Seems like Cuban Linx...III is the most realistic at the moment.
I think DoomStarks is the only one of those that would live up to the hype

Ghost already used alot of his verses from DoomStarks on other projects so Supreme 2 really....just cause of the hype !
Can I pick Once Upon a Time in Shaolin? Peace
Just realized this is Rae's biggest gap in between albums. Lex Diamond and Cuban Linx 2 was a 6-year gap. But now he's gone 7 years without an album. I can't believe The Wild came out in 2017. Seems like yesterday that album dropped.
I looked at his old interviews and he said he'll drop an album called "Scarlet Fever" first, then Cuban Linx 3 afterward
I'd listen to Supreme 2 if Kanye produced it just to hear Ghost over different, more up to date production and maybe some bigger features. Would probably be odd like the Nas album Ye did, but I'm tired of hearing Wu trying to sound like they're in the 90s.

I don't know where you've been in the past 20 years but the Wu purposely tries NOT to sound like the 90s. That's why they called Cilva's Once Upon a Time in Shaolin project "too gloomy" and whatever. They NEED that 90s sound, but only people like Cilva are trying to get it. The Wu themselves have moved away from it
True if you're talking their solo albums. But I mainly listen to their group albums
which still sound like 90s RnB sample shit. But the only reason people want to hear Kanye produce Ghost is because they're both known for 70s soul samples. I want to hear Ghost rap over the beats Kanye has been using the last few years because Ye fell off lyrically and sounds dumb trying to speak on "black man is God" type shit.
I don't listen to their solo stuff because the production still sounds retro 2000s to me. I want to hear them over young producers and modern genres.
Ex. Young Thug had the best production in the game and is sitting in jail. His producers are doing nothing. Rae & Ghost should've been all over that but I doubt they have young hip heads in their circle.
And I think its bullshit that they "need" that 90s RZA sound. It would be corny hearing 50/60 year olds rapping over the same production as their 20s/30s. Time has moved on and no one can sound like RZA did then... not even RZA. They just need beats up to their level, which few producers can make. Def not the same house Wu producers who never produce for anyone else. Thats why they like working with Pete Rock and Havoc, the best from their generation.
They would literally need an album with Dr Dre, Ye, Premier, RZA, True Master, Prince Paul and that budget would be insane. If we can't get that, lets hear them over the best new producers.
I think its another issue with having RZA and Wu-Management over the group U-God has hinted at this. The group want to work with big producers but they never get the greenlight. They would have to do it solo, which they can't even afford.
Meth is the only one with the stroke to work with mega producers on his solo albums, but it usually sounds wack because Def Jam had him so commercial.

I'ma just fan-produce solo albums:
Ghost & Kanye
Rae & Dr. Dre
Masta Killa, Deck & U-God with Madlib
Method Man & Q-Tip (sounds better than Q-Tip's LL Cool J album)
GZA & Premier
Cappadonna & El-P
RZA & Prince Paul

ah you see the way.
cappadonna el p tho?
….. ok… ok … ill listen. I will. Lol. Not my first thought of a combo. Lol. Pete rock maybe. I like how we all have our own idea of what wu is and everyone is a lil different.
as for the thread. Cl3. Supreme 2. And ugod/rza seem to be most realistic albumsbthat will drop. Doomstarks i doubt we ever see. If yall notice dooms stopped using his beats as soon as he blew up. He barely no produced anything except for albums he got paid to. I could see his new found popularity killing the sample costs and making it unfeasible.
ghost and rae seem to be aboe to work on multi projects at once while focusing on a major work. Them 2 i can see doing it. Meths album with hav? Who knows if thats gonna drop i already saw meths on havs new album with rj payne and ras kass i assume his stuff got repurposed. And hav also has an album wuth cormega he making rn so i dont see meth/hav actually dropping. Idk. I want it to tho. Big time.
deck. He coasting on czarface. Id liek to thini he was making a legit album but idk if he will.
rest. Only cap and mk to me deserve to be dropping albums rn of the rest. Everyone else is on coast. Rza just released like 3 solos straught. They were cool but not like his og solos and noone stans rza harder than me. Both mk and cap have been most consistajt in clan the past 10 years imo.
