Amazon.co.uk Review
A spell locked-up 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 sophomore set, Supreme Clientele. Musically, the album is a juiced-up model of the template provided by Ironman, over which Ghostface delivers a sermon of sexual healing and violent provocation pitched precariously somewhere between Marvin Gaye and Malcolm X. "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. --Chris Campion

Customer Reviews

I've Always Been A Client {5 Stars}
I mean, really, all the reviews here pretty much sum up the album. Ghostface Killah's sophomore effort is on par with all the Wu Tang solo debuts -- Liquid Swords, Cuban Linx, Tical, etc. Though you'd guess the opposite, RZA only contributes two tracks to the entire album. Surprisingly, the production is handled by several other producers -- some in house, others not. The likes of Black-Moes-Art, Inspectah Deck, The Beatnuts, Carlos "Six July" Broady, Ron Banks, Mathematics, Hasan, The Blaquesmiths, and a couple others all contribute excellent beats to the album. There really isn't much to get into from there if you're at all familiar with Wu Tang emcees and their particular styles. Tony Starks' outrageous slang is in its peak form here and the guest appearances are all great.

As far as flaws, well, really, I can't think of any. I mean, some could go on about the skits but, personally, I loved them all -- especially the Clyde Smith skit where he disses 50 Cent. Hilarious stuff, man.

Anyway, Supreme Clientele should be in your collection if you're at all familiar with the Wu. The production is classic Wu even without RZA producing the bulk of it and Brother Starks was on top of his game and razor sharp when he dropped this joint. I highly, highly recommend adding this album to your music library.

Standout Tracks: Cherzchez LaGhost feat. U God, Ghost Deini feat. Superb, Mighty Healthy, One, Saturday Nite, Wu Banga 101 feat. GZA, Raekwon, Cappadonna, & Masta Killah, Nutmeg feat. RZA, and Buck 50 feat. Cappadonna, Method Man, Masta Killah, & Redman

Thought it was first round.
This is the only Wu tang album to come from the second round of releases that is on the same level and the originals. I love the track Childs Play the beat uses a really nice sample, which is why is a favorite. Nutmeg well blow your mind, i have heard it 100 times and still dont know everything word he says because hes insane on that track. One and Ghost Deini are amazing track with hard hitting beats and dope lyrics. Buck 50 is a nice wu tang group song and Might Healthy is some of the realest i ever heard. Malcolm is another amazing track that has to be heard by all hip hop heads. Get this album because its some of Ghosts best work, Maybe better then Ironman

No sophomore jinx here!!!!!
It had been 3-4 years since Ghostface blessed hip hop with his debut album Ironman. Anticipation, in my view @ least, was high for Ghostface's second album, Supreme Clientele, and when it was finally released, I was like, finally it's here. First things first, this album was world's different than his Ironman album, but that doesn't mean Supreme Clientele, and in this case, Clientele is in no way a bad album on any level. Ghost was trying to reach the masses on this one, but he didn't go commercial or abandon his initial style.

Ghost couldn't have selected a better list of producers for this album. Production is handled well by The Rza, and also big names like Carlos Broady (P.Diddy's Hitmen), JuJu from The Beatnuts, Mathematics, etc. Other not so well known names like The Blaquesmiths and Choo the Specializt contributed well also. I've been asked on more than one occasion which album is better between this and Ironman, and to this day, I still can't give a definite answer because that's how good both of the albums are. Both albums have what you're looking for in a classic album, so you can't ask for more than that. Strongly recommended.
