Well, i think the album is ok. 7/10
Some good songs, obviously Ghost isn’t the same as 10 years ago.
But, it doesn’t mean he sucks.
Rap Kingpin, Windows, Metaphysics, Iron Man, Sample 420, Love Me Anymore, Georgy Porgy are dope songs
Also, Set The Tone was dope too imo
It's not about hip-hop but music in general. Most groups can't beat their great works and labelling it "Part 2" makes this shit even harder to do. People need to start realising a few things. First of all, the age matters, at least a bit, because when Wu were young they were hungry as hell and they were more focused on making music and showing their skills. Now they're more mature and trying to imitate a 20-odd year old would be ridiculous that's why I like new Rae's album and I call it "a grown man rap" cause it's really dope but it's also very mature and Rae's trying to rap about things he's achieved and stuff.Quote:

There's no way becuase it's not only music but the memories associated with certain records. Y'all probably have the same issue with a lot of Wu records.
And finally, music industry done changed a lot and records aren't made as they used to. Back in the days, there weren't no digital stuff and producers used instruments, old records, and old gear which gave soul to the records. Today's beats often sound flat or too clear. In this case, they're poorly mixed imho
Even though I don't agree with or approve of CD's views as the face and voice of the 'legalise beastiality' movement, this is the best thing anybody has said in what I've seen of this thread...
'And stop defending Ghost, he's lazy and doesn't respect you enough to put real effort and just wanted a cash grab.'
LOL that skit was highlarious! Glad he addressed the Fishyness lolQuote:

Who would ve thought SC2 would be even worse than Set the Tone
This is going to sound crazy but I'm two songs in and this ain't it lol.
For one, im too old for this. Usually when the artist matures up with time they're still tolerable (Nas is a good example) but this ain't it.
Album cover sums up what im hearing.
Bro that age shit makes no sense and its only an excuse in rap because rappers weed and drug their brains to oblivion. But it's not age, it's drugs and inspiration.Quote:

I can understand a producer sucking because idk maybe you lose rhythm and budgets. But how do you lose the capacity to write with age? Why doesnt that rule apply to authors?
I'm loving this album! Visual street tales, over bangin' boom bap production. "The Trial" is my favorite joint. Rae & Ghost trading rhymes stating their case, in the vein of their 90's/2000's era chemistry. With GZA expertly summarizing the inner workings of the case as "The Stenographer." Legendary Wu Banga! Ghost came correct with a masterpiece for the ages.
Edit: this was in reference to tsa last poast...
The reality is if u stay inspired and healthy you will only get better with age and experience. Same with most anything that doesn't require physicality.
It's absurd to think someone will not be able to rap as well when they're in their 50's, purely cos of their age.
Most people grow out of hip hop. Most of the lyrical content in hip hop is immature dreck. Of course you're gonna lose interest in doing that shit as u get older. If you're lacking the creativity to find intetesting things to write about then u end up like ghost.
Those 12rtd albums r pretty cringe to me, as it's now grown men pretending to be mafia, decades after it brcame a stale concept. Rza narrating ANYTHING is guaranteed cringe anyway.
Yeah. It sucks that the genre is for dumb asses because you can do anything with the medium of rapping. Method man actually proves your theory. He stays healthy etc and he's technically just as good as before before. I only like his Tical album rap style which he dropped after that album, so I dont care about his new lame ass punchline shit but I can see that he can still write verses when he wants.Quote:

Was it hollow darts that used to say “retire” in every thread? I feel it’s relevant here. Retire ghost. You’ve done enough.
Its all Wiggs fault !!! i bet he has a lifetime deal with gfk , ghostwriting for permission to sell toys like gold uzi's and gfk trinkets , etc. He may still be living that life and moving like he was when he was in OTF . i swear when i used to listen back in the day to OTF i always pictured him the mini gfk of the crew. He been riding gfk xxxx for mad long . But that is just my speculation i have nothing to prove it.Quote:

I keep forgetting the identity of the guy is known. Ghost is always doing some season 6 Krusty the Klown 'business move' and using the name 'Supreme Clientele 2' for an album you didnt care about enough to make a cover for is right up there.Quote:
