Scram Jones been dropping nothing but fire for the last two and a half years, somebody from Wu needs to link up for a full album.
Would love a full album from these two. J Hood and Shyheim are doing a full album together.

Anyone peep this or have a link? Not paying $50 for a digital download if it's going to be mid (most likely scenario)

[josborne3680]

Yeah prices on his site are f#cking absurd. One of the bundles is 850 bucks, maybe u get to sleep with Ghost. I’ve always supported by copping the physicals. But I have my limits. Peace

LOL.

A christmas ep? Was reading about this on reddit and the price is batshit. Extortion and youd think for those prices its at least a full album

[corky831]

Ghost is so washed now. It's sad I still look for his music. Trying to price gouge this Christmas EP. The vinyl is like $300....idk who is going to buy this $hit

He has no business acumen (and it's ok) but he has clowns around him with even worst ideas that he seems to defer to. He's always doing boozo krusty the clown ass ventures and brand deals that a person can't sent up by themselves.

Honest question, asking for research purposes, what do you think makes the difference to wanting to pay $1100 for a limited Mach Homey album, or a special edition Griselda release, but not for a Ghostface album. Also, would you feel different if for example it was a Ghostface & Raekwon EP solely produced by Wu-Element producers.

Let me know.

I spend good money on Wu-shit.. I would happily pay $500 for a product that is good. Not a wack CHRISTMAS album with horrible cover art and lame features.

No fucking way.. I’d pay $1000 for a unique copy of OUATIS for example - nothing crazy but if I knew it was a limited edition product of a few thousand. No problem. Done!

For me it’s Yes, all day, to that last part. I just miss that Wu sound and the chemistry and I guess the two go hand & hand. We’ve been getting it in crumbs now for years, probably since the late 90’s. It just seemed like the Wu-element production inspired them to rhyme/flow a certain way that they wouldn’t do elsewhere. I remember getting excited about the Tical 0 the prequel because Meth was linking back up with Rza and it had be think we be getting that production, that rhyming and chemistry. But we got meth with missy elliot and Ludacris instead. The only reason I even remember that album is because of ‘the turn’. Cuban Linx 2 is a great example as well. The hype that surrounded that album, Rza was back with Rae and GZA and Deck had lead roles as well. Then they blew us away with state of Grace. Then when the album dropped we got a watered down D Block album.

Just wrote a reply that got lost stating that we are dealing with a Chirstmas EP that lacks story, packaging and presentation. Plus, the pricing is weird and lacks info. What format do we get the digital copy in? Why would I want an vinyl version if it is being delivered in the middle of the fucking summer? And why always the gimmicky names for the vinyl? You even want me to buy two if I have a preference for the color?

Griselda knows who they work with, like with Patta. And are pretty consistent in the quality of their output. So that would make if a much more sure bet. The outlet and everything would need to be added though.

Mach-Hommy I am sadly not yet familiar with. But sounds like an underground artist carving out his own niche and supporting his following honestly. (Like someone said on here, Ghost just seems to do promo's online.)

A RAGU EP with Wu-Elements would be different because we have Rae & Ghost, still a bit or a rarity. We have them on Elements, also a bit of rarity. This could work, because we know they bring out the best in each other. And the elements together have proven to work thanks to PR and Bugsy. Now in order for it to work, this would need some hype, so the bar is up. It would need a story, it would need proper packaging and pricing. Not like this christmas EP. (Everyone I show it asks if this is real. I wonder if there was even a budget for it or if they forgot.) So work with Danny Hastings again for example or Jonathan Mannion. Ilja would probably also love to do it for you, hehe. But you get the idea.
