The comparisons have been made time and time again that Queens upstart Action Bronson sounds eerily similar to Staten Island veteran and Wu-Tang Clan emcee Ghostface Killah. Now, in a recent interview with Fuse TV, Pretty Toney notes the sonic overlap between him and Bam-Bam Bronson.
Ghostdeini the Great started off by praising the Dr. Lecter emcee, commending his lyrical ability and unique style. He admitted that both he and Bronson do sound alike, but recognized the fact that their vocal similarities are purely accidental.
“Action Bronson – I heard some stuff from him, he’s dope,” Ghost said. “He don’t look like he sound. But he’s got lines – and me, I’m into lines…his vocals sound like my vocals, but he’s not doing it on purpose. He’s cool, though, he’s mad, mad cool.”
Ghost and D-Block emcee Sheek Louch went on to speak on their upcoming joint album between their respective crews Wu-Block. Both emcees explained that the album is hard-nosed throwback to the older generation of Hip Hop – or as Sheek put it, “no skinny jeans [shit].”
“I know [Ghost] hates when I say it, but me, Jada and Styles been…fans of these brothers for a long time, their whole team and they’re still relevant and popping out there,” he said. “It was like, ‘Yo, we really gotta do something together on some real Hip Hop right now.’ The songs that we got together in the studio are ridiculous. I mean, we all went in, our partners went in, it’s crazy man. I think the streets are gonna love it. We tell everybody every night on stage, ‘This is no skinny jean [shit].”
Ghost added, “It’s homemade, yo. It’s one of those albums where it’s like, ‘This what’s been missing.’ When we heard it for the first time all the way down, I was happy – and I don’t really get to say that too much about making projects and stuff like that, but I was really, really happy. There’s nothing out there that’s like it.”

Put the fuckin album out already
BRONSTEIN IS A BRAIN DAMAGED ALBANIAN JEW, FUCK A ‘BAM BAM’
Really anticipating this….
but i’m with Hacksaw, if I keep hearing about it and not hearing IT, I’ll lose my sh*t!
WAIT. DID YA’ll JUST CLAIM BRONSON IS “UNIQUE”?? AND GHOST… TSK TSK TSK. YOU KNOW THAT NIGGAS VOICE, FLOW, DELIVERY, VOCAB IS JUST LIKE YOURS… WHY YOU FRONTIN GOD? YOU KNOW THAT NIGGA IS A SHARK NIGGA (BITERZ) FOR REAL!! LOST ALOT OF RESPECT FOR GHOST ON THIS ONE, SON RUNNING WITH YOUR STYLE, AND YOU SITTING BACK PRAISING. THE WU IS LOSING IT’S LUSTER. REBEL INS, U-GOD, BRONZE NAZARETH, TIMBO KING ARE THE ONLY NIGGAS REPPIN, GHOST SOLD HIMSELF OUT.
LoL @ lost respect. He ain’t worried about Action Bronson, why are you? They already BEEN on a track together. And shame on you for leaving out Rae and “Unexpected Victory”.
WTF??? You must not listen to lyrics cuz the hilarious topics Bronson covers is definitely unique…HE hardly sounds like ghostface the more you listen to him. Bronson sounds like Ghostface like DMX sounded like Onyx when he dropped…..similar approach but COMPLETELY different styles
he needs to switch up flow and delivery, cuz son is a ghost clone.
White dudes defending their champions is funny as hell. Ghost know that nigga jacked him, he just making industry money and don’t wanna fuck that up. But dude right, ghost and rae sold the fuck out.
@Jay you really think action bronson is funny?? wiggas smh
Hip Hop dx tryna sell us the idea that Action Bronson’s vocals are “accidentally Similar”
I got ears. that niggas whole style is ghostface’s.
If Ghost is cool with him, i hope he tell him to change his shit up. that is no accident DX, Bronson is biting Ghost’s style.
….
i saw an interview with bronson and his rap voice sounds like his actual voice.. he’s not tryna sound like ghost he just sounds like ghost
son, he FLOWS like Ghost. he uses the same vocab. His delivery IS LIKE GHOST. fuck outta here tryna mislead people. Bottom line is: he prolly rapped criminology, thought ‘wow, i sound like ghost’ or had others telling him, and he rode that train. #FRAUD
NO SKINNY JEAN SHIT!!! WU-BLOCK 4EVA NIGGAS..STEP YA BARS UP!
