SOHH NYC
New York is back, forget what you heard
Ghostface Says Fuck New York, New Method Man ft. Lauryn Hill
Posted on May 8, 2006 12:00 PM
In a recent interview with PrefixMag, after being asked whether or not he felt New York artists were jealous over "losing the hip hop crown" as the interviewer put it, Ghostface had the following harsh words for his hometown:
New York lost the crown because the New York deejays gave the crown away for some fucking money. New York be bullshitting. Right know, I say fuck New York. Yeah, I'm from New York, but fuck New York. Because niggas is pussy. They is so quick to jump on the next man's dick and can't even deal with what they got in front of they face.
He goes on to criticize those same New York DJ's for not playing local music and suggests that the city is soft because we didn't riot after the murder of African immigrant Amadou Diallo in 1999. On the one hand I agree with Ghost about the dickriding and lack of support for our music from radio, but on the other hand I think he's wildin with some of his statements.
I first started disliking 50 Cent after he said basically the same thing a couple of years back. Look, I understand the frustration of artists, but you can't go talking slick about a whole city, your city, just because some DJ or program director is taking money under the table to spin Dem Franchize Boyz.
What about all of those New Yorkers showing up at your shows Ghost? What about all of those mixtapes we bought before you signed your deal 50? Hey, we have our issues the same way Houston and L.A. have issues, but comments like those damn sure aren't gonna help.
Bonus: New track from Ghost's Wu-Tang brethren Method Man ft. Lauryn Hill - Things They Say
I agree with most of what Ghost is saying but if I was from New York I would be hot. U can say fuck a city if u want to but u can't say it about your city. If Game or Alkaholiks for that matter said fuck L.A. I would not fuck with them anymore. Point blank period. I not letting any nigga say fuck my city. Especially a nigga from my city. Before u had global fans u had to rely on home. Home is how u became famous. U never bite the hand that feeds you.
He really meant FUCK FunkMaster Flex...but he can't say that cause he'd get even less spins than he's getting now...
YEA BITCHS I'M BACK! I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING GHOST SAID. N.Y. IS JEALOUS AND FULL OF PUSSY ASS NIGGAS. I NEVER LIKED GHOST BUT IM A HAVE TO BUY HIS ALBUM JUST ON G.P. FOR WHAT HE SAID.
SOME UNITY YALL HAVE.
AWWWWWWW N.Y. MAD CAUSE WE ON THEY RADIO.
LOL PUSSYS.
R.I.P. NY
Y'all missing the point, he sayin fuck da niggas dat pimp out the NewYork scene for money. They the ones pumping garbage down our throats for some extra loot.
Honestly, any New Yorker here over 17 request D4L or Dem Franchise Bitches on a daily basis for like 3 months?
He's frustrated over people not favoring to rep another over their own like some real corporate hoes. He aint mad at the fans, dont get it twisted
I agree that you never bite the hand that feeds you but you have to understand what a NY artist goes through right now..if their music does not sound a certain way..then they get no airplay or sales...look at ghost's album right now..it is struggling to move 300K copies...we can sit here and say that sales does not make an MC but as we see time and time again..if this is their main source of income..they are mad as hell when a dude who can't rap for shit has a bentley and all they got is a benz..
people can hate 50 all they want but the smartest thing this man has done is to diverify his product base so that he makes money outside of rap..ghost has not been able to do this..method makes movie money from time to time but ghost is all rap..and by no means can you say that ghost does not have skills on the mike but right now if ur record does not have some type of club appeal..u are not getting much raiod airplay..
sorry to say but it's the truth..
I meant rep another hood's wack ass music over reppin they own, my bad
I agree with Ghost. The reason garbage pollutes the airwaves is because of the DJs. Back in the days the local NY DJs made sure that NY hip hop got airplay. To be from another region and get airplay was hard. Now it's the opposite. The NY DJs today only care about what's popular. Back then it was more balance on the radio. Sure, some might say it is business, but it was business back then too. True fans do not need the radio anyway. To quote the hook to one of Cube's joints "Turn Off That Bullshit...Turn on that muthaf**kin radio".
EVERYBODY HOLD UP. GHOST HAS EARNED THE RIGHT TO SAY FUCK NY. HE HAS BEEN REPPING AND HOLDIN NY DOWN HIS WHOLE CAREER.HE'S FROM THERE AND HAS BEEN THRU E/THING NY HAS TO OFFER.ITS LIKE TALKING ABOUT YOUR BROTHER. I CAN SAY FUCK MY BROTHER B/C THATS MY BROTHER. NOBODY ELSE HAD BETTER SAY IT.
BY THE WAY, FISHSCALE IS ONE OF HOTTEST ALBUMS OUT. SO FAR.
Damn! Ghost is mad. That album must not be selling very well. Ashame, Ghost is one of my favorite all time emcees.
Niggas need to take different approaches with selling their shit. Come with a dope show too. I was disappointed when he came to San Diego. The crowd was wack though.
As for saying fuck your city... Not a smart move. It may get the city moving in the right direction as far as getting back to supporting their own shit, but it's not gonna help him out.
The problem is that even New York has to grow.Just expand a little. I do admit as a New Yorker I miss what we call real rap, but we need to do something different. Thats what I hope my album does. Check out the joint with me and Luda. www.myspace.com/jaybillion2
www.myspace.com/sevenoneelz(Get Use 2 It)
Yo, I from the South, I'm a Ghostface fan, and I, too, say FUCK NY. Too many pussies running around claiming their burrough, but ain't doing shit for hip-hop. It's time for you NY niggaz to prove what your worth because just being from NY ain't enough anymore, niggaz. Fuck NY--NY should have Ghost's back, that new album is tight as shit and it reps NY to the fullest. Y'all niggaz is too pussy to rep for Ghost so a Southern nigga like myself has to do it. I got Ghost's back on this one, NY niggaz are pussies and won't even support their fellow NY artists. Again, Fuck y'all for that one, Ghost has a point and y'all are too ignorant to see it...The fuck outta here, bitch...
it's gonna be a while before ny gets the crown back 'cause chi-town is about to take over. look out for lupe fiasco, consequence and glc. not to even mention the new lp from kanye and twista. so yea, fuck ny for right now.

