Ghostface Killah on a Forgotten MC Skill: 'You Might Hear Nas or Slick Rick Do It'

Ghostface Killah on a Forgotten MC Skill: 'You Might Hear Nas or Slick Rick Do It'

Fresh off the heels of his star studded album, Set The Tone, Ghostface Killah sat down with Rolling Stone and discussed an essential MC skill that he feels is missing in Hip-Hop today. "I don’t hear [MC's] doing storytelling no more, man," he shared. "There might be Nas. You might still got Slick Rick out there doing it, Raekwon, and GZA. A lot of stuff be regular darts, regular raps. Everything with this new generation is about clubs."

Ghostface also compared female Mc's of yesteryear to the current crop, explaining that the current generation is style over substance. "The Lauryn Hills of this shit are gone," he said. "Even the Foxy Brown's and shit like that, like a lag came over it. But all this other 'lick [me]', 'my butthole brown' shit, it’s like it’s too much."

As far as his new music, Set The Tone marks Ghostface's first album since 2019's Ghostface Killah's, and his first release on Mass Appeal. The 19 song project includes features from Fat Joe, October London, Remy Ma, Nas, Remy Ma, Jim Jones, AZ, Method Man, Raekwon, Kanye West, Sheek Louch, Ja Rule, and more.
