The mashup works quite well.
There’s a bunch of them out there via Google. 🔍
@markchronic on IG. I bought this original from his gallery years ago.
Watch ya step, kid.

Normally not a fan of compilation LPs
But I'm a huge Wu head from way back (I can remember taking the ferry to Shaolin just to see the first Wu-Wear store)
and I don't think Ghost (nom de reality: Dennis Coles) or any of the others repping the W really get their just due as rhyme stylists.
Banger after BANGER on this record: "Run," "Biscuits," "Holla," "Be Easy," "Killa Lipstick" and esp "Back Like That" are among the best things any Wu-dude ever did solo. Master of the non-sequitur and a guy who pretty much pulls his own lingo out of thin air, I always thought RZA's deep-soul Jones was best realized on Ghost's tracks. Hip-hop GOLD and a good reminder of how the underground became the mainstream, over time.

The man responsible for dozens of Teenage Symphonies to God
"Sad songs about happy things" (the first time, as a kid, I can recall the sweet/sour combo of melodies that could make you cry attached to songs about endless, bottomless love)
I've long since lost track of how many weddings and funerals I've attended that have featured this song; suffice it to say, "a lot."
God only knows what we'd been without him 🙏🏻

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule
But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here:
https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/
The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s.
Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha).
For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️
