Ghost didn’t even know what he was talking about on Supreme Clientle

[Billy Ocean]

Y’all nikkas fake asf let this be anyone else not from a particular region and y’all would be talking all types of shyt, that being said I’ve always figured most of these rappity rap nikkas just be saying shyt to rhyme and don’t really be talking bout nothing.

Yall really appreciate this?

This is literally mumble rap

fukk him for this

Y'all nikkas sound salty as fukk that the God made a certified classic and contender for Top 10 GOAT Hip Hop album of all time basically not making sense, meanwhile y'all favorite "rappers" is stone cold addicts that drool garbage over beats on albums that won't ever be mentioned 10 years from now

That's not the same thing man.

Young Thug be auto tune yodeling/screeching and his fans say he's "unlocking flows". Across his entire discography.

Ghost did this on two songs off a 21 track album and people are talking about "'Supreme Clientele' makes no sense!".

Anybody that had trouble understanding "Child's Play" (or hell, 75% of Ghost's songs off any project) probably has a learning disability.

Fred.

You know what, you right. Most the album Ghost is making perfect sense. Going over the tracklist and he's only using that stream of consciousness style on only about 4 tracks.

The man himself said it lol

the mental gymnastics y’all doing is pathetic

 

[RennisDeynolds]

Supreme Cliente is top 5 rap albums of all time, give the gawd a pass

Camp Lo weren’t talking gibberish. They had their own style/slang and mixed it with 70s slang. It was hard to follow but wasn’t gibberish.

And it was a lot of references to old movies and TV shows that I didn't catch until later. Even still, the context gave clues as to what they were talking about.

I didn't really trip over it. "Nutmeg" and "One" are two of my favorite Ghostface songs. Never bothered me that he was just saying whatever.

The crazy part about it is, some rappers are so clever, that they will sprinkle gems in the middle of the nonsense. Like, I'm not bothered by Ghost's "gibberish" because I also like Missy (don't think she's anywhere near as elite as Ghost), but what I'm saying is they will make you feel dumb for not catching a gem. For example, Missy has a line in "Work It" about refusing to be a slave again, but EVERYBODY was focused on what she said backwards among the other nonsensical lyrics in the song. I hated that song when it first came out by the way.

I wonder how this thread would be if someone from the south did this

I'm from The South. Wayne does a lot of stream of consciousness rhyming where some of it doesn't make much sense. He rarely gets called into question for it and a lot of people consider Wayne a great. I'm not a Wayne fan, but that's what I've observed.

 

[Da King]

Only diehard Wu fans would have you believe it was anything more than gibberish, Ghost coming out with this obvious fact shouldn't be news


That's why I laugh at nikkas calling him lyrical

 

[New Jeruzalem Journalist]

I hadn’t read this before (didn’t even know about it), and the review is brilliant

It almost makes me want to read other Pitchfork reviews...almost

I coulda dealt without the Wu-Syndicate and Sunz of Man strays that they got slick with in this article though.

Wayne is criticized all the time for this by people who don’t like him

Keyword: by people who DON'T like him. Therefore, they will find anything to criticize him on.

And people who don’t like ghost face do the same. Only difference is. People mock your taste if u a Wayne and give u brownie points for liking real “Hiphop” rappers.

Nobody mocking no one who likes Wayne the nikka was getting compared to GOAT’s and consistently put in GOAT conversations. And it wasn’t that Wayne would just say stream of consciousness rap. The nikka dead would say some extremely simplistic or straight up Wack ass shyt and people would act like shyt was fire. But overall Wayne gets more love than hate. Y’all are really trying to use this thread to 1. shyt on Ghostface and diminish this album’s legendary status. And 2. Get their NYC hate rocks off. “If the south did this, if the south did that..” Comparing Ghostface to fukking Young Thug of all people. That shyt is disgusting cause there’s no comparison on an emcee level even if u removed them 3 or 4 songs from Ghosts discog. shyt them songs in question are classic tracks. U wouldn’t have gotten The Blueprint and a bunch of shyt after if it wasn’t for this album so u nikka need to chill out.
