this album passed every listening test for me, at the gym, with blunts, with a cigar. Listened over a dozen times now.

Production was solid, rhymes and lyrics were top notch as usual. Obviously Nas killed it, ghost did his thing. But the standout to me was Meth, he killed and sounded sharper than ever. Would love to see meth lock in the studio with 1 producer and get an album.

Solid solid 4 mic album.

Sour Soul is an extremely great album, I sure hope he wrote that.
Tbh i never even gave it s chance because i just assumed. I heard all the others and knew instantly somethin was up and worked it out.

But thats one i still didnt listen. Could be real. I know a lot of people love that album over the rest so maybe

Love this album. BBNG are a dope jazz band, and Ghostface had a perfect take on it. It sounds like he freestyled it which works with the live feel of the album. Not his most amazing project lyrically but its a vibe.

Would love to hear them do a sequel.

Thats cuz hes really not washed. He just has a team doing all his side shyt.

I wonder sometimes about the coli. Yall really listen to albums like

12 reasons - …
36 seasons - …
Sour soul - …
Wu block - sheek
Lost tapes - wiggs
Czarface
Etc

And think ghost actually wrotethose? Those were full projects made ahead of time for him.


Ghost has wiggs, sheek, solomon, trife, shooter93, nems … people you wouldnt even expect and would be mad at writing songs for him. He dont gaf. Supreme 2 he does.

Last ghost album was wizard of poetry

The rapper rae worked with on the wild said he wrote the entire project except one verse. Hence why i hate it.

When ghost gets incredibly vivid. Like kendrick verse. Or cold outside cuban 2, etc. thats ghostface

If its a cheap collab or warmup album project, even a real one , expect others. These were checks. Tbis how they feed the team. Anyone who knows the rappers should be able to tell.

Ghost has a real verse on here. And one that me and my boy isuspect is someone i listed above.

But its only a guess.

But I know for a fact those albums above werent written by him.

Thank you.
I've been saying this for years.

And no, apart from the first lines of that verse, he didn't write that one either lol.

Oh well.
Ghost is (was) Ghost.

Sour Soul is dope musically and has some nice features, but Ghost is totally checked out and on autopilot on the album.

I have never heard of Ghost or Rae using writers, especially not for whole albums :dahell:

Have you got anything to back these claims up?
