Riff: Ghostface Killah – “It’s a Thin Line Between Love and Hate”

Dec 9, 2014

You keep hurtin’ her/She keep bein’ quiet/She might be holdin’ something inside, that’ll really really hurt you one day

from It's a Thin Line Between Love and Hate lyrics by Ghostface Killah

Smooth doo-wop style soul buttered up nicely over a slice of warm cinnamon raisin bread. It’s a mixtape style drop that seals this as an official project with all the trimmings. Ghost’s absence is filled in nicely with a bittersweet dollop of deep soul – man does woman wrong and woman bites back.
