White and blue blocks flyer3/19/2023 “I couldn’t come behind that, not feeling how I was feeling.” “I couldn’t write to those records,” Ghost told Billboard last year, referring to tracks his collaborators had prepared for him. And in the spring of ‘96, his best friend was arrested for a murder he did not commit. By the time he was diagnosed with diabetes, his drinking had gotten so bad that RZA was patching together disparate vocal takes to work around Ghost’s frequent slurring. Between Wu’s 1993 debut and the release of Cuban Linx, Ghost, then in his mid-20s, was losing weight and suffering headaches and blurred vision. But where that was a creative decision (Rae, Ghost, and RZA agreed that Ghost’s extended pickup attempt would seem more unnervingly intimate if left alone), these new ones were symptoms of a yawning depression. These absences had precedent on Wu-Tang records: Cuban Linx’s “Wisdom Body” is a solo Ghostface song. Yet once again, the headliner is nowhere to be found. Just two tracks later, on “Assassination Day,” RZA’s instrumental is taunting in its sparseness he, Rae, Inspectah Deck, and Masta Killa trade verses about stalking enemies “like prey” and the devil “poisoning the birth water,” the blurring of lines between literal and metaphysical, criminal codes and animal chaos that are tenets of Ghost’s writing. But when his verse ends (“All my Spanish niggas love us/We movin’ like Russia, bone crusher/At the flick, stick the usher”), Ghost is nowhere-the song is simply over. It’s the sort of pulp crime-meted out in bursts of improvised slang and girded by Five-Percenter moralism-that he and Ghost had perfected on Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, Rae’s monumental debut from one year prior.
