Ghostface Killah is universally acclaimed for the descriptive storytelling in his rhymes, but the rap veteran passed on rapping to tell one of his most memorable stories to date. During his recent Drink Champs episode with Raekwon, the Wu-Tang member revealed that he was involved in a shoot-out while riding with legendary soul group, The Delfonics.
The Ironman rapper recalled going through a dark time around the release of his debut album. While the album is a fan-favorite, Ghostface talked about enjoying that album less due to the rough time in his life. While describing that period in his life, he explained how a road rage incident turned into a shoot-out despite having The Delfonics around him.
"It was dark for me...this some funny s*** -- I got The Delfonics in a shoot-out on Staten Island," Ghostface said. "They in a shoot-out with me...The Delfonics. The n***** in a shoot-out with me. Got them n***** in a 15-passenger. I'm blowing at this kid, this kid playing games -- I start shooting at this n****, these n***** in the back of me in the f****** van."
Ghostface remembered feeling bad for getting the group into a potentially deadly situation. Once he arrived at the studio with the group, he apologized to The Delfonics before the group lightheartedly joked about remembering to bring their knife. The Delfonics would later end up collaborating on Ghostface's Ironman track, "After the Smoke Is Clear."
