end of this year. "They on top right now. They control the radio, it’s
bananas," Ghostface told AllHipHop.com.
Ghostface released
Ironman, Supreme Clientele and Bulletproof Wallets while
under contract to Epic. The three albums sold well and were well received by
critics and fans alike. "We not gonna change nothing. Going from Epic to
Def Jam is like going from the Padres to Yankees," he continued. Epic is
preparing to release a greatest hits compilation by Ghostface October 21, titled
The Wonderful World Of Wallabees.
"If you listen
him rhyme, he is one of the greatest," Lyor Cohen, Chairman of the Island
Def Jam Music Group told AllHipHop.com. "Our job is done if we can just
get people to realize just how great of a lyricist he really is."
Ghost said that
after his first album for Def Jam hits the stores, he will drop a compilation
of Starks Enterprise artists. The Stapleton Project will feature Supreme, Wigs
and Trife, amongst others. The compilation will hit stores sometime next year.
"Everybody knows what Def Jam capable of doing. We aint gonna change nothing."
