Ghostface Killah Recalls Meeting MF DOOM, Promises DOOMSTARKS LP Is On The Way
Tony
Starks says the ball is in the metal-faced villain "s corner to wrap the album.
Ghostface Killah has worked together with MF DOOM over the past few years,
most recently releasing a limited edition "Victory Laps" cassette
single as a prelude to their DOOMSTARKS LP. Speaking with Much Music, Tony
Starks said that the album is still in the works despite broken promises of
impending release, and that he "s waiting to connect with the metal-faced villain.
"As far as the album, we did a lot of songs. He got a lot of songs for
me. I’m still waiting for him to send me more songs," he said.
"I tell him the people want the album. Everywhere I go, they want it.
But the ball’s in his corner. I’m just waiting on him, because
I’ve been pressing the issue. But he said, we gon’ get together,
whatever the case may be. But it’s going to happen, because we got a
lot of records."
He also recalled meeting DOOM for the first time. While on tour with Linkin
Park and Snoop Dogg as part of the Projekt Revolution tour, the Wu-Tang Clan
member came upon a beat CD from Metal Fingers and went on a hunt to find him.
"You know, everybody give me CDs, I play ‘em. But I just said
I didn’t know who Metal Fingers was. But I knew he had beats on there
that was up my alley, so I had my manager just look and we just hunt, hunt,
hunt. And we found him, and it was MF DOOM," he said. "And we got
connected, he came through the studio and from right there, we started building.
He was a good dude, smart dude. We came from the same school, same cloth.
So it was easy to be connected like that. So he did some beats on Fishscale
for me, and everything’s just been history."
