After listening to both about 400 times each, Ironman is the clear standout. Supreme Clientele is more refined and focused. It's like a concentrate of everything that makes Ironman good and some shit that doesn't exist anywhere else in music. I can objectively say Supreme started a sub genre in rap.
But man, Ironman is on another fucking level bruh. Production is better, Iron Maiden is a fucking movie. The transition between 260 and Assassination Day, Fish, Soul Controller? These joints have no peer my nigga.
As far as Lyrics, if someone said lyrics peaked between Ironman and Wu-tang Forever genre wide, an argument could be made. Idk what was going on in the studio sessions but everyone was rapping their fucking ass off. It seems that members tend to show the fuck up for Ghost albums.
I think the general consensus is Supreme is better but I don't see it. At a point I could have picked either.
