    I liked this album a lot. Honestly ghostface always been my favorite and he rarely disappoints but funny you mention that bustah album cuz when I saw all the features I was worried for a minute this one might lean that way. While I did like the first half better in general, I rock with the second part too. I like how he approached the project and I feel like this ones gonna get a lot of replay value for me ( I still play that ghostdini album too for what its worth💯)

      That Ghostdeini had some joints on there. Maybe some of the second half will grow on me..but I do know it didn’t sound as bad as the Busta or that Lobby Boyz project when they tried to do it lol.

    This is was a solid project. I give it a strong 4. Not a classic but a dope album. It's like a combination between Ghostdini the Wizard of Poetry and the Pretty Toney album. I think the direction was intentional because he wanted to do something that catered to his old fans, todays hip hop fans and his female fan base; which he's had since day one.

    • @hip-hophistorybuff

    Great review as always G. I’m a huge Ghost fan and I agree the first half is definitely miles better than the second part. Which is a little bit of a disappointment since I usually like his R&B type joints a lot, but a lot of those type of joints he had on the second half of the album weren’t really that great vibe we usually get from him on those type of records. Though I will say a few of those ones did lean more into a pop and/or radio type sound that I wasn’t really feeling.
    My favorite tracks are the same except that I would swipe Scar Tissue for YUPP! I can’t stand that one, but love Scar Tissue a lot. Which I’m surprised you didn’t like the instrumental for and I’m going to say you are nitpicking at cause it has that perfect triumphantly cinematic feel of that fits their verse’s like a 🧤 That joint with Meth is really dope and I agree he was definitely the MVP of. He had a great feature on Conway’s album too. Which I’m assuming we are going to get a review on soon too, right?

      Yeah, I love R&B. But those tracks aren't R&B. They're lacking soul, they're pop. Spice 1's new album on the other hand, that had some actual R&B, hip-hop soul. Check it out if you haven't already!

    Album was OK. My issue with the R&B songs which make a large portion of the 2nd half of the album... These songs sound dated like the type of radio songs you'd hear in the late 00's early 10's... that Akon, T Pain era.

    • @Aenigmakil
      @Aenigmakil 6 місяців тому +1

      Yeah. They're not even R&B. They're pop. 2010s didn't know what R&B was. If these had been actual R&B songs, hip-hop soul, I think we'd all love it. I Ain't Mad At Ya comes to mind. Or more recent, Yesterday from the new Spice 1 album. Soulful.

I see supreme as his most polished album , like nas it was written, I think ghost has it lyrically to make a classic album still yet I don’t think a supreme 2 will rival the first . Just like if it was a it was written 2 . I think he should just leave it alone like nas did and just make great albums after supreme

    This is what we have to understand this is more of a mixtape but it sounded great to me you know yeah I could have done without some of the low budget r&b guys and a production wasn't all that good I like the production from ghostface Killers CD what I like this but I believe this is just like a mixtape he was just experimenting which is okay but I believe supreme clientele is going to be the return of the production we all are looking for at least I hope so cuz I know lyrically it's going to be top-notch it's just the production and and the concept I like to r&b stuff but I can do with just two r&b tracks and the rest ghostface grimy tracks

    Good review bro. Ghost is in my top 5 of all time. He hasn’t lost it at all pause and still sounds hungry. All the Wu cats been sounding hungry especially ghost and meth. I think the first half is dope. The second half is cool but he should have saved that for a separate r&b project like ghostdini. If the second half continued in the same fashion and was cohesive with the first half it would have been a lot better. But all around a great return to form album for Tony Starks. Looking forward to see what he’s cooking with SC 2 and Purple Tape 3 with the chef.
