Ghostface Killah and Action Bronson sound alike, and we're not the only ones who think so: The Wu-Tang Clan member himself has admitted that he's gotten confused when listening to the younger emcee.
"I thought he was me one day, you know what I mean?" the rapper said to Vlad.tv. "When I heard some sh*t that I never even f*cking-when I first got put on and sh*t. I'm asking myself, 'When the f*ck I do that verse?' They pulled up on the YouTube, I'm like, 'When the f*ck I do...?' It was him."
Still, there's no hard feelings. Ghostface acknowledged that he realized Bronson wasn't trying to cop his style, and that the pair had even discussed the similarities the first time they met.
"So when I seen him he was like, 'Yo, everybody saying I sound like you. I'm not trying sound like you man, this how my voice is.' He was a good dude, humbled and sh*t," he said. "If that's not the tone of your voice, then it's like, 'Yo bro, you a great actor.' Only Jamie Foxx and them n*ggas could do that sh*t. I don't know."
Pitchfork noted the similarities between the two voices back in 2011: "Bronson is by no means a ripoff artist, but the timbre and urgency of his delivery could sound very similar to those of the Staten Island originator."
It's not as if Ghostface has just now heard of his fellow New York emcee. That quote above came alongside a review of the track the two did together during 2011, titled "Meteor Hammer." You can listen to the track below...it'll help you differentiate between the two. Trust us.
