Ghostface Killah on Couples Therapy
On the list of "regrettable decisions made by rappers over the age of 40 in the month of February" Ghosftface's appearance on VH1's train wreck of a reality show Couples Therapy comes in a distant second to DMX's recent agreement to fight George Zimmerman in a [now cancelled] pay per view bout. And when compared to Flavor Flav's earlier role on VH1's Flavor of Love - and is it me, or does VH1 seem to go out of its way to cast aging emcees in the worst possible light - Ghost's appearance here comes off far more favorably, largely due to the level of charisma he's able to maintain even while revealing to his girlfriend of one year that he has another side chick of several more years. Nevertheless, it's probably not a good sign for Ghost's career, or love life, that the prospect of appearing on a televised, month-long therapy session was even considered as an option for him.
Having said that, his ability to put four different levels of emphasis on the word love ("I love her ways, too, but I can't say I was in love love love love") while making a convincing argument for polygamy ("You knew my aura") was impressive.
