Thank you for posting this. We are looking forward to SC2. With today's music trend, it may not have the same feeling of SC to it. We'll see, though.

Kanye beats before he was famous are next level. After that, it seems like he is trying too hard to impress his peers. I wish he would have stayed true to self and produced music that was inspirational to him.Quote:

I wasn't jumping for joy when I read this info, but I will defer my judgement until I've heard the material.
What I am hoping is that working on the sequel can bring out the best of both Kanye and Ghost.
Don't forget that Kanyes work on The Blueprint was inspired entirely from Supreme Clientele.
Hopefully with Ye as an exec, Ghost can demand a bigger budget, which can be partly utilised for sampling clearances.
I will be majorly disappointed if its all live instrumentation. Supreme Clientele's spirit is built on soul samples.
This is what i was talking about in the westside gunn exec’n an album fir them… they want a BIG name attached to help bring shine to what they do. Kanye is a top 3 name in hip hop and one of biggest names in music period. Having kanye exec his album is great news because that means hes just adding touches and picking tracks for the album. I didnt see him touching it the way rza did supreme clientele but the inclusion of mike dean DOES mean we will see it remixed ala rza. Westside gunn is never doing a real albun for the wu. Maybe a throwaway album down the line like the last few ghost projects but never a mainstream release when they still more popular than he is. Staten island ego 101
Wu as a brand is the most popular, so yes.Quote:

I dont know how popular they are at this point, but this Kanye record will help Ghost to reclaim the spot he was at when Fishscale was released, if not even bigger.

RZA interview, he gives his opinion.
Lets see how popular and relevant the Griselda crew is in 25+ years. Then we can discuss listeners and popularity and relevenceQuote:

I highly doubt Ghostface is gonna drop SC2 next month, with or without Kanye, but I made this mashup tape to show what it could sound like.
Cool mix..but that's a RZA beat
I didn't say it was a Kanye beat (although actually its a co production with Kanye and his production team, I think RZA just provided the initial loop).Quote:

Album ain't never dropping, don't kid yourselves. How long he was talking about it?
Kanye nuttier than squirrel shit anyway, geet RZA to produce an album or Muggs, some of these new grimy cats
This album was 'finished' in 2010 according to Ghost in an interview. You can add another 12 years now with Kanye on board.Quote:

What does that baggage handler know about what's happening with Ghost's album?Quote:

Ghost is pretty consistent it'll be a dope release.
Not a chance this will be Kanye exec produced - if it is, it won't be released this year.
Ghost just needs to get back to picking his own beats and writing his own rhymes. The rest doesn't matter.
(unless that trash new joint he just released is all Ghost, which I fear it could be...)
Anyway, Ghost is the greatest. He just needs to get his focus back.
What new joint?Quote:

Agree with corky831, I'm pretty much done looking forward to new releases from the clan. They still don't drop stuff on time plus they're in their 50's now. The bars just aren't there for me anymore. The production would have to be REALLY good for me to tune in now. The last Ghost album had mediocre beats all over them. Either they can't afford hot producers or they just don't have an ear for good beats.
Most rappers, Wu included, have bad ear for beats, so that's nothing new. There's literally dope indie producers that could do just as good a job as Kanye but rappers are too lazy to seek them out.Quote:

I feel like GZA and Masta Killa are never gonna drop another album, I'm putting my money in terms of releases on Rae, Ghost, RZA, INS & Uey. If Rae puts his mind to it and comes with OB4CL... beats it OB4CL III will be dope. That Scarlet Fever that is supposed to tide us over, from what Rae posted of how he views the release, sounds like it's gonna have FILA levels of meh.
CL2 ? I have no idea what to expect
Somebody needs to hook Wu Tang up with Vinnie Paz's in house producer C Lance, he has crazy heat.
Only when I checked properly, I noticed it was a Ghost track. At first I though this was a feature by Ghost.Quote:

Would be better if you just said he scrapped it. This is like waiting for Duke Nukem Forever. And we also have Liquid Swords 2, which never came.Quote:

Kanye probably focused in Pusha's album now. Even though I wonder which role he is going to have. Because he only got involved with DAYTONA at the end, when he heard Pusha's album and said he could do better and scrapped everything.
36 Seasons was pretty damn good.
I think all those, 36 Seasons, Sour Soul, 12 Reasons, show a matured Ghost rapping. And the concept like 12 Reasons works good with him as a storyteller. So why not continue down that line, and make such masterpieces. Live instrumentation and an overarching story. We know you can already rap Ghost, so no need in doing those rap hip hop tracks.

And it looks like Kanye will be busy with Donda 2, for which he will be helped by Future.
I'd have to disagree, most of those albums sounds like Ghost wrote his bars in less than 5 minutes. 12 Reasons did have good production but that's the only one I really could vibe with but even some of those rhymes were ehhh.Quote:

Ghost is solidified, how can his career be over? U God career is not even over and his albums gargle ballsQuote:

Facts Ghost still has that fire in him
Not only did he write his verses in 5 minutes, but I don't think he had any creative control when it came to the production. Maybe that's for the better. They probably just told him to spit some verses and they'd copy and paste them to some dope beats. I imagine that's how all those albums were made. Ghost was probably cluelessQuote:

Ghost will probably release something else in between, and that press round will be followed up with a tid bit about him still working on SC2 and RZA exec producing.
At some point there was talk that Superb was writing for him too. I personally feel that he was and also influencing GFK flow for a short time.Quote:
