[FC-discuss] [*] Ghostface speaks to fans re: 1st week sales

[Kevin Driscoll]

If I buy the CD, and Ghost follows through with his promise, I'll
interview him on these very topics.

If dude was cranking 3$ on each of those discs, he'd be doing pretty
well for himself. I wonder what kind of contract he must have to be so
bummed out.
