Ghost is my favourite rapper. IMO, dude is the GOAT. Others may not agree, but I got him as the best out there b/c of his consistency, discography, storytelling, lyrical ability, etc.
That said, I don't mind Action Bronson's music, but his good shit is few and far inbetween. When I download his shit, i'll end up deleting like 10 songs for every one i keep i my library, whereas with Ghost, i'm more likely to keep 10 for maybe every 1 i delete.
And truth be told, i only really decided to continue checking for Bronsolino b/c it's like getting a mediocre version of Ghost circa Supreme Clientele days, when he was doing his confabulation raps. At least with Ghost, it was pretty clear he was experimenting with different styles, and that style was his experiment in rapping nonsense to see how see how lyrical he could be without really saying anything. But Ghost has proven time and time again that he's among the best rapping in many different styles (hence his naming albums like Ironman, Supreme Clientele, and The Wizard of Poetry - all stylistically different albums).
Ghost coming out like this at Action leaves Bronson in a no-win position. And its totally his fault. He paused before he gave his answer and was smirking when he said it. He knew what he was doing and thought his hype had him surpassing Ghostdeini.
Action Bronson can talk when he's influenced as many artists with his music as Ghost.

Ghost is legendary when it comes to violence though.

I am ghost fan and I tolerated bronson. A few of bronson songs got me hyped, especially his earlier stuff, but I never thought he was ghost.
Although tone and patterns were similar to a younger ghost, the content and free association (or no association) was not at ghosts level, but still decent enough for me to vibe with.
I'll be honest the comparisons always bothered me, but I saw prodigy and styles p and ghost and rae themselves working with him so I figured why should I get upset if the og's that im a fan of are accepting him. Not to mention, schoolboy q, currency, asap rocky and others co-signing him.
After this I'll still listen to action if its nice, but he is in the rick ross box in my mind, in that he is a complete fraud that knows how to make good music.

Jadakiss best verse
The more I think about it, the more Action Bronson comes off unoriginal.
Let's look at few things about his persona.
- Action Bronson raps about wrestling and food.
- Ghost always references food in his raps + dude was holding it down for wrestling way back in the Apollo Kids video, when he was rocking the Championship belt.
- Pun was also always rappin' about food
- Action Bronson tone and free association confabulation raps
- I don't even have to go into detail about this regarding Ghost - who owns this style with a vengeance.
- Action Bronson always has pics of him doing the splits with his hands in the air - as seen on the Mr. Wonderful cover
- That was Pun's logo
- Action Bronson video for Strictly 4 My Jeeps show him playing basketball being the fat dude that can ball
- Pun already did that in the Whatcha Gonna Do video with Fat Joe ballin'...pretty sure Bronson used the same location for the video too
- Action Bronson has his little videos of him giving cooking tips
- Ghost already did that with his Tips On Living series.
- Action Bronson had Asians getting it from behind while cleaning on Saaab Stories album cover
- A year before, Ghost dropped his verse on New God Flow, where he specifically mentioned "Asians get it from behind while they cleaning my wok".
I'm sure there's more, and i might be reaching with a couple of these, but this is just off the top of my head.

Just watched the ghost video and wow ghost is in his feelings, sending death threats because bronson said "he don't rap like this no more"? Ghost looking foolish bronson needs to go body slam that sensitive bitch, oh and bronson has better music and is a better rapper, cry me a river you geeky fucks, don't make me come back in here and really break this shit down.

No, Bronson has never done anything that can amount to Ghost, nor will he ever be capable of doing so. Ghost has been one of the most consistent rappers of all time. What Bronson got on his resumé that's fuckin wit that?
