Yes. With little room for doubt now.

He said in an interview a few days ago that it would be around May. Nas info source said it’s Supreme Clientele 2. In the Mass Appeal promo video it says on the pressing system screen ‘Ghostface_SC2’.

It’s time.

So the next questions are going to be:
Will it live up to its legacy?
Is there any hype?
​Is it going to sell?

Will it live up to its legacy? Somewhat
Is there any hype? A little bit but not really
​Is it going to sell? No

You gotta take these type of albums how they come, and disregard the title almost, otherwise you'll almost certainly be disappointed if you're going to immediately compare it track for track to the original.

I remember in 99, these exact sentiments were expressed then he dropped the album and shut the game down. never say never.

1. HELL NO
2. Only amidst old heads who haven’t paid attention
3. Nope

Let’s hope SC2 doesn’t end up being anything like what CL2 was to it’s predecessor.

CL2 was a decent effort. Rae's work ethics six months before the release was through the roof.

Yeah you’re done. CL2 was a banger and well received.

True story

Wild that Wu heads don’t like CL2. Peace

For coming out so much later than it probably should have, OB4CL2 was surprisingly good. If SC2 is as good of a f/u, it will be a great album. But I'm certainly not expecting that

If SC2 is as good as OB4CL2 I’ll be VERY happy.

That album is excellent and a worthy follow up to the OG.

It’s the benchmark for what I’m hoping for.

There’s no chance this is like OB4CL2, we’ve all seen and heard GF latest attempts at a solid album and it’s been far from great. But that withstanding, think about the lack of features, how old everyone is now, how much the scene has changed so GF is unlikely to get a lot of support and financial investment behind it. Maybe some producers will do him a favor, but Raekwon had all the ingredients to get that to work; from producers, to pretty much the whole clan as features, big names all around, videos, still some Wu hype around that time or at least anticipating this release. SC2 would come to most people out of nowhere, 25 years later, lack of interest in getting a physical release etc. I just don’t see how in any universe this could live up to the hype of a OB4CL2, let alone as a proper sequel to a classic.

The main reason for a little bit of hope that this could be of that ilk is that he’s been holding his best beats/tracks back for this album since 2003. This is his last big album. It’s definitely possible that it could be a great album. Look how long OB4CL2 took to come out and how often it was delayed/how much the tracklist changed over time.
