GHOSTFACE KILLAH IN CONCERT:
Ghostface Killah has been burning up the mic with his clever storytelling skills and rapid-fire rhymes since his early days in the legendary hip hop collective Wu-Tang Clan. Killah’s intelligent and diverse flows paint vivid portraits of the harsh realities of street life, and his evocative rhymes have made him one of hip-hop’s most acclaimed wordsmiths. In concert he spits his raps with razor-sharp precision while his DJ flips through familiar tracks like “Back Like That”, “Apollo Kids”, and “Cherchez La Ghost” at a breakneck pace. Ticket buyers can try to rap along, but they’ll soon learn that only the acrobatic tongue of Ghostface Killah can handle the veritable tour de force that the original Ironman brings to the mic on tour.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Ghostface Killah, aka Dennis Coles, was born in 1970 on Staten Island, NY. As a roommate of The Wu-Tang Clan’s de facto leader RZA, he was instrumental in bringing together various members of the groundbreaking hip hop collective. Though he flourished in an ensemble role on the group’s pivotal 1993 debut album Enter the Wu-Tang Clan (36 Chambers), he was featured more prominently two years later on Raekwon’s solo album Only Made 4 Cuban Linx…. Killah’s 1996 solo debut Ironman is often considered one of the best solo albums to come out of the Wu-Tang Clan, and his 2000 sophomore offering Supreme Clientele further established his trademark blend of vivid storytelling and warp speed rhymes. After a number of successful collaborations with heaveweights like Missy Elliot and Jadakiss, he continued to slay with the Mafioso-inspired street tales of 2006’s Fishscale. In addition to working with the various members of Wu-Tang Clan, Ghostface Killah has collaborated with Ne-Yo, MF Doom, and Badbadnotgood in recent years, and his live performances remain an impressive display of unparalleled rhyming skills and storytelling brilliance.
Besides the sound being horrible at the House of Blues Boston, I was disappointed that Gza, Ghost and Rae didn’t all come out to perform together. GZA did his thing in the beginning and never came back out. I’ve seen Wu a bunch of times and this was a disappointing show for me.
The show started a bit late, but that wasn’t a major issue. The real problem was the sound. The artist understandably complained throughout the night, and I think Cap even joked about wanting to fire the sound guy. Their voices were barely audible, drowned out by constant feedback and low levels. On top of that, the merch was disappointing—felt like Temu-level quality.
The sound at house of blues was terrible, the mics were barely working which affected the performers set. I’ve seen Wu perform plenty of times, but they weren’t able to give 100% because if the venues sound issues
Show was trash due to the sound guys! The House of Blies need to fix the sound asap
Does anyone know when the NC 12/4 show new date is ?
I ordered founders room tickets over the summer for the same show and it was canceled for zero reason. It looked to be open during the show. Overall great as always
Absolutely amazing show put on by all three of them! They absolutely crushed it and can’t wait to see them again!
I had an excellent experience from the line moving quickly to the show and all the artists being the ultimate professionals… The service staff was great and security as well. The venue itself was Fantastic, there were no obstructive views and everything looked extraordinary!!!!
Love seeing these guys they rock a crowd like they did when they were in their 20s. Unfortunately the lack of attention to detail with the meet and greet afterward kind of tainted the experience.
The Performance was excellent and the energy they gave off was GREAT!!! I would see them again in a Heartbeat!!! They performed all of the songs that were hits and mainstream and they also performed the hidden gems that weren't necessarily mainstream!!!
