On this date in 2000, Ghostface Killah of the legendary Wu-Tang Clan dropped his second full-length album, Supreme Clientele, marking a defining moment in his career and Hip-Hop history. As the highly anticipated follow-up to his Ironman debut, this album solidified Ghostface as one of the most innovative and lyrically dynamic MCs in the game.
With Supreme Clientele, Ghostface delivered a masterclass in storytelling, wordplay, and raw energy, earning widespread critical acclaim. Many regard it as not only his best work but also one of the greatest Hip-Hop albums of all time. Overseen by RZA, the album’s production featured contributions from The Beatnuts’ Juju, Inspectah Deck, and DJ Allah Mathematics, giving it a unique and cinematic soundscape.
Fueled by standout singles like “Apollo Kids” and “Cherchez La Ghost,” the album quickly became a commercial success, achieving gold status within just two months. Beyond the numbers, Supreme Clientele remains a testament to Ghostface’s lyrical genius and the Wu-Tang Clan’s lasting influence on the culture.
25 years later, we salute Ghostface Killah, RZA, and the entire Wu-Tang Clan for delivering this timeless classic that continues to inspire generations. Wu-Tang forever!
