Ghostface Killah- Supreme Clientele Part 2

[BmoreGorilla]

Yeah this sounds like it should be Hidden Darts part 2

Curious about @BmoreGorilla 's thoughts...

Was listening to it at work. It’s not a BAD album but it was put together so lazy. You can easily tell which songs are old and which are not. I didn’t have much expectations anyway cuz Ghost fell off to me years ago. Idk why people thought just putting the name Supreme Clientele on the album was gonna make a difference

nikkas bugging shytting on this. Album is mostly dope. I do think him calling it something along the lines of "Lost Tapes" and not SC2 would make for a better reception, but it IS the closest thing to SC. Just like SC, it's soul samples, familiar breaks and Hip-Hop staples combined with Ghost rapping on them. Ghost is rapping really well on almost all of this, the guests are good except a couple cats on the posse cut (Nems put in 100% effort, he was NOT fukking up this opportunity). The biggest knock is the lack of free thought, Nutmeg style verses. THAT is the biggest offense, people asked if he would do any, he said verbatim "it's nothing" to go back to that. I think 2 over some fire beats would have done it, and this would be the true SC2.

Could it use RZA? Of course.
Could it use some better production in spots? Yes, but nothing is flagrantly bad.
More Wu guest spots/Wu posse cut? Absolutely

It still conveys the SC spirit. 2nd best sequel album behind Cuban Linx 2. I can tell a lot of you are young or don't know 80s Hip-Hop because most of this is intentional just like the 1st SC.

I give it 4 mics first listen. No skips.

That sh!t ride

 

[Spidey Man]

I should have known this would end badly after the intro. Reggie probably knew it would be weak, and that's why he only did an intro.

I haven't been able to get though a complete listening yet. It just feels like a lazy cash grab.

The original was not about some familiar samples that everybody knew. If this was mixtape I could accept it. But not Supreme Clientale 2. And what's up with all these skits? This is a one and done for me.

Pretty sure he meant Westside Gunn

THE OTHER FASHION NAZI?!

 

[semicko82]

This was cool. Nowhere near the OG Supreme Clientele, but not bad at all

 

[DaHNIC82]

I overall enjoyed it. The MOP song had me concerned but he pulled it off.

 

[W.I.Z.E.]

First like 60% of the album is Ghost, voice change and all, throwing high energy darts like.

We made it work over baby's stove
Flights to St. Lucia (Yeah)
Hid the coke in the baby clothes
Crushed ecstasy stuffed in the line in the bibs
Your head mounted on the wall in the crib
All we do is sit back and laugh, crack beers
Hang my keys on your face, sitting next to a deer

Then the last part is cool but noticeably different than the other part.

Yall bugging comparing this to Fishscale...no way is this close to that album

It's not bad though but you can definitely tell Ghost was going for a Supreme Clientele feel but it just doesn't hit the same. SC was lightning in a bottle you can just create something like that, it has to be universally created.

Off one listen it feels good having a competent Ghostface album to listen to again but I'll probably keep a few songs and enjoy those.

Yeah Fishscale is either a true classic or as close as it gets

He has zero

But I get the point

It says 9th wonder has zero too but I’ve literally seen them in his house. 9th has Grammys for duck worth and one other song. If you produce anything on an album that wins, you get one. 9th introduced himself as “Grammy award winning producer 9th Wonder” for years. Evidence also has a Grammy for College Dropout. He produced (or coproduced depending on how you view it) Last Call

Fishscale is my 3rd fave from Ghots, loved that album.

9th has at least two Grammys.

One for producing a song for Mary J Blige the year she won best R&B album. The second is when Damn won best rap album and he produced Duckworth.

Not sure why a Grammy matters in hip hop. It's not like someone like Alchemist would get a nomination when they never recognized groups like Mobb Deep.

I agree that the Grammys aren’t super important. The Grammys are largely out of touch rich and famous people way too into themselves and gatekeeping. I’m just ocd and got dragged into the weeds on that. I don’t need the Grammys to tell me what I like or not.

But I do understand why it’d feel good to get that validation if you were an artist. But also fukk the Grammys. And the Oscar’s and the Emmy’s. Award culture is goofy.
