It’s meant to be a sequel to a 2000 album (I get that) but this honestly sounds like it could have been released back then. If you’re going to lean into a throwback sound, either modernise it or make it exceptional. It's not. After the first stretch of tracks, 'Georgy Porgy' comes on and only reminds me that Lyte pulled it off better three decades ago. 'Rap Kingpin' is one of the stronger cuts, but even that leans on worn-out samples. Using 'My Melody' by Eric B. & Rakim that has been sampled over 150 times! I’ve given the project multiple listens, yet very little sticks, and the unnecessary skits just drag the momentum further down. I generally like Ghostface, but his yelling-like delivery over a whole album can get tiresome. What this album needs is something genuinely catchy, and unfortunately, there isn’t much of that to be found. More drums, another soul sample - is that really all there is? With the lack of engaging hooks to make something stick, the production needs to be of a higher standard.
