Ghostface Killah vs. Random Spam Text
Have you ever noticed the random text that comes in spam nowadays looks just like the lyric sheet for a Ghostface Killah record? Seriously, look at these lines and try to guess which ones are Ghostface rhymes, and which are taken from spam I got tonite (with commas added):
A) "coconut civilian, 87 lexicon"
B) "alfalfa archer, intense caramel breadwinner"
C) "photographic magic, funeral love"
D) "tyco nightglow, velvet pose"
E) "nice DNA, scroll genetics"
F) "desert athletic, champagne distributor"
4-2-04 EDIT: This quiz has now become and actual contest, like with prizes and stuff. Go here for details.

That's actually really screwed up. I would have been looking at these with that "something's strange here, but I'm not sure what" look on my face.

i think they're ALL ghost lyrics..

im guessing that "nice dna, scroll genetics" is a spam text?

Ghost is a true MC for the information age. In all serious though, he has the best album titles ever. I think he could make a very lucrative living by offering corporate and product naming/branding services.

I'm Guessin that C & E are the spam entries.
But this took wayyy too long to guess at..

I know D) tyco nightglow velvet pose is. sometime you just gotta overstand the slanguage. it's kinda simple to decipher. velvet pose= smooth, refined and and luxurious posture or stance, and it doesn't actually have to be physical. tyco nightglow= talkin bout the glow worm, what did the glow worm do, shine in the darkness, betta yet emit light throughout the darkness. it ain't that hard

"CNN, Desert Men, Supreme Order"

Okay... What are the answers... Got a nice lil office pool going..pride not cash since no one is quite sure.

Well, while you're at it, U-God's "Black Shampoo" is like one long spam for Bath & Body Works:
Massage, peppermint oil, shampoo and pears
Cinnamin, aloe, natural for your hair
So lather the soap, coconut conditioning
Honey lather, blood flowing, love glistening
Motion lotion, breeze, over the ocean
Lovers, bath crystals, lovers bun scrubbers
Hot milk bath, steam shower rubbing
These will splash long loving in your oven

I don't care what the answers are, they're all hilarious. Brilliant like a shot of John Stewart's colon.
Posted by: David at March 29, 2004 02:53 PM
Its funny that the only line that I'm sure comes from Ghost is the one everybody seems to be guessing is spam text.
And the legendary Ghost-dini is brilliant, by the way.

Straight off the top of my head I recognise C) and E) as being from 'Buck 50' and 'Mighty Healthy' respectively, but then they are my two favourite tracks from Supreme Clientele. I know D) is Ghost's as well, although I can't place the song. I'm guessing then that the other three are spam texts, for balance, but they could ALL be Tony's...

Frankly speaking, i am just not getting, where is this all going.....can anyone help?
Posted by: R at April 2, 2004 01:30 AM
it's funny when wu 1st came out i would skip right
over ghost now he has one of the most distinctive
takes on abstract lyricism. which makes me ask
which emcee started this trend?. i'm thinking it
was probably soulsonic force "planet rock". as far
as the ghost thing a,b,c,d sound like the wally
champ....and e,f sound spamish.
Posted by: scholarwiz6000 at April 2, 2004 02:31 AM
but i don't speak spamish.

Jay, you're famous! The new issue of Spin has a short article on your "Ghost or Spam?" blog musings. Respek.
Posted by: ian at May 19, 2004 06:05 PM
Awesome. Hopefully, it's only a matter of time before "Let's hunt and kill Avril Lavigne" gets some pub.
Posted by: Bol at May 19, 2004 07:47 PM
Because I moved, I get SPIN delivered late. Just peeped the write-up in June's ish. Now I can brag to all my West Coast homies about getting there before the hype.
Keep up the blogging and the radio shows-- I keep passin' the word out here. Jay Smooth, you're on point!

C and D are Ghost lyrics everything is spam.
Posted by: Jamal Leseane at May 29, 2004 03:03 PM
it's all Ghost. Either he's a genuis or he's lazy, it's poetry or garbage.
Posted by: Diego at May 29, 2004 08:44 PM
C AND D ARE GHOST LYRICS FO SHO

ghost is a part of the body that completes GOD. this one god or one part of the other eight gods really influenced my life & the way of seeing myself being born in the sun's reflection. wu-tang and pac is all that i really listen to. i know that there are other 70 babies out there but these true artists will always be legendary to me peace!

I am currently in the market for steel buildings. I have heard that the steel building industry can be deceptive. I ran across a company called Anthem Steel buildings. Anyone ever purchase a building from them?
If not, do you know any other steel buildings companies?
Thanks.
