Infinite Coles, son of Wu-Tang legend Ghostface Killah, calls out his father with emotional new lyrics about neglect, masculinity and unconditional love.
Infinite Coles Opens Up About Rocky Relationship With Ghostface Killah
Ghostface Killah’s son Infinite Coles is pulling again the curtain on his difficult relationship together with his father. The rapper has two newly launched songs, that make for an attention-grabbing combination. He’s dropped “SweetFaceKillah” and “Dad & I” to get his level throughout.
On the tracks, I.C. doesn’t draw back from naming the ache he feels. “The way you in a Mack truck, however neglect you a father..is it me?/Am I not your cup of tea?/Are my pants not low, like your vanity?/Do I have to f##okay a b#### simply so you may see,” he raps.
The distinction between Ghostface’s larger-than-life persona and his alleged absence within the function as a father appears to harm Infinite most. Then there’s the opposite facet the place he says, “You instructed me to man-up after I put on make-up, can you like me now?” Highly effective.
The lyrics underscore a battle that goes past one household. Infinite has been carving out his personal lane in music with a sound that bounces between R&B and various influences. He took to rapping, I suppose, to get his level throughout. Allow us to not faux that he has not been very open about his sexuality and his father. The old-school Hip-Hop world was predicated on toughness and really conventional masculinity. That was dominant and now, it appears, fluidity is extra “the factor.”
For Ghostface, a Wu-Tang Clan icon, his son’s phrases sound like a direct problem. I’m questioning if it will ever resolve itself, as a result of it looks like we get “an open letter to a father” yearly or so.
The plea “can you like me now” is common. I’m wondering the way it will land with Ghostface who simply dropped one other album?
Whether or not Ghostface responds publicly or not, Infinite Coles has made his assertion clear. I hope he can get previous this both method. If his dad by no means likes him or accepts him, he’s going to must determine that out. This has gone on for years. Flip a private battle into a private flashpoint, as a result of it might by no means be a cultural one.
