Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai Video

The Way of the Samurai. Give a few minutes to honour the ghost dog.. and the code he loves and lives for. Ta. Roachy. WARNING - big spoilers! see the film first! ...As for the music choice, as i get a few comments - i Wouldn't normally choose this kinda song for ghost dog too...(should have used some RZA ok) but i wanted something moving and it damn well works. Lyrics just need to be taken metaphorically :/

Ghost Dog driving to his first job in a stolen Lexus. He pulls out the CD and puts it in the CD player. The song is called From Then Till Now from Killah Priest and it can be found on album Heavy Mental. Awesome movie and I love this scene, it has a great atmosphere :)
