The Sun (featuring Raekwon, Slick Rick & The RZA)
Ghostface Killah
Bulletproof Wallets [Advance Album], 2001
This song is not one of those listen-to-it-25-times type of songs but it’s a work of art all the same. This song seems to be in decent circulation but I am pretty sure that it never actually came out; it didn’t make the final version of Bulletproof Wallets and it’s definitely not on any of his later major label albums.
It is exactly what the title would indicate: three great MCs rhyming very matter-of-factly about the sun and I think the only thing that will do it justice is a few choice quotes:
Ghost:
The sun kiss scrumptious, sun is nutritious
…
Yo, the sun could never be pussy, he always come out
He’ll sit right there, even if you pull your gun out
He can never run out, when the lights go out
It Japan’s turn now, the earth has spun around
…
The sky’s blue, cause the sun hit the water like bing!
A reflection (uh-huh) and that’s all it is (word)
You can’t stare at him long, cause your face’ll do like this
Raekwon:
Check out my nephew…
He always begging me to let him see you
I’m like “probably if you clean up, and read a little”
You make people eyes glow
You got the weather channel bugging and you stubborn when it snow
…
The way the world look when you around
Prisoners get out, look up, run at you and then kiss the ground
Slick Rick:
Isn’t it cool how it spreads joy, hons lay in it
And it’s hard to go back to work, when your lunch breaks finished
The delivery is also priceless especially the “sunnn!….sun sunnn!!” in the background at 1:29.
