Supreme Clientele
Supreme Clientele is a
hardcore rap album by
East Coast hip hop artist and member of the
Wu-Tang Clan Ghostface Killah, released on
January 25,
2000 (see
2000 in music). The album was widely acclaimed and is commonly considered one of the best Wu-Tang solo albums, along with
GZA's
Liquid Swords and
Raekwon's
Only Built 4 Cuban Linx. Unusual for a W-Tang album,
Supreme Clientele is not
producer entirely by the
RZA, who only did three tracks. Relatively unknown Wu-Tang
Inspectah Deck and others did most of the production.
Supreme Clientele peaked at #2 and #7 on Billboard's (North America) Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart and the Billboard 200 list, respectively.
