Looking forward to hearing how this plays as a whole project
I knew that Sun God is his kid, but which one is the second kid?Quote:

Hmmm guess we'll see. Was hoping for more Wu features. When will they learn they are better and stronger when they form like Voltron.
Didn't someone post that Jadakiss was meant to be on there?
No RZA, Rae on one track... eh
They'll never learn, I swear
While it’s great that GZA, Rae & Meth are on one track, the title doesn’t really spark enthusiasm, especially because there’s 2 other freaking dudes on the track, which means 6 dudes on a track that’s barely 3 minutes long. My guess is, GZA has two lines and or it’s recycled, with Rae & Meth’s verse coming later (fairly recent). Also Redman not an actual track, no Jadakiss, yeah…only that one track with Meth and Ironman are ones that right now at least could be really dope. Ghost & Nas in 2025 could go either way.
From the back of the vinyl...

I know not everyone here shares the same sentiment against AI but the chokehold it has on the WU is so disheartening. ATP the only thing connected to this album that isn’t AI are the verses and who knows how accurate that’ll be once the full project drops. Incredibly lazy and uninspired.
Some could argue a black and white back cover that’s just text is a good way to use AI to save some time but I really just see it as Mass Appeal designers continuing to flex how little effort they feel like they need to put into this project.
Executive produced by Ghostface Killah and Shawn Wigs

I hoped for more RZA, Cappadonna, Wu features etc.
But yes, like mentioned above, I also expect bunch of 2:35 songs with 15 seconds-verses.
4th disciple deserves some shine though.
It's odd that Cappa or even Trife aren't on there, however I imagine there were a LOT of joints for this that were accumulated over the years but got cut for the final version
No Cappa, no rza (what are the odds there’s no rza beats either), no deck (dude shows up for fucking everyone) and one rae verse. Just call it something else imo. Seems like a cash grab and he’s gonna duck out of the game after this one.
My expectations just dropped drastically
Rae's cover was bad as well. Aside from Rae's questionable clothing choice, the cover seems like it's been taken from a random photo shoot session.Quote:

Didn’t even put in the effort to make it worthy of a cash grab.
Thanks a lot Mister Vaughn, your GhostFace Killah fantasies completely derailed this topic from Supreme Clientele II to Bravo Network.
I heard Georgy Porgy was a great storytelling song. Can't wait to hear it.
I'm expecting this to be at least a good album. My only concern is that it will sound like a mixtape of tracks rather than a cohesive album.
Didn’t even see that, my god….those titles really make it seem like a random ass collection of music rather than even a rap album.Quote:

There will never be another follow up like OB4CL 2 . Shouldnt have named it SC2 thats my take on it
Ghost said that he had collected a body of 20 years of work and some beats were done 10-15 years ago and rhymes were written 10-20 years ago so I assume he's right to call it SC2.Quote:

I could possibly being all 3 rapped new verses and he slapped some GZA on there from an unfinished song or something.
The album is out, will listen to it shortly.
There's a sampler out. About 22 minutes. Sounds pretty good. Excited to hear the whole thing tomorrow.
Got a link?Quote:

Should be here
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:
