[edit] Association with Islam
Please take off all his Islamic stuff. Until somebody has documented proof that is Muslim it shouldn't go on his page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.57.14.221 (talk) 19:19, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] lyric quotes
Note: On "Ice Water" off of "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx..." Raekwon says "To top it all off, beef with WIFE" not "White" check the context of the song
[edit] Ghostface Killah v. Ghostface
This has been moved back and forth, and I stand by my opinion that it should be under just Ghostface. See this quote from his official bio, for instance:
- Who's gonna take the weight? In these days and times--the last days--for a multitude of reasons, this is the question at hand. And, if ever there was any doubt, the answer is, of course, none other than Ghostface (the artist formerly known as Ghostface Killah, or GFK, to friends). / http://www6.defjam.com/site/artist_bio.php?artist_id=485
I don't entirely oppose using Ghostface Killah in some places in the article though, since it's used at a few places on his official site (http://www6.defjam.com/site/artist_home.php?artist_id=485), but his name is Ghostface.
I'm not moving the page yet though, preventing an edit war. Please express your views here.

Cover of "Fishscale" indicates he's Ghostface Killah again. 219.89.23.13 21:54, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- Allright, I've changed my mind, I agree with keeping Killah.
Just move it to Dennis Coles. A lot simpler to use his real name. mad_cat_42 04:09, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
I second using Dennis Coles. 71.127.255.234 15:20, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Tony Stark/Iron Man References
The name of Iron Man is Tony Stark, not Starks. Which does Ghostface actually go by? Is he using the name wrong, or is the article wrong?
-
- Ghostface uses Starks
- he also uses "toney" instead of "tony"
- Ghostface uses Starks
Why does he use the name of this particular character anyway? Do they have something in common? Or is he just Killah's favorite comic book character?
- Yeah the second one,he's huge comic book fan.
Just a guess, but amybe it's becuse he used to wear that mask? Metal Mask -> Iron Mask -> Ironman? I think we should include some photos of him with the mask too. (Rishi B 14:00, 17 August 2006 (UTC))
He goes by Tony Starks, and I suppose it's just because Tony Stark aka Iron Man is a rich playboy, like Ghostface is or thinks he is.
[edit] Hmm
Ghostface is too fucking ill, he's my 2nd favorite Wu member (with Raekwon being 1st), and on my top 10 list. He played a big part in "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx..." which is top 5 for me, and also "Supreme Clientele" which is top 15.--Tainted Drifter 08:05, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] references
There should be references for the statements in the rivalry section Vickfan 03:14, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Raekwons voice on supreme clientele
It was Raekwons voice on Supreme Clientele not Ghostace on the clyde smith skit. =) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.194.222.10 (talk) 11:52, 11 December 2006 (UTC).
[edit] 5% or sunni?
Look, I think it'd be awesome if Ghostface was Sunni, but is he? I find lots of articles stating it as fact, but have yet to find the source article. All lyrical evidence seems to suggest he's still 5% (except lost underwater) Does anyone have any information on this?
Big ups for putting up that link. That's really neat! I'ma check if he's added to "muslim rappers" and so forth.
[edit] This article should mention hating whites
Shouldn't there be some mention in this article about this artist's race hatred (of whites)? What do you think a 'Ghostface' is? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.198.202.79 (talk) 03:01, 30 November 2007 (UTC) Or am I not understanding something in "Ghostface Killah"? 71.198.202.79 05:48, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
The name ghostface killah is from a 1979 cult kung fu film "The Mystery of Chess Boxing". Alot of the members from wu-tang clan have names originating from this film. It isn't racist in any way at all
Yeah, that is perhaps the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. While we're at it, let's talk about how Eminem and Marilyn Manson are the same person! M & M=MM=Marilyn Manson! HOLY CRAP! I TOO CAN FIND HIDDEN MEANINGS IN NAMES WITHOUT DOING ANY RESEARCH —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.247.199.238 (talk) 08:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
