A Ghostface is Born

2004_06_music_ghostface.bmp The once mighty Wu-Tang Clan are, sadly, all starting to go their separate ways. RZA is now off scoring movies – like Tarantino’s Kill Bill – and, with cohort GZA, busy making cameo appearances with Bill Murray ("Bill Murray!") in Jim Jarmusch movies and on segments of Chappelle’s Show. Method Man can currently be seen on the silver screen - and alongside Tom Arnold - in Soul Plane and the small screen in Fox’s Method & Red. (The latter show will probably be canceled after a few episodes. Isn’t that Fox’s standard procedure with sitcoms these days?) Ol’ Dirty Bastard is out of jail and on Jay-Z’s Roc-A-Fella label. Ghostface Killah, meanwhile – now just innocently known as Ghostface, probably to appeal to the kids – continues to forge on and actually make music. He’ll bring his powerful MC skillz – Chicagoist hereby promises to never write that word again – to the House of Blues tonight. Tickets are $22.
