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.
Excellent, I thoroughly enjoy the show. Ghost is the man nuff said.
The show started off with Ghost rapping "Run". I love that song. I thought Ghost Face, Cappa Don and Raekwon was great. They have such great chemistry on stage. They kept the crowd going with hits after hits. I LOVE IT! Their performance was a couple hours; but I was very happy. They basically did the whole Cuban Link Disc. That was classic!!!!!!!!! Also, they bought out Brand Nubian; I was screaming so loud. Truly this show was Hip-Hop finesse. Classic and GREAT Pioneers!
Ghost your such a cutie! I had a ball. People please remember not to get pissy drunk, collapsing at the club is umm... not sexy! Anyway, special guests were off the chain. I HATED standing in line for 2 hours waiting to get in, it was cold as hell and i'm sick now because of it ...but it was well worth the wait!
He's the best. Authentic. You can tell he loves his craft.
The show was dope, to hae Rae and Cap made it that much better. Bringing Brand Nubian out was a great idea.
ghost couldve been better and even dressed nicer and maybe encouraged more women of color to get up on stage. cappadonna and them other cats cant rap, really ghost took too long to get there and it wouldve been nice to hear more from him.
Ghostface was ready to give a great show but the troc's sound system was horrible. which had him and the crowd upset so the show went downhill after the sound problem wasn't fixed. ad the opening acts had better sound than the main act. i left kinda disappointed.
They were having technical difficulties all night. The entire crowd would stand around for 30 minutes at a time in between acts while they blared some songs from the radio. The opening acts were weak. The second half of the concert, Ghostface just stood there while his posse rapped his songs. The bass was too high, the music too low. Too much yelling in the mic. Would not recommend. I'm a huge Ghostface fan, but woulnd't go back to a concert of his or back to this venue.
Well, I would love to say that it was great seeing Ghostface but it appears he was a phantom because when I left at MIDNIGHT he still hadn't come on. The show was supposed to start at 8 but the first opening act didn't even go on until after ten! We had gotten there at 7:45 and it was standing room only. My boyfriend had to wake up at 5 the next morning for work so when GFK wasn't on by 12 am, we left. Completely unsatisfied and dissapointed. I will never again go to the Paradise to see a show.
The concert was sick man!!!! The only complaint I have of the whole night is that the DJ who played before set was pretty long. But once Sheek came out, the whole crowd started yelling DBBBBBLLLLLOOOOOCCCCCKKKKK! And it was on from there. Ghost killed it. Ending it with the song latest hit was the best move.
I absolutely loved the show...great perfromances would definitely go see Ghost again...he always comes prepared to rock the show. It was 2nd time seeing Ghost and simply enjoy his presence...can't wait til the next show!!!!
Great show. Opening act was commendable (although the audience wasn't as amped about them--but hip hop fans are tough). When Ghost came out though, it was on. He is a great entertainer, and his hype men are good too. All in all, a great show. Can't wait to see him again!!
Ghostface was apparently to cool to even sing at his show. There were two dudes singing all his songs for him while he stood there.
I bought these tickets as a birthday gift for my boyfriend and I think I enjoyed the show more than he did! Since I'm from CA, I don't know his music that well but I do now. That was the most amazing show I've ever seen! I can't wait to go buy all his albums!!!!
Ghostface, Skyzoo and the others basically burried everybody else who says they are hip hop for that moment they were on stage. Crazy energy
GHost ran through all his classic joints, Mighty Healthy, Nutmeg, We made It, 4th Chamber, Child's Play, Bicuits, Baby and many more!!!!
I think this was one of the best shows I have ever been to!! I was able to get very close to the stage and the crowd was exciting, but not dangerous!! The music was very loud, but concerts usually are!! I would recommend getting to this venue early if you want a particular place to watch the show!! Overall great location and event!!
ASTOUNDING performance. The local talent was represented with Metrognome rocking the turntables accompanied by a couple of young lyricists. Another Indiana mastermind on the tables (Jeff I hope?) set the pace for the evening slicing in an impressive and obscure variety that would strike any real hip hop fans' fancy. All in all, a sweaty good dancing time with mad lyrics of plenty. Worth every penny B-) \m/(>.<)\m/
I call Ghostface Killah a legend because he has been around long enough to be known as just that and he is a master at what he does. Please have him comeback next year. I was very happy to be up close and personal with him because i have followed his music for over 16 years now and still do. He is my favorite out of the Wu Tang Clan and i let him know that and he was appreciative of it. Thanks for letting me reminisce all the songs from his albums and of other members of the Wu family. Colorado loves you man! ONE!
Ghostface killed it!!!! He came on stage and wanted the crowd to be into the performance. He went thru many of his songs and Wu tang songs. It was a great concert.
