Starting point is 00:00:03 Now, I have to look up Ghost Face Killers age because what in the world? This man rapping like he 82. He was born in 1970. All right, that explains everything. So anyways, getting back into the segment, not editing that out. We're going to keep that in there. So No Face by Ghost Face Killer and Kanye West is very interesting as the track is titled No Face. Now, you may be wondering to yourself, why in the world are you covering?
Starting point is 00:00:35 a ghost face killer verse. Well, I'm not going to lie to you. I don't know how. I don't know when and I don't know why. But everybody has been tuning back into the track, No Face by Ghost Face and Kanye West. I don't know it's because of the verses delivered by Kanye West. I don't know if it's because of the verses delivered by Ghostface.
Starting point is 00:00:58 But last I checked, Kanye West was on some other stuff when he rapping. So he's not even trying to hide it anymore as far as what he wants to do. do in society, right? So that can be the reason. I've been wondering, trying to wrap my brain around why Ghost Face Killer is having such success with the no face track. And it's not hate. It's just more of wanting to know why. Simply why is the question when it comes to how in the world is this track popular. So I found it. Basically, when it comes to performing and going on tour and be in front of a live audience. I feel like it helps your fan base connect with you in a way that will support your music even more.
Starting point is 00:01:52 I'm not saying that it's weird to support an artist solely off of his ability to perform in real life. But when it comes to Ghostface, obviously people would say that he's pretty talented, right? I mean, if people really look at a ghost face killer as an artist, as a musician, you would say that the way he puts words together is definitely superior to most. So when it comes to overall sales and statistics, that's not always the case as far as your superior talent matching your overall sales. Because like Jay-Z once said, I totally forgot what he said. What was the common sense line?
Starting point is 00:02:36 Let me see. Now we got type it in because I totally forgot. Rap like common sense. Yeah, I know where I'm going if you're a Jay-Z fan. I don't know why I forgot it. I think it was moment of clarity. Yeah, it was moment of clarity. Off my favorite album, that's funny.
Starting point is 00:02:55 I don't even know why I couldn't think of the name. But off a moment of clarity off the black album. And basically he said, If skills sold, truth be told, I'd be told. I'd probably be lyrically to live Quali truthfully
Starting point is 00:03:13 I want to rhyme like common sense but I did five mil I ain't been rhyming like common sense and people get on Drake for why he raps the way he does anyways that's why I wanted to tailor it back to this discussion because if you really think about it
Starting point is 00:03:29 it's pertinent to the situation because the way you're able to rap in the quality level isn't always reflective in the sales. So that's why I wanted to figure out why the no face track by Ghostface and Kanye was gaining so much traction.
Starting point is 00:03:49 And now I figured it out. It's because people who see live performances will get attached to the point they start supporting your music a little bit more. Whether that's Kanye West, whether that's Ghostface Killer, that's just the case in general. So that is why I believe this track
Starting point is 00:04:11 is so successful when it comes to the daily charts, the daily global charts on Spotify. So that being said, click my link to you in my bio. Let me know one of my social medias. What do you think about my scientific breakdown of the track No Faced by Ghostface, Kila and Kanye West?
