This from pitchfork:
Though other Wu-Tang alums may get more press, Ghostface is arguably the most prolific. Speaking to MTV.com, the former Killah spoke about his plans to work on an album with MF Doom, his next solo LP, and yet another project with Raekwon. The MF Doom album is scheduled for a fall release, while the other two records also figure to come out in 2005. Whatever way you chop it up, if it means Ghostface will release three albums this year, that equals an exceptional autumn and winter.
Ironman and the Vaudeville Villain have already completed six songs, and just in case you sense a potential clash of styles in the collaboration (the same people who've already forgotten Madvillainy), Ghostface explained the attraction to MTV: "I'm into old hip-hop, and the music that he makes is right up my alley. His beats are real underground. He's got the sound RZA had back in the day." Doom's label, Nature Sounds, will likely release the album.
However, it doesn't end there. Doom has also been involved with Ghostface's follow-up to last year's The Pretty Toney Album. The album has been tentatively dubbed Rapper's Delight, and it will also feature several guest spots by Raekwon. Which leads us to album number three: though the process has just begun, Ghostface said, "I told him [Raekwon] to send me some beats that he wants to use so I could catch some lines on it when I could."
Clearly, this album isn't quite so advanced as the other two, but who cares? Ghostface sounds like a man on a mission when he says, "I just wanna get my talent out to the world within these next two or three years. And maybe two albums after that I might call it a wrap."
Ghostface even had some thoughts on what will come after he hangs up the mic. "I'm going to go straight into film," he said. "I've been writing movies. I want to produce and direct if I could and just get my movie career up, 'cause I think I could get real busy on the acting tip."
This all seems perfectly natural coming from a member of the Wu, but it still won't detract from the pleasure of seeing "Producer, director, actor: Tony Starks." And oh, the possibilities for collaboration on the silver screen! Makes news hounds like ourselves feel all warm inside.
Yes.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees.
Take that you cunts. |
