Where did all these Ghostface fans come from? know people like him but I didn't know it was so many. Ain't heard 5 people talk about Ghost or Bronson before today, now it's all over the internet.

And your screen name is rap music?

I can't believe I missed this whole situation when it occurred. That was classic Ghost!! Bronson fucked up crossing the GOD when he showed nothing but respect for the guy In the past.

At least Bronson didn't play the fool route and apologized publicly after fucking up.

Respect WU!

 

[Mally_G]

Respect WU!

that's all anyone can do at this point

and I gave AB the benefit all these years. even went back through his early shit and witnessed his "evolution", but I knew Ghost eventually was going to say something.

but listening to AB, he did low key jack Ghost's style and content. Folks may say nah, he didn't jack the content, but if you really listen, he tries to speak in that slanguage that Ghost/Rae/RZA/Cappa speak; that odd speak that you have to sit and decipher after a few listens to get the story he's telling.

that's what made him listenable. it's like listening to "new Ghost" material, even though it wasn't on par, but passable. just as Ghost said, "my fans are your fans", and he's right on with that conclusion.

You can't help what your voice sounds like (Shyne and Biggie, Ghost and Bronson), but cadence, delivery, style,etc are shit that you can control. Bronson clearly bit Ghost style, delivery, and flow.

 

[its....JOHN B]

I always hated that misconception about Shyne "he tries to sound like Big" or "he's a poor mans Biggie", nah he had a similar voice that's about it, Gorilla black on the other hand tried to sound and flow just like Big

i always felt that Puff was trying to capitalize on the death of BIG by creating a clone, and knew listeners would eat that shit up. It was too close to BIGs death that Shyne came out (Total's Sitting Home remix) for his voice to be too much of a coincidence or natural. Even Puff's intro on the Sitting Home remix says "the man you all been waiting to hear", that goes to show that he was trying to feed the fiends and C.E.B. not caring what he just unleashed.

If BIG hadn't passed, would Shyne ever been released?

Through the years, there had been many clones and pretenders to artists living and dead, and the truth in hip-hop dispelled them quickly.

Angelous sounds like Jay-Z, and never had a true career because of the voice and flow. Even down to the mannerisms, Angelous was biting Jay and got blackballed.

A young Ali Vegas could flip between a Jay-Z and Nas flow, and he even sounded like Nas in his delivery. He was regarded as the next Prince of Hip-Hop, but trouble with his label and Trackmasters killed his career.

Krazy out the N.O. sounded like 2Pac, and only stayed regional

Cormega had a dude named Miz (Legal Hustle) that had the cadence of Jay-Z but nowhere near the flow. Also Mega had a chick named Dona (Legal Hustle) who folks thought was Foxxy Brown, but he shelved her because she couldn't get a buzz. If you Google her, you'll see another style that Nicki Minaj bit in her early days in terms of dress. Nicki straight stole her look early.

That's just a few off the top that I can think of. But today's rap scene tolerates and don't care what you sound like; even if one man is biting the next or someone before them. They getting away with too much shit that was punishable by career death 15-20 years ago.

Did anyone defend Action Bronson beside his cousin LOL?

 

[supergangster]

I agree with mostly everthing you said but Shyne didn't even sound that much like BIG..didn't flow like him either

The bar for "sound like" doesn't need to be exact clone. Guerrilla black was a clone to where you may actually confuse him with biggie, but shyne def sounded like biggie...so much so that junior mafia and them didn't even fuck with shyne at first cause they thought he was biting.

Also, the buzz around at that time was a biggie sounding dude was bubbling. He started a bidding war between def jam, bad boy, and a few other labels...and it wasn't because of his skills...it was purely his voice.

Basically anytime you say "well he really don't sound like..." chances are he sounds like the guy.

In this case, when ppl are like action doesn't sound like ghost...to me that makes no sense. Is he a exact clone? No...but sound like? Of course.

 

[Mally_G]

if you go to that Ghetto Mafia thread, and FF to 15:55 of the video, even they say if you sound like someone else or bite, you don't last long in the game. Originality is key to longevity.

I remember being in school and hearing that Biggie had a gospel album. Kats blew that shit off, but it turned out that a few years later, when said gospel album dropped, B.B. Jay, a gospel rapper, sounded exactly like BIG from cadence to flow. I scooped the CD up from BMG for 1cent and I'll be damned if dude didn't sound exactly like BIG. He even had an ear for beats, which made it even more listenable. I guess someone was in the studio and dropped a dime in the street that someone sounding like BIG was doing positive music, so be on the look out.

these new rappers be taking styles from OGs and sweeping them under the rug, never paying homage, and making them seem non-existent. then they get mad and defensive when they get called on that shit, wanna call a G old, irrelevant, other bullshit, to keep eating off another mans style.

it all boils down to disrespect. they say the OG doesn't respect them, when it's the other way around, it's the new G that's being disrespectful by ignoring their history and roots.

 

[teammedia]

safe to say......he's mad

ghose really got at bronson

 

[supergangster]

I wanted to summarize all of this. Ghost is not in his fucking prime now we all know . But action is still not better than what Ghost is now at this age . Action was only embarrassing to say this kind of stupid thing . I'm glad Papa Wu made Action leave Sean Price wake when I think about it . Even the video that Ghostface did was crazy fun and it's already a fucking classic.
