Tell me how you interpret this verse. I'm looking for honest responses:

You fourteen carat gold slum computer wizard
Tappin inside my rap vein causes blizzards
Do I like the kills for ice trife like botta digits
Gorillas injected with strength of eighty midgets
The Earth spins ruins rap exotic blends
Let my peeps in, niggaz gaspin swallowin aspirins
What a dosage, you overdosed in rap high explosives
My postage hypnotize with hypnosis
I sell goods, my whole Clan is on the run like natural born killers
Record-breaking the album Thriller
Now access the tear gas, bombs and rocket launchers
Float like dope killer bees is what I sponsor
Ya entrepeneur, pens and gear like shakespeare
When I fuck I grab hair, collect drawers as souveneirs
Fuck yeah, my crew down German beers
My career is based on guns, throwin cats in wheelchairs
Etcetera, damage any lame ass competitor
Who try to front, get broken and passed like leathers
Whatever hot hardheads get shattered like mirrors
Beretta shots splatter your goose, scatter ya feathers
Say never poetry chumps crumbs deal with graphic
Blew my family overseas in mansions
If rap was crack, fully packed I be tour cats
Tax the kingpin of the rap drug traffickin
Village niggaz get slapped in Manhattan
For rappin, big Ghost steps off laffin

I just want to see what people come up with. I doubt there is a central theme in the verse. Ghost tends to rap in stream of consciousness. I'd say it is a lot of metaphorical self promotion. But they might mean absolutely nothing.

I could post something that you would probably find more interesting.

He's trying to say that he is glad to be out of an oppressive era and his positive desires generally outweigh his spiraling sadness.

Me too. It's like verbal psychedelia, and his flow is great.

Here's another helping. From a track called "Wu Banga 101." I happen to think this is a good verse, and I think I have most of it figured out. You tell me:

Too advanced, Digi' stance, made the CD enhanced
I move with the speed and strength of ants
Identical in form with the Beez they swarm
Hold up the cold current appear warm
My first verbal brawl, started on some yes yes y'all
to the beat y'all, break your windshield, your jeep stall
Mr. Traffic, dumbin shit, from ecclesiastic
Cashier, holdin out, fine, cut off the plastic
See the logo? A monument in hip-hop
Carved out, in the giant landscape, of broken rocks
Whether heard in herb spots, jukebox or malt shops
Uncut live, drop eighty-five, in one shot
Spotlight hits the metal mic, majority stare
Heard the Wu snare, while my iris cut down the glare
Walk a road the great length you find too long to measure
My clan'll make me rhyme like D. Banner under pressure
No surprise, double disc touched five
Those elements, kept environments colonized
with the high flyin death-defyin flow like the Rebel
Right there, but you're one light year, from my level

Mowbs, what are Ghostface Killa's best solo albums? Also, which post Wu-Tang solo album is the best, not including Liquid Swords since I have it.

For Ghost, fo with Ironman and Supreme Clientele.

Do you have any other solo albums? If not, Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx is a classic.

Thanks, no I don't have any other solo albums, of course I've heard some Method Man albums, and Ol' Dirty Bastards, but these aren't my favorite wu tang members. I think I heard that one from Raekwon, I have to check the tracklist. I'm gonna buy those Ghostface albums.

Tical is pretty cool, but get Linx first.