Man, i agree that radio is commercial, but it's not just New York, you can't find stations playing local artists almost anywhere. And if they play local artists they not putting them in rotation if they hot. . . so I feel him on that.
Fuck Ghostface, hes mad cause his sales are garbage, low sales = finger pointing. And his cd's wack anyways.
Man this is a trip. Look 10 years ago it was Pac fault the started this east-west feud. Now look East vs South. Man come on these dudes in the south been starving for years. And see what Ghost said right about the radio. Duke I hope you read this some old articles have Pac stating that in New York they laugh at your music and it doesn't get played. Ghost are you calling for a boycott. Man check this Houston makes up a large part of the hip hop scene and LA makes up the rest of the 3 headed monster. No if you want to play big bank take little bank then NYC loses. See Suge partners with J-Prince. Man look I travel alot and people got big love for NY and much respect. But yo you can't be on that MIDDLE EAST mindset like yo Zion got to go. That is crazy yes me support you but we want to see our story told to. For me you are a hip hop royalty. Man in Africa when the King can't hold his ground he humbly goes off or gets ripped up. You feeling me yo. This here is some street/tribal thing. Don't get mad at NY, get mad at yourself. The true story is that WU never capitalized off that buxx/movement you had. You see 50 out and organizing making cash...NOW you like you get that record I had on the burner son. Let's update these themes right here and they loving us B. Not quite so fast...this generation fo finicky listners remember WU but are die-hard G-Unit fans or whoever it is this time. This isn't the 70's dude when artist put out quality material so a strong fan base was kept and they demanded records. Now it the busniess as much as the consumer. DEMAND_SUPPLY. You have to jump up like a fool to get some shine. Old man take it like a man. Until you invest in a old school rap station hang it up...
GHOST IS VERY CORRECT WHEN HE SAYS THAT. YOU CAN TAKE IT HOW YOU WANT, AND SAY THIS OR THAT BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY AS AN ARTIST YOU SHOULD NOT FEEL GREAT ABOUT YOUR SHIT IF IT HAS TO BE PAID TO BE PLAYED..ANY DJ THAT TAKES MONEY FOR SPINS SHOULD BE FIRED, YOU HAVE MIXTAPES, CLUBS, AND SHOWS TO EAT OFF OF BUT YOU STILL FORCING NON-SENSE DOWN OUR EARS...WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BUILDING A FAN BASE..FANS HAVE GOTTEN DUMBER TOO! CUZ A NIGGA GOTTA GUN DOESNT MEAN HE CAN FIGHT, CUZ YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HIM IT DONT MEAN THAT HE NICE!!
Ghostface is just a grumpy old man. I could see him now:
Music just isn't what it used to be.
I agree with Ghost When says what he says about the DJ's but not his city. He has a point. Bullshit is ruling the airwaves. Im from Misssissippi, and I cant stand niggas like D4L & Lil Scrappy. But I Think NY has to change as well. Look at the Dipset. They have reached out to emcees from other reigions like The Game, Mike Jones, Young Jeezy, T.I., Luda, Paul Wall, Kanye and so forth. NY emcees hate each other. Ghostface also said that in last month's issue of XXL. D-Block vs G-unit, G-unit vs Nas, Dipset vs Nas, Dipset vs Jay-Z, Dipset vs Mase, G-unit vs Murder Inc, DMX vs Ja Rule, Fat Joe vs Cuban Link, G-unit vs Fat Joe, Fabolous vs Mase, Mase vs Loon, and my favorite Dame Dash vs Jay-Z. Now the south has seen its share of battles in recent years like T.I. vs Lil Flip, T.I. vs Luda, & B.G. vs Lil Wayne, but in majority the south has love for each other. I love NY Hip Hop. I love emcees like DMX, Jay-Z, Talib Kweli, The Lox, Biggie, Fabolous, Mos Def, Dead Prez, Papoose, & Busta. But NY has to realize Hip Hop doesnt live and die with NY. Hip Hop is a culture, not just a city or reigion. There is enough for everyone to get a piece. So I ask NY emcees to please come together, NY hasn't lost anything execpt the love for one another. Im a fan of hip hop, but all this negativity needs to stop, and the sooner niggas like 50 realize that the better off hip hop will be.
How easily one takes words and remixes them 4 their own spin...
He is NOT dissing New York CLEARLY
he's blasting off on funk flex and other cat deejays in this area...
I guess u took his comments out of context because Senationalism Sells...
Fuck ghostface and everyone who think new york went soft and got wack. we never going to be soft and we never going to be wack 5hit remember were hip hop 5tarted at bitches N.Y.C and all yall ova ni99as thats not from N.Y.C need to jump off N.Y.C dick cause yall bite our style everything we do yall want to try to do. yall try to dress like us but its not happening we dress the best and yall bitches yall sawgger jackers yall try to talk like us but it aint happening so fuck ghostface and any nigga hating on N.Y.C ya digg anyone got a problem holla at me at harlemrob212@yahoo.com
Anybody in the tri-state area knows who he is clearly talking about...Its Flex...that nigga is the problem...The only east coast shit he plays is wack ass dipset and Gunit...he dont care how trash the song is, he'll drop 100 bombs on it and play the shit over and over again....That nigga is out of control...
Ghost should hook up with d4l
and make a remix of laffy taffy.
His pockets should get phat quick.
He is right. He can say it. Man half the mess out right now is so whack!!I mean it's a joke,and it's sad that people are sacrificing the integrity of Hip Hop for money. The bullshit rap needs it's own genre. It's not Hip Hop, because it lacks soul, and consciousness. For those of us with a brain it takes more than a beat to move me.
FISHSCALE SUCKS ASS
BLOODMONEY IS STRAIGHT FIYYA
COP THAT SHIT
I only buy G-unit albums cause i know i'll get my monies worth
Hey SHAKEEM, thanks for telling me about the album man, the cd is nice... I was expecting pure garbage from all the reviews i read but the cd is on point. GOOD LOOKIN OUT MAN!
