can't spit:

"I say a single word,
then I repeat the word,
a pigeon is a bird,
there I done rhymed two words"

damn i can join dipset now...

....MOREOVER,

WHY AREN'T THESE SOHH FUCKHEADZ COVERING THE WU TANG SHOWS!?! EVERY SHOW IS GETTING "HISTORIC" FUCKIN REVIEWS FROM 'REAL' NEWS ARTICLES AND YALL TALKIN ABOUT ALLEGED SHIT?
FUCK OUTTA HERE.

YALL HATIN ON WU???

why when yall give examples of southern hip-hop you give the worst ( d4l, crime mobb, dem franchise boyz)? Those groups DO NOT claim to be lyricist! They make music for THE CLUBS, people...hip-hop is a composite of many things-party music, hustling, political, dope dealing...the hood do it all. So WHY cant we make music about it ALL? When I got to the club I much rather listen to laffy taffy than Papoose...club music is for the clubs...

FURTHERMORE,

IM FROM SOFLO - MAGIC CITY IS DEFINTLEY SPLIT ON THE PREFERENCE IN MUSIC ESPECIALLY HIP HOP - BUT ONE THING I CAN TELL YOU WE ALL AGREE ON - LAFFY TAFFY IS WACK - ALTHOUGH PITBULL MAY NOT AGREE.

Ghost is Right, some songs dont deserve airplay and Laffy Taffy is one of them. There is no justifying that song. The South has it locked right now though and I'm from NY. But the South should do more to put a mussle on the ones who mis-represent them like the Ying Yang(Shuck and Jive)Twins and D4L.

WOW, SO MANY HATERS IN NY AND UP NORTH, KNOW WONDER YALL CANT GET ON, YALL STUCK ON THA SAME OLE' SHIT. ITS NOT ALL ABOUT BEING SAD AND I GOT IT BAD, THERE'S GOT TO BE SOME GOOD TIMES,


1) THE SOUTH IS CREATIVE

2) THE SOUTH HAS PERSONALITY

3) THE SOUTH DOESN'T HATE(SUM TIMES)

4) THE SOUTH IS DOWN CAUSE WE ARE

5) THE SOUTH SHOW LOVE

6) THE SOUTH RESPECT EACH OTHER

Top 5 things New Yorkers are sick of hearing when listening to Southern Hip Hop: (we're trying to like you niggas...we really are, but c'mon)

5. Purple Stuff,Drank,Lean and all that nonsense (y'all better be careful cuz Shawn Penn's brother died off drinkin that lean....look it up)hahahaha

4. GRILLZ (okay...u got jewelery in your mouth,cool. We don't need to be reminded on EVERY song.

3. CRUNK (white people are abusin the word now...with any slang that means its time to hang it up)

2. SCREWED N CHOPPED (DJ Screw made a movement with it...it was different...it was dope...now every low budget DJ and queer with CD turntables tries to make it 'screw' style to make up for thew fact they aint got DJ skills. Tired. Who needs 2 different versions of every mediocre southern album anyways?

1. Grippin grain,woodgrain...If I hear one more Southern rapper even begin to say woodgrain on a record that shit is gettin turned off. (Isnt woodgrain on the side of stationwagons? hahahaha)

You aint gotta agree with me....but thats what the deal is.

Chris Penn R.I.P. (he gon' off that lean...hahahaha)

I just took the South's penis in my mouth.--NY

THE NORTH DON'T HATE THE SOUTH!
THE EAST DON'T HATE THE WEST!

Y'all need to stop! Ghost wasn't hating the south, sohh.com just had a blog about how Ghost was praising the south. People from other regions assume NYers be hating them and it ain't true! If your shit is wack or we just don't get your twist, then yeah, we gonna call dat shit garbage. But when Dr. Dre dropped "G Thang" NY niggas was bumpin it. Me personally, I think Young Jeezy just dropped a classic. It ain't the most lyrical album, but it's classic. I'm sorry dude, but Laffy Taffy is a nursery rhyme. It ain't high quality work. OH, and don't think anyone in NY was goin crazy when Dipset did "Push It". Dat shit was wack, wacker than Laffy Taffy and everyone knows dat shit. You cats see north, south, east, & west, but there are really only 2 categories of music: quality & crap.

