In the words of Zilla, Ghost is locked in. Spend 15 minutes getting excited over a new Ghostface project like it’s 2000 again. Goodie Mobb cameos, Wu tattoos, and upcoming projects. Starks is the only dude worth sitting through a Tim Westwood video for. Other video after the jump. Download: MP3: Ghostface Killah ft. Raekwon, […]