Ghost needs to calm down. If he doesn't have proof of NY DJs taking payola, then he needs to keep his mouth closed. His album has not met expectations because he is on Def Jam. When are these rappers going to learn? Major labels need major sales. Period.
If he ain't ready to change his style to conform to radio, then just make good music and leave it alone. I'll still support. There are other listeners who do not let the radio dictate their music choices.
Someone else on here said he needs to diversify his hustle. I agree with that. Someone also brought investing in a classic hip hop station. I DEFINITELY agree with that!
Don't blame the public at large for your own shortcomings. This goes out to all rappers especially those in NYC. Support each other. Get your business together. Def Jam and the other major labels aren't going to do anything for you unless you ready to put on your shiny suit and join the MINSTREL SHOW.
Otherwise, let your music and its message speak for itself. I was not disappointed with Fishscale.
ghost dont be mad at ny be mad at the bootlegers bootleging your shit
I'M DISSAPPOINTED IN NY TOO. CUZ WHEN A NIGGA DO MAKE HE GETS HATED ON. NY SHOWS NO LUV, AND NO UNITY TO OUR ARTISTS. 50 IS THE BIGGEST RAPPER RIGHT NOW AND NIGGAS HATING ON HIM INSTEAD OF CONGRATUALTING HIM ON HIS SUCCESS AND KEEPING NY ON THE MAP. AND 50 NEVER, EVER SAID FUCK NY. SO GET YA FACTS RIGHT BLOGMASTER. HE SAID FUCK THE HOOD. HE SAID HE LUVED NY. BUT THE HOOD AIN'T NEVER DONE SHIT FOR NOBODY, WHY HE FINNA REP THE SAME HOOD THAT GOT HIM SHOT UP. I SAY FUCK THE HOOD TO. LOOK WHAT IT GOT PROOF A COUPLE WEEKS BACK. YA'LL NIGGAS KNOW YOU WANNA SAY IT TOO, ALL THE FAKE NIGGAS RUNNIN AROUND LIKE THE LUV THE HOOD. IF YOU DO YOU A DUMB MO'FUCKER. AIN'T NOTHING WRONG WITH REPPIN AND FEELIN WHERE YOU FROM, BUT THE HOOD IN GENERAL, THE ONES EVERYWHERE. FUCK EM.
THE SOUTH GON ALWAYS BE ON TOP CUZ THE GOT UNITY. DIVIDED NY WE ALWAYS GET CONQUERED.
I agree with Black (second comment). He is clearly addressing the DJs not the fans. As for the person that said no regional artists are getting played in they hometown, that is not true. I just read today that Lil Romeo's lil song is only getting played in NOLA. Yall know Master P make some whack ass music, but he became a multi-millionaire just from sales in his own region. Unfortunately NYC is a major market and payola rules that joint. So if the record execs say Southern is the "it" thing right now and will only pay for their spins then NYC MCs get no love at home, which is crazy. I know many many fans that want their special flavor of music back on the radio in NY. As an implanted southerner I am beginning to like the music down here a little, but I still want my NE flava most of all. And not the commercial 50 ish either.
no problem big cav, by the way whats your favorite track on there. mine is track number 8 featuring yayo that joint is fiyya
Ghostface got a right to say what he said. But you should never diss your hometown.
But if you read the WHOLE interview, you can tell he's clearly talking about the DJs up top. Don't know exactly who he's talking about cause I ain't from New York. But the DJs are to blame all over the country.
HEY SHAKEEM YOU AND BIG CAV GO FUCK EACH OTHER.THIS BLOG AINT ABOUT G-UNOT.
A SOUTHERNER SHITTING ON NY IS LIKE A MUSLIM YELLING FUCK MECCA.....YOU FIGURE IT OUT
Bill stop hating on the unit
we're the only ones moving units in new york
SHAKEEM, I GUY MADE A MILLION DOLLARS BY SELLING A PET ROCK.TRASH IS TRASH.
All you George and Weezies muthafuckas with this moving on up shit sounds like pussies. B, them niggas gloryfied the hood with all these hood tales to make cream. Now them niggas is like fuck the hood. This nigga 50 would not got on in the way that he did if a nigga didn't do him a favor and clapped that ass up for him. Oh and the snitch did say fuck NY. He said NYC was jealous of him. Now the other homo in his camp Lloyd Gay Banks is talkin greasy about NY. Fuck 50. He is wak anyway. Blood money is wak. His whole crew is wak B. I use 2 think that nigga Buck was nice but now that nigga got me wondering a little because what he spitted on Blood money was pure ass. Fuck them niggas all day every day the Brooklyn way
Ghostface just mad cuz he aint sellin. this nigga need to re-invent himself. hip hop is always changing. every 5 years its a new sound so if u wanna stay on top and be sucessful u have to get whats up to date and thats with everything in life. you can still be true to urself and to what u do and change ur style a little bit. u cant expect to do good rapping the same way for 20 yrs it just aint gonna work.
we got the game on lock so shut the fuck up and take it like a man and stop bitching
G-Unit is a hot group. You hardly hear anything wack from their camp.
Ghostface need to stop acting like a bitch and blaming everyone for his problems.
Shakeem
Them niggas dying slow B and I am loving it. Mobb Deep talkin bout blame 50 he made us filthy rotten rich. Yeah right Nigga, after the weed plate they call Blood Money finish flopping them niggas will be back in queens bridge. Them nigga going to stay there just as long as I am going to stay in East New York and I ain't ever leaving B.
