Interview WIth Ghost.
Posted: Thu Jan 25, 2007 1:03 pm
Illest Lyrics: So, whats up Ghost, thanks for doing this interview.
Ghost: No problem man, thanx for havin me for this, its a great opportunity for me to get my name across the site/internet...
Illest Lyrics: no doubt, speaking of your name, what made you choose the name ghost?
Ghost: well it actually stems from livin in detroit, i went to a vocational school out there, and when they took my photo for my school ID it was kinda faded and light in color so my boi Black started callin me Ghost, and it jus stuck for me....It fits me Perfectly!
Illest Lyrics: oh, nice, when exactly was hip hop introduced to you..or became a part of your life
Ghost: I was about 14/15 when i stumbled across a hip-hop freestyle chat room on msn. and I started writin and formin rhymes wit structures, and now im here on the Illest of Ill Sites IllestLyrics.Com. But then i was jus writin rhymes, it wasnt until I moved to Detroit that I started freestylin and actually flowin my rhymes. Thats when i truely found out that rappin wasnt as easy as i sought it out to be
Illest Lyrics: Oh, yea man thanks for the props, in one word how would you describe yourself
Ghost: Individualized
Illest Lyrics: Good choice, so who or what influences you to write.
Ghost: Well, Of Course my first influence was Eminem, but listenin to Lloyd Banks, Fabo, Big Pun, Immortal Tech, Canibus amoung many others. But its the release of emotions thru words wit meanin and substance bein veiwed by my peers thats gets me...
Illest Lyrics: Pretty nice list of emcees, i see you mentioned eminem, what do you think about how eminem has paved the way and influenced many white rappers to start writing
Ghost: Well, in my own thoughts, Writin raps/poem/lyrics is a release of your inner demons. And can keep you sane, keep you from blowin up wit the shit that you bottle up inside. But when a "white rapper" becomes famous it gives us Pride and Hopes that we can do this as well...
Illest Lyrics:Nicely Put, Ok now as you know, illest lyrics has a little special game we like to play, we call it the name game, ill say an emcees name and you tell me what u think about that emcee
Ghost: fo sho
Illest Lyrics: complexity

Illest Lyrics: Hazard

Illest Lyrics:Domino

Illest Lyrics: i respect that, drunken jesus

Illest Lyrics:ok,enough of our game, so i see you're undefeated, who was your toughest challenge
Ghost: well im not to sure, i dont remember my 1st 2 battles, they were a long time ago, but every battle for me is a challenge, im not to much of a battler...
Illest Lyrics: oh, we're seeing the nice, calm side of you, is there a mean side or ghost, anyone you beefin with?
