    Only a few years ago Hip Hop purists may have felt superior listening to hard core while their less enlightened companions snacked on commercial rap. As Shaolin research began to point out the overwhelming benefits of raw production, true hip hop enthusiasts started turning back to traditional styles. Wu-Tang in particular, has been shown to myriad beneficial effects, from warding off ignorance and poverty to reducing the risk of incarceration and death.

    Its so obvious when perb writes for ghost. A) its few and far between so easy to spot and b) perb has a certain vocabulary that only he uses.

    Agree that it's obvious (word choice, style, humor), and agree that there are only a handful of cases where Ghost took whole verses.
    However, I guess Perb had a bigger influence on Ghost around that time in terms of delivery and maybe individual lines/rhymes, and that's a lot harder to tell.
    But I think on the whole, one can tell pretty well who Ghost was hanging out with a lot at any given time (Perb, Trife, Wigs).

    Btw, I'm not at all criticizing Ghost for that. He's a larger than life artist who always adds his own unique personality to everything he spits.
    In fact, I respect him for taking inspiration from creative and talented people around him, and he always pushed them.

    Ghost is my favorite mc of all time. I rap myself and would love if someone wrote me a song honestly. Music is about cohesion and bringing new things out so i dont fault ghost at all.

    ghost wrote enough classic material by himself for me ever to care. Same reason i dont dislike drake for the same practice. What works works.

    i thjnk perb fd up doing what he did in the end because ghost gave perb a lane he could have builtnoff of. He didnt fo it and fd it up himself. Perb another one of my all time fav mcs.

    I hear you. Perb is one of my favs, too. But he was such a broken person, like Wu's version of a twisted genius. Brilliant, but tragic af, and probably bound to fuck up.

    Also 100% agree on Ghost 👍

    Nah Meth has made it known numerous times he writes his own shit. He even stated the label tried to hook him up with a GW but he didn't do it.

    Yeah, Method Man is an emcee's emcee, he would only ever spit shit that he wrote. Other people writing for Ghost is not a problem. Gza and Method Man wrote for Ol' Dirty Bastard on Dirty Version and Royal Flush wrote for him on A Son Unique.

    GZA & Meth are on record even being angry that he stole the verses, hahaha. You think he had help with N***A PLEASE? Like Buddha Monk & RZA helped him out with that one? Because I remember a video, which could have been staged, read that piece somewhere, where RZA was giving Dirty lyrics in the studio while recording for A Son Unique.