Ghost is the only N.Y. M.C. who keeps that '88 style relevent. His slang can be decifered if you pay attention. Tush was the RECORD company required club song. Ghost makes concept albums. His last album he DECONSTRUCTED the "popular' sped-up soul sample lane and spit over ENTIRE tracks. Alot of people didn't get it. He DOES have the authority to police this bullshit we consider Hip-Hop music just anyone does who was there from the beginning. The torch must be passed properly. Yes, there is room for evolution in the music aspect of Hip-Hop but we don't have to except everthing that comes out because if it's bullshit we should be able to say it's bullshit. We must police ourselves and show these young bucks what constitutes Hip-Hop music. We do need more scratched choruses because D.J.ing is becoming a lost art. We do need more introspective, complex and dope rhyme styles. The sad part is, when we get that, we automatically classify it as "conscious' or "backpack" lyricism. Was Rakim's "Lyrics of Fury" backpack style? Was KRS-One's "Poetry" backpack? I'm looking back as a point of reference. There is no comparision in the complexity of rhymes from then until now. We as a culture have dumbed down our lyrics and the culture is worse for it. It's not about where you from because Scarface, Ice Cube, Magic Mike, Saafir, Paris, Juvenile, G.U.R.U., The Coup, M.C. Ren, Ed O.G., Black Thought, Tupac, Rass Kass, O.C. Pharoah Monch,T.I., Luda,and OutKast will spit it. Ghost is allowed to call it as he sees it.
To quote Q-tip: "Rap is not pop, if you call it that then stop!"

damn skdamc you just broke it down.
i do kind of miss a rap album where the dj has his one song.like rakims old shit and so on.those were the good old days.rappers actually rapped.djs cut it up.we were doing the wop the iou.shit just changed.i still love this culture.

quote from SK "We do need more scratched choruses because D.J.ing is becoming a lost art. We do need more introspective, complex and dope rhyme styles."

You right man...we need to get back to the era where skills were the criteria to be considered dope....video killed the radio star...to be pushed by the machine in the game now u need to have sex appeal and a backstory...every CEO of a label is Vince Mcmahoning they way into the game and pushing perception over actual content. Look at the collection of MC's that were considered tight in the 90's....lotta dudes aint tryna hear em cuz they aint got that packaged,promotional,bullshit dvd that proves they so gangsta n all that. All the grimey ugly niggas thats dope aint never gon pop off cuz the new formula is set up to give us Nelly and Eminem clones over and over again until the money rebels against it and starts spendin on other shit. The cycle of the business will come back to the gritty sound soon and somebody will be back to Wu Tang the game, then all these button up wearin, ceaser havin pretty niggas will be growin they 5 oclock shadow n stompin in tims.

Labels have wet dreams about findin an MC with DMX sound from a dude that look like Usher, or even better for the money Timberlake.

Ghost says something about D4L, and somehow he's dissin the whole South?

I don't think so.

Where in that clip does Ghost say 'The Whole South Sucks'?

Anywayz, he's right on point.

The shit he said about 'havin grillz back in '88' is funny as hell.

Too true.

