Ghostface Killah joined Cipha Sounds and Peter Rosenberg on the Juan Ep Is Life Podcast to discuss his career and latest album, Set The Tone (Guns & Roses). Rosenberg praised the album, saying, “Thank you for never putting me in a situation where I have to interview one of my heroes and pretend that their album is good.”
Ghostface shared insights into working with Kanye West on the song “No Face,” which features a sample of his chorus from “New God Flow.1.” He called the beat “inescapable” and praised Kanye’s collaborative genius.
Reflecting on his discography, Ghostface admitted he was dissatisfied with Ironman, citing a rushed two-month production process. “Coming off Cuban Linx and going into Ironman, it was down for me,” he said.
The group also discussed the artistic impact of “Nutmeg” from Supreme Clientele, with Cipha Sounds calling it “more than rap” and “art.” The conversation ended with Ghostface reflecting on his Hip Hop 50 performance at Yankee Stadium, inspired by a memorable Biz Markie set.
