Holy crap, is that really a song from the eternally delayed Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2? It is! (And it's very NSFW, which is why I waited until now to post it.) [Nah Right]

Ghostface's cameo in Iron Man has been snipped from the final cut of the flick, which opens this Friday, but there's a new song of his, "Slept On Tony With Dirt," on the soundtrack. But while Ghost wound up on the cutting-room floor, the suits behind the movie thought that Tom Morrello was worthy of cameo time; his "olive skin and and Mediterranean-like features (he's actually of Kenyan/Irish descent) were evidently enough to get him cast as a member of the terrorist insurgents with Al-Qaeda like beard and all." Ooh, political! [The Playlist]

Ghostface Is Not Sure That His MySpace Friends Are Really His Pals


Ghostface is tired of using technology, at least as far as street-teaming goes. In the above clip, he laments the fact that, while he has 115,000 MySpace friends, his album The Big Doe Rehab only scanned about 30,000 copies—actually, it was 36,000—in its first week on shelves. And dude does have a point, one that anyone who ever tried to get their e-pals to help them move, attend a reading, or show up at an outerborough bar on a frigid weeknight can probably identify with. But really, is claiming that anyone who buys his album and provides him with proof of purchase will get some Ghostface time the best way to manage the gap between virtual friendship and the real thing? Because 115,000 meet-and-greets takes up a lot of time that could be spent doing, well, anything else. [YouTube via Nah Right]

Ghostface is selling a fitted cap, worn and signed by him, on eBay. Bidding is at $202.50 and the auction has a week to go, so if you're interested in winning, you may want to start checking behind your couch cushions. [eBay]

The Wu-Tang Clan have pushed the release of 8 Diagrams back from Dec. 4 to Dec. 11 so as to avoid conflict with the release date of Ghostface's The Big Dough Rehab. RZA on the latest delay: "We didn't have him move, we moved ... I think that shows the kind of bigger men we could be. Ghost is my brother, [I] love him to death. But we're in this business, and it's hard to kind of discern what's right and what's wrong. ... BBut I will say that, when it comes to a Wu-Tang Clan album, I plan on making it a 60-, 90-day type of schedule. ... It turned out to be a 200-day schedule ... and I didn't want to wait until next year [to put out 8 Diagrams]." [MTV]

If it's October, it must be time for songs from Ghostface's upcoming album to leak, so here's the Rare Earth-sampling "Celebrate," the first single from Big Dough Rehab. [Nah Right]

Comment

Now that he's collaborating with the likes of Jewel, Ghostface has apparently decided to hit the road in a separate bus from the rest of the Wu-Tang Clan. (When he plays with them, that is; he was a no-show at the Wu-Tang's performance last night at the Bumbershoot festival.) [Line Out]

Leak Of The Day: Ghostface And Prodigy Recount Their Medical Histories

DJ Green Lantern has a new mixtape out, and it's got a star-studded cast, with verses by the likes of Nas, Mike Jones, and Redman, as well as the obligatory Lil Wayne appearance. Nah Right has posted a Jay-Z freestyle from the mix (UPDATE: the whole tape is now up there), but we're pretty into the downbeat "Trials Of Life," where Ghostface and Prodigy drop verses about the health problems they've had to work through: More »

Leak Of The Day: We Have Finally Achieved Ghostface Overkillah

We know, we know: Enough with the More Fish leaks already. But the whole album's online now, and it's one of the last need-to-hear records of the year, so we really had no choice. Here's "Outta Town Shit," which features a spoken-word cameo from a guy who sounds suspiciously like a certain Naked Gunner: More »

Leak Of The Day: Ghostface Gives Kelly Clarkson Another Unlikely Musical Shout-Out

What a week Kelly Clarkson's having—one day she's collaborating with Mike Watt, the next she's getting props from Ghostface. "You Know I'm No Good," Ghostface's stinging duet with British spitfire Amy Winehouse, is slated to be on next month's More Fish, and it's also going to serve as the B-side for Winehouse's single release of the original track. (Which is, alas, Clarkson-free.) More »

Yet Another Leak Of The Day: Ghostface, "Ghost Is Back"

The first single from Ghostface's More Fish—his second full-length of 2006, set to come out on Dec. 19—the fiery "Ghost Is Back" is awesome, with Ghostface boasting (and name-checking Ruben Studdard) over the bass-heavy backing track from Eric B. and Rakim's "Juice (Know the Ledge)." More »

Caption This: When Ghostface Met Lady Sov

The scene: Last night at the mtvU Woodie Awards. The players: Wu-Tang loose cannon Ghostface Killah and itty bitty British MC Lady Sovereign. We have no idea what they were discussing, but we're going to guess that Def Jam's promotional priorities were at least mentioned in passing. More »

Internet-Savvy Readers Don't Have Your Back (On The Sales Front)

Oh Word's Sacha Orenstein looks at factors affecting sales by recent offerings from Wu-Tang Clan member Ghostface Killah and Bay area rapper E-40. Ghostface's album, Fishscale, scooped up heralds from critics and bloggers left and right, while E-40's My Ghetto Report Card recieved little press; yet it wasn't the recipient of the huzzahs whose album went gold. Orenstein's analysis is a solid read, particularly for this nugget: More »