Personally I think NY problem is everyone sounds the same. I really think people want something different and new. Damn near every New NY rapper has the same blueprint. They all sound like some different version of Lloyd Banks, Fabolous,50 cent Jay-z or Cassidy. They all are selling drugs own a million guns and are supergangsta it's freekin annoying. Everytime I buy a mix tape it's full of a bunch of nobody's that know the DJ that spit the toughest 16 they can think of and after the 1st 2 bars I skip to the next track. Damn I miss the mid to late 90's when everyone was doing their own shit. Now its follow the leader Jay-z is doing the grown and sexy thing let me do the same or the streets is hot let me do like 50 and get on everything so I'll blow. Problem is none of these clowns know how to make a song. Being able to write 16 bars and talk tough ain't gonna get you sales. As far as Ghost is concerned I like Ghost but his music is so abstact that he lost alot of his own fan base a while ago. I know a lot of people that used to like Ghost that now are like I don't know what the f he's talkin bout and won't buy his records. Plus he coulda used a better 1st single than the jt with Neyo. He shoulda went the route Busta used and dropped a club/street banger then he woulda got more spins. If you album is reminiscent of old Wu why would you lead of with a breakhearted track about women. Your first track shoulda had swords swinging.
Sorry son but somebody had to say it.
As Far as NY lookin at the current state of Rap - Jada will be next AIR TO THE THRONE and if not your gonna be out of the loop for awhile cause no ones doing the own think
Chevy G.,
He's talking about Flex...
Flex is one of those deejay's who will be on the radio (his next time on) responding to this blog!
he (flex) is real petty 2 me and he keeps up a lot of drama betwen new york rappers.
On the other hand,
he does give u the impression that he's being pocketed by dipset and the unit because he overplays their music.
The thing is this is not new 4 this industry...
I'm not understanding why some cats seem surprised.
Ghost was just Man enough 2 bring Truth 2 light...
Georgia Bottom Boy??? damn that's a gay ass name dude. You must be the nigga that was in that movie banks. That explains why you always up here riding Gunit dick
Ok if its not about money and spins on the radio, how come its always an artist that dosent have much of either say things like this. I never hear a multiplat artist saying these things. If your good then it will show no matter who gets the spins. This only happens in this genre of music. DJays have always gotten extra money ounder the table for playing records. Shit been like that since the 60's.
I wanna say I am from Jersey and no offense to the south but all that shit sounds the same.... I cant tell the difference from one artist to the next! And its so bad that every damn second you turn on the radio you hear , snap this, pop that, twist this... I be like WTF man.. I dont even listen to the radio anymore! I miss Hip Hop ... what they playin on the radio now is PURE BULL SHIT!
AAAAHHH
QG that shit was funny.
GHOST CD FISHSCALE IS CRAZY AND TO HAVE D4L ROCKIN HARD ONTHE RADIO IS PROOF THAT HIP HOP HAS DIED I'M SAYING GET YOUR MONEY BUT ARAGAGAGHGGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGH I HAVE NOT HEARD A EAST COAST JOINT ON THE RADIO IN A WHILE.
I MEAN THERES NO WU NO BOOT CAMP NO REDMAN- NO M.O.P NO NOTHING I'M LEANING AND ROCKING OUT MY FUKING MIND
I MEAN SHIIIIIIIIIIITTTTT RADIO KILLED NY AND NJ HIP HOP!! REDMAN WHERE ARE YOU?!!!!!!!!!!!
"Ok if its not about money and spins on the radio, how come its always an artist that dosent have much of either say things like this. I never hear a multiplat artist saying these things"
.......................................Bullshit! Jayz has said the same thing a few times...He also said he don't give a fuck though...But Jigga is established and rich enough to say that...Some of these niggas only means of eating is thru their music...Flex is ridiculous with that shit
Would he be spazzing out if his album was currently platinum?
DJ's have to feed their families too. What do you expect from a grimey industry?
The Tri-State area (NY, Jers and CT) know what's up with that Bitch ass nigga flex.
am in ny and that song he has with no0yo is always getting airplay.this nigga is mad because ny niggas need to realize that hiphop is not like b4.ny hiphop aint go no where.the radio stations only play commercial and hit records.only late nights you hear some hiphop music.this is why in order to sell units you must have atleast 2 commercial joints.this is a business,niggas dont even have videos for the songs that they want played..alot of artist dont even have radio ready music that why they get played latenight.ghost and some these niggas need to look at the industry and use it to there advantage like 50 does.half the songs 50 cent has yall dont even know them and yall only know his commercial stuff which is why you guys diss him so much.but notice he still laughing all they way to the bank, he told mobb deep how to do it. you can still make hood music but if you wanna seperate yourself from just being a hood rapper you must have commercial success.
dont blame the dj's if no one is requesting your music.when will ny rapper realize the game that they are in.why do you guys think mobb deep next single will be "give it to me" its not the best track on the album by far but its has commercial appeal.you haters on these blogs need to study and look what is going on.songs that dont play in clubs and have hot videos do not get radio play.
I feel what he sayin, but for many years down south artist and Westcoast and Midwest artist couldn't get airplay because NY was the capital of Hip-Hop and they wouldn't let anything pass but NY shit now its in reverse the way Ghost wants it is only NY shit gets played thats what he wants and thats BS cause they ain't the only place that can getting poppin. 2nd he is a great lyricist but lets be real Fiscale won't all that. Some tracks had to grow on me but it was just aiiight.
am in ny and that song he has with ne-yo is always getting airplay.this nigga is mad because ny niggas need to realize that hiphop is not like b4.ny hiphop aint go no where.the radio stations only play commercial and hit records.only late nights you hear some hiphop music.this is why in order to sell units you must have atleast 2 commercial joints.this is a business,niggas dont even have videos for the songs that they want played..alot of artist dont even have radio ready music that why they get played latenight.ghost and some these niggas need to look at the industry and use it to there advantage like 50 does.half the songs 50 cent has yall dont even know them and yall only know his commercial stuff which is why you guys diss him so much.but notice he still laughing all they way to the bank, he told mobb deep how to do it. you can still make hood music but if you wanna seperate yourself from just being a hood rapper you must have commercial success.

this dude thinks ny radio should play who?
jae mills
papoose
saigon
who?
his shit with ne-yo is always on the radio, if niggas learn to make radio ready material they would get spins.i hate hearing d4l all day and DFB, but whats the alternative?
play shit that you gotta bleep every bar.
whats the numbers on fichscle?
how many units has he done.
