Guidelines This is an open thread for you to share your thoughts on the album. The once slumbering Wu-Tang strikes again. Ghostfaces Supreme Clientele is a step toward the Wu-Tang Clans ascent from the ashes of their fallen kingdom. While the album is complete and characteristically Wu-sounding, each track is distinctive lyrically, thematically, and sonically. RZAs best composition is the piano-driven, double-entendre-laced childhood retrospective Childs Play. On this effort, the Wu-Pupil producers at times seem to outdo their teacher.
This album has RZAs stamp all over it, but the guru himself only provides three tracks. Some of the Wus slump could be contributed to Wu-Abbotts (aka RZA) relative sabbatical. Just as the Wu empire appeared to be crumbling, along came the second installment from the Clans spitfire element, Ghostface Killah (aka Tony Starks, aka Ironman).Įvery bit as good as his first release, Supreme Clientele proves Ghosts worthiness of the Ironman moniker by deftly overcoming trendiness to produce an authentic sound in hip-hops age of bland parity.

I wasnt old enough to fully process it at the time, but I know that from the run of 36 Chambers to Forever, Wu Tang Clan ruled the world. His storytelling is top-notch and incredible showing in cuts such as Maxine, The Watch, or The Forest. This album showed Ghost at the top of his game proving that he is one of the greatest emcees of all-time. Due to the label problems, the albums flow and cohesiveness got fucked up big time.
