Picking a single favorite artist is impossible but the name that's closest to my tongue when I get the question is most often Dennis Coles a.k.a. Ghostace Killah. Few artist is as incredible on all levels, and there's no denying that he's got one of the best catalouges in hip-hop; both with the Clan and as a solo artist. Every single one of those albums are true gems, and at least three of the solo joints are masterpieces. I also saw him perform a few years ago and it's still one of the best shows I've ever attended.
In late 2008 Def Jam released a compilation of previously released material called "GhostDeini The Great". The 16 track set was was a collection of tracks pulled from most of his LP:s up to that point, a long with a few remixes and two new songs ("Ghostface X-Mas"; "Slept On Tony"). The most interesting part for well aquainted GFK heads however came with a 30 minutes bonus DVD consisting of interview clips and live segments of Ghost and Theodore Unit performing favorites like "Run", "The Champ", "Be Easy", "Ice Cream" and "Biscuits". Thanks to super Wu fan FeLo we now have the opportunity to stream the entire DVD via an upload he made to his YouTube account, and this was real great to see (I don't own the album since I don't really buy compilations like that). Huge props and mad thanks to FeLo for this upload, it's truly a blessing! Also as an added bonus, I have uploaded the two exclusive original songs in Mp3 format for you below... Now go out and buy his real albums if you don't have them!
