Ghostface Killah is concerned about the violence and bloodshed that continues to claim an astonishing number of Black lives every year.
During an appearance on the Toure Show that premiered on Friday (June 28), the New York MC talked about people belonging to historically marginalized groups and how important it is for them to honor their ancestors by working together rather than against each other.
“Pray for your grandmother and the one’s that passed away,” he said. “That prayer helps feed them, and people don’t even know that. Our ancestors, y’know, we’re like a[n] upset to them because we still out here doing the dumb shit, see what I’m saying?
“It’s like, ‘Yo, listen man — me and you came off the same boat, together.’ Hearing these fucking rappers, and I’ve been trying to tell them […] We was on the boat together, my n-gga, y’know what I mean, but we killing each other.”
He continued: “I never fucked your bitch, we ain’t never break bread with each other or nothing, n-gga, but it’s like I don’t bring the gun out the crib to kill Whitey or to kill the police, n-gga; I bring the gun out to kill you.”
Listen to the “All That I Got Is You” hitmaker talk about the current state of the Black community at the 40:08 mark below:
“I never seen that shit,” he said. “I never watched it. Never in my life. RZA know that because that’s not my story. You want a Ghostface story, you get a Ghostface story. You could take a piece of me — ‘Oh, he had two brothers with muscular dystrophy.’ I’m me. There’s a story behind myself.”
Ghost isn’t the only member of the group who hasn’t bothered watching about Wu-Tang: An American Saga. Last year, Method Man revealed that he wants to allow the show to take creative liberties without him taking it personally.
“So to see this come to fruition on screen, it was a no-brainer for me knowing how RZA works,” he told Kevin Hart during an episode of the latter’s Golden Minds podcast. “In the beginning, it was like, ‘Wow, they’re taking a lot of liberties here with the story.’ In hindsight, knowing how some of these things work, and embellishments and sometimes dudes still be having open cases and shit, so I could understand.
“I haven’t watched an episode, personally, but I get the scripts ahead of time. Everything ain’t for everybody — that’s all I could say.”
He added: “I did not want to mess with their process. These people get paid to do these things — I mean, you’re talking about Hulu and Imagine. Imagine, Brian Grazer. Sometimes you gotta step back and keep your opinions to yourself.”
