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 sophisticated relationship along 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. “How you in a Mack truck, but forget you a father..is it me?/Am I not your cup of tea?/Are my pants not low, like your self-esteem?/Do I need to f##k a b#### just so you could 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 aspect the place he says, “You told me to man-up when I wear makeup, can you love me now?” Powerful.

The lyrics underscore a wrestle 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. Let us not fake 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 thing.”

For Ghostface, a Wu-Tang Clan icon, his son’s phrases sound like a direct problem. I’m questioning if this may 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 love me now” is common. I ponder the way it will land with Ghostface who simply dropped one other album?

Whether 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. Turn a private wrestle into a private flashpoint, as a result of it might by no means be a cultural one.