We do NEED skills back. What people from the south seem to think is that people from NY hate this and that, but if yall "lived" here yall would know we listen to anything we LIKE. If we DONT like it, we're gonna say it if u get offended by it...thats your problem. Ghost was obviously NOT dissing the WHOLE south just Laffy Taffy and wack mainstream niggas from the south. Yall just get too sensitive over every little thing some one from NY say. When yall say dipset is wack, do u see people from NY saying "Oh yall hating on NY?" NOO u dont see that cuz we dont take that as a diss to NY, just to dipset they dont rep the whole NY and D4L dont rep the whole south. Yall think everything we say is a diss. If I say Paul wall sucks, yall will say Im hating on the south when I was JUST talking about PAUL WALL. Too damn sensitive. Yall think we dont like it cuz its a "party song" what the fuck is that supposed to mean...u trying to say because its a party song its supposed to be dumb and sound wack as hell? People that make party joints can be talented instead of wack...and these niggas is WACK.

What are you sayin, back inthe day if you go back and listen you would find out most of all them old skool hits was nursery rhymes

Nobody said they wasnt, but this aint "back in the day" this is 2006 get with it niggas need to step they game up.

Step the game up, we been step the game up, but aint know body gone make a deep video unless its about their mother,

honestly i love the north, but just because the south like to wild out we get diss because our musik got popular meening some one outside the south likes it

See u still dont get what Im sayin. Who said anything about a deep video? Im talkin about TALENT. Ya dig? Wild out? I didnt know they "wilded out" down south. No one said "nobody outside the south likes it". I just dont like D4L or anything close to them and dont understand why just because a lot of people dont like D4L southern people blow it up like people are dissing the WHOLE south when they just dissing D4L. Not once on that video did ghost face diss the south, he dissed D4L and said they had grills in 88. Thats ALL and it gets a blog but didnt ghost face get a blog bigging up the south now yall wanna get sensitive and say he dissing the south? Smh.

-ONLY THING I'M SAYIN IS THAT OF COURSE NY GOT THE OLE' SKOOL TRUE ENOUGH BUT THE SOUTH WAS THERE TOO, NY DIDN'T LIKE US THEN AND THEY DONT LIKE US NOW, ALL BECAUSE WE DONT SOUND LIKE YALL, THE MUSIK IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT BECAUSE WE SLOW AND WE GOT TIME TO GET SHIT RIGHT ALL BECAUSE WE DONT MOVE TO FAST. THE MUSIK CAME FROM THE SOUTH AND IT COMING BACK TO SOUTH; CAUSE THE SOUTH GOT SUM THIN SAY.

ooohhhh, Shid nobody like D4L, its just one of those songs you get stuck in your head.......My Bad tho

FliestGuyNTown you are missing what kid rockz said.we are not dissing the south just your corny ass wack niggas that kick trashy rhymes.i hate dipset mase 50 and so on.the thing is nyc niggas will tell you a nigga is wack.it doesnt matter if he is from brooklyn or up the block.
i repect what yall say about the people in the south dont listen to lyrics and yall like to hear club music when your in the strip club trickin all your money.respect nyc for saying that we respect lyrics.always have always will.

1st of all, I'm sick of southern cats acting like they know what's poppin up north.

2nd of all, I'm sick of northern cats actin like we know what's poppin down south.

Can I just say this REAL CLEAR:
NORTH DON'T HATE THE SOUTH!
EAST DON'T HATE THE WEST!

Wasn't there just a sohh.com blog about Ghost giving the south props. Does that mean he has to like EVERY song from the south? Maybe Ghost don't like songs about grillz and candypaint, maybe he's more into Scarface or UGK or sumthin, damn, get off a nigga dick! People always assume NYers hate everything not from NY & dat shit ain't true. When Dr. Dre dropped "G Thang" dats all you heard in the streets, and this summer, mad cars in BK was bumpin dat Young Jeezy. If your shit is hot, we gonna roll with it regardless of where you from.

Being a NY nigga, I've notice anytime you go to other parts of the country and mention you're from NY, niggas start twistin they face up and hating you off da strength...why? We don't do dat to niggas when they cum up here. And it's the same with the music.

Laffy Taffy is a glorified ghetto nursery rhyme. Not cause it's from the south, but because it is.

OH, and do you really think NY cats were goin crazy when Dipset redid "Push IT"? Dat shit was wack, it was wacker than Laffy Taffy by far, but what does that really prove? Garbage can come from any region in the country? If you didn't know that already you're an idiot.

