the 1st track Iron Man is good. Like it every time I listen but literally forget it soon after. That's never happened before. It's just a lot of tracks are weirdly forgettable
4th Disciple is good but so short it's kind of a waste. It starts right in, almost cutting off his first word.
The Trial is a huge disappointment, pretty much a mess. Sticky did it MUCH better better over 20 years ago. Besides no Meth verse, Gza is his usual half asleep self but for some of it most of the beat cuts out. Bad decision.
Just weird uninspired choices and tracks. If it was something else cool, SC2 nah. And it didn't have to touch SC, just have a genuine effort. This aint it.
Someone should go beat ghost over the head with a copy of CL2 to show him how to make an acceptable sequel
This has to be one of GFK best mixtapes to date !!!!
It's definitely a decent mixtape. He didn't even TRY to make this collection of tracks SC2 tho. There is absolutely nothing here to make this compilation SC2.
It's plenty listenable, but nothing to bring the listener back. I doubt I'll play it more than 2 or 3 thymes.
S/o to Rza who was always transparent and kept us in the loop when he was about to capsize the Wu-Tang ship. Does Ghost have someone on payroll affirming all these lasagna-brained decisions? Mass appeal is promoting these Rae & Ghost duds like they’re quintessential Wu classics. People need to lose their jobs over this. Someone got paid to tell Ghost that ‘Set The Tone’ was a good idea. I could arrange a classic, well received by the fans album, standing on my fucking head at this point, for any general and/or affiliate.
It's all Wiggs fault !
Remember when everyone wanted ghost to exec produce a clan album? Hahahaha. These MFs shit all over RZA and his beats and management, then use the most generic plastic gangster beats you’ll ever hear, use AI in videos, use pseudo RZA beats made by someone else, or somehow manage to use beats that have already been used (metaphysics was used by action bronson, the dude ghost was shitting on for biting him). Its hilarious.
CL2 was the last release worthy of the Wu name and it was executive produced by….. RZA.

Sounds like more concept albums on the way after this. Wu Block and all that. So it was nice getting this official solo Ghost album now.
Shit with Pharoahe and Meth sounds wild though. lol
I was wondering what NasÂ’ motivation was behind this Legend Has It series.
Okay, Slick Rick hasn’t dropped an album in decades, and this one was co-produced by Idris Elba, so it has a more British/European tone.
Rae’s album is a solid 7/10 effort, but it won’t sell much, won’t get him more tour dates or anything like that.
Ghostface’s new album is basically a mixtape with leftover beats from the BDR and AK era—so, late-stage Def Jam Ghost. Some songs are poorly mixed. M.O.P., Conway, and Styles P sound rough here, but Ghost sounds awful. Compared to Rae and Slick Rick, not to mention Malice (who, like said above, still sounds like he’s in his twenties), Ghost is clearly tired. His voice is neglected and honestly painful to listen to.
Ghost gets Set The Tone and this and 2 singles with Nas. I know Nas is a Wu fan, and if it wasn’t for Mass Appeal Of Mics and Men would’ve never seen the light of day probably. But it’s still kind of strange.
Nice to hear 4th Disciple's beat on a mainstream(ish) album though.
Candyland with one old nice ghost verse and one new one. You can literally hear the fall off. His voice is gone.
CL2 was essentially a mixtape too. Real mix of quality and styles compiled over a period of many years, and not a single track would have fit on CL1 - but it's still a good project.
After a couple of listens, SC2 is similar. Doesn't have that sequel feel but probably the best / most interesting project Ghost has put out since like 2010 (way better than all those concept albums).
The MOP, Styles P and Conway are unnecessary and have no place on here, but whatever.
4th Disciple, Windows, Break Beats, Beat Box, Rap Kingpin (slightly reworked beat from the single), Soul Thang, Metaphysics and Candyland - all great.
CL2 was not a mixtape stop with the copium. CL2 is definitely the last good Wu album. I was a fan of Apollo Kids but that was more mixtape vibes. I agree with others, he shouldn't have named this SC2 I think people would have lower expectations and this would be received better. It’s definitely his best stuff in awhile but when you say SC2 a lot of expectations come with that and this doesn't meet them. This is way better than Set The Tone but that album was horrible. So it’s not hard to outdo that. I still laugh at the people on here who are still praying for them to rhyme over Rza and Wu Elements. They’ve made it clear that they’ve moved on from that. Plus those guys (Wu-Elements) have fell off too tall just don’t want to admit it. It’s all nostalgia.Quote:

Just keep on doing what your day one, dedicated fan base wants.. That is why Griselda, Roc Marciano and Vinnie Paz are all thriving so well with the formula that Wu Tang established.. They are not trying to do whatever is hot at the moment, just catering to the core fan
Both projects with Adrian Younge are dope! Come on man. It doesn't get better than that. The album with Czarface as well. I'm still listening to SC2 right now. I'll give my opinion later. From what I've heard so far; Raekwon has dropped a better album. "The trial" sounds dope though. Good to hear GZA after so long.... RZA should have produced at least 3-4 tracks. Some of the beats are boring. Not wack but boring 😴
