Ghostface Killah- Supreme Clientele Part 2

[Bugzbunny129]

Thank you! I felt like i was going crazy.

everywhere people discussing this album are people complaining about it not being like supreme…

Then the songs they complain about, for not being like supreme… are DIRECTLY inspired by supreme.

Crying abour rap kingpin reusing mighty sample…
Mighty was basically a remake of holy war… beat and raps
And now rap kingpin a remake of mighty…

Homie this morning in here talking about “why is ghost rhyming over a full song??? Wtf. This aint supreme at all”…

you mean the style we can directly trace to supreme and EVERY album after…Lmao…


“4th too short” … kinda like “impossible verse” on canadian sc….

“reused samples and breakbeats”. Welcome to ghostface albums. First time?

Complaining about gettung older joints?


Some of these takes… for guys who claim to be fans are just unreal. Theres atleast 10 joints on this worth a listen to any ghostface fan and people acting like its 1 mic album lmao. Same people listen to those fake ghost albums he didnt even write and call those gems

Got people writing reviews of a 60 min album 20 min after it dropped.

Its not a perfect album. Its not out of this world. But its good. But i get why he named it sc2 because its all his beat styles in one. It is nostalgic yetbUpbeat. Fresh per what ghost been giving. Theres a handful of boring songs with eh beats. I dont like the meth track at all. Candyland verses cool beat boring. Nas track im not CRAZY about. Mop song weak. But theres a few string joints.

But i will say. He shoulda least gave us one nutmeg type joint. At the very least.

Curtis may, break beat, metaphysics, ironman, rap kingpin, windows, 4th, beat box, georgie porgie, the zoom… the rae gza joint woulda been better without the extra rappers, soul thang i like too.

I can directly place atleast 10 tracks from it stylistically to different beats from ghosts first 5 albums/wizard with 4-5 to supreme itself, off rip not even thinking. Its a bit of a comp feel but its the first ghost album i enjoyed since wizard of poetry.


Its akin to more fish. Big doe rehab. Not classics. But listenable Good albums wiyj a few strong cuts. The same albums that had people clamoring for a ghost prod wu album… people dont remember that tho.

I agree that the Grammys aren’t super important. The Grammys are largely out of touch rich and famous people way too into themselves and gatekeeping. I’m just ocd and got dragged into the weeds on that. I don’t need the Grammys to tell me what I like or not.

But I do understand why it’d feel good to get that validation if you were an artist. But also fukk the Grammys. And the Oscar’s and the Emmy’s. Award culture is goofy.

Macklemore beat Kendrick and I won't even bother listing all the slights black artists have taken especially in hip hop.

Grammys are irrelevant to art and culture. They're only good for the artist's business.

Ghost is in my top 5 ever but this shyt is trash. Boring samples. Horrible mixing. shyt sounds like it was recorded in a broom closet. All the sounds in the beats feel like they're competing with eachother. Like that "Curtis may" track. It's actually a dope sample, but the keys are so drowned out by that loud ass cymbal hit. That shyt is jarring as fukk and literally hurts the ears. There's no excuse for this. They coulda found some no name engineer off YouTube and gave him pennies to clean this shyt up.

Young Guru mixed this...garbage so-called engineer!

 

[Crumple]

I just don't get why the knuckles skit is named knuckles, Ghost calls him knuckles, Knuckles was on sc1 yet he calls himself "Buckles".

????

And yes we know who that is.

 

[Crumple]

Second listen today, this album is great.

Grimy.

5th listen and I genuinely like this albm no fandom, but I do agree with y'all calling it SC2 is a stretch but I get it, Nems said him and Ghost did other joints too and Nems is the one in the outro if it isnt obvious

This is a cool late career Ghost album, the best thing he's released in years, but calling it Supreme Clientelle 2 wasn't needed, it raises expectations too high and I don't think he met them.

Need to give it more spins but there are definitely some highs. Nas bodied his feature as per usual. I really liked "You Ma Friend" dope concept.

 

[Piff Perkins]

Love Me Anymore is dope, really like the Nas verse on there.

Once I viewed this as more of a Lost Tapes, the more I appreciated it. I’m not mad at him calling it SC2 though—one, it gets our attention and builds hype (even if people view it as false advertising), but more importantly, it forced him to take it seriously.

Put the title and SC expectations aside, and this is a really dope album to me. It feels weird hearing the different eras of his voice, but the most important thing to me is that this feels well engineered for a collection of old tracks. It could’ve easily been all over the place in audio quality, but for the most part every single track knocks well in the whip. I feel like despite being a collection of tracks scattered across eras, they did a good job bringing a uniformity in sonic quality.

If Ghost putting pressure on himself by calling this SC2 is what it took to get us this collection of tracks, I’m glad he went that route. Also loved how the album finished strong (IMO) and didn’t taper off. The Trial was dope (GZA still sounds energized!), the Nas track was dope, Soul Thang was a cool posse freestyle cut, Metaphysics gave me Be Easy energy, Candyland was like Kilo Pt. 2, The Zoom was another Holla type track, and Meth sounded good on You My Friend (which sounds like it could be an early 2000s Dr. Dre collab).

I’m sure many will disagree, and I’m not saying it’s on the level of Fishscale, but this is bringing back the feeling I had listening to that when it came out. Listening in the headphones the first time and not getting Supreme Clientele was a disappointment. But a couple spins in the whip with an adjusted perspective after reading a few posts on here completely changed my experience with this album.

And at “the dikk don’t fit, they calling it an acquittal.”

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Agreed about calling this SC2 raising the expectations probably too much. Minus a couple obvious homages to SC2, it probably would’ve fared better calling it Apollo Kids 2. I did like that album a good amount, and that was known as more of a b-side type album.

 

[Mikeatris]

What are the reused beats besides metaphysics (which ghost had 10 years before Meyhem/AB)?

Windows

4th listen and more songs are growing on me..strange album this is!

Patience is key.

 

[mrvaughn]

On about my 5th listen.

I do like it...It’s good...It’s 2025 good.

The Mass Appeal promo would have been enough.

Bad move calling it SC2. Only welcomes bad publicity / reactions.
