Ghostface Killah, Jarv, Nahte Renmus, e DJ Myth

Of all the members of the Wu-Tang Clan, Ghostface Killah has one of the most consistent records in terms of his solo output. Sure, you probably can’t quite put Ironman up there with GZA’s Liquid Swords or Raekwon’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx..., but then again, Ghost has yet to make anything quite as bad as, say, Immobilarity either. Instead, he’s turned out fine record after fine record, including recent efforts like Apollo Kids and the thematically-complex Twelve Reasons to Die. As usual, he’s found himself spending this summer on the road in Europe, having just played a slew of UK club shows. He passed up the opportunity to preview new cuts from the forthcoming Supreme Clientele 2: Blue & Cream LP - or indeed anything from Wu-Block 2, the second instalment in his collaboration with Sheek Louch, who was in attendance - but did run through the classics, including ‘Daytona 500’ and ‘Winter Warz’ from his own back catalogue as well as Wu classics ‘Protect Ya Neck’ and ‘Can It Be All So Simple’. He threw a few of his bandmates’ choice cuts in, too - GZA’s ‘4th Chamber’ included - and invited audience members to join him onstage to fill in for Method Man and ODB. He probably doesn’t deliver the slickest stage show in hip hop, but whether that’s necessary when a true legend is playing intimate venues is highly questionable anyway.
