Best description of this album is utterly forgettable.
Doesn't sound like great stuff for an album was stashed for years. This sounds like a quickly put together mixtape.
Meth doesn't have a verse on the Trial.
Ghost tries to recreate Impossible on 4th Disciple. Great job by 4th making a beat that really fits Ghost tho.
When the most memorable thing on an album is a skit making fun of yourself for having a song that said you toss salads, it's not a good sign. Hilarious though and good on Ghost for being able to make fun of himself.
Just go listen to SC instead,definitely don;t listen to it right before this.
Pretty forgettable indeed, not worthy of the title. Feels like most tracks are new and even a track like The Trial is probably with new elements. Since tracks are very short it all just blends together. The clear standout though is the song with Nas, with some serious west coast vibes, man that one was worth it. The Trial I really need to listen to again, but those 2 rando’s kind of make it kind of an odd ass track. The concept is great, but execution is rough. I can’t think of a particular track right now, so not sure it’s been done before exactly like this, but I’ve heard way better tracks where a random person interrupts and since Meth is a rapper they could’ve made the judge rap and keep the flow. That could’ve been sick actually. We got a decent GZA verse I guess, but half his verse is not over the beat and he’s already dry AF so not the guy to do that too. The track with Meth is actually solid too. Then there’s maybe 2-3 more I could maybe put in my rotation. But definitely not worthy even to be called an album, mixtape is stretching it even.
Very upsetting to hear the above....but to be expected, as I didn't expect much from this effort.
Listening to the Sampler, and I am sorry to say it sounds a 5/10 album maybe a 6/10, compared to Raekwons recent 8.5/10 album. Poor beats, hating the non Wu members in this, nope it’s not for me. Very average album from Ghost.
I gotta agree...I just heard it. It was disappointing, to me. Some may like it. Like I said before. These guys are no longer interested in making the music we liked 20-30 years ago. If we want that sound, we gotta make it ourselves. Peace.Quote:

Someone gotta mash up ‘Beat Box’ with UGod’s ‘Nothin’ from that Bring Back God Volume 1 mixtape. lol
Good album after one listen. Lots of enjoyable moments. Nice hearing Sun God and GZA voices again. 4th Disciple beat is dope.
Iron Man track is the one Ghost had the 30 second snippet on his instagram a few weeks ago for like 4 hours. lol Reminds me of White Linen Affair from BDR.
Knuckles involvement feels forced. But I’m not gonna get mad at skits.
This is what Ghost chose to give us in 2025, so I’ll take it. I’d rather have this than nothing. And much rather have this than another 12 Reasons/36 Seasons/Sour Soul/etc.. type project.
Did that Alchemist produced track he played during the Rae/Ghost versuz make the album???
Lol @ people calling a guy whose MO is just to put out whatever forgettable shit he can scrap together, the GOAT. It sucks how legends like BDK and GZA retire from making new music so early, but when you think of this as the possible alternative you've gotta understand why n be at least a bit grateful.
I'd feel sorry for anybody who actually believed that 'I've got bangers I've been holding back for 20 years' nonsense, but u did it to urself if u actually believed that shit.
Sounds like another classic for the all thyme GOAT with the strongest discog in the history of hip hop, lololololololol.
Classic wu-corp response.
Snippets sound interesting and definitely some heat on there. Some nice old school break type beat / samples. Looking forward to hearing the full thing tomorrow and properly digesting over the next few days.
Of course it doesn’t sound like pt.1, idiots.
Understand....but when you look at it, if they put time and effort into the project, they can deliver....I think it's the fact the Wu doesn't want to put time and money into the production and work on their rhymes anymore. Malice just turned 53 years old, Ghost is 55. Malice is probably MC of the year imo, and sounds the same as he did 20 years ago.....I'm sure health takes into account for the ability to have longevity in the rap game. But there really is no excuse when you see MCs like Black Thought, Pusha T, Malice, Nas, Killer Mike, etc. still put out really strong albums / music regularlyQuote:
