Rhapsody Song of the Day

Song: Ghostface X-Mas
Album: Ghostdeini the Great
Artist: Ghostface Killah
Selected by: Sam Chennault

Ghostface tries to play it fairly straight on this Christmas song -- he samples “Carol of the Bells,” doesn’t curse and refrains from the bloody street vignettes that have characterized the latter half of his career. Still, Ghost can’t help but be Ghost and Wu’s finest sounds downright frantic as he tells Ms. Claus, “Holy Jesus, I gotta drop all these toys off” and then demands that the children be “good for ol’ Ghost’s sake.”
