Shouldn't Ghost's new album, 12 Reasons, be put under his Collaborations instead of Studio Albums? He collaborates with ONE producer for the album, Adrian Younge, so I believe thats where it should be placed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.228.145.233 ( talk) 13:11, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
The assertion that Ghostface Killah "hit it raw aplenty" and cited by source 7 ^ Ghostface & Prodigy "Trials Of Life", accessed on March 21, 2007 leads to a false link. This should be removed as it is clearly not true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.81.101.218 ( talk) 20:28, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
Note: On "Ice Water" off of "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx..." Raekwon says "To top it all off, beef with WIFE" not "White" check the context of the song
This has been moved back and forth, and I stand by my opinion that it should be under just Ghostface. See this quote from his official bio, for instance:
I don't entirely oppose using Ghostface Killah in some places in the article though, since it's used at a few places on his official site ( http://www6.defjam.com/site/artist_home.php?artist_id=485), but his name is Ghostface.
I'm not moving the page yet though, preventing an edit war. Please express your views here.

Cover of "Fishscale" indicates he's Ghostface Killah again. 219.89.23.13 21:54, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
Just move it to Dennis Coles. A lot simpler to use his real name. mad_cat_42 04:09, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
I second using Dennis Coles. 71.127.255.234 15:20, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
The name of Iron Man is Tony Stark, not Starks. Which does Ghostface actually go by? Is he using the name wrong, or is the article wrong?
Why does he use the name of this particular character anyway? Do they have something in common? Or is he just Killah's favorite comic book character?
Just a guess, but amybe it's becuse he used to wear that mask? Metal Mask -> Iron Mask -> Ironman? I think we should include some photos of him with the mask too. ( Rishi B 14:00, 17 August 2006 (UTC))
He goes by Tony Starks, and I suppose it's just because Tony Stark aka Iron Man is a rich playboy, like Ghostface is or thinks he is.
From an
Onion AV Club interview:
Tony Stark is rich and powerful. Ironman is encased in a protective suit of armor, and does battle in single combat. Not hard to see the appeal. -- Mrflip ( talk) 02:26, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
Ghostface is too fucking ill, he's my 2nd favorite Wu member (with Raekwon being 1st), and on my top 10 list. He played a big part in "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx..." which is top 5 for me, and also "Supreme Clientele" which is top 15.-- Tainted Drifter 08:05, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
There should be references for the statements in the rivalry section Vickfan 03:14, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
It was Raekwons voice on Supreme Clientele not Ghostace on the clyde smith skit. =) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.194.222.10 ( talk) 11:52, 11 December 2006 (UTC).
Look, I think it'd be awesome if Ghostface was Sunni, but is he? I find lots of articles stating it as fact, but have yet to find the source article. All lyrical evidence seems to suggest he's still 5% (except lost underwater) Does anyone have any information on this?
Big ups for putting up that link. That's really neat! I'ma check if he's added to "muslim rappers" and so forth.
Ghosface is a 5%, not a sunni. You can hear that through his lyrics. The 5% nation has nothing to do with the "mainstream Islam" or the sunni Islam or other tradional islamic persuasions, on the contrary, it contradicts them even. Elvis214 ( talk) 15:07, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
Shouldn't there be some mention in this article about this artist's race hatred (of whites)? What do you think a 'Ghostface' is? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.198.202.79 ( talk) 03:01, 30 November 2007 (UTC) Or am I not understanding something in "Ghostface Killah"? 71.198.202.79 05:48, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
The name ghostface killah is from a 1979 cult kung fu film "The Mystery of Chess Boxing". Alot of the members from wu-tang clan have names originating from this film. It isn't racist in any way at all
Yeah, that is perhaps the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. While we're at it, let's talk about how Eminem and Marilyn Manson are the same person! M & M=MM=Marilyn Manson! HOLY CRAP! I TOO CAN FIND HIDDEN MEANINGS IN NAMES WITHOUT DOING ANY RESEARCH —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.247.199.238 ( talk) 08:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
I noticed the aliases section had been pulled. Rap aliases are more than just nicknames or stage names: they are notable artistic choices. Ghostface has several developed personae he raps through, each with their own backstory. He is extensively credited and referenced by several of them (particularly Tony Starks). You can't tell a complete story about GFK without describing his experimentation with roles, fronts, names and personae. -- Mrflip ( talk) 02:33, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
I seem to remember that Ghostface Killah and Raekwon are half-brothers. I don't have a source to back this up, but, if true, I think it's an important bit of information, especially since the two of them collaborate very closely, and (in my opinion) have voices which are similar in some ways. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.249.213.41 ( talk) 22:56, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
contribs 05:20, 11 January 2009 (UTC) No, I've also read interviews with them stating that they are half-brothers. I'm not sure if they grew up in the same household together, but they share a mother. 196.215.50.173 ( talk) 21:42, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

I think the information about this album should be deleted. All sources saying about it are from 2011-13. Wu-Tang Clan members are known to announce a numbers of project, which are not released in years (sometimes never).

Hello, I moved three Ghostface Killah projects from artist studio solo albums to collaboration albums. Twelve Reasons to Die I&II are direct collaborations with American composer Adrian Younge and with narrations by RZA and co-star verses by Raekwon on part II. There have been interviews where Ghost states the concept and production was brought to him and he did not come up with the ideas for these albums. They are not his creation. He played one role on these albums and that was to come in after all the work was already done and play the main character. Other rappers were brought in to play other characters. Ghostface was chosen for these projects. He has made it clear several times these were not his ideas or pieces of work, they are not true solo albums by him. He makes it clear that Blue & Cream is his next solo album. I have seen tons of YouTube videos where he says this time and again. The correct titles are even billed as Adrian Younge presents Twelve Reasons to Die starring Ghostface Killah. The same is true for 36 Seasons, which is a collaboration with RZA's Soul Temple live band The Revelations, in which he again states in multiple interviews ( here's the one with Spin) that the production and script was brought to him and all he had to do was write his parts and record it. These are not his true solo albums and he did not create the projects. Supreme Clientele presents... Blue & Cream: The Wally Era is billed to be his tenth full studio solo album, following 2010's Apollo Kids. Wufan10304 ( talk) 21:36, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
