GHOSTFACE KILLAH SHARES MAJOR COMPLAINT ABOUT TODAY’S RAPPERS

Ghostface Killah has a major complaint about today’s rappers, and he really wishes one of them would do something about it.

The Wu-Tang Clan legend sat down with Rolling Stone on Friday (May 17), where he revealed that he didn’t think today’s rappers knew about the art of storytelling.

“I don’t hear n-ggas doing storytelling no more, man,” he said. “There might be Nas. You might still got [Slick] Rick out there doing it … Raekwon, [GZA]. A lot of stuff be regular darts, regular raps. Everything with this new generation is about clubs.”

He continued: “A lot of pussy getting thrown around and shit. It ain’t like with MC Lyte. Even when Lil’ Kim did it, she was gangsta with it. She was a rapper’s rapper. … But the Lauryn Hills of this shit [are] gone. Even the Foxys and shit like that, like a lag came over it. But all this other ‘lick my ass,’ ‘my butthole brown’ shit, it’s like … it’s too much.”

This isn’t the first time that Ghostface Killah has reflected about times gone by.

Last month, Ghost sat down with Big Daddy Kane for a session with HipHopWired‘s “I Got Questions,” wherein he revealed that “All That I Got Is You” — the classic track featuring Mary J. Blige off of 1996’s Ironman — causes him so much sorrow that he doesn’t perform it live.

“It just gets me sad,” he explained. “I don’t really perform that because it brings me back to a place where we was going through it. That record brings pain.”

Ghostface isn’t shy about performing in general, however, as he recently proved when he joined Fat Joe onstage during the Terror Squad rapper’s recent Harlem show.

Last month, the Terror Squad boss hosted the Fat Joe & Friends concert at the historic Apollo Theater in New York City’s Harlem neighborhood.

During the set, he welcomed several rap veterans on stage such as 50 Cent, Ghostface Killah, Lil Kim, Ashanti, The LOX, Remy Ma and State Property, among many others.

The concert, which was put together in celebration of the 20 year anniversary of Joey Crack’s 2004 hit “Lean Back,” also featured performances of “Shook Ones, Part II” by Mobb Deep‘s Havoc, “Déjà Vu (Uptown Baby)” by Peter Gunz, “We Fly High (Ballin’)” by Dipset and many more.
