Album Reviews: Rolling Stone (p.60) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Ghostface's emotionally charged stream-of-consciousness flow is off-the-wall and amazing as it's ever been."
Advantages: Smooth beats, and lyrics from the best lyrical writer in the Wu Tang! Disadvantages: Old fans of Ghostface won't enjoy the R 'n' B tracks
...ears but instead will expect the same sort of beats as were on Supreme Clientele. This is why I strongly recommend this album to anyone that has thought of buying GhostfaceKillah’s albums who doesn’t previously own any.
The bridges on the album are varying. There are a wide range of them ranging from R ‘n’ B ones as we can see in Love session whereas Walking Through The Darkness sees Ghostface mixing old skool style choruses with new skool rapping patterns. This variation really adds flavour to the album because there is so much variation amongst the songs and it also shows that Ghostface is a well-rounded artist and this is probably what he wanted to establish in Supreme Clientele.
Supreme Clientele is a well-rounded album. There are some real nice songs that fans of Supreme Clientele will enjoy such as Flowers...

Advantages: Hip Hop Legend Lyrics Disadvantages: Not the old ghostface
...You shouldn't be surprised if your favorite rapper's favorite rapper is GhostfaceKillah. There aren't too many people that have defined originality and innovation like Ghostface. With Wu-Tang's failed attempt at a successful comeback -- 8 Diagrams was highly anticipated, yet highly forgettable -- people wondered if Ghostface would suffer the same faith of his group's last project. However, his personality and creativeness are too bright to be dimmed; The Big Dough Rehab easily picks up where Fishscale left off.
"At The Cabana Skit" kicks off The Big Doe Rehab the right way. Ghost has a knack for being a comical tuff guy, via his interludes and skits, and his personality shines bright on this one. After some light-hearted lyricism on the opening skit, Ghost gets down to business. Beanie Sigel stops by on "Toney Sigel AKA The Barrel...

Advantages: Some great beats, apperances by some great names Disadvantages: Some songs just suck
...GhostfaceKillah has shown potential since the first Wu-tang album (in fact they all did). He was actually one of my favorite rappers around for a time in my life but after I heard this album my mind was changed. Now don’t get me wrong this album is still a good one it’s just when I’m dealing with Wu-Tang I get very strict in the ratings. In fact most of the second attempts done by a Wu-tang artists haven’t been so good, though they have sold more copies (you figure it out). Now the first thing that caught my eye was the horrible production done on the booklet that came with the CD. The songs were out of place; they even mentioned some songs that weren’t on the album. There are only 15 songs but if you look at the total tracks on the CD there are about 21 tracks, there were some interludes that came...
