'' is the second album by
Wu-Tang Clan member
Ghostface Killah , an
American Hip Hop artist. It was released on
January 25 ,
2000 (see
2000 In Music ) on Razor Sharp/Epic/SME Records, catalog number EK 63925 in the US, 491955 internationally, and ESCA-8069 in Japan.
The album was widely acclaimed and is commonly considered one of the best Wu-Tang solo albums, along with
GZA 's ''
Liquid Swords '' and
Raekwon 's ''
Only Built 4 Cuban Linx ''. Unusual for a Wu-Tang album, ''Supreme Clientele'' is not
Produced entirely by The
RZA , who only did three tracks. Wu-Tang member
Inspectah Deck and others did most of the production.
It should be noted that the track orders of the booklet and outer inlay of the album cover do not match, nor do they agree with the CD’s final track listing, which does not include “In the Rain,” listed as track #4 in the inner booklet of the US version, produced by Ron Banks and featuring the
Dramatics .
''Supreme Clientele'' peaked at #2 and #7 on
Billboard 's (North America) Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart and the Billboard 200 list, respectively.
