One Ratchet, Two Clubs, and a Mask
U-God, a.k.a. Baby Huey, a.ka. Mr. Xcitement, a.ka. the only member of Wu-Tang openly rocking the leather mask that Thora Birch/Enid sported in Ghost World. There is something unsavory about seeing the Clan in suits–like watching dogs play poker, and watching Degrassi High actors become the latest rap sensation. Oh wait.
Not sure what a trussle is. I imagine Mr. Portmanteau intended it to be a combination of a tiff, a tussle, and a truffle. Who doesn’t like Truffles? Who doesn’t like Ghostface? Who doesn’t like this song? I’m not holding my breath for Lamont Hawkins to drop a classic, but Dopium might be the best album title of the year.

I’m going to be honest. I don’t really like Ghostface. He’s my least favorite member of Wu-tang. I mean, dude’s talented, but his voice sounds like a fourteen year old boy about to cry. Also, what the hell was that song with Ne-yo?
I know… It’s blasphemy…

But do you like truffles?

Best verse on 8 Diagrams is from Ugod, opening up Wolves. For real.

Yo, in all honesty, U-God has always been the sauce to me. Whar the hell is he talking about. But he still had the second best verse on this song. Ghost murked him on his own shit.
Ghost’s lyrics on “walk around” >>> U-God’s whole catalog

Not so. The best verse on 8 Diagrams is Cappadonna on Campfire followed by Rae’s on Gun Will Go.

That is not U-God….looks like Islord from Killarmy.

I like the song….hasn’t sounded like this since his verse on “Black Jesus,” “Winter Warz” and “Investigative Report.”

Who doesn’t like truffles?

He just says “trussle” instead of “trestle”.

I think U-God is gonna surprise people in 2009.
Then again, I’m surprised that anyone could be in the Wu Tang for over a decade before manifesting any second-hand skills on a mic. Even Cappadonna tightened up quicker than U-God…but, it did finally happen and lately his verses have been…IMPECCABLE. Yeah I said it.
And LMFAO @ whoever said ghostface sounds like a 14 year old about to cry…that’s an awesome image that will stick with me forever now. Like MF Doom…a friend of mine once said “He sounds like he’s rapping in his room and he doesn’t want his mom to hear it.”
Ever since, every single time I heard Dan Dumille now, I think of that image. That said, damn, Ghostface is a very large and coked-out 14 year old.

i gotta admit, though: u-god KILLED “heaterz.” that was like his only good verse ever.
p.s. i’m not that big a fan of truffles.
