How's it hangin' denizens of this fabulous virtual world called "The Kountry Klub"?
As you all may know, Family Force 5 recently came out with an album on Tuesday, May 19, 2009 called Dance or Die with a Vengeance, but for the sake of saving my poor fingers from writing that repeatidly, let's call it DODW/AV. On the album, there is a brand new song called "Ghost Ride The Whip" For those of you who were (and still are!) fans of Business Up Front, Party in the Back; you will recognize the ghetto krunkness of Family Force 5 as they venture into the Hip Hop world scene for this song. But how did this song come to be? How did they decide to sing a song about ghostridin'? What is ghostriding anyway, and what the HECK is a whip?! What does this song EVEN mean?
Most OG FF5 fans know how straight thuggin' these 5 rowdy rapscallians can be, the Atlanta natives have been influenced by the Hip Hop scene for years. During the making of DODW/AV, the boys started making a beat, but one problem; they didn't have a topic to rap about! The had no idea what subject would partake in this song. But before the song was written, a man came up to them and said:
"Man, you guys seem like you ghost ride the whip! Do you ghost ride the whip?"
At first, the boys were confused as could be! They had no idea what "ghostriding" was, in fact, they took it at an insult at first! FF5 relied on Urbandictionary.com and figured it all out.
According to Urban dictionry, the definition is:
1. Originated in the YAY area (Oakland, San Francisco, San Jose, etc.) it mean for a driver to get out of the car, or whip, and start ... walking along side of it or jumping on the hood, rear, or hood. It looks like a ghost is riding in the drivers seat of the whip.
2. To dance next to or on the top of your hood while the car is still moving. ideally with many friends and Hip Hop Music.
Fmaily Force 5 laughs about this topic because to them, ghostriding sounds silly. They don't recomend you do it, as Soul Glow sings in the song "Gon' gitchya self killed if ya don' do it right" . It isn't worth the harm it could do, and they advise you take this song as more fun than serious, as the boys don't actually ghostride themselves. They decided to write about it because it was hilarious and and ridiculous, and with songs outr like "Kountry Gentleman" and "Drama Queen", we know how much these boys love to write ridiculously funny songs.
Also, many fans have been coming out saying ridiculous things like the song has a couple sexual conotations to it. I can ASSURE you, this song in no way has any sexual meaning to it. The two Olds' brothers are both HAPPILY married, and respect their wives enough to keep the personal relationships between their wives, well, personal.
As the most gangsta song the Fam has ever written, we can't wait to hear what else the boys can come up with.
