WTF was Ghost talking about on Supreme Clientele?

[Travellin' Man]

Yea I think the way he rhymed was very abstract to the point it was off putting to a lot of people. Hell Rae still rhymes abstract as hell, not as deep as Ghost on this album, but Rae definitely circles back to SC era Ghost at times.

Word
Yeah, Raekwon isn't nearly as abstract with the rhyming as Ghostface was on Supreme Clientele.

I remember him and Rae joking about coming up with their own slang and who started it first. I think ghost said he got it from Rae

 

[Jesus Is Lord]

I listen to it often. I watched that one mafia docuseries on Netflix and it had the song that was sampled for Buck 50. Had to run the whole album after that

Did the same thing

 

[CarltonJunior]

I remember when I first heard it I was like what kind of shyt is this.

This nikka ain't no real lyricism, half this shyt is a bunch of nonsense.

But then your head start noddin and then it all clicks

 

[Metal Face]

Hold up, we at the opera, Queen Elizabeth rub on my leg
Had ketchup on her dress from a whopper
Chunky ass necklace, must be her birthstone
John Paul cop the biggest stones outta Rome
So Charles, eyes up on her prince, fukking with Diana
Two rows across, Dirty giving hickeys to Vianna White
Fingering Pamela Lee, we on the balcony



20 Years of Greatness

Rip
Superb

 

[NoHalfWay]

The way the nikka Ghost rap so hungry it don’t even matter if you don’t know wtf he talkin bout

 

[MeachTheMonster]

Aiyyo, crash thru, break the glass, Tony with the goalie mask
That's the pass, heavy ice Roley layin on the dash
Love the grass, cauliflower hurtin when I dumped the trash
Sour mash surgeon, heavy glass up at the Wally bash
Sunsplash, autograph blessin with your name slashed
Backdraft, four-pounders screamin with the pearly hats
Children fix the contrast as the sound clashes
Mrs. Dash, sprinkle wit her icicle eyelash
Ask Cap or Pendergrass for backstage passes
Special guest, no more Johnny Blaze, Johnny Mattress
Acrobat, run up on that Love Jones actress
Distract the cat while I'm high sugar get a crack at this
dikkin down Oprah, jumprope, David Dinkins
Watch the Black mayor of DC, hit them open
Tangerine sofa, two super soakers in the Rover
Hit the sport's bar, tell a young lady to bend over
Meditated yoga, powder ball, dancin with the vulture
Castor Troy layin for Travolta
Yo, switch the lingo, five-nine-seventy
God glow, seven-fifteen, fall be heavenly

Still one of the Goat verses ever spat.

Young me spent hours on end trying the decipher this amazing display of lyrical wizardry.

 

[Dak Pickscott]

I don't listen to this album I study it

 

[diggy]

Was running through this today. Went on a Wu Binge again after the pic was posted with GFK, Cappa and Meth.

 

[Sniper]

Still one of the Goat verses ever spat.

Agreed

 

[Awesome Wells]

Whole album was straight mathematics.

Beyond classic!

 

[I'm Blackman]

But as a song, as one completely coherent song, what does it all mean?

 

[Travellin' Man]

He put some of the words together in a very unique way, but as a song, it was incoherent.

 

[Complexion]

GFK stay making that green / People on The Coli say, "What the hell does that mean?"