This album will sell more than a Pusha T solo album.
yea cause the pusha t solo album will never come out
one dude in here posting 8 times about how he doesnt like action bronson..we get it, go to sleep..i only heard a few tracks from him and i agree that he sounds like ghost, but his subject matter is way different..he’s straight.. btw ghost is the greatest of all time..watch your mouth with that ‘sold out’ shit u fuckin disloyal ass emotional ass bitch
ThIS “dynamic duo” will scan exactly 11 albums….nobody’s checking for either one of these guys individually, so why would they as a group…..Stop it N.Y……..
shut yo god damn phony ass mouth sucker
take it ur a meek mill fan?
No Cuban Links, heavy ass Medusa heads, dope ass eagles, or Jesus pieces, these niggas look terrible…..
the eagle was ugly as fuck tho
It was mind blowing awesome. Unique as fuck. The fuc you talkin bout b?
Fuck sales, I am not waiting for these popstars, give me that WU Block
with the “no skinny jean shit” you’re kinda alienating potential consumers, we get it, guys are in your early 50’s and have a core audience, but you have to appeal to SOME younger heads to remain relevant…..
Sounds like a fag-jean wearer to me!!!
Right, because ya’ll so sensitive.
Nobody in the Wu or Block is close to 50. Where the f did you get your intel?
them niggas ain’t got no money B…..
them niggas ain’t got no money B….
Action sounds like Ghost minus soul! Bazaro Ghostface azz him. GFK says eye dont want nobody sounding like me on no album. Cuz umma approach a…get ya own ish and be original.
yeah he means by jacking lines and styles. Action Bronson cant help it cause thats his voice dick rider!
he can fucking help it– he’s taking fuck knows how many drugs (steroids, weed ++++) to change himself physically, why not the voice too?
obese sack of shit for white people music
i dont understand why most people who come onto this website hate on Action Bronson. lyrically that dudes up there with the best at this moment in time. he aint jack shit off Ghostface. you cant imitate a dude like Ghostface cause dude be real! different approach to the lyrical content by both dudes so fuck what everyone says!
BULLSHIT!! Quote me ONE substantive, creative Bronstein verse…
ONE.
Cant wait wait for this album. IT WILL BE FLAMES
NOT 4 THE SKINNY JEAN NIGGA’S. LOL CLASSIC
this album can’t drop soon enough, wanna see a tracklist and production credits, its gonna B a Flamer, ghost droppin another album in nov too, work gettin put in
GHOSTFACE’S SON IS A FLAMER!!!
GHOST WON’T ALIENATE WHITE BY SAYING BRONSTEIN IS FUGAZY BUT EVERYONE WITH TWO EARS UNBLOCKED BY FAT CELLS AND WEED SMOKE KNOWS BRONSTEIN IS STRAIGHT DOGSHIT…
WOEFUL FAT FUCK HAS RELEASED HUNDREDS OF VERSES, NONE OF WHICH HAVE THE DRAMA, POETRY OR WEIRDNESS OF GHOST
Your not getting it hater, there vocals sound similar THATS IT. Ghost said they both have punchlines which is true but what they talk about is so far from similar. No one is saying that and don’t hate on Bronson dude is a monster (HES NO GHOSTFACE) but quit hating save that shit for the birds were not talking about Drake or B.O.B. son.
Can’t say I’ve heard all of Action Bronson’s joints but what I’ve heard is dope. I dig dude’s style. At least he’s reppin’ where he’s from stylistically, instead of dickridin’ the South. As far as Wu-Block, they should call that shit “Only Built 4 Baggy Jeans…” Consider it copped…
…And if yall want to hear someone who sounds like Ghost, look no further than Ghost’s dude, Shawn Wigs…
ghost is one of my all time favorites, and bronson is in heavy rotation for me right now. bronsons a bad man
bronstein is a 400 lb sack of shit (self-inflicted diabetes) and ghostface’s son is gay, which i think is great but ‘the god’… i dunno.
Although there is a some terrible artist around at the minute (e.g. 2 Chainz), there’s still a lot of talented artist with flow and lyrical content…and Action Bronson is very high on that list – Dr Lecter & Blue Chips & Well Done are all incredible albums…K.dot, j.cole and freddie gibbs are all keeping our beautiful hip hop alive, along with others..
dat chick is so hawt
sheek louch and the block are far from legends not even close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Shitzzz funny the WU AND THE THESE FOOLZZZZZ BAD!!!!!!!!! OLD HEAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OUT!!!!!!!!
