Not content with continuing to push the envelope of lyrical slaughter (check J-Love’s “Come On” – aka the remix to Cormega’s “Tony/Montana” – for proof), Tony Starks has also become quite the weed owner in recent times. While Cappadonna provided full-time weed carrying duties thoughout the Ironman album, it wasn’t long before Ghostface realized that this was a task for more than one holder. So began the formation of the Theodore Unit.
Despite being awarded the dubious honour of one of XXL mag’s most hated crew names, Theodore Unit contains all of the ingredients of the perfect weed carrying squad. Trife provides the required skill quotient, Cappa is the link to the past and Shawn Wiggs is the all-important token “amazin’ Caucasian”. There are also some other guys such as Solomon Childs to make up the numbers for this well-rounded stasher set. As a bonus, Ghost even threw a couple of dope songs like “Gorilla Hood” on their album, which is a step-up from Biggie’s guest shots on Junior MAFIA’s debut.
I also dug-up an old tape with a radio interview with Ghost from 1996.
