The coveted aura of celebrity that wins you access to the V.I.P. room…but also an hommage to the talismanic power of the Chuck Taylor star, which Wizzie has helpfully indicated here:

It is also the name of his mix tape in which this song debuted.

Ghost describes a scene in which he meets a bunch of rich girls who do too much coke. It starts with a flashback, a sense of deja-vu: Yet again, Ghost is balling it up in the club, surrounded by gorgeous coke fiends with painfully delicate features

Ghost understands exactly why they are hanging out — he’s got all the yayo. But while he’s repulsed by their dependency, he’s also powerless to control his own desire

By the end of the song, all he can think about is how to protect the girls, help them turn their miserable lives around…and how to quit coke himself!

A playful way to say that he, whose nickname is Pretty Toney, came with the “Montana” (cocaine), and wants to have a good time.

This is also a Scarface reference (Pacino’s character is Tony Montana)

Español for Supreme Clientele, which is arguably Ghostface Killah’s best album. Released in 2000, 4 years after Ironman, his solo debut, it sold 700,000 copies at a time when other Wu Tang artists – remember U-God? – were churning out tripe

This was the album that prompted Freddie Foxx’s famous line: “I'mma save hip hop like Ghost saved the Wu”.

Apparently, when yayo is involved, Ghostface’s favorite rapper is…Ghostface

Ghost was born on May 9, 1970, which means he will be turning 40 next year. He’s the second youngest member of the Wu, after Method Man. (Inspectah Deck was also born in 1970, but the exact date of his birth is unclear cf. “this style has no origins or birth date”)