I guess today I'm going to be hatin BUT I think ghost face is on something every time he does an interview.
He is one of the most incoherent artists out there. I don't even think HE knows what he is talking about sometimes. Matter of fact this is the top 5 people that should never get interviewed again.
1. Ghost Face
2. Clara (she is odd)
3. DMX (Lol)
4. Tom cruise (He isn't an artist I just think he is off)
5. Any g unit member (they always giving shoot outs to there boyfriend 50)
Some of these niggas only means of eating is thru their music...
Dude i seen his last video... he had Bentley in that bitch and Apt that prob wasnt his. he's holding up all his chain in the shot up top I remember when he had that gold wrist ban with an eagle on it. Maybe he should have spent those ends a little better and eating wouldnt be so hard to do.
Man please ghostfaces' shit is always on the radio like these niggas said. Hes just mad because he doesnt have the crown and hes trying to front and say other niggas is mad. Its a cover up. Hes really letting out "his" feelings. Not other niggas feelings. Its always these old niggas. You dont see most of these young rappers complaining about shit like this. Its always these old ass niggas always having something to say. Hes mad because NY djays gace the crown away for money. Okay yea I agree with what he said, but damn if you so mad do something about it. Shit if you didnt know most of these shits are owned by VIACOM. Hot 97 is, BET is, I think MTV is not sure, even movie companies. Its all one BIG company. They pay Djs, they pay radio stations, they pay to get certain videos played. I mean past is the past, there aint shit you can do about payola can u ghost?
K-Rob
I have seen you on here before and you usually spit some on the level shit. But today nigga you on here encouraging niggas to make bullshit. 50 helped fuck NY up. This nigga got a NY label tag (needs to be revoked) and because of the horseshit he put out mutherfuckas think NY should follow. NAS told you niggas three summers ago that the 50's shit is bullshit and not hip hop. His shit is not the shit we want to hear B. That down south "hee haw" shit is not hip hop. Lean wit it rock wit it and all that barn hey music ain't hip hop. It is some kind of music but not hip hop. Fuck sells. Niggas got to eat but if you trying to make lute don't do this hip hop shit. It is not a money makin business. Only a few niggas make money off of hip hop. Now if you want to go the candy shop and make grillzs while you lean with it and rock with it them you can make some money off that bull shit. Wak shit sells because wak niggas and women like copping bullshit. That's the reality. New York niggas ain't eating because they is Hip Hop artists and it is really that simple. America is not a hip hop music nation. America is a rap nation that what you niggas is hearing on the radio rap music. So please stop with this save NY shit. We don't want to make the bullshit you niggas like. Niggas can either stand on the principles of hip hop, sellout or get the fuck out. Those are the three choices. Niggas like Common and Mos is standing while Mobb Deep chose selling out.
1 B.
i have been a ghost fan for a long time ..but he is putting a real sour taste in my mouth...he is becoming a class A hater...i feel the movement he is trying to spark.. but he is looking like larry homes...
pretty toney was a better album then fishscale anyway ...
Man this is a trip. Look 10 years ago it was Pac fault the started this east-west feud. Now look East vs South. Man come on these dudes in the south been starving for years. And see what Ghost said right about the radio. Duke I hope you read this some old articles have Pac stating that in New York they laugh at your music and it doesn't get played. Ghost are you calling for a boycott. Man check this Houston makes up a large part of the hip hop scene and LA makes up the rest of the 3 headed monster. No if you want to play big bank take little bank then NYC loses. See Suge partners with J-Prince. Man look I travel alot and people got big love for NY and much respect. But yo you can't be on that MIDDLE EAST mindset like yo Zion got to go. That is crazy yes me support you but we want to see our story told to. For me you are a hip hop royalty. Man in Africa when the King can't hold his ground he humbly goes off or gets ripped up. You feeling me yo. This here is some street/tribal thing. Don't get mad at NY, get mad at yourself. The true story is that WU never capitalized off that buxx/movement you had. You see 50 out and organizing making cash...NOW you like you get that record I had on the burner son. Let's update these themes right here and they loving us B. Not quite so fast...this generation fo finicky listners remember WU but are die-hard G-Unit fans or whoever it is this time. This isn't the 70's dude when artist put out quality material so a strong fan base was kept and they demanded records. Now it the busniess as much as the consumer. DEMAND_SUPPLY. You have to jump up like a fool to get some shine. Old man take it like a man. Until you invest in a old school rap station hang it up...
I agree with the dude though, but theres nothing he can do about all that and if there was, then get to it instead of talking about it. You rarely hear young rappers talking about shit like this. Its always the older niggas, but I feel their pain. Ghost has to recognize that back then radio wasnt as commercial. NOW it is. So TURN your RADIOS off and listen to some ill shit. I listen to the radio only after 12 am...but anyways its ill rappers that Im listening to now. Commercialism has took over, I just dont listen to it. Simple.
Come on people lets be serious if Ghost face is so into bigging up local artists he wouldn't be complaining about a DJ that sells units on the shelves of big businesses. He'd be bigging up the DJ's that are still out here hungry and only fucking with local artists because that's the only artists that show them any love. You know those kids you see in your local barbershops hustling CD-Rs or them kids still printing their CD covers on their pc printers and pushing them on the shelves of your local bodegas. One thing these artists fail to do once they have made it is remain hungry. Remember we don't have to buy your CD just like main stream DJs don't have to play your shit. We only have to pay $14.99 a month and download your shit. And those main stream DJs only have to play what the big marketing execs say will sell. Stay hungry and show your hood some love by supporting local artists doing shows in your own hood or any hood for that matter. Because Ghost cuzz you're the prime example of a no show should I mention your no show in Springfield? AND NOW YOU CRYING.......If you want to reach those that haven't crossed over to the mainstream stick with people that aren't mainstream simple as that. Ghost got the Cash he can start his own radio show start his own label and push your own units. Bring the WU back to the grit cuz the streets are hungry someone's got to do it and if not you the south is definitely stepping to the plate.
why do you all think snap music isnt good? What makes music good to you.
I say it if is silly its hip hop
d4l, lil john
if it is fun its hip hop
"the bunny hop" "the chicken head"
if its thought porvoking its hip hop
common, lupe
if its grimy its hip hop
pac, clipse
If its music its hip hop. whats not hip hop is the artist who sell themslves for money or make themselves look crazy by trying to fit in
50, busta
What is real hip hop?
What Ghost is saying is Fuck FGlex and Shot 97 for fucking rap up and selling and taking money to play ceratin people records,, who the fuck do they think they are they think thier better , and bigger then the artist Their fucking noboyds, all those dj's flex, clue, angie mar, wendy williams, ed lover, star and buc wild, fat man scoop, those nigga are radio disc jockeys, which is equivelent to a crossing guard if you ask me, niggas need to work thier 4 hours shifts and go back to their apartments... But those nigga sold the game out and accpeted money expecially funk master flex dik riding ass fucking loser
and fuck power 105 when it was a new station they said they were going to be different and even play old hip hop, but they turned into the same as shot 97 down the dial. fuck them all let me download my songs to my mp3 player so i wont have to listen to those faggots

do you think that the song ghost did with ne-yo is bullshit?
cmon ny niggas aint really doin nuttin but mixtapes and shit.look at papoose he went out and did a club banger with busta he learnin the game.ghost should have said fuck the radio not ny.the music that he want to get play cant get play(fcc).like is said b4 if you think 50 is all about "candy shop" and lil bit ' ect. then you dont really listen to hiphop.but he has recognize how the market works by watchin ja rule.he felt ja was doin bs too and now he knows why.the difference is 50 still has alot of mixtape material out that is bangin.
radio will not play mixtape shit in primetime.am not telling rappers to make BS but cmon, show some versatility.listen to satellite radio that the solution, no bars barred.thats is why eminem started his own shit for this reason.for the record g-unit does not get alot of play i hear dipset whenever flexx come on and fat joe.these are commercial dudes.50 always puts a couple commercial stuff out just to stay in the mix (best friend).mobb deep single"put them in their place' was not a commercial track and thats why not much radio play.but i bet "give it to me baby" will get spins.
It is a fact that radio stations are getting paid to play music, which is ILLEGAL!! Corporate America has taken over the radio and it is hurting everyone not just Ghostface. Nobody has lyrics anymore. The content of the songs has not changed in years. Guns, drugs, cars, hoes, and money is what every rapper talks about. Why do you think kids are killing each other, teens are having more babies than ever, and blacks are going to jail at an alarming rate? Corporate America uses sex, money, and murder to make money for those middle-aged white guys while America is dying slowly. Those NY DJ's are the worst guys in New York. They are selling theirs souls for money just like drug dealers. Why are kids singing "gettin some head" or "I'm in love with a stripper?" People forget that this trash gets ingrained in our minds and if we do not have willpower we are very likely to do these things. America is run by the rich and the poor get poorer and dumber because that is what corporate america wants. Real MC's need to step up put a positive message in the music. Not Kanye positive but really positive. Stop killing each other, solve hard problems, stop using drugs and alcohol, stop getting used for your body ladies, make black America stronger because white America is killings us with our own medicine!!! All of the old head say our generation is lost because we do not think. We try to say it is okay to hurt someone if we are struggling. It does not matter how poor you are, play the hand you are delt and be cool, Rome was not built in a day so if you want to get rich it will not happen over night. The dollar has all of us by the nuts and this country was built on free labor. Build your own wealth with your own labor instead of buying that garbage they play on the radio. All you are doing is getting someone else rich while you believe these fake thugs are really that tough in person. 50 cent rolls with police!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No nigga if it music its not hip hop. Hip Hop has a purpose B. It's not the mindless bullshit like the shit you southern niggas kick. You niggas had some Hip Hop Niggas like the DOC and Scarface. Now listen to the shit they was spitten and that country bumpkin shit everyone hear on the radio. Your shit is rap while the DOC and Scarface is Hip Hop.

you a dumbassnigga, back when ny hiphop was getting played name a song that was talkin about guns and shooting that got played.maybe sex contents got played but cmon where the fuck u from with you ignorant comments.
"50 cent rolls with cops" how lame you sound at the end of yo dumb comment.obviously you see him as a thug and thats why u chose to say he rolls with cops.if i say a bitch got fake titties that means i think her tit are nice.
get a life foo
K-Rob:
B I agree with what you said but what you said is the problem. NY niggas ain't trying to be something they ars not. NY niggas can learn a lesson from those southern niggas. Them niggas don't give a fuck about what a Brooklyn nigga like me say because they know I am not going to cop that shit anyway and that a whole bunch of other niggas is going to buy that shit. If NY niggas stay true to their roots then their turn will come around again. But if these niggas start kickin this Laffy Taffy bullshit they is going to sound stupid. NY just due U and wait your turn. At some point Niggas is going to want hear the real.
1 B
To the Real BK (Don't you mean the Real Gay)
East New York Nigga and don't think about it Nigga. Commin on here talkin loud Nigga. What the fuck you want nigga. What is 3 o'clock or something and now these little niggas out of school. Nigga call yall uncle if you want make noice you litle young ass niggas. A got hamma that fits your size 2 nigga. Now stay the fuck out of grown folk business. U G-unit Homo. Nigga got let out of school and came on here in a E-Thug mood. Funny ass little nigga. QG I found the nigga that Banks was fuckin on tape his name "is the real Gay".
the question is which ny artist are we not hearing?
do they have albums out?
yall need to be mad at the record companies really, they not signin niggas and the niggas they have if they cant make a commercial hit they album wont come out.if ne-yo never did that song with ghost this fischale would still be in the water.
ny rapper dont have to make laffy taffy shit but they need to make music that appeals to the masses.jad did "why" that was it.all these dudes need help when makin a song all they can do is mixtape stuff.anothing thing you guys screamin about real hiphop and wont buy they hiphop all you do is bootlegg.your opinions are not relevant because you not a consumer.why should i make music for you and you dont buy it?
