Ghostface Killah vs. Action Bronson (Video)


Y'all know that Action Bronson has been compared to Ghostface Killah his whole career... And ya know what, it probably just got to the point where enough was enough and he spoke how he felt - in the moment. At first he tried to deflect it by saying that if he's going to be compared, at least it's to one of the greats, but he couldn't just leave it there, he then added in a more dismissive tone that, "[Ghostface is] not rapping like this no more." Pause the tape! It's well-documented, I'm as big a fan of Ghostface as anyone else, so I don't lack perspective here - the man does have a point! It's not to say Ghost CAN'T, but there have been a string of uninspired releases from Ghostface. Bronson - if nothing else - may have lit a fuse under Ghostface, and if the video that is the basis of this post is any indication, maybe we'll get back to vintage Ghostface, as he eloquently fuels this beef over Teddy Pendergrass' smooth "Be For Real" track. No one would dare doubt Ghostface's legacy; contributions to the culture, or his famed catalog, but with no signs of stopping, he has added some stretch-marks as of late. This beef will last a few days, provide some quick entertainment, and then fade into the infinite shelf space of the internet, but hopefully the video below remains forever and does inspire some great music! As Ghostface says, "I gave you a grace period... I was supposed to destroy you a long time ago!" Those ARE the rules. I suspect that Action Bronson will walk this one back as quickly as humanly possible, but again, the entertainment value makes this 100% worthy of bookmarking it here on the site for future laughs. Enjoy it below...
