They just get little known up and coming producers to handle all the beats, pay them fuck all and then market the hell out of the product with "packages" and signed bullshit etc etc. Its just product not art for them and it guarantees everyone except the producers more cash but the producers aint complaining they get to live out there dreams and say they produced a Ghostface album. They probably paying Remedy to let them do the beats.
The Lost Tapes was the same, they even put remix albums out there now. At least on this album Ghost is flowing better and his voice is getting back to that higher pitch old Ghostface sound and the beats aren't all that bad, some even pretty good.
BINGO!!!!!!!
This is why most of their projects have these weak producers now and less and less features. They’re not trying to pay their own money to put the project over the top, just hoping the one producer is good enough. Most of these features were probably done “On the Strength”, he could’ve easily sprinkled 2 Alchemist beats, 1 Pete Rock beat, and even 1 Staik Beat in there to push this project over the top. Imagine that with a Conway feature, Willie the Kid feature..this would’ve pushed the album up more. Only Raekwon seems like he can make moves and get the features needed and RZA of course....