I COPPED THAT NEW BUSTA CD AND IT'S AIIGHT. I LIKE THE JOINT WITH CHICO DEBARGE.
BUT BACK ON TOPIC, I THINK KANYE'S NEW VIDEO FOR GOLDDIGGER IS GOOD BUT NOT BETTER THAN LIL FLIP'S SUNSHINE VIDEO.
Ghost is absolutely on all levels. FUCK NEW YORK...CUZ NEW YORK AIN'T NEW YORK ANYMORE.
For those who feel differently, are part of the problem. I'm sure Ghost respects and loves his fans more than these fly-by-night mix tape rappers who are TEMPORARILY on top right now. NY sold out (I am a NY'r by the way). It's a shame when you have 13-14 year old kids from NY listening to music that doesn't represent where they came from. Yes, DJs, RADIO AND TV ARE TO BLAME. They give the youth no choice...artists don't make hit records, these outlets do. Most of the bullshit NY rappers feel they have to emulate the southern cats to make bread. BIG UP GHOST! FUCK NEW YORK!
Ghost meant by the industry in New York, not the fans in New York. But he has a point. Bitch ass Dj's are puttin BAMMAS on thier priority list and REAL NY artists on the backburner. There has been a lot of weak NY artist coming out, excluding Saigon, Tru-Life. NY has became weakened, not because they fallin off, it's because NY brethern cannot get together and make some beautiful muzik. Jealous of each other.
BigUP2BK
wow you found a gay tape, how long were you lookin for that?
any nigga talkin like you with that east ny shit is a lame. you probably cant even go outside because all those fake bloods got u shook.yall niggas is comedians when i read these jokes not comments.
"East New York Nigga and don't think about it Nigga. Commin on here talkin loud Nigga. What the fuck you want nigga" how u sound on a keyboard and am in the east all day Rutland nigga 90's you aint sayin nuttin,stop this internet thug shit it dont sound cool.
I agree with Ghost When says what he says about the DJ's but not his city. He has a point. Bullshit is ruling the airwaves. Im from Misssissippi, and I cant stand niggas like D4L & Lil Scrappy. But I Think NY has to change as well. Look at the Dipset. They have reached out to emcees from other reigions like The Game, Mike Jones, Young Jeezy, T.I., Luda, Paul Wall, Kanye and so forth. NY emcees hate each other. Ghostface also said that in last month's issue of XXL. D-Block vs G-unit, G-unit vs Nas, Dipset vs Nas, Dipset vs Jay-Z, Dipset vs Mase, G-unit vs Murder Inc, DMX vs Ja Rule, Fat Joe vs Cuban Link, G-unit vs Fat Joe, Fabolous vs Mase, Mase vs Loon, and my favorite Dame Dash vs Jay-Z. Now the south has seen its share of battles in recent years like T.I. vs Lil Flip, T.I. vs Luda, & B.G. vs Lil Wayne, but in majority the south has love for each other. I love NY Hip Hop. I love emcees like DMX, Jay-Z, Talib Kweli, The Lox, Biggie, Fabolous, Mos Def, Dead Prez, Papoose, & Busta. But NY has to realize Hip Hop doesnt live and die with NY. Hip Hop is a culture, not just a city or reigion. There is enough for everyone to get a piece. So I ask NY emcees to please come together, NY hasn't lost anything execpt the love for one another. Im a fan of hip hop, but all this negativity needs to stop, and the sooner niggas like 50 realize that the better off hip hop will be.

TRUE TRUE
K-Rob where are you from? You can't be from the tri-state area...Listen to what niggas is saying!!!!!!! He aint just playing radio friendly joints, he aint playing only popular joints...He will play anything Dipset over and over again no matter how wack it is...consecutively... the shit is nuts...with all the hot shit on the streets why would you play the same 10 consecutively every single night? He does the same thing with the songs that are gonna be on his albums or with the artist that will be performing at his car shows... That nigga is obviously up there exploiting the culture

Nah Nigga not Fuck New York. Its like my Man K-Rob said its the record companies that is pushing other people shit and got NY on hold. Freshfo88 the companies want Niggas to hear this southern shit because it is selling. And you are right we can't sound like them. Niggas got due themselves B. The south ain't trying to be New Yorkers. The snitch knows how to put out shit that appeals. For a minute that niggas was trying to sound like he was from the south. Niggas got to have some "nuts" and just be true to NY hip hop and shit will come there way. You can't put out bullshit like Mobb Deep just did. Being from New York is not enough for niggas to cop this NY hip hop shit. It just has to be good NY Hip Hop and the shit will sell. But right now niggas got to ride this southern shit out.
You cant just say that "Record companies want to push southern shit because thats whats selling" When the only groups that are getting publicity and radio play is southern artists. Record sales are based on publicity and marketing schemes thats why at 9:01am every morning you will generally hear the same song on the same station everyday. And disc jokeys dont typically choose the play list the play list is made way before they even arrive to work in the morning.
Man more little niggas on here. Nigga I don't need to E-Thug. Shut the fuck up you little high school nigga. You know I don't fucked a lot bitches in BK. I am sure I fucked one your aunties Nigga and guest what B, I got all the hoes I fucked on tape nigga. In fact Little young ass nigga you mighnt be my son. Have you even gotten any pussy yet you young little nigga? Nigga on here protecting G-Unit how wak is that. Nigga the Gay Lloydd Banks tape was on the net you little young nigga. Everyone saw your little homo hero.
NEW YORK-
Start making music we WANT to hear instead of complaining like BITCHES and maybe we will listen to your FUNKY music!!!!
STOP thinking that New York is God's House of Music and start realizing that your music is BORING and the only people that want to hear it is YOU!
New York what is really good! NOT YOUR MUSIC!
(Not every NY rapper sucks I'm just saying)
Prophet
They push that southern shit hard B. I know that marketing plays a role but there is an over abundance of the south's shit all over the place. I am not talking about one or two artists I am talking about pushing a whole region.
Ghost smells like a hater.
wu is over.
