Metal Lungies

This HipHopDX.com interview with GFK is about a week old but fuck it, Ghostface interviews are always interesting and give a lot of insight into his creative process.

Some real talk here:

Prior to signing with Def Jam, you would release an album about every two years. Do you just have more material these days or did you want more exposure?
GFK: Yeah, just put ’em out there. Before I did Fishscale, I was puffing a lot of weed and all that other shit. That shit makes you take a while to do things. The way the game is now, if you’re gone for a couple years people kind of forget about you. I just wanted to go ahead and go in so I could keep that torch burning. I don’t want to miss being in the people’s presence.

Ghost on the “Who would you fuck?” skit from Supreme Clientele:

DX: Yeah. Did you ever catch any backlash from that one?
GFK: I saw them, but nobody said anything though. You can’t really do that shit no more because these chicks got babies now. Even back then they probably had husbands and you’re saying, “Who would you fuck?” and then naming their wife. It was good for what it was back then. I saw all them, but ain’t nobody gonna say nothing.

Also, where SOHH.com had Ghost blog for them, HHDX has a blog from Brooklyn Bodega where he tells a story about going to Big Doe Rehab with Ghost. Pretty funny shit and it’s accompanied by some ill illustrations by Jimmy Blags aka James Blagden (he did the Ghost drawing posted at the top of this post). Check out some of his art here, I really dig his stuff.
