  Ghostface Killah - Music Downloads - Online
Ghostface Killah had rapped on Wu-Tang's 1993 debut, Enter the Wu-Tang, but he didn't distinguish himself until 1995, when he was showcased on fellow Wu member Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx.
Ghostface received good reviews for his appearance on the record, and his contribution to the soundtracks for Sunset Park and Don't Be a Menace to South Central While You're Drinking Your Juice in the Hood also were well-received.
Work with the Wu-Tang and their various members kept Ghostface Killah busy until solo singles started appearing at the end of 1999 followed by his sophomore full-length, Supreme Clientele, in early 2000.

Wu-Tang Clan’s resident space-age wordsmith, Ghostface Killah (a/k/a Ironman, a/k/a Tony Starks), closes out his contract with Epic by dropping a best-of compilation (in anticipation of a Def Jam debut due later this year).
What’s most intriguing about Ghostface is the many personas he’s taken in his 10 years and running with the Wu-Tang.
Half the fun of a Ghostface rap is in code-cracking his often outrageous vernacular — 1998’s Supreme Clientele found him delivering dense salvos of Wu-Tang street slang as he bobbed and wove his way through the RZA’s stoned, oft-kilter beats.

 IGN: Ghostface Killah
August 12, 2005 - Born Dennis Coles, Ghostface Killah began his career with a seemingly indefatigable series of lacerating verses on both Wu-Tang Clan's historic debut Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) and on Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, the first album released by his longtime partner-in-crime Raekwon the Chef.
But Ghostface's own solo debut, Ironman, heralded the arrival of a hip-hop savant - an artist who re-invented emceeing even as he offered some of the genre's most exhilarating verses - and announced that his was a talent that didn't require an ensemble in order to bolster its strength.
Ghostface: The reason why I hold onto samples is because that's me. That's what made me. When I sample from old records, those records were in my heart when I was a little kid.

 Ghostface Killah: Fishscale - PopMatters Music Review
On the flip side, the least distinct was the one who referenced himself the most: Ghostface Killah.
Though filling his verse with images both brutal and askew, like “Nigga make moves like a baby crawl” and “I be housin’ the track; bob and weave”, he sounded married to the beat and marched through his lines with a stolid cadence.
For that I have to differ slightly from Elliott Wilson’s recent observation that Ghostface is “truly a soul baby”: now, he’s a true soul man.

 Ghost’s World: The New Yorker
Ghostface, who was born Dennis Coles, is one of the nine (or ten, depending whom you count) members of the Wu-Tang Clan, a hip-hop group from Staten Island that for the past fifteen years has been one of the genre’s most unpredictable and respected collectives.
The name Ghostface Killah, for instance, is derived from a 1979 movie called “The Mystery of Chess Boxing.” Not many hip-hop groups need a reader’s guide.
Ghostface Killah, though, has stuck to recording and has become the de-facto Wu-Tang standard-bearer.

 SPIN.com: Ghostface Killah / M.O.P.
Ghostface Killah and M.O.P. both emerged in the mid-'90s, during the same crime-rap renaissance that made icons of Nas, Biggie, and Mobb Deep.
But the Killah has produced little filler over the last decade, so this 12-track disc feels frustratingly cursory.
And given that many of Ghostface's finest songs (including bootleg favorites like "Good Times") have been lost to sample-clearance disputes, a Lost Tapes-style flushing of the vaults would have been handier.

 Review: Ghostface Killah's 'Supreme Clientele'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
As is with the curious case of Jay-Z, Ghostface Killah's new CD Supreme Clientele is replete with snippets of sound from so deep out of left field (and, to this white boy, so seemingly un-hip) that I find myself checking to see if I'm not really listening to They Might Be Giants.
That same track features Ghostface's sole attempt at traditional "singing." Most of the CD features typical rhyming (no better or worse than all the others, by the way) but on "Apollo Kids" there is a break where Ghostface pays homage to the late Notrious B.I.G. "We really love you so.
Ghostface aka Pretty Tony aka Tony Starks aka Ghostdini aka The Wally Champ aka Tone Tana aka Ironman, definitely made an urban soul/hip-hop classic with this one.