Im a NY nigga an I aint got a problem with Ghost puttin it out there like that. Fuck the New York rappers that eat dirty south dick to make a hit...Fuck the payola Dj's that spin garbage just because they get greased up with record label money...Fuck the industry for makin New York hafta put they best music on mixtapes to get heard....if u add up every mixtape sale in New York in addition to the artists that do move units I think yall will see that New York aint fallin off-its just that the way the game is designed we gotta take different lanes to get heard. Radio and Tv play are controlled by $$$...if the south is gettin the youth $$$ they gon be all over tv and radio...NY just gotta keep grindin n apply they hustle to wherever they can get shine...all it will take is one Wu-Tang type group to come back out n shut the industry down before NY get that shine in the mainstream again. Radio has always been a joke anyways...when Illmatic came out in 94 that shit aint get no spins but when u place it next to whats on the radio now u can see which will stand the test of time. Basically, mixtapes fucked New York up cuz the labels aint seein that money...it doesnt reflect in the soundscans for they purpose so they move on to whatever else they can rape for the biggest dollar amount. Niggas is mixtape rich n movin 250,000 label releases so the dude at the label aint seein the big picture of whats actually poppin off in the streets of NY.
this dude big up 2 brooklyn is a faggot
that mobb album was banging an anybody who disnt like it hasnt heard it
you g unit hate bag cats are getting corny every comment you make is about them niggas and you really dont wanna rep the artists you say you like i bet 90% of you faggots didnt buy fishcale in the store you bought the bootleg and you on here repping ghost?
you lyin and i bet you never even heard
36 chambers!!! stop complaining and buy them albums!! and i live in flatbush you fake bk nigga and all niggas listen to out here is 50 and if you lived in bk youd know that
MIXTAPE SHIT IS A EXCUSE...cats being selling there shit for years independent...NY IS NOT MAKE ANY HOT MUSIC PERIOD...yall niggas stuck on the page.waiting on a new king of NY but in the process ..we have took the market and will never give back ..sorry NY BUT YOUR LEGACY IS OVER AND WILL NEVER BE THE SAME ...it called Karma..
What is this G-Unit Homo Hour? This little Gay nigga talkin about he is "talk of new york(rotten apple)" Nigga U probably from charlottesville, Virginia. The other young gay nigga faking like he K-Rob. B, send me a DNA sample so I can see if I am your pops. Have your cousin send me one 2. I am sure me and boys pulled several trains on those bitches (your mom's and her sisters). Now let me teach U little virgin niggas a lesson. One, never suck another man's dick. 50 nuts are so sore from you niggas suckin em. Never have a homo like 50 and banks as a hero. Lastly, when you niggas finally get offered some pussy, listen now because this important, put your dick in the hairy opening between her legs. If its a him than you going to have to have Banks tell you about that.
I dont understand why everyone hates on down south music. If the shit wasnt hot it wouldnt sell and it wouldnt be on the radio. It is just entertainment. If you dont like it dont listen to it. When NY was hot there wasnt anyone from the south hatin on yall. As far as him saying fuck NY he stupid cuz if you did that shit in the A you wouldnt get any love.
LadyE just because an album sells and gets radio play doesnt mean its the best music out. It just means its the only music thats getting the financial backing it needs to sell. If i came to the A and said im from Lowell. People would be like what the fuck is Lowell. Because its an unknown part of massachuessettes. But that doesnt mean its of any equal or lesser value of the A just an unknown. People really need to wake up and see the bigger picture before we all lose. What do gas prices and music have in common????? Think about it.......
LOL@ THE NEW YORK MADNESS
This whole conversation is pretty fuckn sad. I can't believe it's come down to this. The biggest problem is, is that corporate America is in total control, they took away our choice. They've brainwashed us to think we have to be like everyone else in order to be successful. Why do you think every fuckn rapper dresses the same, talks about the same shit, shares the same interests, has the same goals? That shit trickles down to the audience...AND CATS DON'T EVEN REALIZE IT! Remember when Slick Rick was different from P.E. who was different from Biz who was different from Rakim who was different from Quest who was different from Kane, etc. All of these rappers co-existed...they would never put out ANY music or try to look like anyone else. We're being duped y'all, and either we don't know it or are to fuckn scared to be different. Ghost isn't.

EVERYONE CAN'T SHINE IN THE LIME LIGHT ALL AT ONCE. RESPECT THE SOUTH PLEASE NYC FELL OFF JUST ADMIT IT! GHOST FACE SAID IT LMAO SUCK IT UP AND WAIT UNTIL THE SHIFT HAPPENS AGAIN FOR YOUR LIME LIGHT!
Yeah I think its funny too. But only because its seems like the south is just to happy to be on top of the album charts they dont care about what type of image they are protraying to the rest of the world. In the south does your status really consist of fronts sippin lean and chicks dropping it like its hot? Or is there anything more intelligent talked about at the dinner tables? I can see it now the way its protrayed on tv.......(SO SON WHAT DID YOU LEARN TODAY....WELL TODAY DAD I LEARNED THAT BAGGING A BRICK WILL GET ME PLATINUM FRONTS TO COVER MY CAVATIES.....OH THATS GREAT SON....AND BABYGURL WHAT DID YOU LEARN TODAY......WELL TODAY DADDY I LEARNED THAT BOYS LOVE STRIPPERS AND IF I DROP DOWN AND GET MY EAGLE ON I CAN HAVE ALL THE BOYS HANDING ME BILLS AND SAYING THEY LOVE MY MILKSHAKE)....Hmmmmmmmm.....dont get me wrong i see the entertainment value in music and I respect it I mean there is a time and a place for a laugh and there is a time and place to be enlightened and I dont see both sides in music all im seeing today is the enetertainment value in it and nothing more. And im not one of those bean pie type dudes that will snarl at every brother they see with a pork rind in there mouth but seriously my people our songs come from hymns with slave messages in them and we've traded that for depeciating material items that have also depreciated our values and morals entertainment is one thing but when its becoming a time when school children are running around singing drop down and get your eagle on or im in love with stripper then society as a whole has a problem whether the artist is from new york atlanta los angeles or japan.