You dudes still just see north, south, east & west. Music only cums in 2 categories: quality & crap

BTW, Mr. Irreverant, I believe you meant to say "beyond REPROACH" at the end of the blog, not "APPROACH". Check the dictionary. Don't mean to sound like your English teacher, just don't want you sayin dat in the wrong setting looking foolish.

all yall niggas got points,, who is ghost to sit there and say whats real hip hop?? but it dont matter where u from if ur music stinks it just stinks!! north south east west all got wack niggas!! hey the south got laffy taffy and the east got candy shop,, disco inferno,,outta control,, get the fuk outta here all that shit is the same!!

Ghost was in the Wu, first of all. So to expect him to sit there and be all luvy-duvy on that bullshit coming out now is not realistic. Laffy Taffy IS bullshit. I garauntee the guy/chick who signed these niggas HATES rap and probably don't like niggas either, but let you stupid, simpleminded, gullible dumbasses tell it; and these fuckin clowns are the hottest thing out. Come on, people. Laffy Taffy?!!! It's not hate for the south. It's a hate of ignorance. I could see if the nigga dissed Outkast or even Luda, but these niggas? I give Ghost a pass on that one. Peace.

Even if their is a song about hustling for every song about grillz, which topic is more interesting? A retainer with some diamonds on it or the struggle to sell drugs and make it out of the projects?

Regardless, Tush is an infinitely better song than Laffy Taffy. Furthermore, Tush is one of the worst songs on the critically acclaimed "Pretty Toney Album" while Laffy Taffy is supposedly D4L's best.

How is ghost face hatin? He didnt diss the south! Yall get offended too easily. He was talking about the mainstream and yall are in the mainstream right?. Why yall complaining about this?

Nobody listens to yall underground cuz we keeping seeing niggas thats reppin the south that suck so why would we mention the underground and WHY would we mention old niggas like scarface? We talking about right NOW and right now YALL suck in the mainstream besides 3 or 4 rappers. maybe a little more. Yall stick together BUT its ridiculous when yall gotta defend laffy taffy when yall KNOW its wack and get mad when somebody whos not from there says its wack.GO TO KINGOFRAP.COM its a rapper from CHICAGO who made a D4L laffy taffy diss.

First of all, "Big Ghost Your Host" is a complex individual so you can not take things out of context. He aint dissin' the south he is just expressing discontent with this certain group that comes from the south. I live in NC and I get so fed up when I hear that shit on the radio, but it is the radio so what do you expect huh? especially radio down here. to me radio fucking sucks ass anyway from way back.. i mean i dont listen to the radio unless it is on some classic soul throwback or a few r&b joints that i like, but for hip-hop i pull out the cd's playa. i can feel his pain though because him as an artist needs to use that vehicle and he is getting blocked by acts like d4l. i mean what can you do? people like the shit. just keep creating your own lane and do you is all i can say.

NC stand up Raleigh-Durham stand up
go cop that Little Brother-Justus League

One!

Ghost speaks what should be said all the time...........I am a old nigga if anybody remembers The Rapping Duke wit the song "Da ha ha ha" that was one of the worst songs ever but, it did not get shine....cause it was a joke song but Laffy Taffy is getting crazy shine like it's a hot song wit hot lyrics and a beat when it is the most simple shit eva!........my point is this Hiphop had it's place and was takin very seriously because faggot outsiders were trying to discredit it and say it was not a artform and it is songs like Laffy Taffy prove them right that fuckin anybody wit no talent no content to there song can Blow up I mean for real we used to fuck around wit beats like that on the Roland Drum Machine when we were Teenagers..........Make money off the game but respect also it's almost like beat your wifeys pussy up but, respect her as your queen and a woman..........Class over!!!!! Ghost keep doing your thing nigga The Wu berthed more than half these niggas
