    The 18-song offering is a cohesive masterpiece.

    Ultimately, while this crowdedness [from guest appearances] prevents Supreme Blientele from feeling like a definitive statement from Gunn as a rapper, the album can still function as a fine entry point to the fast-growing catalog of an ascendant rap cult hero.

    Gunn is a highly skilled rapper, but he doesn't quite bring Supreme Blientele together to be the street epic it could’ve been.

    I wish I could give this LP a better score. This is the first complete project I listen to from Westside Gunn. I still heard him manyI wish I could give this LP a better score. This is the first complete project I listen to from Westside Gunn. I still heard him many different projects here and there (as with the Alchemist, IDK and Conway the Machine of course).
    I simply can't deny the strong atmosphere Westside crafts, especially on tracks I enjoyed as on 'RVD', 'GOD$ Don't Bleed' or 'Dean Malenko'. I especially loved the production which also manages to offer more catchy vibes as 'Elizabeth', 'The Steiners' or on 'Wrestlemania 20'. In my opinion, these tracks save the record from repetitive boredom. The many samples also bring depth, colour and contrast. i also enjoyed short and sharp tracks as 'Amherst Station'.
    Concerning the lyrical content it is more a letdown to me. Obviously Westside Gunn has to adapt his lyrics to the style of his tracks, but the consistency only comes from expensive clothes, murder, drug dealing and so. I didn't have to listen to it for a long time to realize he wasn't the kind of artist who speaks about himself and daily struggles. Yet I also can admit consistency.
    Still deserves some attention though.
