I think Supreme Clientele is the only album on here I've heard all the way through. So i aint gonna vote but it defintely was a good album as far as production goes. The Wu Tang skits ive heard usually have music playing in the background so i dont mind them. But I'd say Ironman's production did it for me more than this album's.

 

[DMZ]

I already know my coli brehs gonna put Supreme Clientele on its rightful throne

shoutout to Like Water For Chocolate and Deltron 3030 though, some great production laced on those joints

 

[Xtz23]

I think production for albums in the previous threads/years were better as whole projects.

Best production: supreme clientele, hnic, anarchy (not every track but the beats that were good are classic) & restless.

I chose hnic

Best album: supreme clientele

 

[old boy]

i voted for my man hov, love the production on that album

 

[DreadBrown]

I voted Supreme Clientele for Childs Play just cuz Its one of my all time favourite beats.

Best overall album I’d say Wyclef Ecleftic or Xzibit Restless.

Clef is slept on as a producer I put him above Quik

 

[I love Latina women]

Balance & Options

 

[SirBiatch]

Supreme Clientele and it's not close to be honest.

I'd choose Fantastic Vol 2 after that.

 

[Inspect Her Deck]

Between Supreme Clientele and LWFC, but learning towards the former. Production was more varied and unique. Album being better overall probably sways my opinion in Supreme's favour anyway. It gets my vote.

 

[Dontay Flaco]

Supreme Clientele , The Unseen, Fantastic Vol 2

This is tough!

 

[BigSteve]

Off that list, Supreme Clientele

But

Three 6 Mafia - When the Smoke Clears: Sixty 6, Sixty 1

 

[Billy Ocean]

Supreme without a doubt.

 

[oO J Smooth Oo]

supreme clientele/train of thought

 

[Jack Skellington]

No competition - Stankonia. It's also one of the GOAT produced hip hop albums PERIOD.

 

[Waterproof]

Reflection Eternal

 

[CrushedGroove]

Supreme Clientele was just on some other shyt. Ghost went through some things and they laced him properly.
After that, I gotta go with LWFC, Reflection Eternal, Quik, and Stankonia.
