Ghostface Killah "Supreme Clientele"

"Supreme Clientele", which was released on February 8, 2000 by Epic Records, is the second studio album of American rapper and Wu-Tang Clan member Ghostface Killah. The album highlights Ghostface's unique and fast-paced style of rhyming and features appearances from a number of well-known artists, such as Cappadonna, GZA, Masta Killa, Method Man, Raekwon, Redman, RZA, and U-God. The album also includes affiliates of what would eventually become members of Theodore Unit and T.M.F.

The majority of the album's production is handled by RZA, who remixed and reworked beats from other producers in order to create a consistent sound for the album. Upon its release, Supreme Clientele debuted at number seven on the Billboard 200 chart and number two on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, selling 134,000 copies in its first week. It was later certified Gold by the RIAA in March 2000.

Despite its stark contrast in sound and style compared to his previous album Ironman, "Supreme Clientele" received generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised Ghostface Killah's innovative and imaginative lyricism, as well as the album's cohesive production. It is often considered one of Ghostface Killah's best works, along with Ironman and Fishscale, and is also highly regarded as one of the best solo Wu-Tang albums. Rolling Stone ranked it at number 403 on their list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2020.

The recording process for the album began in 1998 and took place at various studios in New York and Florida. However, it was interrupted when Ghostface Killah served a prison sentence at Riker's Island for a 1995 charge he got at the Palladium nightclub in New York. Despite this setback, he and RZA were able to complete the album once he was released.
