I listen to SC a lot more today than I do Ironman so that's why I chose it but you can't go wrong with either. Ghost is one of the few MC's that has 2 undeniable classics.

Supreme Clientele by far.

Ironman to me is a second-rate Cuban Linx. Very dope for what it is, but Clientele is special. There's no Wu album like it.

Any real head would know that IRONMAN is the correct choice. RZA was at his peak sonically and tracks like Soul Controller, Iron Maiden, Assassination Day and Box In Hand aren't even the popular joints from that album but are some the thoroughest tracks to come from the Wu catalogue.

:what:

the fukk does that even mean? Heads prefer whichever album they prefer. There isn't a right or wrong answer here.

too hard to choose, ive seen a great argument that supreme takes it because of the way rza and ghost worked on that album to get its unique sound and flow, and you can hear it, That album is its own entity and nothing else really sounds like it.

in Saying that though , ironman is such an obvious classic. The way Fish and Camay roll into each other..I swear that was the moment I knew this was going to be one of my favourite albums till the day i die.

whooooooooooo primitme now we talking now this is a toughie

prime GFK

oh boy this is a serious problem


so both albums were classic but SC had more of a mainstream impact due to cherchez la ghost

Skits
is really a toss up ...........we have the ironman intro "burn him" just me n u motherfukker i put trademarks around your fukking eye"

VS
SC
crackhead woodrow skit ...................suzy sue toss it out the window.................i still randomly yell this out from time to time

slight edge Ironman but im not sure why i just enjoyed the skits more and they seemed tightly woven into the album

Beats
Also tough IM was crafted in house while RZA just oversaw SC......you have the innovative back scratch vs the phrentic adrenaliune pace of assasination day. For soul controller you have childsplay
slight edge to ironman again as im more partial to the gritty wu style no disrepect to the beats on SC they were def banging but again i have choose one


. Lyrics
Jesus christ and Mohammed ........why man.......so he presents two very distinict flows on both albums as a matter of fact the flows anbd styles are so different that you would think 2 different artist.........but what makes it so tough is he absolutely mastered both flows ...............one is the comic book street tinged rap and the other the stream of consciousness rap that may or may not necessarily make sense on first listen.
toss up i really cant call it


Overall album

SC wins here in a much more clearer fashion since 1) the album was way longer 2) less guess stars 3)ironman was almost like a 3 person collaborative effort Ghost Rae and Cappa ( who by the way was dope on this) 4) more enjoyable and stretched the def of what a rap album esp a wu album could do at the time
SC


so i typed all this up to see if i could justify a pick and man it really is SC but gaddam i love ironman too




MC Ultra high-brolic bank roll alcohol vulture
Garlic balls dice the shield of ocre
Tally ho pitty-pat backgammon pro
Pink salmon five spring rolls know me, you love my intro
Half a face wig sewed together like Manhattan Chase
Looking like snatching the place, check behind the drapes
Castor Troy layin for Travolta mic gun pump
Laying on the floor Clark's bleeding watermelon chunks
Hold up... sprinkle the hash, Tony d
Snatch RZA last piece of fish right off the glass dish
Butter roll beats bagel tracks
wavey hair decks
Lay it down straw hat style, Butterball crown
Time life investments, when broke I wrote the old testament
Crashed domes now perform excellence
Words with the President, brunch with Yeltsin
Gorbachev under Meth's nuts, he out in Belgium
Six and a half monkeys, twelve nazis
Four disappear, three eight two one flash to thin air
God's replica no wheel drive motionless mind cresica
Tilt the hat like Escher
