Tue Nov 3
9 pm,
Ghostface Killah, Fashawn, F. Stokes, DJ Vinnie Toma, and Skyzoo at Barrymore Theatre
When you become a man, you put away childish things—and when you’re Ghostface Killah, that means not rapping about guns, coke, and running from the cops anymore. On his new Ghostdini: The Wizard Of Poetry In Emerald City, the man who’s occasionally known as Pretty Toney lets his loverman side shine for an entire album, proving that past come-ons like “Camay” and “Beauty Jackson” weren’t the only chinks in his tough-guy armor. Fortunately, Ghostface isn’t pulling a Kanye here: The hooks come solely from R&B singers like John Legend, while Ghost sticks to using his unparalleled storytelling skills to set the mood—and occasionally destroy it, as when he squares off in a suspenseful love triangle with Fabolous in “Guest House.” For a chance to win a pair of tickets to this show, email rsvpmadison@avclub.com with "Ghostface Killah" in the subject line.
