No it’s not. Hold his feet to the fire if you’re a real fan. The shyt as a body of work is underwhelming as fukk. Stop it.

Alc does a few things for samples
1. pays his own money out of pocket to get them cleared
2. Sacrifices publishing rights to get them cleared
3. Samples stuff too obscure to be easily found, and doesn’t clear anything. Sometimes he samples stuff where there isn’t even a known owner to have to pay at all.
I think he also pays flat rate prices to various people and catalogues for rights to sample anything they own. He samples a lot of “library music” and he pays WhoSampled.com for them to not publish his samples. You can’t find anything of his on there after 2021 or so. Roc Marci does that too. You can’t find his newer samples on there.
TLDR: ALC is in a financial position to afford to sacrifice money in order to make the music he wants. Most producers aren’t in that position.

This is just all the more reason for these dudes to work with him.
Man if I have to read anymore posts of this White boy being the white savior…

Truth.
He said most people he reaches out to for clearance will work with you, "if you just ask nicely and show them the respect". Q-Tip said the same a little while ago. Problem is, a lot of people sample sh*t and try to be slick and not credit the OG. Or they try to lowball the artist and feel like they shouldn't have to pay for using their sh*t.
u mad son?

I don't know what you all are talking about. This is dope.not Supreme Clientele level but still dope. Anyone expecting it to be as good as the first is crazy. Hardly anybody has made an album that good.

Dunno, it's him trying to redo the Impossible verse. Don't know how I feel about that.

I don't think anyone expected it to be just as good. But ya'll can't be surprised. This is the risk of calling any album a Part 2 instead of just giving it its own name. This would be getting way less criticism if it wasn't called Supreme Clientele 2.
Calling it that is literally trying to get people to compare it to the first one. That's the whole ass point of doing numbered sequels, and it's why they usually are considered letdowns.
I'm not sure realistically RZA involvement is a positive at this point in time, sounds good on paper but what's the last dope beat RZA made? shyt, when's the last time he even made a hip hop track? Maybe shyts flying under my radar but last time I went to his spotify discography to see what hes been up to 8 went back 5 years and it was all movie score stuff
