Artist:
"Sensitive thugs, they all need hugs" - Jay-Z , Heart of the city
In a recent radio interview in Europe, Ghostface opened up about a few personal issues, which is not extremely common in the bravado filled world of hip hop. Ghostface reveals that despite the expensive jewelry he's known for wearing, he's not a wealthy man, "Just because you see me with jewelry on and whatever, don't pay the jewelry no mind" SOHH reports.
Why yes, that IS a huge golden bird attached to his wrist, thanks for asking.
Finances arent his only issue though, despite being a famous emcee in one of hip hops most known groups, Ghostface feels alone, and likes being away from everything he's known for, "There's a song by a group called Blue Magic called 'Three Ring Circus' and it reminds me of me because I got my friends and everything, Wu- Tang Clan, but I like to be by myself," Ghost continued. "Don't get me wrong I love my friends and everything but I feel a lot more comfortable by myself so I can think. "So in the song, he says he performs in front of the people and he makes them laugh, he was like a clown and he performed at the circus and made all the people laugh, but when he goes home he was just a lonely baker. And that's what [fans] dont understand. When I go home, when I leave the tour, that's how I am, I just feel lonely inside. I'm just a lonely old man and people don't know that."
On his next album Ghostface Killah plans to switch it up a little. Although he released 2 wildly popular albums in 2006 using his tried and true formula, Ghostface is vowing not to use any profanity. "On my next album, which might be a double album, I'mma stop cursing cause I don't think God wants me to curse too much on my records," he explained. " So I'mma start singing for God, not singing but rapping, singing good stuff for the women, the children and for us. I dont care what people think no more because I've sung a lot of that 'my gun this and my gun that' cause I been there. I'mma do something totally different on the next album."
