Happy Birthday Ghostface Killah!


Today we celebrate the birthday of one of Shaolin's finest MCs, Dennis Coles, aka Ghostface Killah, who was born on May 9, 1970. The Staten Island-born MC is one of the original nine members of the Wu-Tang Clan. He took the inspiration for his alias from Ghost Face Killer, the villain in the 1979 kung-fu classic Mystery of Chessboxing. (Yes, the same film that inspired the title of the Wu-Tang song “Da Mystery of Chessboxin.”) And as seen in the iconic video, staying true to his name, Ghostface initially kept his face obscured.

Ghost also holds the distinction of rapping the first verse on the first song on Wu-Tang’s legendary 1993 debut album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). But it was his appearance as the “guest star” on Raekwon’s incredible 1995 solo debut, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx..., that really established Ghost as a lyrical force.

His solo debut, Ironman, arrived a year later. Inspired by another GFK alias—Tony Starks—Ironman showcased Ghost’s storytelling and paired him with Rae and Cappadonna for another early Wu classic. His sophomore album, Supreme Clientele, arrived in 2000. 
In his 2004 book The Wu-Tang Manual, RZA described Ghost’s verse on Wu-Tang Forever’s “Impossible” as “the greatest Wu-Tang verse ever written." Nearly 32 bars long, Ghost’s “Impossible” verse detailed the shooting death of his friend Jamie, from when the ambulance was called to when he was “pronounced dead, y'all, at 12:10.”

Ghostface has released ten solo albums over the years. His most recent project was 2015’s Twelve Reasons to Die II, a collaboration with Adrian Younge. 

Happy Birthday, Pretty Toney. May all your product be fishscale and all your wallets bulletproof for years to come.

Steve Rifkind on Dropping Raekwon's Cuban Linx and Throwing Chair at Lawyer for Wu-Tang

Famed music executive Steve Rifkind spoke about his massive success with Wu-Tang during an exclusive interview with VladTV, as he explained they were the first group to get him his first big check. Afterward, Steve said he renegotiated his deal with RCA and signed Big Pun.

When asked about signing Pun, Steve revealed that he didn't hear the late rapper perform in person, and he signed him off of a freestyle. It was during this time that "Still Not a Player" came out, and Steve told DJ Vlad that the track and video were finished within 48 hours of him hearing the song.



SRC and Loud Records founder Steve Rifkind was behind some seminal acts of hip-hop's "Golden Age." Here, Steve reflects on his experience with Wu-Tang Clan and Mobb Deep. He takes Vlad through the stages of Wu-Tang's early success, starting with the songs "M.E.T.H.O.D. Man" and "Protect Ya Neck," to the fracturing of the group into solo acts. Steve also talks about the phenomenon of Mobb Deep's "Shook Ones, pt. 2."

Steve Rifkind on Signing Wu-Tang, Only Label That Let Members Get Solo Deals

Legendary music executive Steve Rifkind spoke openly about starting Loud Records by signing Twista, followed by Madcap. He revealed that Twista only had two songs out when he signed him, but Rifkind explained that he thought Twista was a cool, young artist who could spit.

After having success with Tha Alkaholiks' debut, Steve went to a new level after signing Wu-Tang following a chance meeting with RZA at RCA. While many labels wanted to sign Wu-Tang at the time, Rifkind explained that he hooked them by allowing the members to sign their solo deals outside of the group deal.
