Product Description

Since the release of the Wu-Tang debut, ENTER THE 36 CHAMBERS, Wu-lovers have been treated to a series of solo efforts from individual Clan member. Though all have been strong efforts, only a select handful have proven worthy of standing anywhere near that classic group debut.
SUPREME CLIENTELE,the sophomore album from the Wally-wearing Ghostface Killah, is one of those rare Wu solo efforts to fall into the latter class. With the RZA as the overseer, this album is a triumphant reminder of the influence that the Staten Island-based crew has had on the rap game. Ghost drops jewels of criminology and street ethics over basement-flavoured production. And with its various Wu-appearances, SUPREME CLIENTELE is also a glimpse of what the Wu promises to bring in the 21st century.

Amazon.co.uk Review
A spell in Rikers obviously hasn't done Ghostface Killah any harm. The Wu member remains as grounded as ever in the realities of life on his second set Supreme Clientele. Musically, the album is a juiced-up model of the classic soul prototype provided by "Iron Man", over which Ghostface delivers a sermon of sexual healing and violent provocation, pitched precariously somewhere in between Marvin Gaye and Malcolm X. The intro plays out over a vintage voiceover from an Iron Man Saturday-morning cartoon, then jumps straight into "Nutmeg", where the repeated groove of a soul classic provides the perfect stuttering accompaniment for Ghostface to spit a selection of nasty, nanotech-constructed rhymes. "Apollo Kids" pastes together a dramatic backdrop from orchestrated musical punctuation marks, while the primitive R&B grunt of "The Grain" sounds like it could have been recorded live at the Apollo. And over the rest ofSupreme Clientele's 60-odd minutes, Ghostface keeps the classics coming like a real pro. --Chris Campion

This was my first killah album and iv been a fan ever since he's never made a bad album and for that he should be seen as one of the best yet im sick of people going on about 50 this and 50 that he made one okay album and thats about it,so do yourself a favour and buy this album YES real hip hop.

Please Read
wu tang clan came out in 1993 with kung fu influenced album 36 chambers [named after 1978 movie] , which led them to hip hop domination. After the flawless debut , they dropped 3 solo albums at similar level. Gza with liquid swords in 95 along with raeks cuban linx .And year before that with tical by method man.

All albums were magnificent , 1996 brought fourth ghostface killah solo debut ironman. Another wu banga . However as hip hop slowly became more mainstream , everyones wonderin if they could drop another clasis , as a group they did , which was 1997 wu tang forever.

On solo terms late 1999 ghostface came out with his second "supreme clientele " , which was superior to his debut via production and lyricals. Belive me if you have previous wu classics , then this one is up their witth them. Easily one of the greatest albums of the 21st centuary . And top 5 of best wu albums. For wu fans this is a must have. I slept on this record for a very long time !! , dont make the same mistake . I reccomend this to ironman .
