yea, very much so. i like the powerful ability hiphop can have to make you feel raw emotion. listen to "the 4th branch" by immortal technique and you cant help but get immersed into what he's saying, and thats why ive kept my mind open to all kinds of music. i can put korn and pantera on a pedestal and give them both props for different reasons (while some guitarists may not like me for doing so). but yea, back to the point. i love ghostface. the connection is there. thanks for the feedback.
