He's a very impressionistic artist, some of his stuff is just to sound nice, but he'll tell some very intricate stories that are obscured by his stream of consciousness style. Supreme Clientele is probably the album that best utilizes this method of writing. He even (kinda maybe) drops an allusion to the James Joyce short story "Two Gallants" on "Ghost Deini":

Never, impossible, pull out black burners like tonsils
Two Gallants, hitting if we got to

Good choices Goofle!

^Yeah, Ghost definitely can tell a story when he wants to. I think the best example is his verse on "Impossible", one of the best verses he ever did imo.

"Call an ambulance, Jamie been shot, word to Kimmy
Don't go Son, nigga you my mother****in heart
Stay still Son, don't move, just think about Keeba
She'll be three in January, your young God needs ya
The ambulance is taking too long
Everybody get the **** back, excuse me bitch, gimme your jack
One, seven one eight, nine one one, low battery, damn
Blood comin out his mouth, he bleedin badly
Nahhh Jamie, don't start that ****
Keep your head up, if you escape hell we gettin ****ed up
When we was eight, we went to Bat Day to see the Yanks
In Sixty-Nine, his father and mines, they robbed banks
He pointed to the charm on his neck
With his last bit of energy left, told me rock it with respect
I opened it, seen the God holdin his kids
Photogenic, tears just burst out my wig
Plus he dropped one, oh ****, here come his Old Earth
With no shoes on, screamin holdin her breasts with a gown on
She fell and then lightly touched his jaw, kissed him
Rubbed his hair, turned around the ambulance was there
Plus the blue coats, Officer Lough, took it as a joke
Weeks ago he strip-searched the God and gave him back his coke
Bitches yellin, Beenie Man swung on Helen
In the back of a cop car, Dirty Tasha are tellin
But suddenly a chill came through it was weird
Felt like my man, was cast out my heaven now we share
Laid on the stretcher, blood on his Wally's like ketchup
Deep like the full assassination with a sketch of it
It can't be, from Yohoo to Lee's
Second grade humped the teachers, about to leave
Finally this closed chapter, comes to an end
He was announced, pronounced dead, y'all, at twelve ten"

Haha list void, watch out we got a bad ass over here

Give the guy a chance, he's got some pretty great songs. I've always been into the 90s era hip hop artists I really can't listen to much of the new stuff today; Gambino is one of the few exceptions.

@soundgarden
Thank you kind sir

**Goofle** · 02-08-2013, 07:43 PM

Yeah, Gambino has that true boom bap style...
