Imitation is the ultimate complement neither side should be salty

[@kakonis]

You wanna know why sometimes Action doesn't sound like Ghost on some tracks and then does on others? It's because some producers (starting with RZA) engineered the mix so Ghost's voice doesn't sound quite so high-pitched, while others leave his voice alone because they like it a little higher. Listen to Ghost on something like 36 Chambers/Czarface features, and then compare that to something off Pretty Toney. You'll see what I'm talking about.

[@dylanjordan4747]

That was a crazy situation with Poppa Wu and Action Bronson at Sean Price's (R.I.P) funeral. But if you listen to "Meteor Hammer" with Ghostface Killah, Action Bronson, and Termanology, Ghost sound's different in his voice than what he used to sound like and Bronson was probably influenced by Ghost in his rap style in that song but I can't hear the comparison of how AB sound's like Ghostface Killah now...maybe when Ghost was younger. If anything the one person who is a dead on in voice comparison is Your Old Droog because he sound's just like Nas and The Game.

[@tomsokoli]

[@letsgotomarsman]

Ghost is a lot older than action, of course he probably was inspired by an artist from where he is from. A lot of people from Houston sound similar, atl, Florida ect. There are some outliers but for the most part you sounded like where your from. And why would it be bad to sound like one of the top people in hip hop ever. I don’t think he Attentionally try to steal a flow or style but just crafted it into his own if you think he did anything at all. At least he’s not a corny white boy rapper that needs to rap 100X fast to be notice, he seems the respect the culture and want to be part of the art form not the political / sell out side

[@Chrisgotkicks28]

Ghost face is actually chuck on the phone ....and you know that’s right
