Ghostface Killah - Cocaine Lexicon Flow (1997-2001)

After releasing his debut album Ironman in 1996, Ghostface switched up his flow. From 1997 through to 2001 he perfected his style of high-pitched, emotional stream-of-consciousness narratives, containing cryptic coked-out slang and non-sequiturs. During this 5-year run, Ghost's nonsensical spaghetti raps outshone all Wu members on Forever (1997) and The W (2000), peaked during his magnum opus in 2000 with Supreme Clientele, then began to teeter during Bullet Proof Wallets (2001). In 2003 he signed with Def Jam and made the decision to quit drugs completely while recording the Pretty Tony album. And with that his rap style (sadly IMO) changed to what we hear today.

He's been consistently putting out great albums since his debut (maybe only the Roots are more consistently good), but he was most defiantly at his greatest from from '97 to '01 - a period where he was in the conversation as the best rapper to ever live. Below is a tribute to that time.

Ghostface Loses Count Of His Blunts. Weed'll Do That To You.

GFK is a little hazy on his blunt addition. I'm struggling myself a day after the NY festivities, but a calculator tells me the amount is over 1800, a year.

Big Ghostfase: Watch The Throne Review

P-Tone gives his opinion on each track from Jay-Z & Kanyes album which we're all listening to now.

Here's an except:

11. Made In America (ft. Frank Ocean) - First of all son....Lionel Richie called from 1986 n said he wants his song back yo. Word. Sade jus holla'd on twitter to say this shit is soft as fuck namsayin. I think Elton John wants to conceive babies to this joint b. Drake said he gon soak in his lotion pool to this shit rite here for like a week son. I think Wiz Khagina is scissorin wit Amber Rose to this shit rite now as we speak yo. I heard this shit gon be used for the next Gwyneth Paltrow movie too. I dont kno how the same nigga that did Who Gon Stop Me had anything to do wit this shit but apparently he did nahmean. This shit sounds like two niggas hang glidin over the ocean together at sunset holdin hands son. I think this is bout to be on Yung Berg's yoga playlist. I cant fuck wit this shit at all b. This shit is like audio lesbian comin out my speakers son.

Ghostface Comments

This is the best thing to happen in 2011 (so far). Someone has decided to dominate the comment boards over at 2dopeboyz and write posts as if it were Ghostface himself. And. It. Is. Fuckin'. Hilarious. It's actually amazing how good this dude/chick is at imitating him... Here's an example of him commenting on a post about Dr Dre's Detox album:

Ayo whattup internet niggas its that nigga Ghost Deini aka Big Tone Soprano namsayin. Ayo this nigga Dre a legend in the game n alla that namsayin. N yall already know he respect the Clan n shit too nahmeans. Word yo. Ayo a nigga just eatin his tortellinis n shit jus doin his thing n alla that when that nigga Alvin hit the god on his jack n told me the Detox joint was actually comin n shit. N yo the god be lovin that nigga Dre albums as much as the next nigga namsayin but yo…the nigga need better titles on his joints n shit nahmeans. Ayo pardon that cos I aint tryna step on the nigga toes n shit. But yo a light bulb just went off in a nigga head nahmeans n yo I seen that shit in a vision nahmeans. So I gets my peoples to get in touch wit Dre peoples so the god could propose a nigga ideas to that nigga Dre so on n so forth namsayin. We arrange a sit down at Interscope offices n shit n word the shit was on niggas. We fly out namsayin. N yo we walks into the board room n alla that. Dre up in there along wit Jimmy Iovine n a couple other snow niggas namsayin. So yo the god makes his opening statements n shit n address the ladies n gentlemen of the board namsayin. A nigga puttin on a professional demeanor n shit. A nigga usin lots a hand gestures to emphasize my points n shit n keep they attentions n shit nahmeans. Word. So I put together a list of 20 song titles for Dre to go through n use at his discretions n shit nahmeans. Ayo this is priveleged info n shit nahmeans. These Interscope legal department muthafuckas had the god signing waivers n confidentiality agreements n shit nahmeans. Word yo this some classified shit my niggas. Word yo the god took a oath n shit to not speak on the project in any shapes or forms whatsoever nahmeans. So I figures aight then a nigga wont really talk to nobody n shit but Imma let a couple my internet niggas know on the low tho. So keep this shit to yall selves. These the titles of the 20 or so joints thats pending the nigga Dre approvals n shit. Ayo the god also advised that nigga to keep features down to a minimum n shit namsayin. But yalls already know theres certain niggas that gotta be on that nigga Dre joints. So without further ados peep the shit. Boom.

1. Lavender Pajamas Intro (feat. Ghostface)

2. Golden Panda Fury (feat. Eminem & 50 Cent)

3 The Mighty Swordz of D.R.E. (feat. Ghostface)

4. Porcupine Hurricanes (feat. Snoop Dogg & U-God)

18. Ravioli Nigga Cartel (feat. Ghostface)

19. Imma Fuck Ya Broads (feat. Ghostface)

20. Waltz Of A Thousand Midgets (Ghostface Outro)

Ayo yalls mighta already noticed but the god threw in a couple ideas for features n shit. Ayo a nigga really hope this shit gon happen cos that nigga Dre looked at a nigga real real serious like he was thinkin bout that shit while a nigga was talkin. Nigga just kept wrinklin his forehead n squinting like he was tryin to see the gods power point presentation better n shit. The nigga Dre just kept lookin at Jimmy Iovine like listen to this nigga. Like he was thinkin this nigga makin some brilliant points n shit. Word. So yo this shit is prolly bout 90% done n shit. Niggas just gotta wait on paperwork n for that ink to dry namsayin. Word.

Aight Peace.
