I done already hit up Raekwon to try to do an old school, grimey Raekwon and Ghostface project, but I curate it. I could do something for Anderson .Paak. Switch it all the way up. Melanie Charles. Somebody that could just sing, got a beautiful voice, and could play instruments. Then I just come and provide the soundtrack and we just cook up and add those crazy MCs on top of this shyt and make it special. I’m about to start doing all of that now. It’s not even about me no more. I don’t have to rhyme to still give you those same results.

How receptive are Jada, Rae, and Ghost to doing those projects?

100% ready. It’s about time. We all grown. We all got businesses and families. We not no spring chickens. We got so much shyt going on. Ever since Jada did the Dipset and Lox Verzuz, he’s been on fire, doing his appearances and all of that. And you know, Rae and Ghost, they about to go on tour. So they’ve been doing these shows, and they’ve been back in the studio cooking, just getting a feel of shyt. So you never know when it’s going to be, but they want to. As I know that’s what they want to, I can already start cooking, getting beats together. When they’re like, “Yo, I got a two week pocket,” I already got the soundtrack. All they got to do is put the rhymes on.

I don't like AA Rashid features. He's the most fake deep interlude dropping fool of all time. Pure nonsensical shyt. Like an incoherent big rube. I can't forget the way he butchered the wolf licking the blade analogy on one of the albums. Horrible. And considering that was already done so well on the dead Prez album why even bother?

I just needed to share that. He don't add nothing to these joints but nonsense. He don't need to be at the end of Amira Kitchen.

:camby:
I knew him in real life. Dude is a jerk.

Nah, I love his interludes. The one he did for Mach is classic:

"I was once told...that all space programs derive themselves from Africa. I am also instructed that... my culture is rooted in myth and that it is with art and poetry that we...shape...reality. What you call reality is rooted in myth. The tree that you eat from is actually upside down and the roots are in the sky. I must remind you that I have saw...spaceships... before...and that all space programs are from Africa." :ohhh::wow:

:pachaha:

nikkas still wanna make Ghostface comparisons, these are the type of beats Ghostface should be rhyming over :manny:
Dream is dead breh. Ghost out here doing beat exchanges for studio time with white boys. It's over. He's not spending dough on dope beats just for fans at a show to demand to only hear old shyt. It is what it is...

Also yo....this Tom Sos dude dope. Nice breath of fresh air from the super gangsta nikka bars from everyone else.

Some Quick thoughts off first listen.

These random Mr Green, AI 45 second instrumentals are pointless. Waste of a slot. shyt's Lazy. you know that Mr Green cat can actually drop heat too tho Part Deux w West is nice as fukk, one of my favourites joints.

Heel Cena is Super Nice. Cee Gee with another one!

Amira's Kitchen is smoothe AF w them Jazzy Vibes. i like this one a lot. However there's No need for another fake deep AA Rashid 3 minute Yapping session tho. I could have done without him droning on for that long. Other than that i fukk w the track heavily.

2 for 2 so far.

These next bunch of joints might sound like im being picky but bare with me

Power House Hobbs beat just sounds like NOISE to me. I dunno if that will make any sense. it just sounds like something we heard before 100 times. It does nothing for me i feel like i heard this joint a thousand times over before. if you told me this was a Daringer leftover from Reject 2 i would believe you but i know its Denny. saying that Wes' & Benny GO IN tho.

Mandela sounds simple, Looped & Light, Conductor coming with the minimal. again the production is nothing special here imo.

Brikolai, More of the samey type of production. Doesn't really sound like Harry Fraud Typical Production

Aunt Gina. The Production is super basic here. I wasn't Expecting Skyzoo to be on this. - This whole hidden Feats trend needs to go. Pleasantly Surprised w Skyzoo's feat here but then again He Never had a bad joint w anyone from Griselda, What's this now like his 10th Collab with the GxFr crew? No misses. A Skyzoo Album Curated by WSG would be tough.
Glowrealah - More of the same again, really, at this point i just sound like i'm hating. i do like this project i swear :russ:


Prick - Denny hitting us w some Melancholy Piano, I fukk with it. this joint is nice. Simple but it works. I like Brother Tom Sos on this one. I do wonder what the hook would have sounded like if it was Stove Instead tho. This might be my favourite joint on here so far.

Demna Left Balenci - See everything ive said before Prick to get my feelings on this one. Damn this was Muggs?

Blow Hendry - I kinda like this joint, i dont know alot about this MIKE cat im not sure if i like his monotone voice or not.

Love you Part 2 - its an outro of Wes' talking his shyt, standard album closer.


For me this one was a mixed bag but im still glad we got it.

Maybe it'll resonate more with me after a few spins.


Would have liked to have heard a lot more of those recent 45 leaked joints finished and polished up and added to this if im honest. i know we got a few of em on here completed

Cee Gee might be my favourite Prod. for WSG right now. Looking forward to hearing more of his production on the next few projects.

Overall though this is yet Another Solid Project from Wes, Rhyming wise i know he aint the strongest but Somehow he stays outshining both Benny & Conway these days in overallness of an album if that makes sense, where as at one point all three i would place on par with each other & couldn't decide who my favourite was from the OG three.
