Emergency Filler, Alternatively Titled "Emergency Ghostface Fillah"

I've said it before and now I'm saying it again: Ghostface Killah gives ridiculous interviews.  Here's one where he tells the (NSFW) story about the time he got in a shootout with the Delfonics (they were in the van with him, he wasn't shooting at them).



Here are some links to provide further context.

That blew my mind this time, didn't it?

I see what you did there. You trying to make a fool of me?

zman said...

This looks like a great way to get into a fiery car crash.

I want that van, without the fiery crash part.

Zman, I thought you were linking to this: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1977-dodge-tradesman-200-4/

Someone had a lot of money burning a hole in their pocket. $40K?

Ghostface Killah appears very high, not unlike the time I saw him live in concert.

fucking terrible news

Marls said...

Ugh. Brutal.

Whitney said...

Lots of pain associated with this one, boys. I never met anyone quite like Johnny, and I doubt I ever will. Cheers, Redeye.

Squeaky said...

Loss of words over here. Just a sad day. Great person and will be sorely missed. My tribute will start at 4:20 today. Smoke'em if you got'em.

Donna said...

I’m so sorry y’all. He always lit up a room! Was this expected? Regardless, a real loss —too young, too soon.

rootsminer said...

Johnny is one of the most indelible characters I've ever met. He'd have been magic on a sitcom.

Saturday at this year's OBFT, after most everyone had turned in, his favorite episode of Friends came on the TV. I'm not big on that show, but stuck it out to hang out with Johnny a little longer. I'm glad I did.

Danimal said...

Very sorry to hear this guys. A big loss.

Whitney said...

Rootsy, any recollection of which episode?

rootsminer said...

The one where Ross reveals having accidentally recorded the interaction with Rachel that got her pregnant. Johnny was a huge fan of Anniston in a business suit.

Dave said...

i'm going to miss that guy.
